    January 6th hearings on Trump's failed insurrection.

    Really liking some of these sentences. Was worried they'd get the white-male-sympathizer-judge and see six months. I think the Oathkeeper trial is supposed to start today..?

    How is Putin's military draft any different from a form of slavery ?

    He's so focused on himself that he has no idea how it's possible for anything to exist before him, or for how anything could possibly be more important than what he wants. He is the Everclear 190 of narcissism.

    Snowden is now a Russian citizen

    Pretty sure we're on the same page. Your second sentence is part of that good/bad mix. The only difference is that, at the very end, you're viewing him in singular just the same, albeit the other side of the coin.

    Snowden is now a Russian citizen

    There actually is no clear answer. He did some things that were good and he did some things that were shitty. Much like every human seems to do. In order to say that he's a hero, or that he's a piece of shit, you'd have to overlook one half of him. We do this because we're stupid and lazy and...

    Snowden is now a Russian citizen

    You already had a good answer, you just glossed over it.

    Wait...so your crimes would all have victims?

    How is Putin's military draft any different from a form of slavery ?

    It's only a removal of freedom if you're a kid and you don't know about it. Otherwise, it's like jumping off a cliff and then being mad that you can't stop falling whenever you want. If you don't want the latter, then don't participate in the former. Having that choice beforehand is the exact...

    who are our REAL allies?

    The point of exposing dirty secrets is, as you mentioned, about the truth. And people do that work at great risk to themselves. Pretty honorable, yes? But, what happens when an exposing of truth is extremely elective as part of a biased agenda? Then it becomes an abuse of truth, which is the...

    How is Putin's military draft any different from a form of slavery ?

    I know it's a hard concept for those infatuated with themselves to grasp, but society wasn't created for you when you were born, you were born into a preexisting society and that society has rules which has been around long before you have and they grossly outweigh your wants and desires. If...

    Gosh it's almost as if your question wasn't genuine.

    September 24th

    Aaron's a cool dude, but coddling crazy ideas is precisely how you foster crazy ideas. There are more important things than being nice, like being right and stating truths. There's a shit ton of well documented evidence that's been reviewed by degree'd professionals, in regard to the "inside...

    How is Putin's military draft any different from a form of slavery ?

    One difference is that, before the draft, you would need to be a willing participant in society where these draft laws exist, a society with laws which you were free to get away from at any time you want. Don't forget, Russia has been committing murder/rape/torture on a national scale for seven...

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    Can't get rid of sick Americans and you can't get rid of guns so....enjoy the broken record murders.

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    We have no choice but to reinvent the wheel. There is no realistic approach to doing anything on the hardware side that will affect mass shootings. We can say that we need to do this or that, but all that was said twenty years ago and here we are, saying the same things and not doing things. It...

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    Maybe when it comes to seatbelts, but not when it comes to guns. That's something I might like to see, is for insurance to become a requirement of gun ownership.

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    I have one kid, who is a very polite person that I'm proud of, but I refuse to take my foot off the gas when it comes to reigning in my own ego. The world is better off if we think less of ourselves than we currently do.

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    Doing what you're supposed to do shouldn't be enough to inflate an ego. Reminds me of that Chris Rock bit, "people always bragging about things you're *supposed to do*...".

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    Yeah, well tell an American they shouldn't breed and they'll have ten kids just to spite you.

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    The answer is super clear, B is worse and B is a more accurate representation of Americans. The only reason a person would deny it is because it hurts their ego.

    Yesterday's Mass Shooting.

    Unless we're talking about writing code in binary, sweeping statements is all we get. What it comes down to is whether or not we like it. If I say, "republicans are dumb", you won't mention sweeping statements, even though it's totally a sweeping statement. Plus, if you agree with it, then we're...
