As I'm not convinced that even the above will be enough to penetrate the solid wood that is the Trump supporter's brain, here is a quote from me about...
This is the last time I am going to explain that I am not a Hillary Clinton supporter, that I don't like her in the slightest, and I would never vote ...
Well, if that's the best the Daily Mail can do these days in their crusade against all things non-Anglo-Saxon, they really must have scraped the botto...
What's true is that he boasted about sexually assaulting women. He boasted about doing it himself. You can continue to try to blame that on Hollywood,...
It depends on the words, and the actions, and the actions the words describe. He's done far far worse things than that (in terms of foreign policy in ...
It wouldn't matter anyway; neither your opinion nor mine alone doth a debate win make, and the general public by a large margin gave it to Clinton. Th...
That's just factually incorrect. The only scientific poll (i.e. based on a random sampling etc) that I've seen gave the debate to Clinton. "CNN's poll...
I don't set the bar, society sets it. Anyway, I think I've said before on this forum that I don't believe that simply being against gay marriage makes...
Yeah, I wish those progressives would stop inflating Putin's murdering of journalists and political opponents. Nothing wrong with a bit of murder here...
Earlier in this thread, you said the President should set... Now you say... If your goal is to prove my point, then by contradicting yourself so openl...
Social capital is either distributed equally or it's not. If it's not then your personal offense at it being redistributed in your favour is outweighe...
Yes, Trump boasted about sexually assaulting woman. And most Trump supporters apparently think that's normal behaviour, which speaks volumes about the...
It's not so much the job that you do but how you approach life in general that's important. My experience suggests to me that what most makes people h...
I'm not going to argue with you about who's being more clear about what we're arguing about. I hadn't got on to my personal view of Eich's case yet. I...
Absolutely not*, in my view, but that's precisely the sort of argument that tends to get proffered by those on the right -if not always directly- whic...
I mean what I said. That's why he was fired. If supporting proposition 8 had been good for business, he wouldn't have been. I made a factual observati...
Brendan Eich is an interesting case, and it's probably a good one to debate to see where people stand on this issue. It seems to me he was fired direc...
There is a sense we're going to end up talking past each other during this debate anyway as conservatives* tend to use the term PC exclusively as a pe...
If Trump's only crime was to be stupid enough to be himself that alone should disqualify him from any public office. Anyway, of course there is a nece...
Societies differ not only across nations but over time in terms of people's attitudes. Not only is that self-evident, it has been empirically demonstr...
You need to look at this from a wider angle. Increased social capital provides a more favourable environment for the fostering of self-esteem. This do...
Made a couple of edits (now in italics) to the last paragraph of my previous post as it was an overly simplistic way to put things. Psychological expl...
I'd agree with this. It could only work of course if both sides could overcome their ideological biases in favour of reasoning out novel political pos...
Necessarily so. The oppressed lack social capital, which means they themselves are generally powerless to change the terms used to define them. That's...
Well observed. It's not simply a matter of being personally offended or not, it's a matter of the relative distribution of social capital to the group...
It's principled to only vote for a candidate who stands for your principles; and it is certainly unprincipled to vote for a candidate who stands in ab...
You are supporting him, strategic reasons or no. To vote for someone or to encourage others to do so just is to support them. In fact, for a president...
Of the people you associate with, maybe. Of the general population, no. Most men think that if you have enough money, you should sexually assault wome...
It pans out the same for every group that has traditionally had low social capital; you use whatever means available to rebalance power relations and ...
The intended function of political correctness is to redistribute social power from the dominant to the dominated by imposing a social penalty for the...
To the extent we believe in our opinions, we can't but will them, and humility of any positive value is a strategy in this regard along with everythin...
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN1271RV Donald Trump. Hero of ignorant conservatives everywhere. Of course, it doesn't matter how...
There is a time and a place for pessimism, and a time and a place for optimism. Then and there was that for pessimism; now and here that for optimism....
Snap polls like those done by...The Drudge Report. By the way, please never use the Daily Mail as a reference if you want to be taken seriously. It's ...
And Trump's ex-wife also once accused him of rape. So, I guess we should make future debates about rape. Sorry, Agustino, but you are shredding your m...
I'm a pragmatist too. But I thought you being Christian and promoting Christian values there were certain lines you weren't supposed to cross like acc...
OK, and you want to replace that with the mindset that anything goes if you're not on the same team as me, which is what, morally superior? Again, wha...
