The saddest part is how many of 'em are so self-oblivious that they would, in all their unreflective cluelessness, honestly deny it.

I figure their Step 1 is to hold the line on "Men are men, women are women. You're one or the other, cuz that's natural and how Gawd made it." Step 2 is "Men are superior, and the place of a woman is one step behind, cuz that's natural and how Gawd made it." Step 3 is "White men are superior...

Besides, there are market solutions to these problems. Nanny-ware can be made much more smart and powerful. If a family, school, library, or any other place wants to put nanny-ware on its computers, I'm perfectly OK with that. The most depressing thing about the whole flap we had down here...

Why them? Why not the people that own the resources?

She don't wanna get in a contentious debate right now. Be cool. There are reasons to censor the internet. Good reasons. Just not good enough. Little kids stumbling across (or deliberately seeking) Granny getting spit-roasted or some slobbering moron worshipping Hitler and bashing gays will...

Yup. Generally, any time you grant the government power, you need to imagine what a future government of the party you hate most might do with it. The internet's full of trash that should never be spoken (or thought, but that's another argument). But I see good signs in that the major...

Just drop it, both of you. She's using "argument" in the sense of "people yelling past each other," and you're using it in the more formal sense. Both are valid. Drive on.

A comedian named Lenny Bruce got jailed for his "freedom" several times in the early 60s. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. This is a bad law that will inevitably be used to quell speech. Just saying don't rely too heavily on your constitution to protect you.

Hmm. . . could do billions of dollars worth of improvements.

He was also the first to use "sick fuck." Post #385.

Good stewardship of the public treasury is essential to a healthy country. I hope you get some.

Supporting the dictatorship there?

D-Cup, a vice-principal in an elementary school, acting as a substitute teacher that day, read the children's book I Need A New Butt to a second-grade class. He was fired. Do you approve? Here's the Goodreads summary and rating. . . Goodreads

Deliberately missed the point. As a former conservative, the part that disturbs me most about the neo-cons is that they always, always, always lie.

If he was on exercise, I would certainly hope he was shouting "bang bang" rather than firing live ammo.

Your whataboutery makes it clear that you support the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Simple-minded people like dichotomies. It saves having to think, which they find painful and terrifying.

I'm sure you could. But it would not be cost-free. You may be confident that the current oil production, refining, and distribution system developed in the way that was cheapest, considering existing infrastructure, transportation, and methods. Any non-economic factors like "Oil from...

As I understand it, most of the emissions come from burning, not from extraction. As a global matter, therefore, would it not make sense to have the largest possible amount of fossil be extracted in countries that have good environmental and industrial standards? It would make no difference to...
