Now THAT gets interesting.
Wow? That's interesting, I have to ask the topic???
Now THAT is compelling and more to a constructive point. Let them have their say, and those who will follow will follow no matter what.
I don't disagree with you at heart but we are talking about a situation where no one can be unbiased unless they've been in a coma since Fred Trump marched with the KKK.
I can't disagree and I'm certainly no fan of any of this crap. OUT it already and let's move forward toward systems that scale, because this model ends in genocide.
I felt strongly censored whenever those doors are closed. I am the citizen, that's our government, of the people, by the people, then let me hear the people. I'm extreme. I do not expect people to agree with me because ripping bandaids off hurts.
It's manipulation. I don't like it. I'm open everything, but I do realize that is a very different perspective than most humans. Yes, I am a globalist. Both as a Jew and wanting a globally integrated, scalable, sharing world instead of one of limitations and lies. Can we be that?
McCarthyism Dominos. People aka Jews aka Socialists aka Humans have been killed over this. It starts with books/press and turns on people. That's not an unreasonable concern when we have thousands of years of similar behavior to show this is not new. None of it. This is humanity.
I would also argue that "tolerance" barely touches "civil" - Oh, dear friend, I tolerate you, I do. Not quite I sometimes get so angry but I always love you. ?
My concern is that it is censorship, which is of course yet another sign of corrosion of free speech ideals. Next we'll be burning books, and albums, and socialists will be put to death. It's not a new story.
Intolerant of tolerance Tolerant of Intolerance That is cognitive dissonance if my interpretation of your point is correct.
interesting. I think we do it and pretend we don't. Or don't realize it. We tolerate intolerance more readily every day it seems to me. Thinking cap on!

Have you never held multiple beliefs about one idea? To me, that is really the possible distinction of human perception - not that we are cognizant, but that we are cognizant of cognitive dissonance. One thing is never just one thing.

I get what you're saying, but it's censorship. we don't do that. Chris Matthews is a fine journalist IMO and has had a really hard time of it for this very reason. See Tommy Smothers quote next. Would I like some people to STFU? Sure. But you don't have to put your energy there.
Dems, you are wrong to deny FOX from the debates. Way to keep that Faux BiPartisan Regime alive. Lies or not, sitting in the sandbox and throwing shit at each other is demeaning to all. This is why I am not a Dem or GOP. I have no party and this duplicity is a zero sum game.

Replying to @LFLegal
After I typed I thought "hey, that was pretty good Mols" haha, it's always the unintended ones that delight the most. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :D

May I quote that? Everywhere? It seems so crystal clear to me. But people seem to want to use law as a weapon system rather than a guidance system.

We must address underlying cultural fears and also address one sided knowledge when it comes to this false binary world we've created. The treatment of people here, many Vietnam Vets, is as if they have no lives, no loves, are alone in this world and therefore good targets. Sick.

the expected to end in death part of diagnoses (isn't that just life tho? I know, but it matters on the checklist) and from what I heard recently my debt load at this point is far far below most people. I've worked very hard to pull that off, and a lot was paid via the house sale
