I live in the USA also, and my experience couldn't be more different than yours. We have our own playground in our back yard which we also allow the neighbours to use, but there are also 2 playgrounds within walking distance. Public pool is wonderful and located right beside one of those playgrounds. Soccer and other sports are free through the local school, and paid sports/groups like gymnastics and martial arts are relatively reasonably priced. School funding is decent; good facilities, good teachers, good equipment (not happy about some of the bullshit being taught, but even that's not bad compared to many other places). A bachelor's degree isn't remotely required for a decent job; local trade schools and apprenticeship programs can have a highschool graduate earning an excellent income by the time he/she is early 20s. One common experience we have is that child care is indeed insanely expensive, however cost of living is so low that the wife and I decided we might as well just stick to a single income and have one parent actually spending time with our children instead of pawning them off on strangers. And I can't imagine children being treated as "nuisances" on the regular; but maybe that's just a difference in how we raise them. All in all ... you and I may live in the same country, but we clearly live in two completely different worlds.

Wait ... so .... if I say "a bunch of people believe this misinformation" and then one of those people comes along and says "yes, I believe that this misinformation is true" .... the problem isn't that he believes something which is blatantly false, but rather that I'm somehow "fishing for a gotcha moment"? ....

I mean the irony of you talking about cognitive dissonance is just incredible :D

You're basically here saying "when left-wing people tell me that they believe misinformation, that's actually evidence that the right-wing is lying about the left believing misinformation".

You've been mind-fucked so hard that even literally seeing the evidence with your own eyes isn't enough to convince you that you're wrong. I really cannot comprehend that level of indoctrination. It's mind-boggling.

Comment Re: Reactivity (Score -1) 52

The definition of a chemical reaction is literally "a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products".

If your chemical is reacting, that it means it is becoming something different. Which means it cannot possibly be a "forever chemical". So either the name is wrong, or you're wrong about them reacting in any meaningful quantity. Either way, there's fuckery afoot and I don't like it.
