The people who arrested her and sent her to Bergen Belsen were following the law. Human rights are always more important than the law. And at the ...

This is what is happening in the US now; Gestapo at work, trampling constitutional rights, completely ignoring the 4th amendment. Stand your ground? Nah, if anyone had pulled a gun against the masked terrorists kicking down the door to their apartment in the dead of the night they would have been ...

The check in my head on this is that deploying them in this manner could have the effect of slowly getting the general populace to a place where they find soldiers on their streets a normal thing.....that could open a door to a more authoritarian society, and nobody will have noticed it happening ...

Keep in mind that the National Guard and active duty military are two different things. Sending in the military for, quote, "training grounds" is not something a normal government would do. Which is what 5th was asking. They've already sent the National Guard into DC, and they did nothing of value ...

My wife is starting to get pissed off with me, I need to quietly remove myself from this echo chamber and get back to the living. Most of us are here after the wife got pissed off.... This might be an echo chamber because the same things are said over and over about certain topics, but honestly ...

I say it is leftist, as when you look at the spectrum, the Right's core values are a belief in the Individual over the group, small, unobtrusive government, and full Democracy and Capitalism. The Left believes in large governement, groups over individuals, high taxes, control over freeedom, and ...

Happy birthday, Cornuck! I'll drink a beer in your honour.

There’s no need to complicate empathy, ffs. It’s pretty clear cut and dry. You either lack empathy for others or have it. Without it you pretty much hate. or could give two shits, about your fellow human. I was under the impression empathy as being important to ole JC. I'm not a particularly emp ...

I’ve always considered “woke” as awareness over reach Originally it meant awareness, but the meaning of the word has shifted toward awareness overreach as it has switched from being praise to being an insult or a taunt. edit: Right, I see 5th already covered this. :oops: There were several pages of ...

Education is the problem in the states, IMO Illiteracy rates are about the same in Canada. I’m all for literacy, Corn. But at several points in this thread from multiple posters there has been a suggestion that intelligence is correlated with better morals, or being less prone to manipulation, or b ...

They/we [the atheists] seem to be doing just dandy regarding “morals”. Sure. Lenin. Stalin. Mao. Pol Pot. Hitler; possibly into paganism, but decidedly not Christian. What could go wrong? I disagree about Hitler. I'd say he was some sort of Christian Nationalist. He was raised Catholic and never for ...

Again, since when is anti-fascism a bad thing, ffs. What is Antifa's definition of fascism? The origin of Antifa can be traced to Italy in the 1920's. As Mussolini rose to power, Anti-fascist groups formed. They spread to Germany, which is where the name Antifa first occured as a shortening of the ...

It looks like former French president Nicolas Sarkozy will be in jail for the next five years. Poor fellow. This sort of thing must be routine in those circles, or so we hear :D Why did they single this individual out? He took bribes from Libya. Pretty good reason imho. A head of state should never ...
