Re: Atrocity of Holocaust Level Proportions
Ajax: " The wall needs to go up." Ajax, suppose the wall does indeed go up, and suppose it's of superior construction and works as designed. How much do you believe you will save in taxes and gain in income from the restricted competition, after subtracting the costs of construction and ongoing main...

Re: Atrocity of Holocaust Level Proportions
I agree with Shades that this isn't an H level problem yet, but it is the most significant moral tension I've ever personally witnessed in people who I would otherwise call good people. A right-wing friend of mine who is a Trump fanatic, and it's increasingly difficult to consider him a friend I hav...

Re: Stock Market Loves Trump or Biden?
Everything I've followed market-wise seems to slightly favor Biden even though the most direct impact to business would be raised taxes. More often then not, the point is made that who wins won't affect the market that much. The biggest risk is uncertainty that Trump would bring by failing to cede p...

Re: The 2020 Sampson Avard Golden Scepter Award
This is a huge honor, and I fear it won't be appreciated as it should. Perhaps though, one day.

Re: A more independent government
Ajax: " We're trying to secede from this county and form our own" You're not twelve, are you? There's not going to be a revolution, at least not one that expands beyond Facebook. Nobody is going to secede. Please, Ajax, let's put these childish fantasies away. Now I do sort of get it for your case. ...

Re: The criminalization of political opinion
Let me see if I follow. Ajax is worried that democracy is in danger over the threat of liberal posters on this message board holding or voicing the opinion that Trump-supporters should go to prison for supporting Trump, even though holding and voicing such an opinion has a virtually zero chance of e...

Re: DCP Explains Why He's a Mopologist (And not a Mere "Apologist")
This seems to me to make it hard to get started on Mormon theology. The being worshipped by Mormons is not what any other viewpoint would recognize as a conception of God, but only a powerful alien. exactly right. There was never an option for any of the Mopologists to become serious theologians, a...

Re: The criminalization of political opinion
"It never mattered much to you that Trump promised to lock up his political rival if elected? Why not?"
Nice. And the point is missed, of course.

Re: Should the US Supreme Court be Enlarged?
may not have to. With the new justice basically openly admitting she'll rubber stamp all of the president's most insane orders as well as go with the lie about voter fraud so the pres can win, anybody left in the middle has no choice but to go blue now and make it a landslide, so there is no questio...

Re: DCP Explains Why He's a Mopologist (And not a Mere "Apologist")
Dr. Exiled: "I view the apologists simply as criminal lawyers continually having to represent their clients Joseph Smith and Brigham Young from fraud, sexual assault, and murder charges. This is done against a backdrop of false, mythical, made up christianity where one has to believe that a murder w...
