Listen to yourself man. By closing the door to debate you open up the floor to hostility. Some conservatives have demented ideas, but that doesn’t mean ALL do. If we are going to heal our divisions it’s going to take more than each side cal

That’s a smear against conservatives and blatantly untrue. There are activist organizations on both sides calling for violence and both should be condemned.

Without objective data to back it up, claims on either side would be hearsay, no? For someone convinced they are at a disadvantage, how can you convince them that the system is fair?

Sorry I left for a few minutes. I don’t agree with Kay Cole James on any issue socially. My read on the situation though is that, by not recommending a viable alternative. I read that as Googlers saying they are not open to have conservativ

I'd be much more worried about people lacking jobs. Having a job makes one more attractive and would make one likelier to find a partner. I'm curious to see how China manages a gender imbalance.

Well this gets into the domain of realpolitiks. As I understand it the platform was not to reinvigorate coal but rather remove targeted regulation that accelerated the collapse of those communities especially in West Virginia and buy them t

Thinking all conservatives are against green energy is a smear against conservatives. The debate is much more nuanced and to trivialize a complex issue conservatives generally think that the solution to the problem is through innovation and

They passed low income metro cards last year for this reason. There is no great option here, there needs to be a new tax to raise money for new infrastructure and congestion pricing is the best of the worst options. It gives the city the fl

Real question: If I start a business and people love my product so much so that I become a billionaire. Am I a bad person?

What do you think about India electrifying 300M more people just this year? From the latest climate change report India had a +6.3% change in their emissions in 2018 and projected to increase a lot more before it gets better. I'm mixed

I'm not, but its one of the things I track. A mixture of unemployment, yield curve us2y10y spread, deal activity are all things I look for to signal the end of a cycle. Tomorrow's job report will be interesting, but given all the

Given the projected IPOs next year (Lyft, Uber, AirBnB) I think this is a little pre-mature. I think the bull market has another year in it. That being said I'm shifting some of my assets out of the market.

The people in coal country are certainly voting Republican because their number one concern is the wall... Seriously the narrow world view of some people is staggering. You're being no better than the racists you claim to fight by prej

Part of me hopes there's some strange conspiracy theory like the US is sitting on some amazing new battery tech, but won't release it until the trade spat with China is over with. I know I sound like a loon, but a revolutionary ne

The funny thing is is that some of your friends or neighbors are probably Republicans and they are afraid to come out because of the name calling and shaming they would hear from the likes of you. This is probably the most intolerant commen

You've made your point known that you believe all republicans are traitors. Can I ask you if you have any Republican friends in your immediate friend circle? Have you asked them what their concerns are and why they feel the way they do

As with any article here about someone choosing to uproot their life to move from a city in a blue state to a city in a red state. All I ask is to keep an open mind and talk to people in the state. Find out what their concerns are and why t

What does this contribute exactly to conversation about this topic? Most people when evaluating success of a country take into account a slurry of values such as GDP, Life Expectancy, GDP Per Capita (more important than GDP IMO), Unemployme

Care to elaborate? The congregation I grew up in did wonders in the community. The mission downtown helped the homeless gain work skills to get on their feet and the church was the primary institution organizing coat drives, food pantries,

Can you please elaborate on how eliminating identifying info from a job resume is introducing the degenerate nature of communism. If I understand correctly Finland is trying this in an effort for the job searching process to be as fair as p

I know you may not think so, but its important to realize that your response is highly biased. Many people see this differently and personally I think the best solution is for communities to realize this is an issue and volunteer time and m

I wish I had more than one vote to give you sir, but alas, that is not how democracy works. People need to listen to one anothers concerns and avoid demonizing entire groups of people from the heinous acts of a few.

That's my primary use case for reddit. I joined more than 10 years ago during the big digg migration. I think there are many wonderful communities in the space and it is something to cherish. But when r/news is a default subreddit
