PAID politicians, my friend. Paid, or threatened...
Never attribute to stupidity what can be explained by money or fear. Stupidity tends to get isolated, politicians are anything but.
Right on, tried debating some leftie acquaintances on this one and they just couldn't get past the feminist dogma.
LEFTIES: "Well, **he** chose to have sex."
ME: "But so did **she**! Why is he the only one paying for their (hopefully mutual!) choice?"
*crickets*
LEFTIES: "But **he** CHOSE TO HAVE SEX."
Then I switched from beer to whiskey in an effort to numb the awareness of just how deep the brainwashing goes.
I'm not old enough to tell for sure, but there's a huge movement in modern discourse for the acceptance of ad hominem attacks as substitutions for actual discussion of ideas. "You must be republican", "you must be white", "check your privilege", "seriousness of the charge".
Of course anonymous comments have less value. It's boring to actually argue the message with logic and reason. They'd rather just call them names and attack the person.
I keep saying that the art of debate is dying a very painful and prolonged death due to the use of ONLY ad-hominems and logical fallacies... good to see someone who sees it as well!
Demagogues can spout all they want on freedom of religion / speech / etc... When the pedal hits the metal, they're only human, and the guns / censorship / misinformation / propaganda / etc come out.
Somewhat apropos, Lal was always a dick when I used to play Alpha Centauri. Aggressive motha...

Wait, let me guess... this triggered you, huh? Tsk tsk... SJW.

"How hard is that?" That is, indeed, what she said.
So "no true feminist" huh? Right... sorry but I've heard it before, not buying it.
By you, yes.
BUGNUTS IN 2014! YES WE CAN!

North America will never accept that a lack of personal responsibility causes anything. Everything here is built upon that principle.

Is it bad that I instantly thought of Fallout 2 when I saw this comment?
Thank you for exhibiting reading comprehension. Seems to be a problem associated with sufferers of Mangina Syndrome, such as Mr. meta-monkey.
Right on the money. I spent my mod points already, dammit... The entitlement culture driven by cultural Marxism is incredible, isn't it?
Aha, starting off with an ad hominem. Followed by strawman... another strawman... Blech.
