Real big problem. Emotional dysregulation is something that's extremely hard to overcome. As I understand, having no example of some fundamental behav...
I, for one, think immigrations laws should be enforced. The rest is window dressing on both sides. Who cares, other than the damage and violence (whic...
Not in the terms here bandied about. Love seems to be some emergent property of affectionate relationships. That said, there seem forms of 'love' whic...
I really don't know what you're getting at here. I've said its an error in terms. More specifically: These are the same claims (the two in quotes). P ...
I think this is a bit of 'curse of knowledge'. I've outlined elsewhere that my Wife and I, having come up against this ssame confusion, realise that w...
I can't quite see whether you're trying to say that htis means its not a 'lone nut' or that it's somehow problematic that the security apparatus don't...
My intuitive answer would be this is incoherent. If the belief is 'not true' then the belief is false. Even if there's some way to jigger the state of...
I would want to say no one has advocated for this. Anywhere in the thread. Yep. Arbitrary intolerance is not. Intolerance which has a requisite reason...
We've had a decent exchange. There shouldn't be tension read into anything I've said. My point was actually more (I think) to do with that this claim ...
I have been over this. It's becoming really frustrating(not you personally - but note if anything seems terse, it's not on purpose): You can massage a...
HI Athena, I think it may be time to start reconsidering your clearly either, dishonest, or delusional takes on the world: When comparing the 1930s to...
Nah mate, not all that. You're obviously here for hte right reasons - thats why I still tried to respond as best I could :) I think you'll do well. I ...
Can someone explain, without reference to banal personal preferences, why my comment which was wholly on topic was removed? Glibness is not against th...
So, going through this piece by piece - you're leaving me with no much more to say than "So, you made it up". You quoted yourself, not me. I'm not goi...
Both - but our most recent exchange has jaded me on the latter. No hard feelings - just an explanation. .. yes, and with some jest. I should've made t...
Socialization. That's the process. This isn't really arguable, unless you hold (against basically every single take that makes sens) that gender is ti...
Usually, outside of the West. So, let's be clear: you're picking out the evils of Western history for a discussion. Not the concepts you're outlining....
No, just unfortunate. And I think that is the case. That's why there's (still) a push against democracy. People tend not to vote in their own best int...
You are not paying any attention. At this stage, i am more comfortable calling you willfully ignorant. The words are not entirely relevant. The sound ...
Hits hard. I think the idea that we should taken politicians seriously, morally, is a joke. Absolute joke. It leads to the types of discussions going ...
Please quote where i mentioned prison. Please. Please quote where I suggested this (or even mentioned it as a topic???????) This explains you, I guess...
On it's face, this has always appeared the case to me and it didn't take getting into any professional capacity to note it. There's a clear difference...
I don't think much of this is true, even on a historical level. So i'll leave it.. some of the more underhanded comments seem pretty self-serving. Spe...
Interesting. So, this sort of takes a 'social constructionist' view but wants to put this in the realm of the communal. I suppose I can get on with th...
It is quite hard to understand what you're actually getting at in this para (the whole thing, not just not part). It seems you want to say that an ant...
No, probably not. But I do think any large-scale rioting of this kind should be quelled. Whos to do it? Edit: Appeal court just halted the requirement...
I have to say I did not expect this. yep. But they shade off into each other in a way that we can't really deal with in real time. Good lord. If this ...
I told you I wasn't aware of this. I'm not asking you to do anything. Biden supported racial riots. I'm not really saying anything here - just that pe...
Wow that sucks. Does this indicate though that the administration perhaps isn't quite so gung-ho racist as purported? Unsure - but worth noting that t...
If you can't evaluate them against the objection facts of the extend of LA, the extent of downtown LA, the numbers involved and the levels of violence...
That's a racist action, though. Your point isn't lost, hence my only real conclusion being: When the sorts of racism I'm picking up are overtly defend...
Yes. Actual videos and pictures of the riots across multiple areas, which include vandalism, looting and various forms of assault. I am unsure why you...
Are we really wanting to play that game? AI is literally designed to not report accurately on politically charged issues. It tells us as much, in many...
I think this entirely depends on the individual and the vice. I've been at the mercy of several vices through my life, and am pretty strong-willed gen...
Enjoy the thread - Can't add much more than Wayfarer has said. Perhaps I would add that that account doesn't seem to engage literal suffering, as laid...
Yeah, i'd agree, but I don't rush to immediately condemn it. I tend to just look at what's happening in each case - BLM, I was on board with until I r...
