That's not the tone I got from the post to which I replied. As they put it, 'Strange advice' - as in, 'Why would I treat myself as poorly as I treat my best friend?' I took it for a joke post (hence ":^p")

Exactly this. It's not hard to understand. If you know you're right, and you're not afraid of being assaulted, stand up for yourself; or in his case, stay seated (for the wise guys). If someone told you that you'd be ent

Absolutely not. The airline made a bad situation worse by refusing to offer adequate compensation, and they made it even worse by introducing violence. This man saw that he was being wronged, and he refused to allow them to wrong him withou

Laws should evolve to serve the people. If monsters like this are allowed to say, 'But it's legal,' it should not be legal. People like Nix are much worse than some racist frat boys, but I'm reminded of this: "The w

WHO is far richer, and WHO should pay for it? Are we fine with these companies spending 1/4 of their combined profits and marketing on R & D, as J&J does? At best, this is a remarkably inefficient way to drive innovation. The l

Yes, if US politicians weren't beholden to pharmaceutical and insurance companies, it would already be a reality. It makes sense from either side of the aisle. It just doesn't make sense for the few people who stand to lose billio

". . . but trying NOT to give power to anyone will just accept that power falls to those that are ruthless and abusive to take it regardless." This is the crux, and I've never seen a good Libertarian defense against this. Som

What about people with mental health issues? Why are Republicans always in favor of cutting mental-health programs? Oh, that's right. It's because they really don't care at all about poor people. And, only schmucks believe th

I started with the VU's 3rd, and self-titled, album. Standouts from the album: Some Kind of Love, Pale Blue Eyes, I'm Set Free, After Hours. It's a much better album than Loaded, which has some great songs (Sweet Jane, I Foun
