@kaia what a useless idea this is.

@realcaseyrollins
so you are admitting to the whole world that you drink out of your cup?

@Humpleupagus @cjd @Hoss that would be interesting. Love to see the next bond auction following the implementation of that. The old debt has to be constantly recycled as the instruments mature so it would seem that a default would be inevitable.

@Hoss not a bad idea. Nice if it were coupled with a spending cap of 17% of the previous years GDP.

@Hoss the world is running on debt. At the same time populations are shrinking. At some point, and probably already, it becomes an impossibility to maintain the debt levels, let alone pay them off. Then what? It's a house of cards.

@realcaseyrollins Most of what the left spews is nonsense. Since they can't use a cogent argument, they go for the "meanest" word they can find. In the end they end up dumbing down the language down to their level of vacuousness.

@Leyonhjelm @anemone @verita84 @sun

Yes, if they aren't forced to be on the receiving end, there is no reason for them to stop playing it.

They are a lot like bullies and regardless of the modern bs about how to deal with a bully, the only sure fire method to stop them, is to bloody them up.

@cjd no im not a Boomer. I just have an understanding of personal honor. And there is no heroism without it. What he did was comparable to shooting someone in the back. That has always been the act of a coward.

@cjd well I have twice been hospitalized as a result of defending another. A suicide bomber shows some balls, this guy did not.

@cjd I don't agree with this take at all. There is nothing heroic about throwing ones life away while accomplishing nothing, in the grand scheme of things. There is nothing heroic about hiding and shooting a non aggressor armed only with words because you don't like what he says. Nor is it dishonorable to turn in evil. Refusing to harbor a fugitive from legitimate justice, at great cost to oneself, because what they did was unjustifiable, is what is heroic.

@realcaseyrollins @Bernard
The falacy here is that different races of humans are comparable to different species of animals. That is simply false, we are all the same species. (If we were not, the children of mixed marriages would be sterile) it's more comperable to breeds of dogs. All are still dogs, just different types. The problems we have in society have nothing to do with what race people are, it has to do with the cultures people embrace, and some incompatibilities that result.

@Bernard @realcaseyrollins
both examples you list (mules and ligers) are sterile.
And the idea that culture is a product of genes is proven false, by many people who have been raised in a different culture and completely adopted it.
Genes produce traits and a prevelance of traits may influence culture, but it is certainly not a primary driver of culture. And many many people (and particularly their offspring) do completely assimilate.
So this statement that culture is a product of genes is bs

@Sovereign @Bernard @realcaseyrollins

There is very little evidence (just supposition) that Neanderthals were actually a different species and not a sub species.

And Africans have significantly more genetic diversity that those of European descent.

And Sub species is different than species.

There is little doubt that referring to other human beings as a different species, is "othering" and comes from deranged thinking.

@twitloyalist the current people at the CDC didn't solve Polio, measles, or meningitis.

And a modern degree doesn't mean much. Many pinheads graduate with degrees these days.

And That "experience" was completely meaningless when it came to covid which they completely botched.

they are incompetent and corrupt.

@realcaseyrollins NAW. Some cops are women and beat their husbands.

@Bernard @cjd
A big part of the problem is that the concept of liberty has been superceded with the concept of license.
Liberty requires a moral framework and the self restraing it fosters.
License is the freedom to engage in debauchery without restraint.

@Bernard @cjd

Liberty doesn't mean no sturcture or rules;society is impossible without those.
It just means that only those that are essential for interaction are made and inforced, and as far as nobody else is affected, it's nobody's business.

Liberty also means that everyone has input into the rules and there is not Rule Maker and Enforcer that dictates to everyone else.

Lastly it means that somethings are rights that can't be infringed by any rules. Such as the right to self defense

@Bernard @cjd

i don't disagree with most of your assessment, and totally agree with the last paragraph.

But whoever has the power to make rules, unless strongly constrained by something, will inevidibly abuse that power.

The first paragraph, I have reservations over.
If I choose comfort over safety, or adventure over safety. I am taking a risk. If I die, it may negatively affect people, indirectly, but is my decision to make. If I put them at risk, thats another matter.

@CDuBois The hubris of these people is so over the top, that it's almost cartoonish.

@PNS I wonder how much it cost us in food assistence to get her that fat.
