Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

One has to be on guard not to become what they profess to despise. It's very tempting to sink to their level because it's hard to prevail or even hang in there when the other side does not play fair/hold to the same standards.

Regarding the rant, there is an old saying, 'If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.' The job of president comes with rules & laws.

Re: Gender and threats to "Normality" (spilit from "The challenges ahead")

Personally I feel one way (it's absurd) but legally? That's more difficult. I don't profess to know much about the law, but I suppose an adult should be free to have the name of their choice. I'd feel more strongly if it were a parent giving such a name to a child. I recall a case a while back of pa...

Re: News from Bree and other random discussions

I've just begun reading, 'The Real Middle Earth: A History of the Dark Ages that Inspired Tolkien' by Brian Bates and, from what I can tell so far, the full title describes it quite well. I like history, but I'm no historian so I can't speak from a scholarly point of view, but it is interesting. Di...

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)

Well said, but I'd say that (when it is used by the government or a political wing) is Nationalism, not patriotism. But yeah, I get the point.

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)

I watched that yesterday and it's spot on. Even before watching it I'd given 'Patriotism' thought; how often it is used as a weapon of division as only one side claims it as a banner they wish to wrap themselves in (and deny to others). Patriotism is a love for one's country and it's people. What it...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

It has long puzzled me why people believe a businessman would be the best person for president. Especially a business where there are no checks & balances and is run like a dictatorship. Such businesses generally do not do what best for the majority who are further down the chain.
