I've given up on trying to teach anyone here anything (They gave Socrates hemlock, now this guy.)

There's no helping you. This site is now just a diversion -- like a train wreck. This site is inherently for and about raving egomaniacs, and Jim's site policies -- which amount to excluding reality and actual dialogue in favor of political/militaristic pornography -- is conducive to cognitive dissonance, which at the times your worldview is threatened leads you into psychotic breaks (on the political cognitive plane, that is, and just maybe in other realms too). Not to mention that your baseline politics is based in mythology about American demographics, science, economics, ethics etc. You spoonfeed each other in the first place, so rationality on FR is always constrained to small scope matters. (You try to make up for this by shifting rapidly to things on which you share prejudices.)

FR is a purist's dream illustration of Kant's opinion that "Most people claim to be thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." The name of the site is an Orwellian joke -- the only freedom truly here is the animal kind the uncivilized insist on, the only 'res publica' of interest is of acting in conspiracy to screw the public good for private gain, the only laws and people you truly like are the ones that permit/protect the anarchy, parasitism, and thievery you prefer, and immoralism is the true religion you espouse. FR is a mismanaged zoo, really, and I like coming here on occasion -- the sights are alternatingly horrifying and amusing, but always a reminder of what the Enlightenment was a fight against.

Best wishes.

If a troll was creative, it wouldn't be a troll.

We come here to discuss and share views.

Speak for yourself, I'm only here for the extended Natalee Holloway threads.

No! Evidently Jim knows everybody is stuck inside and has decided to let us have this one to play with for a while!

True. I just wish they would stick around long enough for us to play with them a little.

The "herd" is getting rather thin, isn't it?

Unlike most trolls, you managed to use paragraphs and punctuation.

I will commend you for that.

Not one single argument of fact to back up your rant. A true thinker uses persuasion and reason to convince others. A bunch of psycho babble does not demonstrate intelligence.

I know. The Mod Squad has left this guy's account alone but still...not a peep. Trolls used to be so tough and resilient. I guess they fear the Kitties.

We really need a better class of troll to keep us on our toes. We don't want to end up like the Dems, suffering from a terminal case of intellectual bankruptcy.
