I don't think the USA has solved this difficult question: "What do you do when the majority of people no longer believe in/support Democracy?" We'll see how it unfolds, but I don't have faith.

Non-partisan courts did and found nothing. At a certain point, one must just have faith in the system. Also the sources 'weren't on the same side as the party allegedly rigging the elections,' i.e. Republican officials in Geo

A question that seems pointless to me unless you believe you have some sort of innate fundamental morality, which history has shown usually isn't the case for people. Your upbringing and circumstances would have been totally different,

It took 26 years to remove a simple additive from automotive gasoline in the US. Talk about slow walking a change. Under a similar bureaucracy, it'll probably take a 100 years plus to phase ICE cars entirely

And? Imagine being a Putin bootlicker and then still getting thrown in prison because of a suspicious phone call. I guess these people really do want to go back to the Soviet Era, eh?

by pastor_bob 5y ago
Your sentiment is normally valid, but most Russians supposedly literally don't believe they're at war because of the content Putin feeds them. They think it's a small operation in the Donbas. It has nothing to do with being &

Russians have been carpet bombing innocent Syrians for years. Even using thermobarbic bombs against them, with no sanctioning from the West. Obviously the middle east is of little consequence in these discussions for all parties.

I really don't understand the defense against censorship of state controlled propaganda news from people like Glenn Greenwald. That idea that it operates in the normal realm of media is extremely questionable. This is not a slippery sl

A degree in Communications or a host of other soft majors is basically worthless. Arguable that 4 years would be better spent elsewhere, not to mention the money that goes into faculty salaries. A liberal arts degree can be worth it, but on

Sounds like a "No True Capitalism" defense to me. Capitalism, like all other systems, can't exist in a vacuum. You must consider the human factor and the likelihoods it will produce.
