Doesn't the USA have much higher wealth inequality than China's? If so, is that not the result of corruption? If not, so you consider the visible symptoms of it?
Maybe the problem is our lifestyles. I'm unaware of any long term studies suggesting that in a situation in which the population increases and the resources and land are fixed, that it gets cheaper for anyone wanting anything.
Agreed. The innumerable problems that coincide with fossil fuel based technology means it's a terrible idea to continue to subsidize it at taxpayer expense.
The phrase "there are 3 bad choices for president" is true, but is so hilariously reductionist. I'm not saying you, in particular, are evaluating it through this lense, just that there is a difference between the "bad" here, and it's really, really obvious.
Not even our closest cousins would tolerate a member that hoarded bananas so. No, it would be fangs, and ripping and all sorts of face-eating, and a whole bunch of other stuff we should be taking inspiration from.
Your endocrine system hasn't even let go of the controls in your brain yet. Don't let a guy who is so prone to substance abuse make important decisions. Once the night shift takes over a lot of your "airtight and very clever" philosophies will seem simple, trite and one dimensional.
One day you'll be in the shower getting ready to start your day. Nothing particularly significant will have occurred to you the day before, but the "perspective shift" happens and all of a sudden, you won't know why you ever felt the way you used to. Scary as shit, comes out of the blue, and definitely doesn't happen to us all. But it's a cool achievement to unlock and lets you respec for a conceptualization bonus.
If that does happen, I hope you remember this thread and have replay. See if you are still the same you as you were.
It solves everything. Teaching children to think critically solves everything. Critical thinking is at odds with a conservative mindset.
The natural evolution of an educated child engaging in critical thinking is away from selfishness, again: wholly at odds with conservatism, a deeply selfish movement.
Not teaching your kids that conservatives are lying about wanting to keep them safe, when they actually want to control many aspects of their lives is tantamount to knowing the forest next to your home you play in is filled with rabid animals and not telling them about it. It's bad parenting at best.
My kids gonna make her own choices. She might choose something I disagree with but it won't be because I didn't teach her about right and wrong, and what goes in to determining that.
Because Americans let movie stars and reality show con-men drive the train and idolize their asinine tomfoolery like it's a goddamn team sport. Garbage in garbage out. Why is this even a question, what the fuck. This shit is as obvious as hot pink wallpaper.
Oh no! No the third most abundant element in the universe! WTF are we gonna do? Use another metal with a large valency shell that makes it ideal as a dense storage medium for electrons? the horror
Why do folks who want to sound incredulous just sound like they're high as fuck?
That'd be your inner narrative embellishing fucking reality with filigree and lace to fit your shit-ass perspective.
Jim Jefferies said it best: "That's the problem with crazy people; they don't know they're crazy". Way to illustrate his insightful point by telling us you hear our voices in your head, dumbass.
I wonder if the origin of the word was a portmanteau of electricity and execute.
Execute to death, of course
