I actually don't know how I feel about the Constitution anymore. It seems silly that we let a 300 year old document govern a country in a world that the people who wrote said document couldn't possibly fathom.

What would you consider to be a non-silly foundation? Do you have an alternative to the constitution?

Even posters that have agreed with you have told you that you’re insufferably whiny and hyperbolic. That probably has something to do with it.

There are multiple things that are equally true at the same time.


It's BS people were forced to pay into this broken system all their lives for a return that would've been much bigger if invested into the market. - true

It's not a sustainable program and it would be nothing short of theft if the government took those funds all those years and did away with the program. - true

The younger people are absolutely screwed because as bad as it is for your age group, it's only going to get worse. - true

The way to put he program and this country on a financially sustainable path would certainly have to include SS reform. - true

As aging boomers receive payouts from SS, the financial situation will continue to be more dire for their kids and grandchildren. - true


I get why you'd be pissed for paying all those years and getting nothing. I get why young people are abslutely correct in that they'll be left to hold the proverbial bag on this. It sucks for everyone which is why it was a stupid, socialistic, embarrassment of a program that never should've started to begin with.

SPED classification can include students with all of the following: reading comprehension, poor eye sight, medical conditions, hard of hearing, anxiety, depression, heart conditions, etc. Not to defend her but there’s SPED and then there’s “SPED” if that makes sense.

If by we you mean the American people as a whole, I'd agree. People don't like to accept this, but we spend an incredible amount of time complaining about our government when the truth is, it's exactly the one we deserve. Our population is a bunch of lazy, entitled, low information morons. Any politician who honestly wanted to fix the brokenness in this country would be promptly voted out and replaced with another "free shite" guy. We have far too many retards in this country.

I would argue both. I'm not trying to morally justify the former, but it would be shortsighted to not see that the killing of Lincoln or Kennedy did not have political benefits for those who opposed them.

On the other side, the Civil Rights movement leaders knew that their best option was to showcase the violence of those who opposed them. Had the racists and segregationists not physically attacked peaceful protesters with some regularity, the progress of that movement would have been a lot slower.

---

I see what you're saying. I think it's two different conversations; is political violence morally justifiable or is it pragmatically effective have two very different roads we can walk down.

Certainly there are agurments that from a strictly pragmatic perspective, political violence has had examples of some real effectiveness. Were those examples of violence morally justifiable? That's a whole different ball of wax.

Lefties embrace diversity simply because they're told to. They don't really have metrics to point to diversity being a positive for society and they'll go to an early grave defending it.

"Violence has no place in politics." Civilized idea or naive?

---

I think one would have to define terms more specifically first. When someone says violence in politics, do they mean attacking or killing someone during a civil/peaceful debate on ideas? Are they referencing global politics where hot conflicts are involved? It's too broad of a statement to address without further clarification.

Do you ever have stressful moments where you thought the plane was going to crash? Do you usually get along well with other pilots and crew? Ever enjoy the destination you fly to or do you have to turn around and leave right away? Does doing checks before takeoff become monotonous?
