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.

Put down your dictionary, O sophisticated one! You write many words which fail to impress us. The gist is that you don't like us and so you try to demean us and you fail miserably!

Um, dude, this site is an example of what the Enlightenment was FOR not against. Please go back and take Enlightenment 101 again. Clearly you failed the first time.

Psst... using psychology buzzwords doesn't help your case any. Truly, you didn't really say anything except that you don't know how to use all those superfluous nouns.

What elitist, arrogant drivel!!!

Sometime, you should step out of your liberal arts classroom and see how the real world lives.

You'll go a long way with that kind of attitude.

Try supporting conservative principles in California for a real adventure. ;-)

See ya in your next short lifecycle at FR.

That was quick. Did you use any true thinkin' or was it all reflex?


Ahaha... those lefties with their "true thinker" cracks me up. Their whole political outlook works to diminish the ability for free thought. They believe in a political system that has been tried over and over, yet fails miserably every time, with loss of freedom, and loss of life in the millions. Yet they call themselves progressive.

So, you've learned a whole bunch of new words and decided to show off by posting your diatribe. I'm not impressed.

Translation: I am a big-time liberal, and I am frustrated that I cannot convince you all to become liberals and see my distored point of view.

Lots of creative trolls over at DU. Maybe it's troolhood, but the differnce between intelligent, creative conservative trolls who can gently mock and point out the difference between what they say, and what they do, and the false logic of their conclusions, and braindead DUmmie trolls who know nothing but name calling?

Or something like that.
