Re: Missionary Killed on Remote Island: Discuss?
The sad aspect is that the diner people's views suggest that the Sentinelese will never be left in peace and eventually they and their culture will be annihilated by mindless missionaries spreading their pathogens. theologically the diner crowd leans towards predestinationism. i suggested that give...

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
Am I the only person who thinks this is all getting weird? People are frightened of saying what they really feel Incase they get judged? As an English man, and born on the 23 April. Which is Saint Georges day, this day is not celebrated anymore! Reason why? Because it is associated with racism. Mad...

Re: Missionary Killed on Remote Island: Discuss?
For a moment I thought you were talking about eating people alive. lol i guess the way I wrote it was ambiguous. But whatever hardcore Republicans' faults are, cannibalism is not one of them. there has been some discussion of this case at the local diner. a common view is "right idea, poor exe...

Re: Jordan Peterson: Atheists Are Murderers
Kayla, JP is not so easily cast aside. He is inconsistent, but he provides enough quality content to be considered highly credible by many people, and thus it's a concern when he includes olde worlde garbage like this in his material. what quality content? his youtube videos about 1950s dads are ju...

Re: Missionary Killed on Remote Island: Discuss?
He wasn't doing it for them. He was gathering brownie points for himself. Shame they didn't eat him--alive, except that they aren't cannibals. all lived around people like that all my life - in rural or semi-rural US south. they - at least most of them - are motivated by "brownie points" ...

Re: Jordan Peterson: Atheists Are Murderers
what is the big deal with JP? he is not interesting enough to even argue about. he offers old platitudes and weird rants about lobsters. a normal reaction would be on say 'meh' and move on. and yet people really get worked up at the mere mention of his name. Even the otherwise placid Canadians go bo...

Re: Alinsky's Rules for Radicals
