Today, 08:15 AMRasselas replied to a thread Do Not Ask What Good We Do in General Party Politics, Ideologies & PlatformYes. Hyperbole. Exagerration. You want to think that as you've moved right your opponents have moved left in equal portions, but no objective examination can demonstrate this. The positions Democrats take are mostly to preserve policies that...46 replies | 630 view(s) -
Today, 08:12 AMRasselas replied to a poll How many people are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender?, in Polls & SurveysThe purpose of a poll like this is to point out people's ignorance...sort of like asking how old is the earth and finding out that more than half of Americans like the answer "less than 20K years." Sorry if the rest of us aren't cooperative. It's...41 replies | 260 view(s)

Today, 08:03 AMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionThat's what I'm pinning my hopes on? A lack of police resources? I like patrols that examine my front yard. I'm opposed to patrols that routinely give police a view of my backyard. I'm not doing something terrible there, but I think I deserve...188 replies | 1279 view(s)

Today, 07:40 AMRasselas replied to a thread Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers in Current News & EventsMaybe we should just throw it in the 'unsubstantiated invective' round file. That gets emptied regularly to avoid cluttering up otherwise sensible debate. The fact that you can be shitty and insulting doesn't mean you have a point.222 replies | 1655 view(s)

Today, 07:37 AMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionI think there continues to be a disconnect between what you're saying and what I'm saying. In all your scenarios, the police already have suspicions are are pursuing them. I'm concerned about using this kind of surveillance to GENERATE suspicions.188 replies | 1279 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:40 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionI think there's a difference between your neighbor looking at your property from his own and a police officer doing the same thing. The neighbor's ownership of the property affords him the opportunity to look from it to his neighbors. But a...188 replies | 1279 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:33 PMBut this policy doesn't apply to churches, only to businesses that churches run--businesses that do business outside the church itself. Unless the insurance company is the church itself (which I understand is sometimes the case) then their contract...265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:29 PMRasselas replied to a thread Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers in Current News & EventsI don't think so. I don't think government should control the means of production for most things. I don't want government owning airlines or railroads or power distribution systems. I do want government to educate people well and to try to raise...222 replies | 1655 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:19 PMRasselas replied to a thread Do Not Ask What Good We Do in General Party Politics, Ideologies & PlatformI don't think that's true. Remember, Obama and Boehner were working on a 'grand compromise,' and in any case Dems have been more compromising than have Republicans. Republicans will accept no tax to cut ratio that involves an increase of more...46 replies | 630 view(s)

Yesterday, 11:00 PMRasselas replied to a thread Colin Powell Trashes Mitt Romney's Team Of Foreign Policy Advisers in Current News & EventsYou know, this is such utter crap. Republicans have gone so far to the right, they don't know what 'supercede capitalism with centralization' even means. You people think Teddy Roosevelt was a commie.222 replies | 1655 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:58 PMI agree, but I don't think their Constitutional rights are being abridged in this case. By their own lights, they won't be judged. Fortunately, they are still subject to the civil law in the US.265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:35 PMI guess you aren't Catholic, then? Why do you think you can speak on behalf of that Church? Why would you bother? Oh...right...the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and I can speak for him. Taken at its letter, Catholic dogma says that a priest...265 replies | 1675 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:29 PMRasselas replied to a thread NC teacher reportedly suspended after telling student not to criticize Obama in General Political DiscussionUmmm....no. The student has first amendment rights that extend up to the point where his speech interferes with the educational process.

Yesterday, 10:25 PMRasselas replied to a poll How many people are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender?, in Polls & SurveysKinsey said 10%, but that study has been widely criticized as likely making the number too high. Kinsey's subjects were not a random sampling of the population, but included a disproportionate number of people who broke other taboos (he surveyed...41 replies | 260 view(s)

Yesterday, 10:14 PMRasselas replied to a thread Groups Concerned Over Arming Of Domestic Drones in General Political DiscussionWhat I'm concerned about is random, regular observation of people's curtailed backyards. I'm equally concerned that private persons will be allowed to do this. I don't see that space as being the same as public space, which they may of course...188 replies | 1279 view(s)
