One could also just have business hours change instead of switching around the clocks. It's a bit more logical for humans to alter how they interact with time due to their needs rather than periodically switching what time represents.

The left puts forth candidates running on a "Execute all white people" stance and still can't figure out why 70% of the country matching that demographic votes against them.

Huh. I'm a *gasp* straight white male myself and I haven't heard anything like that coming from any Democratic candidates put forth. Asking someone to defend their actual stances is fair, but asking them to argue against the lies you bought into or just made up in your head is a bit much.

Speaking of not caring about law and order, how many times has Trump gone against the Constitution exactly? Maybe try taking an interest in reality sometime. Trying to solve problems in imaginary worlds tends to cause problems in the real one.

Odd though that Trump can do nothing but appeal to his fringe base (one that is actually, objectively fringe) and yet still get away with it. The real challenge is for the Democratic Party to convince people to take the same scrutinizing standards they use to judge them and apply it equally to the Republicans.

This. I've come to the conclusion that it is immoral to respect someone who argues in bad faith.

When was the last time fascism or racism was categorized as un-American? That's what I'd like to see.

OED says anticlockwise is used 0.09 times per million words. Counterclockwise is used 1 time per million words.

Yes, that will happen when most of the people in the world who speak English aren't actually English. Your single example of the researchers writing in UK English withstanding.

Any time I've read or heard the phrase spoken by Brits they prefer anticlockwise to counterclockwise. One example that quickly springs to mind is the British Global Cycling Network. I thought this was common knowledge.

And therein lies the problem. People who just want a simple, sane political system feel (correctly) that it's not something they should have to put in a lot of effort to get or maintain. But the horrifying extremists have all the energy in the world to get their nonsense through, and won't expend any energy at all to just step back a bit and consider that their policies might be hurting themselves as well.

But yes, at the bare minimum people should put in the effort to vote and not nope out after buying into the nonsense that politicians are all the same.

It's the difference between a communist state where the government is forcing their people to head in the correct direction on this and a democracy where the people are choosing the wrong one time and time again.

I'm all for democracy. That's why I'm hoping its citizens will improve enough for it to survive.

Indeed. And yet Stephen Miller is still gonna have a tremendous fit. Probably more so.

OK. But I'm pretty sure that generation could have gone to the moon 11 years after without the spousal abuse as well.

Races are not competing teams you neo-Nazi moron. Wake up.

There was a whole world war regarding this. The idiots fighting for the broken ideals you are espousing were eventually granted the death and suffering they deserved. There were lessons that most of us have taken to heart and then moved on. Why useless fools such as yourself still exist given all we know is beyond me.

The problem black people have with the statement, "It's OK to be white" is not because they don't think it's OK to be white. It's the implication that there's some big movement saying it's not OK to be white, with the demographic holding the majority of power playing the victim. It's the same mentality as neo-Nazis claiming that white people are at risk of being "replaced".

I don't see any issue with me being white myself. But I was never deluded enough to think that made me part of some team that had to be defended, or else.

One of the things you should have said is that you never believed in this country in the first place. People have the right to be Communists. Regardless of your negative views of them, regardless of whether those views are correct. An important part of democracy is allowing people to believe and act as they feel fit under the law - even in things you don't like.

You're correct. The left should have fought against this nonsense much much harder.

You can quite quickly see there's a strong correlation between solar activity and the status of our severe weather events, too - it's well known and established fact -

It is? That's funny, I've been having trouble finding anything like that. Where is the evidence for this "well known and established fact", exactly?

The best I could find on the topic was this graphic showing solar activity and global temperatures together. The two do not correlate.
