TLDR: Looks like stripped down run of the mill commenting system with things taken out or rearranged mostly with little common thread other than to make it more difficult to follow or connect, with typical buzzword woke commentary. Not sure

Okay why hasn't this revolutionized the entire UK prison system and why haven't they bought yachts and luxurious hunting cabins for all their murderers and rapists if this is both drastically cheaper and more effective? Why hasn&#

Where are your citations that the Scandinavian style of relatively luxurious prisoner treatment is more effective? If we're going by correlations there's probably no more evidence for this than the correlation with homogeneous ord

I'm sure teens and twentysomethings can feel plenty lonely. But I imagine as an example a young adult girl won't have much trouble striking up a relationship with a 50-60+ man if they really wanted to. It might be awkward and they

The ugly truth is a lot of 'benefits' of the scandanavian approach come from a highly (for now) homogenous society and an extreme reluctance to imprison or even pursue certain crimes that would be unacceptable anywhere else. Combi

common sense and observation, its relatively easier for a person overall to make connections during schooling years. Once people pair up and disperse into the workplace and especially after they start up families it becomes much more diffic

We have an interesting display of the phenomenon I've been speaking of right here. Now that the Left is in power it has dropped all pretense of the devotion to freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas that once supposedly was the

Perfect example here of the double standard. Your group demands respect for your sacred cow but have no respect for the sacred cows of others. People have also died over Allah, Buddha et al. Maybe they're just looking for a little resp

Setting aside arguments that could be considered more partisan...I think its partially mainstreaming. I'm sure an early Church father or Renaissance secularist were a bit more sophisticated in promulgating and defending their creed tha

Its a different world. Comedy will belong to those who have the bravery to make fun of today's sacred cows not yesterday's. Mad was built on parodying a Middle American mindset that largely doesn't exist anymore. Thanks in sm

Why is it particularly unfair to women? Is a man's place in the home? TBH I see a lot more grousing over men prioritizing their careers in the advice columns and popular media today while women are exalted for going into the same soul

The real story, is not that China is simply refusing waste, what nobody is really talking about is how the omnipresent dogma we've been indoctrinated with since childhood, that all this recycling is doing all this good is a flatout lie

Yup, 'professor' covers everything from adjuncts who are one step from freshly graduated grad students with the pay to match and eminent figures with entire departments under them and decades of connections.

Alright, if I say I'm a bird and demand that you greet me by fluttering your arms and hopping up and down and bobbing your head I guess you have to do it or you're harassing me. "Hormone levels count more for "biological

What do you mean 'anti-woman'? Do they say that we should get rid of woman and have an all male society or to strangle girl babies? Just curious since the phrase 'anti-woman' and 'misogynistic' seems to be loos

You're right, biology doesn't determine gender since gender is a useless subjective term based upon unquantifiable mental states, (in (some) cases their might be some neurobiological differences behind it but not in the direction

'Gender' is a constructed political term hijacked from linguistics to replace the more precise term of biological 'sex' which had been used without any problem for centuries before. The main purpose of replacing the word

NIH spends 700 million on breast cancer vs 250 million on prostate cancer. This shows a chauvinist and paternalistic attitude toward healthcare for women who are considered by the male dominated government to be children incapable of taking

If anything I think adults should be more concerned about their own privacy than kids. WGAF that Uncle Sam/Aunt Madison Ave knows that Timmy binged 10 episodes of Spongebob. Adults on the other hand have more damaging secrets like affa

If people are so concerned about the so called 'prosperous' blue states subsidizing red states, how about the actual people in the blue states subsidizing policies and people they might not actually agree with?

You're totally right. I miss the transgender bathroom promoting microaggression concerned Republicans from 50 years ago.

Asking that power be decentralized as feasible with more local levels and ultimately the individual as the default repository may be a moral exhortation like a call to communism in semantic sense but the end result if successful certainly w

I guess my area...(the 2nd biggest AM market in the country) didn't get the memo. ClearChannel or whatever its called now, not exactly a bit player, broke up a popular block of syndicated rightwing programming in favor of a slew of cra

The best answer is to decentralize and devolve power as much as feasible. That way, everybody can go their own way as much as possible. Of course some people/groups don't like that and want to impose their way of doing things ever

I think its a mix between exposure and affinity. People migrate to what they like or want to take advantage of then their mindset is reinforced by like minded people and conditions.

"The answer isn't shifting the "center" further right or distancing from AOC." Then I guess its a good thing for them that they're doing the exact opposite.

Not to mention theres still a huge rural conservative/urban liberal divide in Europe. Its practically every where you look in the world and reaches back to at least the French Revolution.

On the priest side the celibacy requirement probably attracts a certain type. Then there is the power over others angle which isn't limited to churches. The combination of factors stack on each other. On the institutional side its the
