    Selling below cost to drive competitors out of the market and then raising prices. Amazon's MO.

    Not as verifiable as: there are only two genders. Yet public schools are ignoring that science like flaming flat earthers.

    They are actually teaching that if you believe the science, you are TRANSgressing.

    Open support of only one iteration of politics. Open criticism of alternative iterations of politics. Open display of propaganda materials linked to a specific political ideology, while refusing to display their opposite. Etc etc etc. The list is ****ing endless.

    Ah .. well monopolies are a different matter. They do need breaking up, after a certain point.

    No ring. Should I get one?

    What is 'fair'? Who gets to decide that? And how is it fair for one guy, and not another?

    Barney Frank 2003, “The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies (to reform), the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.”

    Barney Frank 2004, “I do think I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing.”

    Is Barney propaganda? Can’t change the channel. No television.

    I provides you irrefutable proof Democrats wanted derivatives deregulated so subprime lending would be possible long term. Bill Clinton was active in formulating the foundations and signed it all into law. Without that fact the subprime crisis wouldn’t have even been possible.

    Very astute observation! And yes, the slow creep of responsibility dread is disturbing. I suspect there is an 'orphan' element involved though .. since so many of these Prog types are the product of the typical well-heeled white First World culture which eschews family interdependence. When you can't earn your own keep, and can't form the sort of solid relationships needed to build a stable family, and your own family background does not offer lifelong and entirely dependable refuge, those orphan feelings are going to inform much of what you do.

    PS: I envy you the lamb care! I haven't had any livestock here in a while, and miss it.

    I hadn’t considered that underlying cause. I think you are right.

    Sometimes you don’t feel like getting out of bed every couple hours to go out in the cold to help the little buggers. But it’s all so worth it in the long run. Animals have given me much insight about human behavior in everything from population densities to sense of humor.

    Gender is a social construct, many different societies have 3. Sex even is bimodal. Have you looked at scientific and sociological journals?

    Agree entirely, on the animals. They're very life affirming and ego-limiting. And agree that caring for others (man or beast) is a gift.

    You seem to be saying that progressives prefer to have Trump as a leader. Is that true?

    But you don't blame the people who CHOSE to acquire those debts?

    Never mind, I understand now. If no one is responsible for their own choices, then clearly the members of the GOP (including Trump) who did the naughty things you claim they did, can't be held responsible. So how DARE you blame them for it! Where's your compassion?

    I think he's quite right to suggest it. They seem to love a Big Daddy (they can hate or love).

    YOU'RE the one saying people aren't responsible for their own choices.

    Do you want to revise that?

    I saw mention of nationality, but not race. There are white people with blonde hair in Mexico, and light skinned people with medium brown hair, and darker people with green eyes, and black people, and Asian people. Etc. Which race was he referring to?

    I'm not suggesting that his mention of nationality was good, but just that there's a difference between race and nationality in most nations.
