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.

Sounds like "someone's" bitter, and I'd change your name to cloudythinker, since you apparently haven't been able to figure out why people who think along similar lines might want a home to practice it. I would suggest, if you'd like to experience and dissect a group activity in the flesh, joining Red Hat Ladies or possibly a woodworking club, although the woodworking folks might find you a bit on the girlie side.

..for a first time user he has a lot of "keywords" eh?
Perhaps a lonely dummie in from the cold with sore hands.
An obvious Hildebeast supporter with spare time, maybe a Harry Reid backer who won't face the truth. Possibly an old Carter or better yet Clinton carpet cleaner.

You forgot "Bush is a Nazi!" and "Haliburton!" and oh don't forget "Katrina = Racism!"

Odd that "a true thinker" is quite obviously devoid of original thought.

Show the courage or your convicitons and move to Cuba or North Korea where you can really live in a Leftist paradise.

Kindly site one FR thread wherein you tried to 'teach us'.

Threads are for the little people--he put one hand on his TV and another on the spaghetti strainer on his head and concentrated and tried to beam his knowledge into our brains.
