Perhaps the inability to engage in the racial problems of the present and having a discourse that goes in circles? People ought to understand that not...

His warcrime, apart being part of commander in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq and ending up commanding the whole lot, was that there was a case of co...

This is the scary part. I'd advise people really to look at the way Fox News etc. are covering the events, just to get a feel where Trump is going. It...

Never had one? China knows that the real objective for it is to be like the US: have a huge domestic market and those +1 billion citizens to be as gre...

Seems that you either don't get my point or have some bone to pick. And I've said multiple times that the whole culture has to change, or that whole d...

Hear hear. Populism is inherently divisive at it's core, be it right-wing or left-wing. Being against Trump is one thing, but being against the suppor...

In a way Trump supporters are like supporters of Hugo Chavez... and those that support the present Venezuelan government still. What got them to vote ...

Let's see how the elections will go. Biden has a lead. Well, Trump isn't an existential threat to the US or it's constitution, he likely won't go get ...

Nobody has said that Trump is incapable of getting himself into the media limelight. Where his inability lies in having the ability to lead a myriad o...

The real damage that he does is making the government not to react properly. Trump cannot control his White House, it's chaos there, and surely he can...

There are those too, you know. https://www.sltrib.com/resizer/nYqN7qkK_tPp4of9N0HVFgej2tU=/970x0/filters:quality(100)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcp...

The way the previous secretary of defense general Mattis commented the actions of Trump shows the seriousness of the situation: An immature leader whi...

Thank you for sharing that, really. It's great to hear from someone working in a police department. You make very good points in your comment. Just li...

Secretary of Defence Esper is against deploying the military (except the National Guard, which is already deployed). A common sense reply, that also t...

The logic is that there are the site guidelines and people have to follow them. And I do presume when the admin bans someone he or she will look if th...

When one says that the culture has to change, it actually is about an immense field of work, multitude of things that would have to change. Not only t...

Trump desperately wants to inflame the situation and make it worse. Among his supporters, he would look good. Better yet, that Democrats and never-Tru...

You know the answer, everybody packs a video camera in his or her pocket and a truly easy way to get it published now days exists. And just like with ...

Yep. If Americans think now it's bad, they just can look to Latin America for a glimpse how much worse it can be. (Of course, the statistic of Syria i...

StreetlightX, I think I found the reason, because I didn't notice your reply here: Sorry for that, but this thread goes too fast for me. I was referri...

Many times the real solution is just to form a new police department. Let everybody go, start from scratch. Well, It's not hard to show that Mexico an...

No it isn't. Been there, lived there few years in childhood, your not so different from everybody else. Really. Just look south at your border. Travel...

So the US is totally incomparable to other nations. OK. :sad:
June 02, 2020 at 14:52
So you think that the US so special, so different from anybody else, that any kind of comparison is useless? You don't think that other countries have...
June 02, 2020 at 14:48
Now there's a good start. It won't change everything, but these kind of reforms would contribute to changing the culture. Perhaps in a decade the poli...

I certainly didn't say Trump was the root cause, but not only is he an accelerator, but the best example why the issue isn't resolved. And likely he w...

No. Reminding people, even mods and admins, of the present rules usually works. This is a philosophy forum so people are indeed logical when following...

Never saw that remark, but noticed earlier that Chester was getting a little bit agitated. Too bad, but that's a clear case for banning.

The Police is part of social policy in every country, StreetlightX. I think the inability for America to solve this becomes crystal clear in the respo...

So how many protests have you genuinely seen from the present ones? Just replace in comment "left" with "right", and that's how the other side thinks ...
June 01, 2020 at 11:16
Not only that, but your politicians are basically prisoners of this stated discourse. It truly strangles genuine discussion. Watched a short clip of T...
June 01, 2020 at 11:07
Thanks for a long interesting answer. Yet I feel that now you put the US to be quite different from other countries. Wouldn't there be some general fa...
June 01, 2020 at 10:56
I'm not so sure it's just the rich, that seems a bit of an exacerbation. I think even poor people do want police to perform well. Yet were you hit the...

The interesting question is why the US simply is unable to truly reform it's police? In fact the police has started to imitate the military more and m...

The reasoning in Turing's test is quite similar to yours: that we'd just notice it, because we are conscious. Yet the fact is that appearances can be ...
