Would still eat.

Okay, I'm changing my comment now that I've had a chance to read the full article in question. He is definitely not saying we shouldn't try to understand Trump voters! That is one meaning sometimes given to the word 'empathy', but it's not at all the meaning he has in mind and that's quite clear thr...

That was an explanation, not an attack. I honestly don't know why it reads like an attack. I have for many years grasped that we have a friendship of enjoyment going on around here, so I don't ever require much less expect that anyone has my wellbeing at heart. But for fuck's sake, I cannot understa...

Was "lying" too strong a word? You suggested that I was mischaracterizing or skewing my statements of my beliefs for some broader intent at playing nice. Yeah, lying was definitely too strong a word. I did not in any way mean to imply that you were mischaracterizing your own beliefs. Rath...

I feel like you're trying to create and argument with someone when no one wants to argue with you. You're entitled to your opinions. No biggie. I don't know what you mean. I have no argument with Ronster at all. He gave me reasons for his Trump support that make sense to me and that aren't based on...

I said it, because I believe it. Many Trump supporters I know ARE indeed racist. But the majority are not. However, you've outlined a definition that says that voting for Trump makes you racist, so by that definition, yeah... all Trump voters are racist. Obviously. Ok, but is my definition wrong? D...

Welcome to our planet, visitor from another star system. Mike is awesome. What planet do you live on? :provoke: The planet where a director I dislike made a movie called "Elle" about a book I dislike, starring an actress who, while good at her craft, gives me the horror-shivers because of...

Really liked your comments on education. I have been intrigued lately by how profound an effect the school's administrators can have. Good ones seem to attract good teachers and institute policies that bring out the best in everyone, including student learning. Poor ones seem to actively harm studen...

Mike this is a response to the podcast, and I know we've been over this before (so I'm posting it here), but I have a serious question about this. Is your reason for pressing the point that most people who voted for Trump are not racist, sexist, or homophobic, the general desire to get us past the d...

Love it! The one you posted is a good one already. This morning I woke up with Garth Brooks, Friends in Low Places, running through my mind. I want to ask why. Don't we have enough going wrong?

I've been watching all 7 Star Wars movies in the order originally presented, so my kids could see them too. I found that movies 2 and 3 did not hold up well, until the very end of 3 where the mask is born. 1 is terrible for its own reasons, but has a certain excitement about it due to the novelty. C...

Almost like prayer.
