Free Bernardo NOW! He's being persecuted because he's a straight White man!

Bingo. Far past time to wean the Democrats off group-based grievance. That'll be a crazy heavy lift, but it's essential. The structural problems have been fixed, and as the recent election shows, the model needs to change from "fix the system" to "deal with individual offenders."

Can you recommend a punishment for "Israel?"

Would that be like people who don't "choose" to be gay? Or is that different?

Nice! With a "but," and that would be "but it concerns me that they apparently only solicited the support of girls. That just continues the group-based us-vs.-them dynamic. Wouldn't it be better if some of the boys promised anybody who harassed them a pounding?"

Same guy who said "When you come to a fork in the road, take it?"

Yep, nobody's ever been as hard-done-by as White Christian men.

Well, it's understandable. After the years and years of suffering White Christian men have suffered in America, there's bound to be some resentment.

Hell, I think we should tax ONLY corporations. Simplify collection and reduce costs. And the tiny fraction of the population who will deliberately avoid doing any business with corporations to avoid tax. . . well, that's their choice. Go all Jeremiah Johnson and shit. Won't be enough of 'em...

OK, I did.

If ya gotta pay it or the government puts you in jail. . . it's a tax.

You mean. . . it depended largely upon the personalities of the staff members and the quality of the leadership? But. . . but. . . that's really hard to fit on a protest sign!

Yeah, we specialize in creating, and destroying, wordgames that try to bend things. For example, "Average global temperatures have risen by 1.5 degrees Celsius since 1966" is a fact (if true, I have no idea). "If we don't tax the piss out of gasoline, we're all gonna die!" is a "truth." The...

They're all right. And they're all wrong. There is no all-inclusive, one-size-fits-all answer, and anybody who says there is is selling something.

Thank you. Any more statements of the obvious you want to bless us with?

"CO2 is necessary for all life" is a cheap, facile avoidance of the question. Vitamin A is also necessary for life, and if you overdose on it, it'll kill ya. Water is necessary for all life. But try breathing it. And I didn't say pollution isn't different from climate change. I said that...

I'm sceptical about that.

Again I ask, has she pledged some of her wealth to environmental R&D? I ask because I don't know. Nor much care, frankly. She's one not-particularly-well-informed amateur who has become popular. I don't care much for such, generally.

Surely you agree many would. And obviously, she's partially right about climate change. If you pump greenhouse gases into a closed system, they will retain more solar heat. That's a fact. Whether or not this constitutes a "crisis" is a matter of opinion. Personally, I support anti-pollution...

I understand. It takes effort to speak clearly, factually, and specifically. Far easier to say "She's a cunt" and press on.
