1) Soviets invade Afghanistan 2) Fundies fight Soviets 3) Soviets leave 4) Fundies take power in Afghanistan 5) Victory for fundies ------------------...

I find myself conflicted in this thread. I applaud Paul's moral vision, which I see as being dead on, and very well articulated. The tactics being sug...

To use one's brain. Step One: Find the on/off switch

Aha, playing hard to get, a clever strategy which builds desire and demand. Make the people beg you. Brilliant!

Another troll! Jamalrob For President in 2024!!! :-)

Here's a formula to consider: Ignore Trump, Embrace His Base If we're serious as Dems we should be looking for every possible point of agreement with ...

Oh dear, so sorry. We have a similar situation. My wife and I are on the same page. But my wife's sister, whom she is VERY close to, inhales Fox News ...

How fashionable! :-)

That's been a revelation for sure. It's a common cliche that people are stupid, but the width and depth of it is still shocking when seen in the full ...

I suggest we do with Trump what we do, or should do, with trolls on the forum. Ignore him entirely. Ok, easier said than done, gotta admit, but that's...

Ha, ha! Yea, the end is near, as always. I think one of the reasons such an unlikely person as Trump was so successful (note the past tense!) is that ...

There was way more to the sixties than elections in the way of conflict. But speaking of elections... Kennedy - killed in office Johnson - refused to ...

Were you there?

Riots in the streets of major cities, heavy death toll in Vietnam, assassinations (and attempted assassinations) of leading political figures, massive...

I'm starting to think Trump is just writing a script for the next phase of his career. Trump isn't an ideologist, he's a business man. And renting his...

The sixties were far worse, and we're still here.

Every time you speak the credibility of this forum sinks another inch. Oh well, it's just a silly little forum, I'm being stupid to care, gotta agree ...

Thanks for sharing your complete nonsense!

And yet, everyone seems to want to come live here. They're all lined up and pounding on the door, begging to be Americans. The population of the US ha...

Part of Trump's political genius is that he talks non-stop (thus dominating all forms of media) but you can never really know for sure what he's sayin...

While I'm honking, I gotta say, whatever happens we Dems need to sit down in front of a mirror and finally figure out why we continually find ourselve...

That depends on how he wins. If he really does have the votes, then yea, we suck it up. If he doesn't have the votes but tries to use executive power ...

I'm not really disagreeing. I'm trying to articulate the following... Most of the people who voted for Trump are Republicans, not fascists. To date Tr...

I didn't hear Trump's speech yet. My wife stayed up all night and told me about it. My first impression was that this is good. A Biden tidal wave woul...

I choose the later. You can declare victory if you want. Who cares? Not me.

I'm sorry, you're totally out of your depth here, though your enthusiasm is applauded.

95% of the time, Iraq war critics will list all the price tags for the war, conclude those prices were too high, and base their argument on that judgm...

Well, he's totally kicking your ass. Isn't that what lawyers are supposed to do?

Paul, I applaud your moral vision, and feel you make many great points. You're arguing your case like a skillful lawyer, which perhaps you actually ar...

The problem with this approach is what we see in this thread, the undermining of support for such projects. No US administration can just willy nilly ...

Ok, you make good points. To counter, the dictators will be easier to knock off once they're bankrupt. Russia, the Mid East, Iran, Venezuela, all heav...

But you haven't reached the age where you can make anything close to a credible argument against the Iraq war. So I had to do it for you. See above.

You mean you're not 10 years old now??? Dang, I got that one wrong.

Communist China is the biggest dictatorship in human history. A competition between them and democratic countries may be the defining political issue ...

Well, this seems one of those definitional battles, as people wish to use the word "exists" in different ways. Perhaps we can find different words for...

Because this is a philosophy forum, I want to take a moment for an argument against the war in Iraq. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost trillions o...

I rarely quote entire posts, but this one deserves it. Right on the money. Well done Paul!

Atheists don't commit the appeal to faith fallacy... Because they typically don't know that they too are using faith. There's not much one can do in r...

Why have none of the VERY rich gulf oil states developed nukes in response to Israel, who has had nukes for a long time now? They're not afraid of Isr...

Ok Paul, I carried this ball for awhile. Handing the baton back to you.

It probably would be wise for you to retreat before this becomes any more embarrassing. You know how you know a LOT about Buddhism, and I know almost ...

Any time you wish to withdraw from NATO, you are free to do so. Hey, maybe you could strike up a good deal with Putin, he seems like a nice guy.

So I take your point to be that if Saddam was torturing your family we should not intervene. Ok, duly noted.

Well ok, that's one way to dodge the question. Why not just retire from the thread though? I enjoy your insights on other topics and look forward to m...

They're all happy to accept our help when it's their head on the psychopath's chopping block. I don't recall resistance to the invasion of Normandy by...

Saddam just moved in next door to you. Will you be calling the police, or listening to the screams?

I knew you'd dodge the question. They always do.

The real threat of Saddam getting a nuclear weapon was his living existence. The Iranians are inching right up to the edge of having nukes. What Sadda...

The reality of space has been confirmed by science. Some will say this means it exists. Ok, that's one definition of existence which can be chosen. Pe...
