It's creepy to talk about someone who doesn't speak up for themselves, but since you bring it up, she wrote, "I am not sure what I feel comfortable in...

If you were comfortable with your insecurity then you'd be open to discussing your beliefs. That's what being comfortable means in this context. But I...

Was just tripping on the title of Ann Coulter’s new book: Resistance is Futile! How the Trump-hating left lost its collective mind. In popular culture...

So you actually believe that Trump is good for our country, or democracy in general?

So what happens to a religious in-humanist when they visit a gallery?

I'm not devaluing love and I didn't claim the difficulty of taking you seriously was wise. It's more of an intuitive estimation, I suppose. But maybe ...

And that ended well.

It’s hard to take someone who holds such a shallow and idealistic view of love seriously, not to mention the melodrama. Love is not the pinnacle. Any ...

People who wear their heart on their sleeve are subject to all comers, and therefore have all sorts of problems.

Well, I google searched the term 'metaphysical experience' and people appear to generally use it to refer to spiritual, mystical, or intuitive experie...

What exactly do you mean by a metaphysical experience?

My only real aspiration is to experience ego death before I die.

Nothing is a concept. Concepts require definition.

That must be really hard to do with their pockets so full of cash.

Good English would be “fewer words.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXPhLXuJ90I Sooo, liberals are really nazi scumbags? :razz:

Speaking of "documentaries," you like this one, Raza? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXPhLXuJ90I

I was reading today that China is strategically targeting red states with their retaliatory tariffs, and as a consequence Trump will bailout the farmi...

Doesn’t sound that bad until you consider the Cambridge Analytica data and the people involved with it.

I can’t tell if you’re being serious. To be clear, if someone says that a candidate for presidential office ought to win it appears to mean that they ...

You realized it was morally right for him to win. Perhaps you should watch more of his rallies.

Having just skimmed through the other choices, it doesn't seem out of place.

You put a lounge topic about Trump derangement syndrome on the Facebook page? :chin:

In an overly 'rational' world, or rather culture, I think we tend to loose touch with aesthetics and perhaps ethics along with it. Not sure what the m...

This might be one way to make sense of Scott Adams cognitive dissonance theory as applied to TDS. All the dirty deeds that all the Lefties have done d...

Very much agree.

Well, at least you admit to reluctance. I heared that, though I still don’t understand the reason for it. Adiós muchachos. :smile:

Not sure what you mean by this. I’m most interested in what others think of Adams application of cognitive dissonance theory to Trump derangement synd...

Relax, Frank, we get what you’re saying. It’s just that your descriptions are odd and misleading, and you’re reluctant to clarify them when asked to f...

I suppose you believe that Trump actually holds conservative values.

And this somehow relates to a reverence for “natural” evolution?

Liberals believe in progress so naturally they’ll experiment and try to improve social systems. There’s abundant evidence that intentional progress is...

If you were an ally of mine you would have made a better attempt at substantiating the claim that you made.

Nothing, apparently.

If you could be less abstract and general I might be able to appreciate your claim.

It’s said that Rubins’ gets a lot of $$ from a Koch bros think tank fund, and he’s all about the $$, incidentally.

Sure, that aligns with liberal progressive values. Is privatize the "natural" evolution of the prison system? Anyway, where are the truths in this tha...

I think the last few days have shown what a fake strong man he is.

Populists don't rely on mere policy positions to get elected.

Yes, if you don't mind.

To try giving some semblance of credibility to the narrative, I suppose.

Okay, what truths?

So you didn't mean truth, you meant non-PC.

I wouldn't say Adams is worth listening to. He's a lot like Rubin in, for whatever reason, wanting to appear rational and centrist. I guess they think...

Weird thing is that most of this is pretty much covered in the Rubin's interview, and yet Adams tries to substantiate TDS with cognitive dissonance th...

Unless you're claiming that "it's a mistake for the government to help people in inner cities" is telling the truth, you haven't mentioned what these ...

What kind of truths are you talking about? What are some examples?

Trump aggressively confronted Putin about election interference. Just kidding! :lol:

Everyone, because persuasion is effective in politics. Are Trump and his supporters interested in truth? Doesn't appear so. In fact, accepting and sup...
