but politics are interesting and stimulating!
Like, if it wasn't interesting, it wouldn't be politics. Nobody would talk about it. Lacking any controversy, HN would be a very stale place.
- 0ct4via 4y agoThere's plenty of controversy and discussion on HN without politics... it's far from stale, even with clickbait transphobic articles appearing recently.
- engineer_22 4y agoSo where do you draw the line between politics and secular humanist philosophy? I guess it's not clear from the title.....
- 0ct4via 4y agoThe title is irrelevant, only one point in the article -- teaching creationism in science classes -- is relevant to secular humanism, which decries religious dogma, and supports separation of church and state. The rest is purely loaded opines and bigotry. Speaking of which, any reason you accused me of being "hostile" by making a reasoned point, then delete it? Seems rather disingenuous...
- engineer_22 4y agoI was wrong.
- paganel 4y ago> Lacking any controversy, HN would be a very stale place There's politics and then there's calling someone "insane" and "monstrous". Honestly, I don't see any way out of that. Yes, calling each other names in the name of politics would make any web forum less stale, I can definitely agree with that, but, again, I don't think that will solve anything.
