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 709 Views
Oh, and just to add... Legolas - 21/09/2017 07:55:35 PM 612 Views

Sure, I'll bite... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 10:07:00 PM 573 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 628 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 577 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 315 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 643 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 580 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 588 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 661 Views
Socialists are taking it back aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:03:39 PM 606 Views

Sure aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 08:32:17 PM 580 Views
It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 575 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 299 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 519 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 347 Views
*shrug* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 01:05:47 PM 542 Views
I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 479 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 571 Views

Hmm. Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:52:46 PM 570 Views
Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 541 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 631 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 589 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 626 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 547 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 565 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 638 Views
I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 721 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 582 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 630 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 570 Views
If you say so. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:31:00 PM 615 Views
I can see where you're coming from... Jeordam - 21/09/2017 08:50:03 PM 629 Views
Oh, that people voted for him over Clinton, I can understand well enough. Legolas - 21/09/2017 09:02:50 PM 515 Views
Of course I'm going to defend him.. Jeordam - 21/09/2017 09:19:32 PM 553 Views
PC is about much more than not saying things to offend people random thoughts - 22/09/2017 01:26:16 PM 607 Views
It is? Like what? Legolas - 25/09/2017 06:37:01 PM 553 Views
By the by Jeordam - 25/09/2017 07:23:39 PM 536 Views

Trump lost credibility to me on the 'anti-PC' / 'pro free speech' issue aerocontrols - 26/09/2017 07:54:06 PM 514 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 257 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 504 Views

I saw a statistic somewhere in an article about the controversy... Legolas - 27/09/2017 06:47:04 PM 508 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 517 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 817 Views
