Good article. Tom - 16/10/2017 08:05:48 PM 899 Views
Indeed it is a pathology of fear. LiterateDog - 17/10/2017 01:59:24 AM 818 Views
This makes me especially sad. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:47:51 PM 750 Views

Definitely a possibility. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:46:42 PM 762 Views

Wait...you said *Rubio* was trying to push a positive, hopeful message? RUBIO? Tom - 17/10/2017 08:22:40 PM 772 Views

Ok, fair enough Tom - 17/10/2017 09:15:14 PM 720 Views
Yes. I think the days of American armed intervention in Latin-America are well behind us. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:54:41 PM 738 Views
Regarding 'Make America Great Again'. Trump wasn't the first. He won't be the last. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:44:09 PM 894 Views
Do we still have WSE points? I was quite the mogul in the waning days of WoTmania. *NM* Hieshyn - 16/10/2017 11:36:00 PM 509 Views

Old dude, you make a good point, too. LiterateDog - 17/10/2017 02:01:29 AM 763 Views
Authority for Authority sake is just as Mores-less as No Respect for Authority Roland00 - 17/10/2017 06:07:15 AM 812 Views
All generations experienced different cultures with different views *NM* random thoughts - 17/10/2017 11:41:40 AM 462 Views
Agreed but there is a difference in severity between 1997 to 2017 vs 997 to 1017 *NM* Roland00 - 18/10/2017 05:52:14 AM 472 Views

I shall endeavor to combine Tom'n'Mookie's theories into one grand theory of... LiterateDog - 17/10/2017 02:15:48 AM 795 Views
So we are back in the Age of Romanticism. Western Civilization has been there before. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 12:58:04 PM 787 Views
This article agrees with your assessment The Shrike - 17/10/2017 02:30:03 PM 868 Views
I appreciate your amendment. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 03:14:19 AM 1062 Views
no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside random thoughts - 17/10/2017 11:51:08 AM 781 Views
Re: no it is just hard to see the problem from the inside - uh, yes. nossy - 17/10/2017 01:44:26 PM 794 Views
Most of us are very good at that random thoughts - 17/10/2017 08:24:50 PM 797 Views
Thanks. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:00:42 PM 711 Views
I disagree with relation to trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:17:45 PM 772 Views
A fair point. - Still, how far will you extend them? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:47:50 AM 751 Views
I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure it's a big deal either way. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 02:56:09 AM 707 Views
Nods Roland00 - 18/10/2017 03:17:17 AM 729 Views
And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:02:44 PM 904 Views
Re: And I would posit that no work of literature should have any trigger warnings. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 08:48:01 PM 785 Views
How would you propose such warnings be worded? damookster - 18/10/2017 09:21:02 PM 756 Views
Do you know a lot of people who suffer from PTSD? Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 05:26:06 AM 931 Views
Stop. Now. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:21:13 AM 710 Views
Avoidance isn't the purpose of those warnings, though. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 06:32:16 AM 749 Views
You would ruin the literature though. And discussions around the literature. The Shrike - 19/10/2017 01:21:20 PM 774 Views
That's reasonable. Ghavrel - 19/10/2017 11:58:56 PM 736 Views
Third party website? I fully support that. The Shrike - 20/10/2017 12:41:33 PM 869 Views
Peace for our time! I agree with everything you wrote here. I'm always a sucker for more studies. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:03:31 AM 434 Views
Well argument settled becuase they already exist random thoughts - 23/10/2017 01:46:55 PM 682 Views
Yeah but they don't necessarily exist for works of literature usually read at the university level The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:28:35 PM 713 Views
That is true but it could fixed if there was more demand random thoughts - 24/10/2017 10:00:21 PM 720 Views
I feel like I now need a trigger warning for trigger warnings. *NM* The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:48:47 PM 513 Views
Fuck you Tom Roland00 - 19/10/2017 07:06:47 AM 874 Views
Oh come on... Belals Girl - 19/10/2017 05:12:46 PM 769 Views
HAHAHA! This from the person who can't even write a coherent post *NM* Tom - 20/10/2017 07:10:45 PM 458 Views
Oh please damookster - 19/10/2017 02:10:11 PM 833 Views
Re: Oh please Ghavrel - 20/10/2017 12:01:02 AM 766 Views
What is your basis for arguing that "trigger warnings" are beneficial? Tom - 20/10/2017 07:19:42 PM 742 Views
Ha! Joke's on you! We don't do interrogatories in the criminal system. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:01:54 AM 782 Views
If you are not proposing altering any literature... Tom - 22/10/2017 04:28:53 PM 755 Views
I'm just gonna put this out there... Jeordam - 20/10/2017 07:24:55 PM 743 Views
Eh, I don't think that's accurate. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:04:58 AM 681 Views
An unnecessary tool.... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:14:06 PM 696 Views
Why does this reasoning apply to PTSD but not to other diseases? PTSD is a physical issue. Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 12:33:31 AM 696 Views
I would challenge that statment.... Jeordam - 24/10/2017 05:14:17 PM 887 Views
Do you actually believe those examples are valid? *NM* random thoughts - 23/10/2017 07:32:59 PM 427 Views
Forget it, mook. He's just being a silly, stupid kid. He should know better. *NM* Tom - 19/10/2017 06:17:28 AM 543 Views
Agreed. Tom - 19/10/2017 06:16:33 AM 859 Views

