I do not think that phrase means what you think it means.

My saintly blood is incorruptible. :halo:

Your point is lost on me. Nixon, for example, was impeached for abuse of power, obstruction of justice, etc. If a US president is above the law then h...

My suspension of disbelief was broken by the doubt that someone called to dinner from afar would accurately recognize a juvenile sparrow skull.

No. Kinship groups, for instance, don’t even require a military. In any case, the topic is specifically about democracies. Democracy requires a lot of...

I donated blood this afternoon, and on the way out the lady at the counter told me that I saved three lives. :halo:

Democracy requires supporting institutions to function, such as 'the rule of law'. It's true that those with wealth and power enjoy a privileged posit...

Well, when you put it that way, sure, those things are very practical for those that know how to use them effectively, but not for those that don't.

"Jesus Guns Babies" are each rather impractical, truth be told.

And conservatives don’t? Morality isn’t as important to conservatives?

Creativity is problem-solving.

Consider that even if there were a *grand scheme* life would still be pointless because all schemes, whether grand or pedestrian, are limited and tran...

Your philosophy is contraryism? :lol:

Can’t help, I’m a-Freud. Something like that. Doodles take life on their own sometimes.

Hmm, when you put it that way, maybe it does have enough tragedy.

Not nearly enough tragedy.

Of course, and I think we should all try our best to be aware of our implicit biases and subconscious conditioning.

I expected there to be a twist at the end and feel a little jipped.

How can we care about Laura’s pig being treated badly when there are literally millions of pigs around the world being treated badly and slaughtered e...

Kind of an insane thought considering that over three million pigs are treated badly and slaughtered every day of the week.

Are we talk’n slaughter house or domestic abuse?

Prisoner Without Bars The fall was inexplicable in cause and devastating in effect. A twofold break, radius and ulnar, with lateral and dorsal displac...

Bravos. :clap:

Kind of a big asks to round up all the piggies and put them in one pen.

Sweet. Reminds me of The Tiger & The Strawberry zen koan.

Just finished the latest, The Heir of Caladan, and I definitely feel done, though in truth I’ll probability be inclined to read along no matter how la...

The concepts of heaven/hell are based on an :down: overlord :down: . Some people like being lorded over and others do not.

Oh, it was "fine people". Anyway, it seems to me that he was trying to be careful about rubbing the alt-right the wrong way. Why would he need to do t...

What do I have?

There were good people on both sides of Charlottesville, my good man, good people on both sides. :flower:

I skimmed through it and out of the about 40 that I looked at, two of them I knew of and assumed true, namely the one about tear-gassing protesters in...

Well it’s just odd that you can’t think of even one example of lies about Trump, while claiming that the balance is “pretty close”. I can’t tell if yo...

Funny, I imagine there are relatively few in the world who couldn’t recall a few Trump lies off the top of their heads.

I'm curious about what you know that the vast majority of Americans don't know about Trump. What are some of the major lies that people believe about ...

So you believe that more people believe or go along with lies about Trump than people who believe or go along with Trump lies?

When I think of incidents like Jan 6th I tend to think that mental illness must play a large part, and that given the sheer volume of Trump lies and t...

Take the Big Lie for example, Trump is obviously trying to “get ahead” with this lie, and many are complicit in this lie because they either actually ...

I hope you managed to not wet yourself with excitement.

Generally straight, and white, and male.

Kari Lake lost. That’s gotta sting, and is yet another reminder that Trump is a big fat loser.

You're happy with the current distribution of power?
