Does any one have a link to the video of joe telling hownhe wants islamic faith taught in schools. I have seen the speech, but of course there's no mainstream way to find it now since it is suppressed.

If the guy doesn't really exist I can only assume we're allowed to beat him to a bloody pulp with his own sap gloves. That is if the sap gloves can be assumed to exist at all seeing as how they only exist on his skinny soy boy arms.

@maxmaccc Fair and true. However, the aid we give Africa looks to me more to get govt money to the companies hired to give the aid. Corn, baby formula, experimental vaccines all seem to me a help to a company more than help for a group of people.

@Joehlert11 There are at risk people and the mask may help them. There are also at risk people that cannot breathe well with a mask. The woman at Trader Joes screamed at for not wearing a mask was dealing with lung cancer and the mask further reduced her lung capacity. Masks have become a sign of which side you're on, tribalism. If I see a person in a car alone driving with a mask on, I absolutely know how they will vote. The science around masks has become meaningless.

There was a heavy death count in March but decreasing sharply across the board. If Trump is IMMORTAL! he conferred it upon the rest of us, maybe be grateful. "The proportion of patients requiring intensive care significantly reduced from 6.7% in March, to 1.1% in April, and to zero in May. " Trump got VERY sick as evidence by the lack of spray tan and he was actually sitting down. I have NEVER seen him sitting down.

Penrodster replies on Oct 4, 2020:
@TheMiddleWay Cool! Actual thoughtful claim! I would disagree based on using an actual emergency to push an agenda is still pushing an agenda. Example: Guy shoots two cops with a handgun. Biden comes out with a plan to eliminate assault rifles.

Penrodster replies on Oct 3, 2020:
@TimTuolomne True enough. But: 1) The courts are granting very broad emergency powers to governors. 2) The courts have allowed the governors to determine what constitutes that emergency 3) The courts have allowed the governors to determine when that emergency is over. The courts are granting too much executive power, I would like it pulled back.

@TimTuolomne Not much to go on but I didn't like the decision that state has the power to make mandates in a (medical) emergency. So far state have been allowed to 1) make unconstitutional mandates in an emergency 2) declare the emergency themselves 3) decide when the emergency ends. If she's just reads and interprets the law (the way Roberts DOESN'T!) then great. Viva Frei had a group discussion on SCOTUS picks and I found Barnes' argument compelling in her case.

I believe you're right comparing China to Germany post WW1 but there's aspects of 1938 and 1941 too. Interesting culture that can hold all that horribleness at once.

@MosheBenIssac (Thought I'd get back weeks later) The lack of unifying charismatic leader is interesting and that might be the quasi worship of the govt/system taking the place of the person. Using their "Chinese characteristics" in place of the charismatic leader. It was fascinating to watch regular Chinese fight and argue with the authorities or bureaucrats.

@KeVince I think our position with India has improved with the CCP virus and the continuing Chinese border incursions. (Wow. "We're a better ally than China." Maybe we should just try to be good allies?) I see the reason for a base in Afghanistan based on the points you made but I just don't know it's worth it in total. I mean really: I just don't know. I would add having something near the Russian border would be good too.

As a few others have said, when speaking with Progressives or Conservatives, the best approach is to act in good faith and try to actually understand their position. Crying out "socialism" or "racism" isn't helpful for speaking with either side. Too often people like to use always-expanding strawmen...
Penrodster replies on Sep 10, 2020:
Agreed. We hold positions based on our opinions, don't act like the other person is evil or stupid. My opinion might be wrong but it's based on the best information I have now, usually assume the other person is in the same position.
