Oh yeah, I should have mentioned that one too! Lovely museum, and recently had a substantial remodel. Edge of Cedars is also a short drive from the Hovenweep site and Lowry Pueblo, two beautiful and well preserved sites on the old Chacoan highway into Southern Utah. A little farther away, in...

College students aren't children. And I don't care for adults who try to choose children's interests for them, either.

I know exactly what a white person is implying when they ask why I care about the subjugation of non-whites. Why the fuck wouldn't I? Why would any half-decent person not care about that? I'm not a "savior" of anyone by the way, nor would want to be. I'm just some guy, who doesn't want a...

That's not much less offensive, but it's also definitively not what you wrote.

Have you considered how much more peaceful your life would be if you did? You keep chiming in on every damn thing I write in whatever thread, demanding responses, then getting upset that those responses are honest. I'm not going to pretend I don't find it disgusting that you tried to appeal to...

That's about my read on the situation as well. The students are complaining about a lack of some very basic stuff. Like chairs. The other protestors are likewise asking for some very basoc cspital investments, if a bit more vaguely. But where do these capital investments come from? That's the...

Out of curiosity, what specifically would you order France to do in order to move forward?

That, is obvious.

This one is truly baffling to me. What "actions" are you referring to? Making posts on an internet forum? In a thread whose sole purpose is to make fun of people the OP thinks are dumb? This is just silly. Half the things you're so pissed about in this thread are about me being too empathetic...

Well, that's the lie they tell you about wealth. All money is the record of a debt; it binds in one way as much as it enables in another.

My apologies for misinterpreting your meaning, Tigers.

What kind of data would prove that "race is a proxy for socioeconomic status"?

If you are "trying to understand" Progressives, but only meet hostility, that says more about you than you think. Just what do you think they are so "intolerant" of? I can only speak for myself (though I would not really choose to call myself a Progressive, given a choice) but there really are...

Oh, yeah, for sure there is overlap. Especially where the public is concerned. I was thinking more in terms of the way the party is run and who is in charge of it, but it is obvious that most Republicans you meet on the street want a "Christian government" and an end to all forms of government...
