How come that Nazis are walking on our streets

Matias comments on Sep 8, 2018:

"Nazis" thrive when liberals have overreached. It is an inevitable *backlash*. Whether it is the Sweden Democrats or the AfD in Germany, they owe their success to failures of dominant mainstream parties.

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 8, 2018:

@Matias You are so full of yourself and absolute BS. You consistently state claims with no fact or compelling theory to back those claims up. All of your thinking is built on sand. You HAVE NO rational basis for anything you espouse.

Does every State have absentee ballots? I'm in total agreement with you...if people can do it.

@LucyLoohoo ooookaaaaay. I'm really not sure how that's relevant to the conversation?

What is something you ate growing up that you never ate again once you became an adult?

GreatNani comments on Sep 7, 2018:

Curious about why people do not vote? In particular why they do not vote in local elections which have the most effect on their daily lives.

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 7, 2018:

@GreatNani unfortunately that is not true everywhere. In fact in many places, polling stations are being shut down entirely. Operations vary greatly depending on where you are in the country.

That's just science.

TheGreatShadow comments on Sep 7, 2018:

On the other hand, some must love it when their partner beats the shit out of them multiple times! Just saying this because a former friend went back to her former boyfriend (for the 7th time). She had her own place 45 minutes from his. Maybe some people deserve to be beat?

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 7, 2018:

@TheGreatShadow understanding and respecting ones own rights as a person precede understanding and respecting others' rights. I'll go out on a limb and say she doesn't know that she and her son deserve better. Likely, she assumes all men behave that way and doesn't want to trafe one abuser for another.

Zoohome comments on Sep 6, 2018:

But I'm sorry, there should be a dress code specially for skirts or shorts' length. As well as guys with their baggy pants showing their underwear. It's a matter of respect, not about sexual object.

I certainly hope that people in states where the elected officials are working to supress peoples ability to get to the polls is over ridden by others willing to help drive those who want to vote to the polling places. Vote Blue!!

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 7, 2018:

Yes! What I'm thinking is that encouraging people to vote by mail will sidestep this issue. We really need people in places like georgia and the Carolinas doing this. Gotta go bug my local democrats....

That's just science.

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 7, 2018:

There is a cycle to abuse and one of the first steps is to convince the abused that they need the abuser, whether financially,emotionally or physically. Only after this "need" is established does the abuse begin. This is one of the major reasons abused people struggle to leave their abusers, they've been extensively brainwashed.

See now that's your personal opinion. Personal opinions are subjective and highly variable. There is no rhyme or reason behind them.Personal opinions should not be enforced.

Fuck Trump and fuck Nike. Nike uses slave wage labor to make over priced goods that they sell to douche-bags for their lifestyle image circle jerk. Trump and Knight are the same scum, imho.

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 5, 2018:

@exilesky jeez. Who hurt you? You're angry at the person pointing out something fucked up because they're less than perfect, but not the people actually doing fucked up things? You remind me of self proclaimed perfectionists I've known who never get anything accomplished because all the little unimportant details must be perfect before they can do anything. Quit bitching about things that are inavoidable in the society we live in and go do something positive instead of trying to drag everyone else down with your fake outrage over fake outrage.

Naomi Klein: The Worst Is Yet to Come with Trump, So We Must Be Ready for Shock Politics - YouTube

Druvius comments on Sep 3, 2018:

Naomi Klein has made a career of positing how the USA was just about to turn into the Third Reich. I'm no fan of Trump, but anything from Naomi Klein is best taken with a large dose of salt. :)

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 3, 2018:

@Druvius It's not something that's publicly addressed or activily fought againt anywhere near enough. We need people writing books and speaking and motivating everyone to take an interest and get involved. Personally I am greatly annoyed by the automatic attack on anyone calling out the corrupt ass system we live in. "But she's making a living out of writing these books!" Wtf do you want her to do, starve so she can prove how "pure" her intentions are? Pffft

PontifexMarximus comments on Sep 2, 2018:

This is counterproductive. I like people who refuse to go to war. Trump's refusal to join the military was perhaps his only positive act. The drama is that he is now the supreme war lord of the planet

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 2, 2018:

The point is that he refused to fight,himself, but loves to send others off to fight and die for money and reflected glory for himself.

OpposingOpposum replies on Sep 2, 2018:

Very much this! Something I've been working on and its amazing how healthy boundaries change how you relate to others. I think a lot of us have been conditioned to see self regard as selfishness and getting past that to a healthy balance is really helpful.

OpposingOpposum replies on Aug 29, 2018:

@Hastur I'm going to quibble with that a bit. There have been some really interesting studies that have shown that equinamity and fairness is valued among social primates more than status. I recall one where it was noted that even human infants seem to have an inherent sense of "fairness" . it makes sense in groups dependant on one another for survival(which we are). I'm of the opiniin that heirarchies are a largely manufactured value in human society that cause more problems than they solve. why are we still buying into that bs worldview? It creates nothing of value and glorifies the true parasites of our society.

I think more to the point, it benefits those who employ manual laborers. If you don't respect the work someone does, its hard to get public backing for better wages and working conditions. Follow the money. Whenever big money moralizes it somehow always benefits their checkbooks.

@Lisl doesn't it? I agree he should have been up front about his situation and for that I would have ended things. However, He and the ex wife have called it quits, they're living separately. I get that it "looks weird" but with the housing situation as bad as it is I can understand him not moving. He would probably prefer not to be homeless. Sounds like a tough spot he's in and he unfortunately decided against honesty. To be fair though once you found out, you judged him just as harshly as he feared you would which is probably why he lied.

@PontifexMarximus the professors? I disagree, I think the lower and middle class are fairly well represented in academia.

This is a little off topic but are you aware of the movements for growing food native/happy with Florida's climate. There are some folks working on that down here at anna maria island and I've often wished I had the capital to start a "florida food" restaurant. I think it would amazing.

Yes. Very much so and the rich are making all the decisions. It's a powder keg situation, really.

Yet another plus of being an athiest.

I really liked the last one. The fence is missing paint and also there is the dappling of the sun. They look sort of the same, which gives it a interesting feeling, along with the subject.

Lovely voice and melody. Should I watch it a second time to understand it or is it actually a hot mess?

OpposingOpposum replies on Aug 21, 2018:

No. I'm pretty sure the lyrics are nonsensical. I can't make sense of them anyway.

There’s a lot to be said for simply validating a person’s pain.

JesseBoren comments on Aug 20, 2018:

It's rare I share when I feel bad because I hate people telling it's going to get better or they are sorry. First off you didn't do anything so there is nothing to be sorry about and second its a chronic illness, it's probably never going to get better. I do understand the expression and where it's ...

A friend of mine was wearing a cross around her neck.

OpposingOpposum comments on Aug 20, 2018:

I've had a couple arguments on here about this. Just because I'm wearing a cross doesn't mean I'm Christian. My mom had a collection of them that I wear when I'm missing her. Assumptions suck.

@steve148 yeah I know. Assumptions bug me tho.

What the author fails to address is that it's the claimant who has the burden, not the one who doesn't accept the claim. He lost me right out of the gate by saying ...
