That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom Send a noteboard - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM

He's forcing people to take positions and boxing them into corners to then extract concessions. Whether or not it works will be seen, but it's far different than doing nothing.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

You said something similar a while back. And really, I just don't get it. Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:52:31 PM 784 Views
Oh, and just to add... Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:55:35 PM 646 Views

Sure, I'll bite... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 10:07:00 PM 605 Views
In the immortal words of Dennis Leary "We got the bombs" Who cares if Iran is the adult in the room? Cannoli - 22/09/2017 11:22:43 PM 671 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 615 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 336 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 686 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 626 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 627 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 713 Views
Socialists are taking it back aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:03:39 PM 641 Views

Sure aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:32:17 PM 615 Views
It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 672 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 317 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 552 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 368 Views
*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 576 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 515 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 600 Views

Hmm. Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:52:46 PM 609 Views
Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 593 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 687 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 632 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 662 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 589 Views
I don't get it. I mean I get it but I don't get it. AgentApple - 26/09/2017 08:34:25 PM 607 Views
As if there wasn't enough getting and not getting in this thread already. Pick one! Legolas - 27/09/2017 12:13:13 AM 675 Views
I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 762 Views
It was a brilliant speech all around, and you don't understand Trump based on those comments. Tom - 21/09/2017 08:32:29 PM 622 Views
He's doing jack shit. He tells people everything they want to hear, then blames Congress... Legolas - 21/09/2017 08:57:36 PM 665 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 605 Views
If you say so. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 653 Views
I can see where you're coming from... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 08:50:03 PM 659 Views
Oh, that people voted for him over Clinton, I can understand well enough. Legolas - 21/09/2017 09:02:50 PM 546 Views
Of course I'm going to defend him.. Jeordam - 21/09/2017 09:19:32 PM 600 Views
PC is about much more than not saying things to offend people random thoughts - 22/09/2017 01:26:16 PM 651 Views
It is? Like what? Legolas - 25/09/2017 06:37:01 PM 588 Views
By the by Jeordam - 25/09/2017 07:23:39 PM 577 Views

Trump lost credibility to me on the 'anti-PC' / 'pro free speech' issue aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 07:54:06 PM 550 Views
Yes, the "snowflake" accusation is rather hard to take seriously from people upset about the flag. *NM* Ghavrel - 26/09/2017 08:24:29 PM 278 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 554 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 546 Views
80% of the players may be black but a similar percentage of the fans are white random thoughts - 28/09/2017 12:59:57 PM 555 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 852 Views
Don't confuse PC with social norms random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:21:49 PM 519 Views
