    Political Correctness

    No, you claimed that political correctness "ruins free speech": I have explained to you why that is incorrect. Among other reasons, because free speech is about the government. Again- you posted two links to articles about white privilege, including the wikipedia page for it for some...

    Political Correctness

    So basically, you concede both points, but still want it known that you're still kind of curmudgeony about it.

    Political Correctness

    No it is not. Biden: Romney’s Wall Street will ‘put y’all back in chains’ – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs No, it's generally sufficiently obvious that nobody actually thinks none of X is motivated by racism. The "you can't prove nothing" defense from Republicans is just silly IMO. We...

    Political Correctness

    You still aren't getting it. I am arguing that free speech means the government lets society say what it pleases. You are arguing that free speech means that society can't say what it pleases if saying it interferes with the ability of individuals to say what they please. My stance is...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    Can you give an example of a specific policy?

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    No, I didn't say anything remotely like that. I said that they are caused by poverty, inequality, disempowerment, etc. I'm the one advocating for fixing those problems instead of just sitting around bickering idiotically about what race we should blame. Who cares who we blame? Why does that...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    The reality is, you have no clue what you're talking about. "Race baiter instigated riots"? WTF dude? Stop watching Fox. It is making you stupid and racist. You don't appear to have any clue what the riots were about at all. Have you not watched or read any coverage of them whatsoever from...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    Ok, so why were you denying that they use code if you are in fact fully aware that they do? What drives things like riots is economic inequality, brutal policing, racial discrimination and so on. Guess what- in times in our history when white areas have been as poor, and inequality has been as...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    So you're contending that when Republicans talk about "urban culture" leading to riots and whatnot, they mean the "culture of towns and cities"? Like, you're able to say that with a straight face?

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    I mean, the alternative to code is that they just literally babble nonsensical gibberish an awful lot... It really isn't plausible that they aren't doing it on purpose. The frequency with which they use racially-charged phrases to describe minorities, for example, compared to how often they...

    Orthodox On Climate Science [W: 138]

    Right. That's what I pointed out. So it doesn't really matter if you accept climate science or you believe in peak oil. Either way, what we need to do is the same- get off fossil fuels. Both peak oil and AGW describe strong reasons to get off fossil fuels as soon as possible and both explain...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    Maybe you're not totally following what I'm saying on that. I am not saying that the right is saying "we need a 100% secure border." I'm saying that they're dumbing it down so far that they're just saying "we need a secure border" without actually defining what that means. By not announcing...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    Yeah, it doesn't work very well, but they don't have a lot of good options, so a lot of them have been going down that path. Calling Obama the "food stamp president" then pretending it is because they're mad about food stamps while everybody knows they're just saying black people = food stamps...

    The Conservative Media War Over Donald Trump

    What has the GOP so flustered about Trump is not actually that he's saying idiotic and offensive things per se. Normally, if a candidate says an idiotic or offensive thing, the others can score points off bashing them. If Trump came out saying all the stuff he said about Hispanics about...

    Supreme Courts Rulings, Are They Truly The Will of the People?

    One of the main goals of the Constitution is to draw boundaries around what the majority can do. We are not an absolute democracy, we are a constitutional democracy with limited government. If the people want to do something through the federal government that isn't covered by a power the...
