I've given up on trying to teach anyone here anything (They gave Socrates hemlock, now this guy.)

There's no helping you. This site is now just a diversion -- like a train wreck. This site is inherently for and about raving egomaniacs, and Jim's site policies -- which amount to excluding reality and actual dialogue in favor of political/militaristic pornography -- is conducive to cognitive dissonance, which at the times your worldview is threatened leads you into psychotic breaks (on the political cognitive plane, that is, and just maybe in other realms too). Not to mention that your baseline politics is based in mythology about American demographics, science, economics, ethics etc. You spoonfeed each other in the first place, so rationality on FR is always constrained to small scope matters. (You try to make up for this by shifting rapidly to things on which you share prejudices.)

FR is a purist's dream illustration of Kant's opinion that "Most people claim to be thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices." The name of the site is an Orwellian joke -- the only freedom truly here is the animal kind the uncivilized insist on, the only 'res publica' of interest is of acting in conspiracy to screw the public good for private gain, the only laws and people you truly like are the ones that permit/protect the anarchy, parasitism, and thievery you prefer, and immoralism is the true religion you espouse. FR is a mismanaged zoo, really, and I like coming here on occasion -- the sights are alternatingly horrifying and amusing, but always a reminder of what the Enlightenment was a fight against.

Best wishes.

Your screen name should be a true stinker. It may help your cause to reply to your idiotic rant.

Welcome to FR!
I get in a ton of arguements here at FR- on everything from religion to philosophy to macroeconomics to religious tolerance.
I get called "Troll", "Equivocator", "Moonbat", "Liberal" (actually I consider myself a right-winger.) I get my opinions shredded, my logic deflated, my sources questioned, and my opinions ridiculed.
That's why I come here to FR. Why would I want to "preach to the choir" as it were?
This is akin to why I have no problem with public displays of Christians symbols. While not a Christian, I am strong enough in my own faith that even if I were marched into a church at gunpoint every Sunday and forced to recite the Lord's Prayer and sing "Old Hundred" it wouldn't change the beliefs in my heart.
Are you so weak in your beliefs and opinions that a few (or a few thousand) barbed posts from FR's Pajamadheen rout you so easily?

Speak for yourself, I'm only here for the extended Natalee Holloway threads.

You must watch a lot of Greta on FOX.
