Re: eris: crumedgeons, antisemites, racist, etc.
I am simply arguing against the assumptions about it which stem from mindless absorption of propaganda.
Studying to be a lawyer are you?
It is changing. The world is changing. Compare attitudes now with those of 1700.
Really? Do you honestly believe that men (except for the gay ones... and only a few of them) don't think of you as a sex object? You may want to talk of high minded attitudes... and that's all well and good. I, however, am speaking of human nature.
Two completely different critters, sweetie.
but you went and accused me of exactly that, wanting to start revolutions and such
Re-read my post then. You will discover that I never accused you of wanting to start a revolution. I merely stated the fact that a civil war (or something similar) would be required in order to get the people who are in power now out of power.
you might not fight so much with me if you would slow down and listen to what I'm saying instead of what you've already decided to expect.
Actually, I don't speak your posts aloud nor do I have a text to speech translation device, so listening is not an option here. Comprehension is and at this point I fully comprehend that you are more interested in admonishing me and preaching to the rest of us than you are at discussing the relative merits of your various positions (which seem to change slightly whenever you find one of them threatened).
You're kidding, right? You think Dubya earned something?
Yup. The Presidency.
Sweet Cheeks, propaganda works with everyone. We are drowning in it. The less intellectual the person, the easier they are to control with it.
Seen my pic on PI-Alt have you? Propaganda works with the weak minded, but only to a point. Complex subjects cannot be easily converted to the sound-bites required to change a mindset, particularly when that change also includes an alteration in lifestyle.
Second of all, the fact that an idea is doomed becuase it has never succeeded before is a non-argument.
Well, if that was my argument I might have to agree with you. My argument, however, was that causing a civil war was just too high a price to pay for a socio-political-economic plan that has failed so often in the past.
Well, technically I'm an atheist leftist (and despise Republicans); but however you want to interpret that is fine, I guess.
Well, technically that remark was tied to the previous remark about me not being the product of the public school system, not your religious or political affiliations.
Incidentally, I'm a non-religious conservative who despises liberalism. IMO, you are foolish to be an achiest and to hate people simply for belonging to a particular political party.
Everything that ever happens for the first time has never succeeded before, and there is always a first time. Logically, this point is meaningless.
What does this have to do with my witty little rhetorical comment about your friends wanting to spend time at the mall rather than with you at a commune? I seem to be debating a child. Perhaps as you grow older your skin will thicken a bit.
