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 598 Views
He's right on socialism Tom - 25/09/2017 12:42:26 AM 537 Views
What about market socialism? Coops are decently popular. Ocean Spray is doing fine. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/09/2017 01:28:19 AM 299 Views
Ocean Spray is not a socialist venture in any way that I can see. Tom - 25/09/2017 01:45:44 AM 599 Views
Sure, by the original meaning of the word. Legolas - 25/09/2017 05:22:50 PM 543 Views
People misuse words all the time (cf. ironic). That's their problem. Tom - 25/09/2017 07:25:55 PM 555 Views
I'm making the argument... Legolas - 26/09/2017 07:12:56 PM 627 Views

It's an interesting idea. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 02:19:19 AM 537 Views
Sounds like Singapore to me. *NM* aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 02:33:06 AM 287 Views
See, I wouldn't call Singapore democratic. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 05:03:14 AM 484 Views
Did you see their hilarious presidential 'election' recently? *NM* Legolas - 27/09/2017 07:55:15 AM 334 Views

I think that's a weakness of your spectrum argument, though. Ghavrel - 27/09/2017 11:06:16 PM 451 Views
the non military is the further stretch random thoughts - 27/09/2017 02:16:03 PM 540 Views

Almost missed this reply, hiding down here. aerocontrols - 27/09/2017 09:40:41 PM 500 Views
Uh. You say no, but what follows makes it sound like yes? Legolas - 27/09/2017 11:42:11 PM 588 Views
You're again making an idiotic argument Tom - 27/09/2017 07:25:36 PM 558 Views
Which you then did your best to prove? Thank you for that, by the way. Legolas - 27/09/2017 09:13:28 PM 595 Views
No, socialist is socialist. What is so hard about that? Tom - 28/09/2017 05:05:27 AM 511 Views

I made the mistake of bothering to try reading a New York Times article Tom - 29/09/2017 12:38:07 AM 690 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 547 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 596 Views
That's absolutely not what he's doing Tom - 22/09/2017 09:54:34 PM 540 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 244 Views
Let's hold the phone here for a moment.... Jeordam - 26/09/2017 09:07:07 PM 459 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 490 Views
Makes sense. But if 80 percent of your players is taking the other position... Legolas - 28/09/2017 06:43:23 PM 785 Views
