Another pitfall of freespeech absolutism.

Now, if you want to fight this through an argument based around a State's power that'd probably be easier. The lists and things required to prohibit users from accessing xxx material as the UK was talking about, for a basic example off the top of my head.

The stereotype has a lot of truth to it

I saw the Lotus Eaters take on it Tuesday. I couldn't tell what the heck was going on at first because it's incomprehensible without first having a brain of mush.

I'm not sure this makes as much sense as it did when our country's people were basically coming from the same culture with the same set of values.

This also comes from the idea that people would use FACTS and LOGIC to determine what the best ideas, as expressed by speech, are. This is a naively optimistic idea that doesn't appear to be borne out through the course of our country's history.

I imagine the Five Eyes are watching everyone here then. Well, if you aren't carrying on like they are already then you probably ought to start.

Median IQ in US is 100 right? Remember, half of people have an IQ lower than that.

Just started playing it last week. I guess I'm getting old because I'm finding the "Hard" difficulty actually hard and I don't have the time to git gud like I used to. Actually going to have to put it down to normal next time I play.

Democratic politics self-select for demagogues and sycophants. The lack of quality in our leaders is symptomatic of our political system.

In prior days our so-called betters were meant to have a responsibility to the peasants. That was their lot as it was the lot of the peasants to toil for them.

The peasants still do, the ones that haven't yet been devoured by the cultural excesses and social decay brought by these "elites," and the elites would prefer they crawl into a corner and die.

Go to a place where the local elite gather and even there you'll hear them say things about these people that the most avowed klansman wouldn't say about blacks or Jews in a thousand years.

Or some Sulla, or Napoleon, or other man of such caliber to come from the wings and take command.

I saw the crown of France laying in the gutter, so I picked it up with my sword.

Someone who would do the above, apocryphal quote or no. An actual leader.

That's "good" news but I'm doubtful mine will do that. Apparently a year or so before I got into my line of work this same org barred Texan cities from hosting because of LGBT nonsense.

Had actual things come up that made me miss a recent one and I was glad as most of the seminars were woke nonsense.

I think the best boost would be letting Ukraine look to its own defenses. If it can't defend itself against Russia without our coin purse then so be it.
