Sanders starting to kick some HC... whatever

[BabyPeterzz]

What a bunch of nonsense. You either provide some substance along with your "this is just your opinion, dude" that I can respond to, or I'll just skip over your posts as I do DutchJazzer.

Ha, whatever.

That is a point that BP proposed, not I.

The ****? No. Where?

Sincere question. I have seen binary used this way, similarly, a few times in the past but admit l don't get it.
Would you care to explain its meaning based on your specific sentence?

See Moe's take below. But yeah, it is something that I've always wondered about. Why do certain people think so similarly on either one side or the other on a multitude of issues? You would think people wouldn't have such similar interests in such a wide range of issues yet we do.

My sincere question -- did you really mean what you wrote or were you feigning anger. I can never tell with you but it cut pretty deep. That thread was started for fun and turned south.

I think I see your point, and it's an important one-- but I don't think what I've said really goes against it that much. In my opinion, a preoccupation with being "too-PC" is a social-conservative phenomenon. That's pretty fair to say IMO.

Agreed. However, you're non-nonchalant SMH comment about our public education system deserved being called out. The American education system is far from catastrophic as the media makes it out to be. Talking with professionals in the field without an agenda is pretty eye opening.

EDIT: I was probably giving franklin too much credit. In rereading through the earlier posts, I think he threw that word in there "just because..."

Good call. I like to rib Dalamon a bit, but he prefers stubs instead of ribs.

Remind me. I am never angry, btw.

Speaking of Sanders...... How creepy are those new KFC commercials? I cringe every time one comes on.

So KFC changed the colonel pretty quickly to a much less creepy Norm McDonald.

So it's no longer the guy who played Bill Clinton on SNL???

I'm not a Clinton fan by any stretch, nor do I know anything about Sanders. So far, I haven't engaged much in the presidential election.

Frankly, however, the prospect of the Republicans controlling all three branches of government and possibly nominating several Supreme Court justices and/or hurtling the US headlong into a war with Iran is sufficiently frightening that I'd vote for a Chimpanzee were the Democrats to put one forward in the General Election.

This is a bit of a strawman. I don't remember anyone arguing for a capitalist anarchy. I actually find libertarians who make a religion out of individual freedom to be supremely obnoxious. No self-respecting economist that I've heard of argues for a fully unregulated economy. Regulation is very much a part of modern capitalism. The problem is that you're not seeing the forest for the trees. You start from the faulty leftist premise that the system has done us wrong, and that we should band together to fix it.

When you make a statement like "inhibiting growth to help people is oxymoronic", this is the implication that it leaves. My point is that growth has already been inhibited to help people. This is what regulation does. And it's been largely successful, as we both agree.

With this said, capitalism is a broad umbrella of multiple types. While "inhibiting growth to help people" may seem oxymoronic, nearly every contemporary capitalistic economic system has measures that inhibit growth, or regulations that reduce the maximization of growth of corporations. These regulations are widely instituted in order to help people, and they have decades of proof to prove that they work. That's why laissez-faire economics is a concept that's essentially absent in the modern world. While it may seem oxymoronic, it is simply something that already exists.

Dala, you're essentially making an anti-Keynesian, Ayn Rand argument without realizing it. Please, for the love of Dante's knees, stop.

Regulation and redistribution can help or inhibit growth, depending on how they're implemented. Redistribution is an essential part of capitalism and helps growth more than inhibiting if done correctly. The same goes for regulation (in a vacuum, meaning not considering the rest of the globe). That's something the far right cannot comprehend anymore than the far left can comprehend market-based incentives.

Arguing that we should adopt comfort policies at the expense of growth is not in your best interest. It's also divisive on the grand scale.

I like Bill and I like HC. I don't get the guilt by association hate. This country has always been all about career politicians. The stability works well. HC is very competent as well as qualified. I'll vote for her.

Competant? Really?

Competant? Really?

No, competent. Absolutely.

I view politics from more of a poly-sci perspective (the only real science). I honestly like and admire most of the power players in DC. I love listening to Bill Clintan. Dude's a stud.
