tracycoyle comments on Jan 24, 2021:

The willingness to suborn yourself to gain acceptance by the group is instinctual and for today's society, detrimental. In the past, the group protected and benefited the group members. Today, the group is likely to be outside the community and of little or no benefit to the members.

Lightman replies on Jan 25, 2021:

@tracycoyle "I, and so you state for yourself, am an individual. I can overcome the biology, the instinct driven approach to society." I don't believe that at all... Sure some people prefer the company of others etc... that is a learned behaviour IMO... and societies are created from family groups etc... that are due to needs for security and protection... but I think those behaviours are not part of biology in humans they are part of sociology. The basic insight of sociology is that human behavior is shaped by the groups to which people belong and by the social interaction that takes place within those groups. We are who we are and we behave the way we do because we happen to live in a particular society at a particular point in space and time.

I'm still baffled by Trump Derangement Syndrome.

With Biden's calls for unity, let's see how serious the Dems are. First step will be to put a muzzle on that woman. I want to see some serious changes, otherwise I'll chalk it up to more party nonsense.

@coalburned Well Progressives the world over are lapping it up and spreading the word... it needs to be critiqued.

Lightman replies on Jan 20, 2021:

It is party nonsense... did you hear his speech today.... it ooozed hypocrisy and irony. Hypocrisy in that and his party were guilty of everything they blame Trump and the Republicans for (oh and the Chumps and Deplorables). Ironic in that he obviously couldn't see that.

Lightman replies on Jan 18, 2021:

For starters Harvard Uni is doing an experiment (not Gates) and it is based on stuff from years ago, when global warming first got a mention, and the Moon thing was supposed to happen years ago... it didn't. Russia had a similar idea back in 1999... called off. They would just be low orbit reflective satellites anyway and I doubt the cost would be justified by the time they stayed in orbit or the electricity they would save.

Just seeing the images coming out from Washington now says a lot about America today. It also says a lot about the Democrats and their President. It looks more like a Communist country or a facist dictatorship than it ever has before.

Lightman replies on Jan 18, 2021:

also... I tend to agree with the quote... these people did nothing about the 2020 riots etc, but as soon as a small group breached security in the Capital they all went hyper about their lives and jobs... proving they do not care about the people... just themselves.

Lightman replies on Jan 16, 2021:

Yes he did.... I suggest you actually read his speech. Not to mention all those affidavits right? You need to stop making unfounded claims... you need an investigation and you need to prove they are lies. Pence did what he thought was right obviously Pence and Trump disagree about this... so what? That isn't illegal. People are allowed to disagree.BTW I didn't notice any chants of :hang Mike Pence" during his speech. In fact I have seen no evidence of it or it being widespread. Oh dear you say he didn't walk with them. Gee I wonder why... you think maybe his Security wouldn't let him? I can think of many reason he didn't or couldn't. What is your point? That you are so biased you cant think straight? Just what has he done against the LGBTI community that makes you so Anti-Trump? So where is all this insurrectionist speech and where has he demanded physical violence and vandalism etc?