Why are some HUMANS wary of freedom? Roland00 - 17/10/2017 05:31:04 AM 733 Views
Maybe the victimhood thing is another kind of honor Cannoli - 17/10/2017 01:02:43 PM 793 Views
Because it's easier to absolve oneself of power sometimes. For those people anyway. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:10:41 PM 737 Views
I apologize before hand Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:11:59 AM 737 Views
Only made it through page 2. Were there separate graphs for just N. American/West European nations? The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:04:05 PM 707 Views
I haven't read all the comments, so I apologize if I'm doubling up nossy - 17/10/2017 01:06:00 PM 889 Views
Oh those echo chambers. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 01:16:40 PM 828 Views
I hate blaming things nossy - 17/10/2017 02:04:44 PM 851 Views
I'm not even sure "echo chamber" is the right phrase Tom - 17/10/2017 02:17:07 PM 857 Views
I'm not sure that is the most common choice. nossy - 17/10/2017 05:21:52 PM 861 Views
I get irritated too. But I still keep them in my news feed as well. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:49:45 PM 733 Views
Je ne regrette rien. My memes are both spicy and piquant. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2017 11:20:55 PM 423 Views
I'm of Russian extraction. I like my food bland. Garlic, dill, salt, pepper. It's enough for me. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:52:27 AM 720 Views
You know, I'd not thought about that. Ghavrel - 18/10/2017 03:07:05 AM 772 Views
I find him intriguing as a Captain. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 01:09:07 PM 721 Views
So now we are at episode 6 The Shrike - 24/10/2017 12:31:06 PM 645 Views
6 was by far the best episode of the series. *NM* Ghavrel - 24/10/2017 08:07:55 PM 441 Views
Yes The Shrike - 25/10/2017 12:50:15 PM 727 Views
But are your Memes brothy and fully of Umami? Roland00 - 18/10/2017 01:17:07 AM 676 Views
Umami is an irritating word *NM* damookster - 18/10/2017 04:59:21 PM 394 Views

Snorts / Laughs so hard that I almost lost the drink I was enjoying. *NM* Roland00 - 19/10/2017 06:00:47 AM 460 Views
I do think some of this is specifically American and to a lesser extent the rest of the Anglosphere. Legolas - 17/10/2017 06:26:33 PM 788 Views
Agreed with all your points. The Shrike - 17/10/2017 08:53:23 PM 795 Views
The Netherlands, I'm not so sure about. Legolas - 17/10/2017 11:43:54 PM 760 Views
My apologies. I see Dutch and don't think of Belgium. The Shrike - 18/10/2017 12:56:26 AM 760 Views
That's alright. This is a confusing country in many ways. Legolas - 18/10/2017 08:58:15 PM 734 Views
America and to a lesser extent the rest of the Anglosphere puts a higher valuer on liberty *NM* random thoughts - 19/10/2017 01:53:50 PM 460 Views
Yes, in some ways it does. *NM* Legolas - 19/10/2017 05:38:41 PM 465 Views

Re: Simple, true fredom is/includes the freedom to fail *NM* HyogaRott - 20/10/2017 05:45:51 PM 496 Views
Yes it is the freedom to fail Roland00 - 20/10/2017 06:36:02 PM 803 Views

damn it *NM* damookster - 20/10/2017 09:07:39 PM 399 Views
I think a lot of us are thinking about trigger warnings differently. Ghavrel - 21/10/2017 07:07:01 AM 747 Views
Maybe, maybe not... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:18:16 PM 654 Views
Glad you enjoyed it and that it provoked thought. The Shrike - 23/10/2017 02:32:57 PM 728 Views
I see this as... Jeordam - 23/10/2017 05:23:54 PM 716 Views
I kind of break them down into two types Vodalus - 22/10/2017 03:25:04 AM 793 Views
