That wasn’t so hard, was it? People tripping over themselves to find a gotcha and forgetting to use a little common sense.

Well it does pledge to the republic and to the values of the republic. Which is appropriate for a republic.

That’s a really good use for bots, since new users haven’t seen the best posts and may actually enjoy discussing them. Older users can simply move on, filter from their stream if they get bored of it.

Do you mean that housing should be provided by the government? By the tax payers? And what about maintenance? Is that also provided by the taxpayers? So they would pay people to come fix up the house you live in for free? I guess I’m just not quite sure how you think it all works.

They tried that with me once, but I showed them and got a different job.

Government can throw you in jail.

Thing is, it’s sometimes very inconvenient when you are just trying to get something done, but the reality is, what are you rushing for? At that point in your life, it’s ok to take the time to raise a productive, capable, well-rounded and happy person. In fact it’s probably more important than pretty much anything else you have going on. Most of the things we rush to get back to are fleeting and temporary obligations or entertainment that don’t have any meaning or value in the bigger picture.

Let kids try things, like painting their room or cooking. It’s messy and frustrating, but very rewarding for everyone when they start to get it.

Should be fine. I’ve even had it recommended from pros. Not sure if that’s because it’s cheaper or more available or better for some reason, but anyway it should be fine.

This is not what a matriarchy would look like at all, since men are physically stronger overall. A matriarchal society would have to be based on respect or some other acknowledgement by men that women should lead, since a domineering, physical, might-makes-right society would not end up this way. Not sure why or how (some) women feel the need to physically subjugate men and rule on men’s terms, to use the rules of patriarchy to form a matriarchal society. It simply can’t work.

Why would you even say that? You honestly believe that or are you a dnc bot? People like you are why politics is so toxic.

No, actually most people aren’t blood thirsty lunatics who are willing to kill their political opposition. Most people are able to disagree with others without wanting them dead.

Yeah that’s an interesting development. I have more questions now than I did before.

You haven’t been watching very closely then. There has never been a moral high ground.

Dude, who are the ones actually shooting at people? You so worried about what might happen that you can’t see what’s going on right in front of you.

Nice, that’s what I’m talking about.

Interesting idea, because my boxer briefs support my balls in the middle, but my dress pants have one seam down the middle, so when I sit for prolonged periods I get a seam uncomfortably squishing my equipment. If instead the seam was always resting to one side or the other, I wouldn’t have that problem. To fix this, we should either have underwear that better accommodates a middle seam, or my preference would be pants with a built in pouch similar to underwear. It would accentuate the “bulge”, but we could get used to that.

Fear seems like the go-to strategy when you have the weaker candidate. During the Obama elections, the only thing Republicans could do was try to scare people into voting for them, since they knew they couldn’t beat him. The strategy turns from focusing on the strength of your own candidate to focusing on the flaws of the opposing candidate. Democrats entire strategy at this point is maximizing fear of Trump. Not sure why it’s so hard for them to get rid of Biden and put up a real candidate, but it looks like a flaw in the nomination process.

I guess it comes down to whether the laws are just or unjust, if the state that makes the laws is good or bad. When you have a clash of cultures that are not compatible with each other, or different states with incompatible ideas, there will be a winner and a loser, where the winner makes the laws and therefore determines what constitutes “terrorism”. But just because one culture won, doesn’t mean that it is just or good. It could be the good guys in charge, or just as easily the bad guys. It depends not so much on good or bad, but on military power. So how do you know when it’s the good guys in charge? If the “bad guys” of today, the “terrorists”, were in charge instead and you and I were on the other end of the power dynamic, would it be a better world? Would we be resorting to violence against citizens and against the state in order to further our political cause? Hard to say. Most of us would probably assimilate into their culture, but certainly some of us would be the new resistance, the new terrorists, killing innocents because we believed that strongly in our cause.

But this is all based on the assumption that laws and power dynamics will always exist, that they are in fact necessary. Someone will always be in charge, and others will wish they were, and will be willing to resort to violence to get the power or to break the laws. Do you envision a world where power dynamics and laws don’t exist? I can’t see it.

Yeah maybe they were contacted, I don’t recall. And yes the organizers should be available for interviews, and should also be given a chance to clarify what they stand for, what their message is and who the big backers are. That way you can get an idea of what they ACTUALLY stand for and not just what the leader says.
