Gotta go with you on this one, Henry. You don't strike me as the silver-spoon, lace doily and and silk serviette type. :lol: More like beef, beans and beer.
I'd prefer her to live a life of self-direction and -control, an autonomous life. Folks like yourself work hard to promote licentiousness and then demand 'privileged' folks pay the bills.
Go, Henry go.

Ironically, it's the liberals with their "nanny state" who want to see us all as permanent infants, incapable of taking responsibility for ourselves, and in need of others ponying up to bail us out.

To them I would say, "Time to grow up and move out of your parents' basement."

"nanny state"

Lots of words get spewed up by commies...'equality' is one...but it's never about raising every one up...always, it's about pulling every one down...never is it about self-direction and -responsibility...always, it's about being directed and being responsible to the politburo.

Read 'Harrison Bergeron' for a taste of commie utopia.

Orwell was another one who had some real insight on where commies end up. Of course, he'd played footsy with them himself, on occasion...

You don't seem to know anything about anything, John. 'Equality' is not the same as 'equal rights'. Your avatar is very apt, and your choice of 'friends' is telling. Why are you even on here? And of course, anyone who has empathy, a social conscience, and a sense of fairness must be a 'commie', because communist regimes had those attributes in spades. :roll: You are such a moronic tossbucket. No wonder people hate yanks so much. I don't know if it's something in your water or what, but you seem to be fucked in the head to a person.

And you're a dumb, on the dole, whore.

Yeah, Orwell saw what commies are even as he indulged in boko-maru with them.

Always ready with a witty and hilarious come-back. Earlier you said I was a prostitute. That's a profession isn't it? Tell me. What's the hourly rate you pay? Fifty? A hundred?
Those qualities you denigrate as 'commie' and 'liberal' (you can't seem to make up your mind which) are what are generally considered to be 'human' qualities (although not exclusively human). You appear to have very little humanity left in you. Did a Russian cut your dick off with a blunt, rusty knife when you were young?

What some Americans don't seem to understand is that those are not particularly dirty words in a great deal of the rest of the World. Not everyone outside the USA is riddled with Communist paranoia and "liberal" is considered to be good by many people.

...I never talk about 'liberals'.

I talk (badly) about commies and communitarians.

Americans don't even know what liberal means. Most of them are incapable of using a dictionary, even an online one.

Commies and the like love to toss out 'privilege' and 'inequity' and 'rights...part of the playbook.

So: please, enlighten me...how am I 'privileged'?

A topic raised by a conservative Christian, endorsed by conservative Christians.

Argued against by progressive secularists.

It would be good to have a philosophy board where theists were automatically banned. There'd be no more of these pointless degrading topics driven by theistic ideology, which is a terrible distraction.
