I liken our death to what you are suggesting god may have done. When we die, it's like a big bang, where all our molecules and finer particles are blo...

I must be out of the loop. I do know that I often hear "the right" complaining that the "lame stream media" never reports news of the left acting like...

:100: Sometimes they do it as they complain about it and don't even see themselves doing it. Crazy.

You will always see too many red flags.

:100: I equate it to little Billy and Sally coming home from school and daddy coming home from work. They argue current events around the dinner table...

Cancel culture is an ancient, time-tested, conservative value, used in tribal communities in lieu of physical or verbal punishment. It's called "ostra...

I remember those days. :blush:

Fucking awesome! I was just thinking something similar to that but let it wander out of my head. Thanks.

The answer is education; teaching people how to think (as opposed to what to think). One of the problems is, the left, when it is in charge, tends tow...

I like that. I often wonder, however, if it's not so much that we have something animals don't, or that we somehow gained something through evolution ...

This reminds me of the first elk I ever killed. Even before I finished gutting, skinning and quartering, the flies were on it. Shortly there after, a ...

I agree. Let's do it. It's an alternative to the "socialism" they whine about as they take advantage of it. Here's something else I like the idea of: ...

I like it, but my understanding of All has me thinking All could be both before and after at the same time, and not. Plus, while my understanding of A...

No, you are right. I woke up this morning with my brain on, asked my wife and we worked it out on a piece of paper like some third graders. :blush: As...

I'll have to take your word for it, because, like I said, I'm no math guy, but I see we start with 2 people and end up with 16 in four generations. Wh...

I will stipulate to being a math dummy, even among Americans, I am a dummy. But if a woman and man replicate themselves with two kids who grow and eac...

Forget right or wrong, long or good odds, just asking what are the different scenarios people have come up with so far: 1. Negligent animal to human; ...

When one takes a shit, who does one take it from?

I try to be. I've been trying harder lately, but it's a tough row to hoe for a stick in the mud like me. I've heard it's gets easier as you do it. Com...

Here's an example of Trumpette thinking: If they suffer a purge due to their threating and intimidating of legislators and their families, they will g...

Wouldn't someone have to go away before you could miss them? My flag would say "Go away and let's see!"

It's my understanding Ronald Reagan first championed gun control in CA in response to black folks packing guns at rallies and occupations. Gun control...

I agree. I just don't think the pure form has ever been tried. The original efforts to lure ill-gotten gains out from under the beds in the castles an...

Because the right is so adept at what it does. See flag. See "liberal". See "American". See "patriot." That and the fact that the left does not stand ...

:100: Even if they did, they are now inextricably married to the company they keep. They had a chance to divorce, but alas, Liz Cheney was thrown unde...

/ Sounds intractable. Somewhat off topic, and fiction, but have you ever seen "Captain Fantastic" 2016? I always recommend people not read reviews, bu...

:100:

Yep, they all are. And they are smart enough to fool the stupid people into thinking they are a bunch of self-made, risk-taking, boot-strapping captai...

And it is on that point where I don't know why the opposition has not called them on it: "You want true capitalism? Okay, no more government sanction/...

Personally, I don't think capitalism is the problem. The problem is self-described capitalists who externalize the costs of their activities onto thos...

Where/when do you think that break point is? I'm having a little brain lock-up on that one. Can you give me an example of when that might have been, p...

So much so that I feel uncomfortable, out of sorts, when someone agrees with me. It must be a trick, right? Or sarcasm? What am I to do if I can't tak...

It’s a fur piece from the Vishnu Schist to the distal twist. Climbing from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the tip of a bison horn will cover some m...

An idea I like to play with is air. I personally think that while I don't own all the air, I own that which I inhale; at least until I exhale it. So, ...

I think you may be right, but I am saddened by the thought of politicians constituting a beneficial technique; especially the conniving ones. Those th...

Who let the dogs out? That is a legitimate question, the answer to which can inform future action. But in the meantime, I'll not stop anyone who's out...

I don't know; the whole "War on Christmas" thing seems pretty convincing to me. Maybe we are out to get them. :wink:

By that test, I'm not very woke. :sad: :smirk: :grin:

Well, as Stephen Colbert said, ". . .reality has a well-known liberal bias."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Anyone who wants to say something, but feels put-upon, censored, or PC'd out of a conversation, will have a...

I read a persuasive article some time ago, postulating that we would soon have to side with the Plutocracy or cartels. Both of those entities would pe...

Yes. I think those wars were fought to free slaves and slaughter racists and fascists murders. I don't want them to have liberty. P.S. I'm not a big f...

I think there is a direct relationship between statism and population.

I don't think we should restrict speech we think is valid. I think we should restrict speech we think is invalid, regardless of what they think. I'm s...

The fact that evil can use a gun does not mean that goodness should forgo the use. P.S. Unless and until we educate to the point where falsehood becom...

I think a lot hinges upon the words "correctly understood" and "theft." If we are to limit our consideration to law or other norms, then it is easy to...

It might be incorrect to say humanity ever existed, but a lie would require intent to deceive. In either case, a perceiver is required. As to somethin...

:100:

I would also add: Israel, having the benefit of history, may be hoping that the Palestinians will eventually just "accept" the way things are. But the...

I tried parsing that and can only say you must be saying the first is conjunctive and the second disjunctive, with the first being correct and the sec...
