Well, yes, capitalism is inherently violent and exploitative, although that hasn't really been the focus here, which has been the individual propensit...

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Dunno what it is, but it sounds hella good.
July 13, 2018 at 14:46
Well, Trump humiliated himself and Boris will be the one eating the shit soup in the end, so all good I guess.
July 13, 2018 at 14:34
Sure, but people in advanced democracies are generally very adverse to violence against one another unless its sanctioned either by a specific authori...

He pissed on her in the article and then told her it was raining in the press conference. I'm watching the press conference now. He just called his ow...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VVMRolRQ2E I watched this as you made it sound like Strzok came off badly but the Republicans were destroyed here. An...

True, new one should be good though. Starting this weekend. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCh2SuInQZ8

From Sacha Baron Cohen, the new Alex Jones. Borat has turned Republican @"Agustino". :lol: https://www.truthbrary.org/
July 13, 2018 at 12:38
Of course, economics has nothing to do with actual data and numbers. You just think up some semi-plausible sounding psychology, apply that to your cou...
July 13, 2018 at 12:20
Still no data, no statistics, no overall numbers. :yawn: I better help you out because it's clear now you don't have any numbers or even a vaguely cle...
July 13, 2018 at 12:18
(Saying you have an economic scheme but no numbers behind it is like saying you have a philosophical scheme but no rational basis behind it.)
July 13, 2018 at 12:02
More hot air. Show us the numbers. Data. Presumably you've calculated all this and are not just making it up as you go along, right? So, show us your ...
July 13, 2018 at 12:01
Sure, but it's often subconscious and easily masked. A lot of human psychology revolves around convincing ourselves that we're being reasonable when w...
July 13, 2018 at 11:59
The reason why is obvious. But there's no point just asserting. Show us the numbers. Back it up with evidence or it's just more hot air like when you ...
July 13, 2018 at 11:52
You don't have a scheme. You want to give 1.7 trillion* in tax revenues mostly to the rich (because that's where they'd go.) Now show us the numbers h...
July 13, 2018 at 11:49
No, they wouldn't. They pay about 35% of their income in income tax. There is no way your increased consumer taxes on some goods would more than count...
July 13, 2018 at 11:45
This sycophantic worship of rich elites by the likes of @"raza" I really don't get even though Zizek (seeing as Street brought him up) reckons it's Ca...
July 13, 2018 at 11:40
I know, if only we could find a way to stop folks who want to give the working class a better tax deal from oppressing them, we could all live in Trum...
July 13, 2018 at 11:38
So, you're on the side of rich elites because they all create jobs (which is nonsense, business owners and entrepreneurs create jobs, most rich people...
July 13, 2018 at 11:36
I don't believe it works like that, intellectuals' and philosophers' egos are so wrapped up in what they believe they very often find it extremely dif...
July 13, 2018 at 11:33
Let's try again raza. You say you're on the side of the working class so: Should be trivially easy to agree with. Take tax dollars the elites have tak...
July 13, 2018 at 11:28
:lol: Your plan is a trillion dollar give away to the rich elites you claim to be against.
July 13, 2018 at 11:22
How about no income tax for the working class and tax the rich elites more? Why is it so hard to agree to that? Anyone would think you were on their s...
July 13, 2018 at 11:20
OK, we'll see. I won't forget this any more than you didn't forget my Hillary prediction. :D
July 13, 2018 at 10:36
I agree it's disgraceful and anti-democratic if he said that meaning the FBI, but if he was sounding off as we all do sometimes it's not something tha...
July 13, 2018 at 10:31
Hey, you're halfway there. :party: :cheer: I didn't say it didn't. But haven't you heard anyone ever sound off about something they couldn't follow up...
July 13, 2018 at 10:23
I'm not going to physically attack you because you keep shilling for Trump. We both benefit by agreeing to allow free speech but not violence against ...
July 13, 2018 at 10:20
But let's go back to moral character with regard to women because you brought it up. At least tell me this, who seems the worse offender to you, the p...
July 13, 2018 at 10:14
Non-sequitur. You focused on moral character specifically adultery. Plus, he said in a personal text, "we" will stop him not specifying "we". And you ...
July 13, 2018 at 10:09
How absurd. The working class got a tiny tax break, some as little as five dollars a week. The rich got huge amounts, for those earning over a hundred...
July 13, 2018 at 10:04
@"Agustino" You must admit your comments are a little bizarre considering your history of support for Trump and your excuses for his despicable behavi...
July 13, 2018 at 09:57
Like Trump. :brow: Have you been drinking?
July 13, 2018 at 09:54
Yes, but that matters little when he's serving the elites by putting them in his cabinet and giving them massive tax breaks.
July 13, 2018 at 09:53
Another non-sequitur. People who fix roads may be low class in your view. In mine they're working class. Trump is low class. Learn the difference. And...
July 13, 2018 at 09:48
It took until now to realize that's wrong? You'll stop supporting Trump now I take it.
July 13, 2018 at 09:46
@"raza" If you knew anything about the UK you wouldn't even need a poll to know that a low class moron like Trump would have little to no support. Get...
July 13, 2018 at 09:36
Cross posted. Yes, that's called evidence I believe. So, as I said, it's great news for May that the dumb baboon came after her. Could be the factor t...
July 13, 2018 at 09:21
The full survey is linked as a pdf and the results for the UK are included separately. Now stop making stuff up.
July 13, 2018 at 09:19
Wrong as usual. http://www.newsweek.com/trump-even-more-unpopular-europe-he-us-survey-shows-790700 https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/fileadmin/files...
July 13, 2018 at 09:10
Trump did May a huge favor by insulting her and taking the side of a hard Brexit. The British public on the whole, like most of Europe, consider him a...
July 13, 2018 at 08:59
Dave Rubin holds ideas? I thought his function, on his show at least, was purely decorative?
July 13, 2018 at 02:33
I was with you up until then.
July 12, 2018 at 22:04
There's always something deeply comical about Trey Gowdy whose false impression of his own intelligence clearly derives exclusively from being around ...
July 12, 2018 at 22:02
True.
July 12, 2018 at 21:16
Unfortunately, I looked that up. There were obvious alternatives, damn you. e.g. Reefer.
July 12, 2018 at 20:25
You probably should disentangle this is a bit. It's not that big a deal to persuade someone holding an opposite worldview to you of something, but cha...
July 12, 2018 at 19:55
What a time to be right... Must be horrible to care about football. Damn.
July 11, 2018 at 20:38
Must be horrible for real football fans and actual partisans to have to sit through this.
July 11, 2018 at 19:43
Bugger.

I got one of those too but he only gave me four million quid. Bit of a con job.
