BTW, I'm a liberal, so I'm having to think backwards a little bit to answer your question. People who can't manage to see the faults in their own tend...

One should have respect for what evolves naturally.

In the 1970s, during a wave of liberalism, Western Electric was prevailed upon by the federal government to hire incarcerated felons to work in their ...

What time frame? The last 50 years? The last 200?

This was my statement: So obviously I was talking about perception. Do you want to venture from this topic to the question of what truths liberals hav...

I meant truths.

1. I was attempting to touch on the Democrat-educated vs Republican-blue-collar divide and how that bears on the OP. I perceive a harshness to the Rep...

Anyway to the OP, I say it's all multifaceted, but the syndrome mentioned is part if the mix.

It's enough to turn a person to Taoism. I read Being There. It's good.

As long as were being entertained, that's all that matters. :yum:

Think about what TV did for Kennedy. The internet is TV squared.

That line "You can't handle the truth!!" is from a movie about the US military. Nicholson's character is enraged that he's being held account for acti...

Could you say more?

One facet of it is that Democrats are thought of as the compassionate, intelligent, more civil part of the American culture. The term "elite" expresse...

We need to transition from criminalizing drug use to offering government controlled rehab. Money needs to be channeled into inner cities for job creat...

Just to clarify, how are your views different from Jordan Peterson fueled incel nonsense?

You should ask this: what action that would bring the world closer to your ideal would not also hurt people? Think of a female archeologist who wants ...

Agustino seems to want to preach something ghastly without saying it explicitly. The result is that he isnt saying anything at all. :up:

You seem to be completely out of touch with reality, but I'm suspecting that you're just acting that way to make us think you're an average American. ...

I appreciate your perspective. I'm just more inclined to do anthropology, especially since I'm out here with the natives eating their food and laughin...

There's a variety of home-grown American conspiracy theorist who would see a connection between our joint condemnation of Trump's fumbling maneuvers w...

Note how the end of the Cold War was bad for business. The fountain slacks off and gets spurty in the 90s.

Clinton wouldn't have needed a special council because she wouldn't have fired Comey.

Cool. I'll PM him.

Maybe, but no one on this forum is getting your message because of the way you're presenting it. What's your first language, if you dont mind my askin...

I dont think this forum is like that. It does lean left, though.

What you just wrote is worthy of discussion. Was his OP poorly written?

This forum does lean left. It doesn't really need to be balanced in order to offer a place to discuss philosophy.

Sort of, yes. In order to understand the history of Irish Americans you have to put on history goggles that will allow you to see the hatred that was ...

He's being compared to Lincoln in The Donald, so...

I was thinking of patterns that pervade experience: like spring, summer, autumn, winter. What's the relationship between belief and identity? Are beli...

A house divided against itself beats two in the bush.

That's because you have a nodule in your medulla.

I just want to point out the melody and rhythm of this sentence. It's magic.

Very MLK-Jr of you. We'll see. It will be up to millennials.

Nobody will remember this. Its all about consumer confidence in the third quarter of his third year in office. If its high, he'll be back for another ...

Exactly.

You need to put your primate goggles on. Americans love trump because he seems tough. Trump loves Putin for the same reason.

Just overheard two natives talking about trump and putin "carving up the world." In pretty sure they heard that on CNN. And that it's partly true.

No that was me. I'm a swamp ninja.

Chomsky's right: Trump is a distraction.

Is your government looking into defending itself from cyber attack? Anything from influencing the generally messy democratic process to hacking the na...

. Yep. Did you have a question about that?

What did I say?

You wont stop me from being lazy? :blush: I've actually got a busy day today. This is fun time.

I explained in that post.

I'm not a trumpite, but I know that you are spinning the facts. That accomplishes nothing.

Russia's actions were hostile, but it's a little ridiculous to whine about it. It pales in comparison to the kind of intrusion the US has accomplished...

No one knows. Are you having fun, raza? :sparkle:
