Your individual opinion of Australia, name calling, appeal to group behavior, and vague "things that work everywhere" doesn't negate the fact that not voting is a form of protest (or often just a simple preference) that a hea

I hear you, but it's still not analogous. I admit to being less than precise in my prior response, specifically. A degree isn't a car, nor is it a computer. Nor is it something that you buy. You pay for the privilege to earn it. T

ID isn't a poll tax because it isn't a poll tax. Voter ID requirements are no more discriminatory than they are for air travel.

Compulsory voting is what regimes do when their government is so obviously corrupt that a strong voter turnout is the only thing left that lends an air of democracy. Most often suggested if flagging voter turnout might be seen as a possible

A 50k car almost always drives, and you don't risk someone that doesn't like you telling you that you can't get the title after you've paid.

Education is a unique product, which I'd argue warrants favorable loan terms. Ignoring the inability to declare bankruptcy. Even in non-scam programs, there's sometimes a massive amount of unknowable hazard on the path to a degree

It seems like you don't like Hyundai. What's childish is your resort to ad hominem because you disagree. It's not free labor anymore than the car was free. It's a fix of product that was defective off of the line. The ne

If security flaw is so egregious as to warrant a patch, then the patch should be considered to be a fix of a defective product and free. If the situation doesn't rise to that level of severity, then it follows that a patch isn't n

I didn't know Hyundai corporate defenders were so unrealistic and childish.

It doesn't matter whether or not you believe me. You believing me doesn't even begin to calculate into a single thought that I have. Besides that, not believing someone is not an argument. On these issues, it means that you lack r

I'm observing how this is breaking down into questioning where I live (in another post), or whether what I say happened actually happened. Should I not believe that people's post's here defending cities are from legitimate ex

Ok, so still undermining. Got it. Irrelevant babble aside that was already read and refuted with wikipedia information.

I'm not your friend, palooka. You questioning my experience and where I live isn't an argument. In liberal circles, we "believe" people. Remember? Especially those with bad experiences. You questioning me just means that

I live in a high crime area of a major city.

>There is no undermining, as everyone living in the cities realizes. I remember that "Defund the Police" is the general mantra of one side of the isle. You aren't paying attention. I stated that I was born and raised in a

Born and raised, and still living in an area that you likely wouldn't. You have no idea. To be clear, not advocating for the military on the streets. However, the people who do sympathize with that will forever increase as ineffectiven

There isn't a major city in the country in which crime isn't a complete embarrassment, objectively intolerable, and a major hazard. Every other perspective is equivocation.

We need to acknowledge that well-funded science driven by robust mission-focused systems (like pharma companies) is often a different animal than the field of science generally. In the below comments, I'm speaking about the latter. In

What's the practical difference between A Bezos editorial and an editorial board editorial from a paper that he owns? Whether I'm scolded by Bezos or Bezos's editorial board, it's still being scolded by Bezos. Or whomeve

It seems like an interesting idea. I'd be intrigued, but would quickly click away. You're forgoing the part of the sales cycle where you demonstrate what you are offering. It goes from telling me, briefly, to asking for a credit c

Aren't Americans also scolded by oligarchs, via the media that oligarchs own, when the scolding is of the type with which you agree? Isn't oligarch decision making what causes media to also pursue directions with which you agree?

Those teachers couldn't be more wrong. Though, to clarify I am referring to reading and the exposure to it. We'd need someone who is informed on the developmental process of math skill to comment on "times tables".

"Can do something" is carrying a lot of weight here. I explained how it is in practice.

That sounds sort of noble, perhaps, but that's not how it works. Ignoring the fact that there is more than enough time in childhood for what you propose, reading, and much else. Cognitive development is a process, of which language dev

Whatever the culture and resources of the parents, the buck stops at home. Gaining the ability to read begins from birth, and by the time that kids are school age they should be clamoring for books if the parents did their job. After time-w

Demanding the conflation of opinion with expert instruction is one reason why Media is in terminal decline. A large part of credibility in expertise is the ability to naturally lead. People tend to follow who reads as credible. If someone d

This should be illegal, outright. Monetary systems and their economies are innately dystopian, and that can't be changed, but given that I'm a reluctant capitalist. Simply because the other option is much worse and incomparably mo
