Look, a few years ago, there would have been no pushback. Take your wins when you get them.

No. The thing is, we are winning. That studio audience leans left, yet supported the right.

There sorta is. Discovery during a lawsuit allows this. But even then, it's not a catchall solution, and it has a major flaw. Doctor/patient confidentiality is a thing, and it applies double to therapists, especially with families who may have been the cause of whatever resulted in them being...

Asylums are one of the trickiest things to hold people accountable for, because it's nearly impossible to get out of them once confined to one. Just getting before a judge is tricky, and then if the patient is abused, it's easy to write off the patient as crazy, because they legally are...

A combo of manchausen by proxy, the ability to easily get away with it, and social cache for being woke that's otherwise inaccessible to white people.

So depending on how Germany does this, an insane asylum could be a lot better than a conviction. Generally, you can get locked in one forever, and for a non-lethal crime, that's better than the alternative. IDK about Germany specifically, but I know in the US, prison is usually better than an...

Exactly. Me and Kilroy get along decently. I get he doesn't approve of my behavior, and don't expect him to, and wouldn't ask him to. Just like I don't necessarily approve of everything he does. That's being human. But at they same time we tolerate one another's differences, and have a decent...

The majority is actually silent. Then there's a bunch of 'allies' who coopt the movement to push for stupidity.

Not really. The LGBT groups were latched onto by pedos initially because they were treated by the law fairly similarly: This is illegal, and punishment is castration/lobotomy/other bad stuff. In the 70s and 80s, the gays, after getting a little bit of breathing room, tossed out the pedos. But...

No, that was the opposite. These are high schoolers scared of being ostracized (especially in NY), but they aren't stupid. They've learned how to talk to not be considered 'transphobic' but also to kick the transkids out of bathrooms. It's honestly a brilliant piece of speaking. "Give them...

They did print the statement of the regular protest though. This was actually good reporting.

This is, by my quick look, the only time I insulted you, at least for this thread: Look, I'm sorry if my statement was too far by your opinion. I don't think you are an idiot, or even dumb. I do think you are wrong about the concept of America though, on a deep level, but I don't really see a...

Technically, they did actually do a naval raid on England (specifically Whitehaven), but that was only one ship by itself (John Paul Jones is a legend for a reason). It was less successful than hoped, but still not bad. But yeah, the point stands, no invasion would be viable at all. Islands are...

If you have a bad take, then compound it with bad history (even if its a typo), I'll point out both. Really, the US had effectively three constitutional conventions. First the articles of confederation, then the constitutional convention, then the bill of rights. And yes, there was bitterness...

Given you apparently think there were only 12 colonies, I'm not inclined to trust any of the rest of your dubious knowledge of history. Also, they seemed to have all signed a few documents in which they all agreed on some basic ideals. You might want to read those as well after opening a...

No. America was a nation very much founded on a shared set of ideals, namely freedom, equality, and some form of capitalism ("the pursuit of happiness" was originally "the pursuit of property", and the fifth amendment's ban on uncompensated takings). Now what form of equality (equality before...

Did you even read what I posted? It responds to this perfectly: The US was founded on ideals that it didn't implement yet, and still is reaching for those ideals. The USA has fallen short of those ideals, but it's more or less pursued them, and through that pursuit, created the greatest country...

Because in the pursuit of those ideals we've constantly improved. No one lives up to the ideal, especially not a nation. The point of an ideal isn't just to reach it, but that even in failing to reach it you still make things better.

You aren't advocating responsibility or chaos. What you are advocating is a police state that moniters you closely to see who you have sex with. You advocate tyranny and call it discipline, when discipline is found within one's self.

The more this goes on, the happier I am he won.
