Re: morality's half twists

One I like is "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you." Not bad, as long as everyone observes it. But there are 8.1 Billion of us now and growing so it seems unlikely that this one will ever work worth two shits in a fruit jar. We're still primates after all. :shock: There is no su...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Of course not. But he told The Great Unwashed exactly what they wanted to hear and they, like the guppies they are, bought it hook, line and sinker. And they're gonna do it again. Jesus titty fucking christ. I got to thinking about this. Does Trump do this any more than any other politician? I thin...

Re: Planet America

Not nearly enough. If the current shit is allowed to continue, it will be the ruin of our cute little civilization, followed eventually by the rest of our species. I don't see it. Climate change is the most popular existential threat these days. However, when that subject came up on these pages, I ...

Re: Planet America

I'm pretty confident I know what it means, and it is a very bad, evil thing that must be stopped. Cluster bombs are not necessarily an effective way to stop it, and even if it worked, the cost, in human terms, may be excessive. does capitalism need to be stopped? It needs to be regulated. And it is...

Re: Planet America

I'm pretty confident I know what it means, and it is a very bad, evil thing that must be stopped. It's not, it's just profoundly unrealistic and relies on humans choosing to behave in ways that they have never behaved in their history. If humans could suddenly stop being human and become communist ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

"Woke stuff". Lol. Lol all you want, but if Trump wins, that will be why. In this particular case, though, I was trying to figure out what possibly could have ruined people's lives. When all is said and done, we don't really have it very bad right now in The States. I wondered what Republ...

Re: Headlines that signal that the story will be misleading and/or stupid

Today's Headline: Biden screwed up life for young voters and it could cost him dearly (Fox News) It's nothing specific about the wording of the headline. It has the form of "The other guy did something truly awful" If it's not obvious what it was, there may be some stupid on the way. I'm n...
