So... aerocontrols Send a noteboard - 27/09/2017 02:39:01 PM

When the overwhelming majority of a society finds something offensive, like waving a Nazi, then that is a social norm. When a small group decides widely accepted behavior is suddenly offensive and anyone who doesn't agree is attacked then that is PC.

The entire PC movement can be seen as an attempt to convince society to normalize beliefs that are currently out of the norm? Makes way more sense when I think about it like that.

Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.

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 782 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 729 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 386 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 803 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 740 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 742 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 838 Views

It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 784 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 378 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 665 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 426 Views

I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 625 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 713 Views

Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 712 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 817 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 765 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 792 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 703 Views

I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 884 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 750 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 788 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 720 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 341 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 673 Views
