Is that the one where the guy reverts to an ape-like baseline and eats animals in the zoo? If so, I didn't like it. I was hoping for more of an astral...
Just shooting from the hip without any real thought, but it seems to me you'd be doing an honor to effectively remake the game. I once saw a piece of ...
I don't want my opinion respected by anyone who fails to affirmatively divorce him- or herself from Trump. Any who continue to rise to his defense wil...
Yep, classically good. If you are going to hang with a POS then you can expect to get painted with the same brush, and deserve it. Now, if you can dem...
No. But then again, I didn't read the NYT or the NPR story either. I base my opinion of the dishonorable coward and liar solely upon that which emanat...
Not only that, but even if they had sought to interview "Attorney" General William Barr, that would mean exactly zero. Hell, even if he was under oath...
I don't know. What do the Republicans do when they are in charge? I read something the other day that pointed out how the Rs have the best of both wor...
Agreed, that is why I said: "I was going to add something about silence, and brevity, too. But I think those come close upon the heels of a probative ...
Cherry-picking anecdote and redefining won't make the general case. While a fat-cat in a gated community can be Pidgeon-holed as a Democrat if he is o...
It is, but I think if one spends time in serious consideration about exactly how a question should be formulated, and presented, it ends up being brie...
I think many have admitted it. But the tepid, and the nervous, and the fearful, and the cowardly, seek the company of others. These are conservatives,...
Bingo. I was going to say wisdom is measured by the probative nature of questions asked. I was going to add something about silence, and brevity, too....
I am currently struggling with what it is I should care about. I have created for myself a situation that is about as close to what it is I think you ...
Here is my opinion: Ronald Reagan, and his acolytes, was/are wrong. Government (the state) is not the problem, it is the solution. And government, as ...
I know. By analogy only (for it's not simply a U.S. thing) the civilian population in a war zone often blames the soldier simply because he is the per...
Can we ever rest on our laurels? If that is not in our nature then we shall continue apace, for good or for ill. But if we could ever find it in ourse...
Again, you fail to grasp the concept of proxy. Whatever. I just see the genius and the effectiveness of their intent and implementation in you: blamin...
No, it's not simple. You are simple if you think that a no-brainer requires law enforcement. If it were a no-brainer, there would be no need for law e...
You probably wouldn't understand. Those who sign a blank check for an amount up to and including their lives don't always pretend to know better than ...
I don't know about other countries, but in the U.S. it's like herding cats: a waste of time. You can try to appeal to their sense of community but tha...
Paid for by premiums and investment returns. Private insurers don't pay anything unless they are bankrupt. Indeed, they skim enough off the top betwee...
I haven't been around long enough to say. However, the answer to the thread title is, in my estimation, a definitive "No." I know some folks who belie...
:100: That brings us back to my original question regarding what I recall (long time ago) about Mussolini and fascism: six of one, half dozen of the o...
That's what the corporations want you to do: blame the state. The state not executing the will of the corporations which own it, would be political su...
Bless your heart. Corporations don't have to do anything like that when they have a state to do it for them. P.S. Perhaps I should flesh that out a li...
Movie types like to refer to "the the willing suspension of disbelief." Children get lost in fantasy play. People who want to understand dreams are th...
Oh well, in that case, you might try leading with that. Instead of this: I took the vaccine, not for me, but for others, on the advice of others who k...
I don't want you to believe anything. You asked, I answered. I've already put my life on the line, numerous times, for people I don't know, and if I d...
We will have billions of people vaccinated and ten years down the road there will still be people saying the negative fall-out may take eleven years. ...
Being critical of others does not in any way limit one's willingness to die for them. Again, it's old school, so you may not be able to understand it....
I have to agree with you. The only caveat I would add is this: Most of these beliefs were under the fridge. Trump let them out, when the lights were o...
Justice is supposed to be blind. Thus, justice would not give a rats fucking ass about how punishment would hurt the feelings of a bunch of snow flake...
About 40 years ago I thought I read something about Mussolini and fascism. If I recall, he coined the term, and it had something to do with state cont...
On compulsion, interesting tweet, when someone says: “Nobody wants to work anymore.” Response: "Nobody ever wanted to work at all. We wanted to be pro...
I basically keyed off your statement: When I read that I immediately thought of your average indebted working stiff in the U.S. The current situation ...
One of those "ethics" is the case where the law actually mandates a fiduciary take all legal action to look out for the best economic interest of bene...
:100: Bingo! When we grow beyond the population levels which allow for the old band/tribal protocols, and enter the realm of modern population densiti...
We have the capacity for both. However, I am aware of some indigenous, tribal cultures where the biggest, baddest, strongest, most-looked-up-to, admir...
I saw a meme the other day where one women is telling another women (paraphrased) "If you raise wages then the cost of goods and services will go up."...
