my response, albeit vague, makes it pretty clear I am not talking about maintaining the status quo.
The status quo doesn’t need maintenance. It maintains itself. That’s why we call it the status quo (that which is), you see. It would probably be easier, not to mention better, to strengthen the family unit. The status quo has an…[Read more]

I was describing what actual American communities look like.

So abandon the nuclear family and replace it with a bunch of unrelated people, many of them certainly dysfunctional, FOX-addicted conservative ideologs, and with no consistency in their views, and no real commitment toward bringing up the child? Sounds like a plan. For disaster and confusion.

Something is wrong with too many American “families.” Too many are headed by a single parent, who is usually a mother.
While a common statistic, that 26 of the 27 recent mass shooters came from fatherless homes, appears to be false according to Snopes, the fact remains that the tendency is for mass shooters to come from single-mother homes rather…[Read more]

Native Americans should play a major role (veto power?) in matters involving the environment. Not just in the U.S., but everywhere in the Americas where Europeans have taken power.
Agree? Disagree?

Why not? We could all just move to Palestine.
Pelestine? I would think moving us whiteys onto reservations would be more logical and just, assuming we don’t want to go back the UK, France, Spain, etc.
I’m pretty sure the environment would be managed far better.

We can’t fix everything so let’s do nothing. That’s the Republican way. It’s exactly what the rich and powerful love. The status quo.
It’s hard not to read that as, yes, they should control the stolen land, once it’s repatriated.

repatriating Native American lands? Should we return the entire land mass of the United States to Native American control? And if not…why not? Might they not manage it better?
Why wouldn’t the logic of repatriating art also apply to land?

I hope when Salman Rushdie recovers, his handlers will hold his events in Vermont, New Hampshire, or any other jurisdiction friendly to concealed carry.
You’re assuming Rushdie would have held his talk in a place that allowed guns. take it that even where concealed carry is legal, that doesn’t apply to private places.…[Read more]

You really think Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia joined NATO because Russia is NOT threat to their sovereignty.
Or maybe they joined NATO for economic reasons, the NATO nations being prosperous and strong and Russia at that time being more or less a failed state(?).

Imagine that Russia occupies or has created mutual defense agreements with Canada, Mexico, and much of the Caribbean. It also conducts military exercises with and in those nations as well as naval exercises offshore. Would we be like Putin, trying to create some sort of buffer zone by taking parts of southern Canada and Northern Mexico?
If China…[Read more]

@EncoYou didn’t answer the question, you dodged it. It’s not about when a country is backed into a corner tactically with no good choices left. It’s more about using a war crime strategically or opportunistically to win or gain advantage rather than done regretfully in order to survive.Let’s discuss a real world example:The U.S. dropped… -

Imagine how unsettling it is to have insane ideologues an ever present threat? That is a tough way to live.

Trump is well-practiced in double-speak so while he SAYS he’s all for releasing the warrant info he is probably having his attorneys cook up all sorts of reasons for him to backtrack and say “On the advice of my attorneys I will regretfully have to ask the court to put them under seal.”
Besides, if actual classified data is involved, expect the…[Read more]

Your ignorance about prostitution overflows into your ignorance about apps and websites. Some of these resources have been online for a decade or longer. There are even sites offering reviews of the girls (well, mostly girls) and the quality of their services. You can even hook up on Facebook though Snapchat is far safer.
And while…[Read more]

Your ignorance of mid-level and high-end prostitution is profound. I’m guessing you get it from TV. You are talking about street walker prostitutes probably run by pimps. That is so old school. It exists, but it isn’t what I was describing.
There are ways to connect with a person who is willing to perform sexual services in almost perfect…[Read more]

The main cause of Venezuela’s economic problems isn’t socialism, it’s capitalist interference by The United States.
What makes prices go up? Well, capitalism is right: Prices go up when there are shortages, when there isn’t enough of something to go around. It’s called the law of supply and demand. And one thing which has become…[Read more]

But that shouldn’t equate to using non-combatants as sacrificial pawns or a total callous indifference to collateral civilian casualties.
Having any rules of war is meaningless if non-combatants are disposable. If you can pick off civilians as part of some other strategic aim, then why not just bomb a school for some aim or mustard g…
