  • Dictatorships are not intrinsically bad.

    You can have good dictators, even if they are rare.

    Hard disagree there.

    But it really depends on what you value as good and bad.

    For instance, if you think that people have an inherent right to have a say in how they are governed, then a dictatorship can never be good because it infringes on that right in the most serious of ways.

    If you think a stable and sustainable system of government that will last beyond the life of a few leaders is important, then dictatorship is not a good system, because one good dictator creates no guarantee that the next dictator will be good, and establishing a system of dictatorship affords a bad dictator that much more power to ruin lives.









  • You thinking you have the more enlightened position simply because you are willing to carte blanche accept this behavior or foreign policy position from the candidate that will be better for the United States doesn’t make you a genius, it makes you self-rigtheous and self-centered. Real innocent people are really dying, and your ability to shrug that off in such a smug, self-satisfied way is truly appalling.

    This really isn’t at all what he said, and is an extremely dishonest thing to post.

    You complain that your comments fall on deaf ears, but when you accuse people of things that are blatant lies, what do you expect?







  • These people are harassing children and spewing hate messages. No they’re not violent terrorists, but they’re closer to that than they are to debaters.

    both sides allowed to voice their positions in neutral language

    Neutral language? Are you kidding me??

    This is not a debate. One side’s position is “we want an after school club where we can learn about science and feel accepted.” The other side’s position is “you are evil and deserve to die.” If you give those two positions equal time, you are not being neutral. And there is no “neutral language” for hate speech.


  • And you’re trying to argue that “New club starts after school, kids have fun” Is some gross misrepresentation of what you said?

    Yes. Because that’s not what I said at all. Go read what I actually fucking said.

    It was a completely inoffensive article

    It wasn’t.

    that you blatantly misrepresented so you could offended. Sorry, but you clearly tried hard to do so.

    I didn’t.

    And I notice that you didn’t actually challenge any of my claims.

    Because it was a dishonest troll comment that misrepresented what I said. Just like this one is too. There’s nothing to challenge when all that you wrote was dishonest. And there’s no reason to treat you seriously when you’re just trolling.
