Wait, what? I thought America was the center of the universe and everyone everywhere hung on every word and video that came from America. Are you tell...

I'm going to have to stay up with this thread. I love to laugh, even though I don't do it much. Anyway, I think that all stand-ups (the good ones anyw...

How in hell are you going to fight the War on Christmas if you can't afford the ammo?

I feel remiss in not citing more of it. And when I say "it" I don't mean statutory or Constitutional, but judicial interpretations thereof. They are u...

Individualists bring those violations upon themselves. And they deserve it. Don't want a violation of human rights? Then don't violate the human right...

We sweep the likes of him under the rug at our peril. We should either deal with him or those who abused this poor boy.

Which brings up another issue (maybe for another thread). It seems that 17 year old girls are "victims" of exploitation when they get all wrapped up i...

For all of you people who don't know shit about America's current political division, how we got here and how virtually everything is related to it, y...

He's an alleged child rapist. Like Trump is an alleged rapist. The only difference is, they are privileged, rich, politicians who made it on daddy's m...

I don't know, but you might ask Matt Gaetz.
November 29, 2021 at 20:28
As far as I know (with the exceptions mentioned) they have not. On the other hand, they weren't selling cigarettes, sleeping, jogging, playing, or eng...

You don't lose rights. Rights are infringed. But for some curious reason it does not feel threatened by it when white people do it. Well, maybe Ruby R...

You like that, don't you? I bet you spank the monkey just thinking about it. You mean like Somalia? Or Afghanistan? Everyone carries and few people ge...

That photo is proof of my point. DOH!. What you are saying is what we used to call "MAD" or Mutually Assured Destruction. It's the very arms race I tr...

To avoid an arms race. You know, where you, NOS, or your loved-ones, can still go the grocery store and not worry about getting blown up. Do you think...
November 29, 2021 at 17:14
The verdict: When you boil it all down to the nut, here is what we find: Incentive for an arms race. We have a saying in the U.S.: "Don't bring a knif...

You mean correct your mistakes? Yeah, I'm good with that. You're the good writer. I'm just rehashing your writing to correct mistakes. Maybe I should ...

Just be happy you can now go to the zoo, jump in the polar bear cage and gun them down if they attack you. Ahmaud Arbery confronted and tried to disar...

Back in the old days we used to have a Fourth Estate that would help uncover all that. But people who think like you took their ill-gotten gains, boug...

I'd show you one or two, but I can't upload from the puter. Has to be another web site. :grin:
November 28, 2021 at 22:29
I did deliver and you can't read worth a shit. Where, in any organic document of the U.S. does it saying anything like "seize power, coordinate war, a...
November 28, 2021 at 22:27
I resemble that remark. I think I've read or heard other folks, smarter than me, who have opined that music plays the sound track of our lives. When w...

The quotation marks are appropriate. :wink: True Scotsman and all that.
November 28, 2021 at 22:08
Okay, so you prove you cannot read. You asked if any state had come about to protects rights. I delivered. You then again attack the tool created inst...

Not subjects. No. Citizens, yes. Read the U.S. Declaration of Independence. No, seriously, go read it. I would post it for you here, but I want you to...
November 28, 2021 at 20:58
That's simply not true. Centralized government comes about because the absence of them is the worst violator. Then, to check the centralized governmen...
November 28, 2021 at 20:46
I think there is a relevant distinction between bias and conflict of interest. The truth has a definite bias which should not be tempered by mediocrit...

But wait, what if I can film it and put it up on the web and it goes viral and I get a bunch of hits and make even more money! Don't be a turd burglar...

Teach Liberal Arts in school. Start at kindergarten and carry through the next 16 + years. Make a virtue of necessity by using the written word. (It's...
November 28, 2021 at 20:08
They want good little consumers and producers. Not thinkers. Hell, if they wanted thinkers then they'd teach thinking in school.

I wanna know a lot of shit. But in the middle of a firefight, I'll belay my curiosity, default to the veteran, and try not get myself or my buddy kill...
November 28, 2021 at 19:44
Cool. Those who do wo wield it are happy with your decision.
November 28, 2021 at 19:29
Rather not what? Wield the tool?
November 28, 2021 at 19:23
I think you are right. The media itself has a vested interest in marginalizing those causes because they hurt their bottom line/advertising, etc. Any ...
November 28, 2021 at 19:22
Government is just a tool. If you don't like how it is being used, then wield it yourself. It is strange how you would turn over control of the tool t...
November 28, 2021 at 19:19
It's not real. But when we venerate critical thinking without analytic thinking, we get dummies gravitating toward the word "critical." When we use th...

To a certain extent, I think scum rises to the top and then you have a circle jerk. You see a lot of the same names running the circuit. First they ha...

It's not disproved by the fact that they can. It's disproved by the fact that they don't. We came up with the state, flawed thought it may be, to move...

Yeah, I read the reason the gun charge was dropped. Barrel length issue. WI law. When I was a kid out west, I could carry a long gun to hunt, but not ...

:up: Yeah, it's harder to de-globalize than it is to vax.
November 28, 2021 at 15:22
No, I think you should distinguish between the tool and those who wield it. When you blame to tool you just do what they want. Thanks. Good luck. Oh, ...

Hey, I've got a question for you: Down here in the U.S., the servicemen and women, and the cops are venerated. They provide that thin green line, and ...
