If you fear that racism will spread to all conservatives than you really need to engage with them in respectful dialogue to test your hypothesis. For example, you might be surprised to learn that the Democratic party was the party of slaver

Yes, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter... but I believe you are wrong when you make a very broad statement saying, 'usually have the same goals as "we" do: peace, respect, safety, prosperity.&#x27

Firstly I sympathise with your friend. This is a rotten situation to allow yourself to be in... I know that sounds a little cruel but your friend has the ability to exercise his agency. We are all captains of our destiny... which does mean

Calling people out publicly is potentially dangerous to your future career. In this context, if you are going to attack someone else's career you must annihilate it completely and preferably in secret. In this case the doxing has not

Hi dragonwriter, no worries about the mis-post I completely understand. Thank you for taking the time to post a reply. I've read the article (although I don't put much weight in CNN's reporting) so I went straight to the cop

From what I've read of the report, the 51% were all 100% legal immigrants. Therefore I'm wondering what exactly is the news story here? Would the Wall Street Journal really lead with a headline "Legal Immigrants Founded 51%

Hi philipov... I would be really interested to hear your proposed solution.

Hi biofox, there are other solutions... for example changing from a democracy to a republic. As an aside, I think that most people don't understand these concepts because the word 'democracy' is used so much in political rhet

I echo your sentiment, however after being called into jury service in New Zealand, I was dismayed to discover first hand that the probability of a fair hearing in court is based on the degree to which you can afford a defence. My perspecti

The only thing that matters now is Trump's approval in the next election. If he keeps his voter base happy and is seen to be actually doing more things right than wrong he may even pick up more votes. I honestly can't think of one

Hello ginko I respectfully disagree with your statement. European Liberalism is not equivalent to American Libertarianism. Granted there is some overlap, but the parts that do not overlap make all the difference. With regards to the overla

Having lived in the UK for 8 years now. I would say this sentiment is better put as 'be sensible'. The knock on effect from being sensible is 'it just isn't done'.

You cannot have a conversation with someone who doesn't acknowledge your right to have a divergent view. This sows the seeds of fascism and this is an existential threat to West. All other political and bulling noise aside, this to me

The right to free speech is fundamental to a better society. Ideally we have a free market of ideas fostered by tolerance and respect for different points views. Not being willing to expose yourself to different points of view creates igno

While I understand where you are coming from please consider it through the lens of a re-negotiation opportunity. Personally I don't think NATO will be dismantled by Trump as it is a keystone to US foreign influence and power and I bel
