All of that makes sense. When I referred to the idea of those who don't want to be lead, I was thinking of the parent child relationship. I enrolled m...
:100: Spot on. I'm no teacher, but I do know the art of teaching has the necessary methodologies, starting with pre-school/kindergarten on up. But lik...
You got called out on it at the time, when it was fresh. Rather than admitting you put something I allegedly said, in quotes over my name, or showing ...
The biggest open conspiracy is our agreement to look the other way when we see others doing what we do, or want to do, but about which we all know bet...
I think socialism is alive and well in the United States. The problem is, people get hung up on the idea of "pure." However, socialism, like "capitali...
True enough. Capitalism (really just pretense) is simply a free market tool used by socialism to achieve some of it's goals. Self-identified "capitali...
But think of all the liars who succeed! You never know who you can trust when they've lost credibility. Like you. Did you misquote me, or not? I mean,...
If life bores you, risk it. Me. I know that can be taken to an extreme also, but, as yGasset opined, how insipid life must be for a creature, man for ...
Yes. Not what I wanted to hear, but :100: sense. I am glad that you parsed "public education" from the "teacher." I think we have a lot of teachers, b...
Honest question: Has it been determined that depression is not the result of leisure? I ASSume we can't tell if the Neandertal or the Cro-Magnon ever ...
Regarding meritocracy, how do we account for heirs? We want to honor the will of the dead, but they are, after all, dead, right? So, if their spawn di...
The difference is, the state is, ultimately, under our control. When corporations control the state, we fascism (ala Mussolini). So, the state's train...
I wondered why we got along so famously! Now we have it. The north county is indeed deep in the heart of barbarian white supremacy. So it may be a goo...
I will share this with someone I love. Someone who I dearly want to see the wisdom in it. Someone who does not want to be lead, or at least lead by me...
"It's kind of fucked up that we got news this week that Arkansas executed an innocent man and it barely registered." The Rude Pundit Not sure if that ...
That is for sure the most egregious example. But even without monopoly, the state, in it's wisdom, thought to entice capital, locked up in cowardly fe...
I will be watching this thread for wisdom. So far, I'm not disappointed. What I also like to see addressed, maybe in another thread, is how to lead on...
Queue up the illogical compartmentalization of "left" with communism. LOL! The right is so predictable, because they want slavery based on race and cl...
You probably already know this, but the corporation is a state favor to investors. The corporation is a creature of Big Government and does not exist ...
I didn't think so at all. I thought jorndoe had laid out the "for the sake of argument" premise which you refused to accept. I was merely commenting o...
Sounds good. I was just taking his premises as given in support of a conclusion. As you know, I am a big fan of not doing that. Anything you don't agr...
How convenient. See how that works? You step on your dick, and rather than take personal responsibility for your own actions, you just want to forget ...
That may very well be what happens to a man who is voluntarily isolated from the pub table: He starts to view this as a social activity. Regardless, h...
I know that as well, or better than you. But we are not talking about one shit storm after the next. We are talking about the current, ongoing shit st...
Correct. There is also a huge distinction between the past, and ongoing shit. Once the shit is over, we can think about moving on. Until then, we need...
I'm not going to dispute that. I will, however, remind that the idea of service is often justified by the individual as a recognition there is somethi...
True. I just don't know what pulling out all the stops would look like if you don't have the Senate in the bag. But it's too late to play nice. All bi...
:100: Correct. That was all part of the "etc." I referred to. Occupy Wall St. kind of withered on the vine, Hillary never turned over her Goldman Sach...
That's the thing: It dissipated; over Gitmo, Black Sites, etc. And that's what the left usually does: They turn on their own once in power. Because, o...
:100: Not much else to say, but that never stopped me. Notwithstanding what the right says about the left being sheeple, the simple fact is, they are ...
I agree with Wayfarer's last post. On my thoughts, if you want to run interference for one who's opinions have found solace in the company of the man ...
I never mentioned the American Revolution. I never said there were. No, I did not. Correct. That was the whole point. Doh! You say too much. Regardles...
:100: I offer the following for my left wing liberal brethren. What should have happened: All former slave-owning real and personal property turned ov...
I got that, but my Fallacy Man is a super hero and would not be taken down by a mere boy. My Fallacy Man continues on the road of correction! :starstr...
The answer to each question you asked was well within your grasp, had you just thought about it and not asked. But I made the mistake of perceiving si...
It's a mistake to believe that noting a fallacy concludes the argument. Fallacy man swoops in, notes the fallacy, one of the boys says "fallacy fallac...
