@CourtJester Are you truly that dense that you believe that one article about one aspect of one country that has implemented some aspects of socialism represents the entirety of the expanse of a full fledged political ideology? Someone as self centered as yourself will never be able to comprehend the benefits of socialism implemented following late stage capitalism.

@CourtJester Correct, it is not MY job to do the research to support YOUR claims. The idea, Einstein, is to do the research BEFORE you make the claim so that you actually know what you're talking about. The quote remains undated and is taken out of context such that it is not apparent what she is even talking about. I am continuously surprised at how grossly uneducated you are. There is not a chance that you have been to university and it is hilarious that you think we can't tell.

@Hages Thank you. I'm fine with you disagreeing with Marx. What I'm not fine with is unsupported factual allegations regardless of the nature of the article. The article may be true in whole or in part and it may be untrue in whole or in part. The article is unreliable and the credibility of the author and the publication are called into question for this reason alone. Even worse, never in the pursuit of my degrees or in my entire lifetime have I seen a character assassination intended to undermine the subject's academic works that sunk so low as to address things like the condition of the subject's home. Such personal attacks, even if true are entirely inappropriate and would not be given any credibility In an academic setting or by anyone with personal integrity. Truly a disgusting article.

LovinLarge replies on Jan 2, 2021:

@UrsiMajor I make my own decisions, thank you. The Democrats capitulated to McConnell in this instance, exactly what they told us they would not do. And here's more: I got my $600 stimulus at 3 am on Friday morning, after Trump vetoed the bill authorizing it and and before his veto was overridden. It was disbursed without lawful authorization which tells me that everything must be being orchestrated in advance. No financial support for Democrats from me until I start seeing the change promised.

I have to wonder how you would feel if I had said that to you after you had had a personal year full of financial and horrific family losses. Yes the world is always full of tragedy but Americans are very lucky that it has not been as close to home as what we've experienced in 2020. This is also ...

@Mitch07102 There were more than 300,000 preventable American deaths in 2020. Anyone who interprets that data as "awesome" is either abnormal or phony and not to be trusted.

Yet another incredibly skewed question intended to direct attention away from all the unconscionable stunts committed by you RWNJ's this year, including the more than 300,000 preventable American deaths attributable to this psychotic president.

I started 2020 with cancer surgery, I lost at least 10 friends and family to covid, I had covid, I had a second cancer scare (came back benign yesterday). I had multiple trips canceled. 2020 was a bad year, but I survived, so far. I'm not going to sugar coat it, but I hope 2021 is much better.

I'm very sorry for all of your losses this year and wish wonderful things for you in the new year.

You have the same empathy as a president I know. There's a joke about a little kid stuck in a room with shit up to his neck and he's throwing it around saying there's got to be a pony in here somewhere. Ignoring or downplaying a worldwide pandemic is pretty sad just because it didn't affect you.

Should people continue to keep pets? [theguardian.com]

lulufaerie394 comments on Dec 30, 2020:

This selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering, which results from manipulating their breeding, selling or giving them away casually, and depriving them of the opportunity to engage in their natural behavior. They are restricted to human homes, where ...

LovinLarge replies on Dec 30, 2020:

You're talking about a practice that's been going on for thousands if not tens of thousands of years. The way to address an issue of this magnitude is to break it down into manageable goals, hence my comment about ending intentional breeding of pets which you ridiculed. For you to come here and think you're going to accomplish anything by being nasty to everyone shows extremely poor judgment. For you to priorize the practice of keeping pets over the meat industry is poor judgment. Ignoring my request for evidence to support your position shows poor judgment. In a single thread, you've lost any credibility that may have been afforded you as a new member. You need to take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you're helping or hurting your cause.

Charles1971 comments on Dec 29, 2020:

Keep pets... as opposed to setting them free? I think the pets are better off being taken care of by people. Sure, there are instances of animal abuse/cruelty and in some cases it can be quite horrific, but I think the vast majority of pets are far better off with people rather than roaming free ...

Where do you think the laws of logic come from?

That is horrific anecdotal evidence, but you'd think an AP reporter would know that they had to reference their statistical claims to be credible.

LovinLarge replies on Dec 28, 2020:

@Hages I concede that there are some Christian parents that don't indoctrinate their children, although I've never met any myself. My father had a high profile job so both my parents identified as agnostic, but they didn't believe in God and religion was never mentioned in my household that I can remember except one time when my dad called it "a crutch".

LovinLarge comments on Dec 28, 2020:

I doubt it. One term presidents are fairly rare. If the Democrats take the Senate, the Democrats can and should overhaul our regressive taxation system so that the wealthy start paying their fair share. Remember during WWII there was a 94% taxation rate on taxable income over $200,000.
