  1. Did you see how the straight white conservative christian men mind-controlled the man they interviewed into stating fascist and racist things? SWCCMs are the biggest threat to America and to the world. Too bad this fine gentlemen has been co-opted by their mind-penetrating gamma rays instilling their sensibilities.
  2. This is a very significant statement. The virus was not a very big deal for 99% of the population and a little bit of preventative ivermectin and hydroxochloquine would have had things under control by the end of summer 2020 . The covid disaster was about 1% virus-caused and 99% manmade. And Trump was a significant part of that manmade portion. Warp speed, allowing the federal government to shut down, keeping Fauci, paying hospitals to find covid everywhere, printing money and sending it to everyone rather than just opening up like every pandemic lesson ever learned stated a society should do. Biden did everything worse, of course. But Trump screwed the pooch the fastest and the firstest and should not ever get a pass on that.
  3. So, no responsible parenting leads to no ability to get or keep a job - where showing up is not negotiable. So, does poverty lead to the inability to find your way to school or does absenteeism lead to poverty? Poverty is not the cause. It is the result.
  4. Poverty is often a product of crime. Address the crime issues whether it is big city or rural and poverty rates will drop. FIFY. You were very close, though. Good try.
  5. I am always amazed at how very very fortunate people are who celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary. Just right place at the right time - for 60 straight years! Where does anyone get off being so lucky? Same for hard working people who have above average intellect, resilience, character, tolerance for risk, etc. Just lucky. And all of the other people who were in the same place at the same time - just bad luck. I had a computer in 1992. Bezos was just luckier than I was. Otherwise, one turn of the roulette wheel and we trade places. "There but for the grace of God" helps me deal with child leukemia. But career or relationship or other adult lifetime outcomes? Almost never luck.
  6. This must be a consequence of actions in 1619 and those 125 cars (and their owners) deserved it. The poor oppressed peeps were just trying to buy bread for their starving children anyway and those 125 oppressors did not give away enough money to provide bologna sandwiches. Elections have consequences.
  7. I find the discussion of the use of hyperbole much more interesting than the poll - which is unanswerable. It is the same as asking, "is fiction just lying?" Of course all fiction is lying in the strictest sense of the word. Aesop's fables are all lies. Whether the writer and reader agree ahead of time to allow the lying does not negate the fact that it is lying. Telling your 90 year old mother she looks great is hyperbole and lying unless you add .". . . compared to all the dead 90 year olds (very weird wording in retrospect) and how you looked the day you got out of surgery and compared to how I expected you to look today". All of that "truth" is not helpful but required to say to be the most perfectly honest person. A much more interesting question is when does hyperbole destroy your own credibility? Now, on the Rep/Dem take by AI - I found it interesting although I think AI is not counting the leftie hyperbolic tendency to call anyone who disagrees with them Hitler, Nazis, Fascists, Phobics, Ists, etc. This is hyperbole. Does it help make the lefties' point and change the behavior of the person they are hyperbolicly describing? No. It simply demonizes, entrenches positions, and is a lie when used for this purpose. My take is that hyperbole can be a useful shortcut to make a point or argument but it must be used gently if you intend to reach a mutually agreeable (or equally mildly distasteful but at least acceptable) conclusion/negotiation, etc. If used for this purpose it is not a lie. Conclusion - intent and degree matter.
  8. Big boles? Yeah. True.
  9. Because, according to Undefeated, "You can just kill ICE agents" really means that you disagree with ICE agents' policies and beliefs and that you really don't intend any actually killing or death to happen. It is absolutely unreasonable to think that people mean what they say.
  10. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/us/james-jennifer-crumbley-sentencing
  11. No. Idiotophobia. Buttigieg can't lead or manage a can of tomatoes. I see this 0% response poll as an indication of incredible discretion. Do you think they polled any black homosexuals? L's? B's? G's? T's? Others? By the percentages quoted as being "out there" we must have had some intersectional POCs polled who are also homophobic. Or intelligent. One of the two.
  12. Nah, I was talking about Men of Honor. By this response you prove you don't qualify.
  13. No, you outlaw crime. That stops it in its tracks. Make crime illegal and you'll have no crime. Wait . . . That's not right. The USSR had it right. Outlaw REPORTING CRIME and then you'll not have crime. Crime is not approved by the Politburo - nor by the Washington DC politicians and bureaucracy. A movie from about a decade ago had this topic in it. Child 44. "MGB leadership refuses to acknowledge the deaths as murders because Soviet doctrine states that only capitalism creates serial killers."
  14. Words mean things. These words mean one thing. All else is BS, quibbling, prevaricating, weasel-words, and unbecoming of men of honor. I have enough respect and honor for any Iranian to believe him when he says Death to America that he means exactly what those words mean.
  15. The one straight (possibly) white conservative male in Chicago went on a rampage. That's the only plausible explanation because every other type of person is incapable of committing any crime due to . . . you know, oppression and 1619 and phobias, etc. Just look at all the statistics which say so. If he did not pull the triggers he mind controlled the people who did so it is still his fault and let's talk about him.
