@ech

good thing no one did that here then. Feel free to explain your criticisms however if you want to have a productive conversation.

@realcaseyrollins

Its been around since as far back as I can remember.. seems to have sustained itself throughout history pretty well so far...

@dangillmor

@DEWLine

And as someone who knows Biden personally (an old friend of the family), and someone who has worked with quite a few senile patients professionally I stand by my opinion.

@marynelson8

@DEWLine

That is certainly true, but also moot to the point of senility. Senility is largely genetic and sadly despite Biden taking care of himself it is very evident he is struggling with senility while Trump is not (though Trump is struggling with stupidity).

I hired an Arab and the CEO of the company lost his shit... Screamed racist shit all day. I was amazed at how ok the employees were... not a single people walked from that place when it happened.

@realcaseyrollins

Most Israeli seem to care a great deal about their image as bad guys. That said it isnt everyone. In my expiernce it seemed to be those born in israel had a near 100% racist lean against palestinians... It was the israelis that migrated there in their lifetime who seem to be largely divided.

Most of them either way wont show their racism casually and will only admit it once you get close enough with them, largely because of the image they have and want to break.

@thor

@thor yea i agree with those statements. Both have had war crimes done upon them, both have commited war crimes... so the cycle is complete. Both have a reason to hate and be hated by the other.

The UN resolution was the root of the issue, for sure.

@thor The irony is those ideas seem just as popular among the israelis, just with the arabs being the ones who are treated as subhuman.

Its this very mentality on **both** sides that is the issue.

@marynelson8 It has less to do with age and more to do with senility... Biden shows obvious and visible signs of senility compared to his younger self. Even his supporters have trouble denying this.

Trump is the same idiot he has always been. While its hard to have mental decline when your as stupid as he is from the get go Trump doesnt really show signs of age based senility.

@freemo Beause it is aweasome! (I saw one, but do not have one... yet) Nathan said there are 100 (or so) on order, so they should be available for sale soon:

Dr. Prutchi shows how armatures can participate pin deep space exploration by receiving signals from spacecraft. (and compares it to watching blades of grass grow, lol.)

@georgetakei Polls dont rely on phone calls as much as people think.. But you are right polls are not the best system for data analysis.

@freemo @dashrandom I'd add that this "cycle" can also be viewed this way:
Using violence to discipline someone sets a standard. Namely that using violence to resolve conflicts is acceptable.

It might look like it works short term, since those using violence are usually stronger: Adults vs. Children, Prison guards vs. Prisoners.

So to refine the description before: The standard set is that violence to resolve conflict is fine if one is stronger than the other person.

Longer term, many of those people will go on to apply said standard. You might just not get to see much of the results individually.

@admitsWrongIfProven

Agreed. But as someone else pointed out there is far more to it than just "teaching a kid violence instead of words is ok"... we are talking about children who are emotionally very sensative and often quite scared and need the security and protection of a parent to a reasonable degree.

To have the one person you are programmed to trust and look to for safety being the one beating you is a god awful psychological expiernce for a child. It can, and usually will, break a child and give them life long distrust of their parents. This not only has massive psychological issues but it also makes the parent less effective as teaching the child.. this loss of control over the childs trust, and the subsequent lack of any positive results when trying to parent, will lead to just more hitting and abuse out of frustration.

@dashrandom

I don't care if there is a Hamas operative in that orphanage. I do not want you to carpet bomb the orphanage, just send in some troops to get the operative. Killing the orphans is genocide and I will never approve of this.

@wjmaggos Ahh ok that is very different than what I was thinking, which was an **open** forum.. where anyone can speak. I'd act to keep some semblance of order, but it would largely be open to anyone to speak.
