Comment Re:SJW is the new Godwin (Score 0, Offtopic) 129

I love the way that SJW stings you because it's accurate. Thus you try to get rid of it by equating it to Godwin's Law and thus out of bounds for discussion. That's so SJW it hurts.

There's also the delicious irony that you compared SJWs to Nazis without consciously meaning to do so. I think the term for that is "psychological projection".

Comment Re:Cause: Horrible American diet (Score 1) 498

Buzzword bingo: Let's start!

Americans are bad. Trendy diet advice. Weird diet additive 5htp, whatever that is...author assumed everyone else knew what it was, too, because the author lives in a bubble. Doctors accused of being priests instead of scientists. Accusing scientists that trained for years of being ignorant. Unnamed high school anecdote with no link. We're done here.

Comment Re:The roots of suicide are buried in religion (Score 1) 498

You know, right, that suicide is a HUGE, HUGE SIN in Christianity? You'll burn in hell forever. Dante's Inferno included a section on all the famous suicides suffering and pleading for help.

People don't commit suicide in hopes of a better afterlife. Where'd that idea even come from? Did you make it up in an uninformed attempt to smear religion? They commit suicide because they lose hope and don't think that their lives will ever get any better. The inconvenient truth is a lot of times, they're right. It's called depressive realism, look it up.

I'm curious about what time in American history that the "other America" ever attended serious film and theater. It's a screamer. Who ever does that? The only people who attend "serious film and theater" are foo-foo coastal leftists.

I also love the Otherizing in progress. In fact, the real America is real, and YOUR side is The Other. Don't like it? There are plenty of other countries out there to choose from. We live in a borderless world.

I love how radical leftists are sober, sane people that we really need to sit down and listen to, while their counterparts on the right are crazy nutbags and it's better to overthrow democracy than allow them to take any kind of real political power. Democracy does not mean "my side wins 100% of the time".

Comment Re:screw the system (Score 1) 284

That is such backwards thinking I don't even know where to start. Ex-cons don't get hired because they spent time in prison being educated (really?!?), they don't get hired because the #1 predictor of committing more felonies is being convicted of a felony. My Dad hires people from the halfway house because he's a tightwad...Half of them steal and then run off the job, half of them have absenteeism issues and usually stop showing up after a few days or weeks, and the other half are good workers. He wouldn't even bother but he's cheap. Most of the good workers were people in for DWI or were thrown in debtors' prison. Do you know we have debtors' prisons again? Well, for men anyway.

Actually Chinese people greatly admire the Western system and know their own ways are crap. Social responsibility? Are you kidding? Whenever people see photos of a Westerner hitting a person with a car and then stopping to render aid, they are always full of admiration. Chinese don't do that crap. The system of government didn't develop in a vacuum, it's a foreign system that has committed terrible crimes to preserve its own power. If there were elections tomorrow, the Communist Party would be reduced to a minor regional player.
