Strega, that makes sense. I did recently hear on NPR or a news station undecideds being interviewed. Presumably that is a tiny minority.

I think it would be both politically savvy and just plain cool to see a woman who is in the image of the iron lady, Golda Meier. There are so many sexists who perceive women as weak and easily manipulated. And…[Read more]

Jake, I don’t even think that anyone’s still pondering who to support. The ‘Undecided’ is now those who haven’t decided whether to vote or not.  If some Republicans can’t bring themselves to vote for the Democratic nominee on principle, they may simply not bother to vote at all. This is really the only dial that’s left. This has to be who she’s l…[Read more]

unapologetic, i agree with you.

Most have decided. It is the undecided that both candidates are trying to reach. Now if she humiliated him there might be a tiny percentage of his base that would have an aha moment that the king is stark fucking naked. It is the responsible republicans and independents who she might be able to reach by undressing…[Read more]

Jake said: “I think Harris is making a mistake in following tired advice to stay above the fray. Instead she should roll up her sleeves, get her hands dirty and expose the utter mess that is Trump.”

That doesn’t work, FauxNews and republicans already has  their followers convinced that Democrats are the ENEMY. And any ‘fighting back’ is just…[Read more]

If pigs had wings they’d fly.

But if atheism was a cult that promoted virulent antisemitism, subjugation of women, brainwashed its babies in cultculture so that very few would ever esacape its mindfuck virus, regulated every stinking aspect of existence, punished its victims who violated ridiculous and unreasonable norms in draconian ways and…[Read more]

No, I wrote it myself and posted it on the old TA site about 12 years ago when theists used to join. But I have spliced other posts into it and got AI to rework it was as one post. Christians are generally to afraid to have open debates on sites likes this and prefer to ‘post and run’ on FB instead. Facebook allow them to reach their intellectual maturity.

Did you write all that with AI?  It’s really good if you didn’t.

Yeah well that is only your theory Reg.

Real hard core truth is immutable. It is the church speaking ex cathedra. Truth aint beauty. Truth aint couth. Truth is ruthless. And we can only attain truth listening to the prophets and prelates who bestow their pellets. Having a direct line we must be resigned to an austere existence filled with fear…[Read more]

@Jakelafort – If you have written negatively about Trump you may want to write something in public sphere that praises him.

I have a friend who is going to finish his Masters in Philosophy at a university in the USA next spring. Yesterday I suggested to him that he should write a treatise on the merits of MAGA policies with praise for it going to…[Read more]
