The end has been near for a while around here. Most of the posters I respected and enjoyed are long gone, and now that the magats are all in hiding we're just shouting into the wind. I won't accept bullshit straw man arguments and baseless, self-proclaimed victories from anyone, regardless of...

Fucking weak. Guess you can take the dipshit out of the republican party, but you can't take the republican party out of the dipshit.

Cut the bullshit self-congratulation. All I could see was a straw man argument that had nothing to do with the conversation. So please enlighten me, what was your point, and how did I prove it?

The topic of discussion was the balance between socialism and capitalism. I said the US and most Western democracies were closer to the right balance 70 years ago. You launched directly to African Americans living in the south. Do you think one of the major causes of stress for African Americans...

Seriously, racism? That's pretty willfully ignorant, even for you. Nobody with any common sense could read my statement in context and jump straight to that point. I strongly suspect that every country with a higher standard of living than the USA is more socialist than the USA. I'm not...

I think there's plenty of room to argue that the evidence doesn't bear that out. I think capitalism is every bit as vulnerable to corruption as communism when the proletariat has no voice. In fact I'd argue that the outcomes are pretty close to indistinguishable. I'd also argue that not just the...

For some people, doing what's right and standing up for yourself is more important than hiding from danger. It's horrible that she was attacked, but it's good that she inflicted more damage than she received. It's the best possible outcome for that situation.

Never thought I'd see pro-capitalism memes from Luxman.

Just dumping some stuff I've picked up in the last day or 2.

This could go very very badly for American racists. A similar thing happened in some parts of Australia years ago when Aussie nazis took exception to large numbers of Asians moving to our cities. They found out very quickly that the Asians had numbers and weren't real big on being victimized and...

Btw, since I'm digging up this old thread for a chuckle, I forgot to congratulate gmase on the brilliance of the title. Bravo sir.
