Hmmm ... If it snows are the roads plowed? Are you a “Commercial Driver”? Do you hold a CDL License? Do you drive a truck? If not then those Snow Plows, those Roads, AREN’T There for YOU. That Road and Those Plows are so Commerce can happen ... not so YOU can go see grandma ... or even get to work ... YOU are simply an incidental ... You’re simply another “Free Rider” using ... and expecting a benefit ... from something YOU AREN’T PAYING FOR ... So ... yeah ... YOU Benefit for FREE ... Commerce is agreeing to PAY for YOUR USE ... That’s still Commerce/Capitalism. Think on that for a bit ...

@MADcHATTER Hatter ... do you know why “Hatters” were Mad? There actually is a reason ... As to having made it without becoming a Leftist ... Kudos. There are, indeed some people who seem to be immune to the disease ... Mostly I find that they are people who tend to like to figure things out for themselves, people who have accidentally ... or sometimes through their parents or friends ... found themselves in possession of the ability to Think Critically. However it is that you arrived at this Tea Party ... keep in mind that the Red Queen does indeed exist, the Dormouse is usually right, and the Rabbit Hole makes for a long and strange journey. Why’d you modify it to cHATTER? Not as good as Hatter IMHO

Bay0Wulf replies on Mar 17, 2019:
@InternetDorkWeb Kudos on your degree in a useful Discipline Priests tend to be “conservative” on very few points. Mostly they are not ... witness the current Pope ... The Frankfurt School Conspiracy ... I don’t really think that what we’re talking about is what typically can be called a “conspiracy” ... maybe in the early stages ... but the infection of Academia thus Society thus Schools thus the Resulting Generations with Leftist / Socialist Thought is almost a self generating disease. Kruschev said long ago that we would succumb and, though his time line was shorter, he seems to have been effectively correct. The alleged goals of Socialism “sound” so “good” so “reasonable” which is why so many people are ... like moths ... attracted to its flame. Who doesn’t like the nebulous concept of “Fair” ... of “Equal” ... of Wurld Peaz ... of a Coke and a Smile ... of teaching the World to Sing in “Perfect Harmony”? This is what the Left seems to be offering using the dogma of Socialism ... Except that’s not what they provide ... “Equal” to them is like an equation where “Equal” is 1 and “Equal Rights for ...” is 1+a ... Equal Rights for ... Blacks, for Women, for LGBTQLMNOP, for the Unproductive ... these are NOT “Equal Rights” they are “Special Rights” and they’re not something new you can see them mirrored in every place where Socialism exists and even more so, you can see them everyplace that Communism exists. Socialism and Communism are simply a different form of Power over the masses. They wrest Power, Prestige, Production (Money/Wealth) from those that seem to have it and take it onto THEMSELVES (whatever “Government” structure they create) and DO NOT “Share” that Power except the few, minimal crumbs they absolutely must. The Left wraps the kind words of “Hope and Change” around the head of a 10 Pound Sledge Hammer ... the Iron Fist inside the Velvet Glove ... Does Academia promote the Left? Yes. Is it a Conspiracy? Not really. Not the way one normally thinks of a conspiracy anyway ... the Left Conspires and their conspiracies are easily seen everywhere but that does not mean the bulk of the effected / infected are part of those conspiracies ... they are as Lenin referred to them, the “useful idiots” (might not have been Lenin) the bulk of them are “herd animals” who have no more idea as to where they are going than do Sheep, Cattle, Lemmings ... they simply are following the “Leader”. Does Academia espouse Leftist junk? Of course they do. It’s what they were taught ... it’s what they learned ... they no more question it’s validity than a blind person questions the color red ... they haven’t the tools to question it never mind dispute it. As to...

@InternetDorkWeb You need to rework your “razor’s” edge ... #1.

False - Conservatives encourage others to be able to fulfill their responsibilities which includes financially. #3. True ...

Teaching became prosteletizing, propagandizing - Classes requiring a modicum of Critical Thinking were eliminated or transformed in such a way that Logic and Critical Thought could no longer be brought to bear (like that CORE Math ... where illogic is valid by consensus)

As to the use of the word “exterminate” ...

Bay0Wulf replies on Mar 11, 2019:
@sscott_9 of course I get what you are saying ... or perhaps not ... The University upped the wages of the lower paid employees to a “living wage” ... like if I worked my way up from a low wage over the years to reach $20 but suddenly the “living wage” is raised to $15 ... my 10 more years and experience HAS to be worth MORE than the $5 difference ... The University May call this an “unintended consequence” but, if so, they’re outright stupidity is what’s on display here. Any guy from maintenance could’ve told them that in a heartbeat. Again ... “Social Justice” is a fake construct ... is a contradictory phrase ... there CAN BE NO “Social Justice” because EVERY Time you try to bring “Justice” to one subset of anything, by definition, you are bringing “Injustice” to another subset ... Like “Equal Rights” as thrown around by every SJW ... ISN’T “Equal” ... it’s “Special” ... which is to say it creates a subset that DOESN’T GET That “New” Equal Right ...

Bay0Wulf replies on Mar 7, 2019:
@jnaatjes Correct. As it stands here in the USA, marriages performed by the “Church” are first required to meet Government Civil Union Status ... ie. “Marriage Licenses” ... I simply disconnect the concept of the Religious Sacrament of “Marriage” from automatically being a Government Sanctioned “Civil Union” and vice versa. I suppose a “Church”could “Marry” anything to anything (in some sects, Nuns are “Brides” of Christ) ... simply being “Married” should not connote Government Sanction of that Union. Similarly, the Government can Sanction the Union of a Homosexual Couple but it does not mean that the “Church” is required to recognize it or “Sanctify” it.

@Mike9465 Uh ... no. There are laws that required so as to have a line where on one side it is “good” and, on the other side it is “bad”. Laws are a reference point ... a base line ... a tool set to determine wherein an Action is to be considered “Good” or “Bad”. What one person or group of people might think are obvious and logical “Legal Code” does not mean that another group would see it to be either obvious or logical. The Laws of the Ten Commandments (Actually 7 of merit) which were a mere shadow of the Laws inscribed by Hammurabi and later upgraded by Nebuchadnezzar which were a mere echo of Laws inscribed some 1000 years prior to them are examples of Reference Points of Civil Legal Requirements. Surprisingly ... or not ... Laws that were inscribed some 3500 years ago still “ring true” and, to a fairly large extent, found in Our US Legal Code ... as well as most other “Enlightened Societies and Governments”. Today, the US Legal Code is so mired in nonsensical “Laws”, Outdated Laws and “Laws” that were created with a skewed agenda that determining where One Law, or Many do not, in fact, contradict another that “having a Lawyer” is required for the simplest of questions ... worse, even Lawyers of Good Standing often themselves have no idea what the “Law” is and which “Law” is Germane.

@jnaatjes If the result is expected to be recognized by the government either before or after the event as a Legal Civil Union, the government should be involved to the extent of its best interests. Such as the question of genetic feasibility in terms of close relatives where genetic offspring are likely to faults. Then yes. There should also be some overarching limits so somebody doesn’t simply “create” a “church” where people can “marry” weird stuff like “the ocean”, their pet dog, a cow or similar oddities and expect a Legal Civil Union to result.
