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.

It will take me about 2 months to look up all those big impressive words you used in this post. Couldn't you use plain language so I could understand what you really mean?
Or, have you not realized that I am not a Progressive and therefore not one of the intellectual elites?
In the meantime you can go **ss up a rope.

I sit here chortling as I read the garbage you've posted. You are yet another mental lightwieght who believes that if he posts enough pseudo-intellectual terminology and drops the right names, he can pass for a man of intellect. Sorry, it takes more than that--and I'd be saying that even if you'd used "cognitive dissonance" correctly.

Interesting. You signed up TODAY. How on Earth were you able to post and enlighten us all with your superior intellect and understanding if you were not a member?

Well, welcome to FR. The kitties are coming. Goodbye.

Sweet. I've got me a new tagline. I like the way it sounds and it makes it look like I know a lot of big words. See, you are helpful!

I found a great Orwell quote that fits you pseudointellectual rant:

"Only an intellectual would believe something so stupid."

this image begs for the following excerpt:

"You will not see this again, these are the old ways..."

Lo, there do I see my father
Lo, there do I see my mother and my sisters and my brothers
Lo, there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
Lo, they do call to me
They bid me take my place among them
in the Halls of Valhalla
Where the brave may live forever...
