RoboGraham replies on Jan 15, 2020:

@KKGator I will continue to assume it until I see something convincing showing that it's true. I don't presume people guilty until proven innocent. Everything that I know about Bernie leads me to believe that he would not have said this. Warren on the other hand has had some issues with being truthful. She lied about her heritage, she lied about her son going to public school, and she lied about not using corporate money in her campaign. I don't trust her.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 15, 2020:

I've been following Sanders for a few years now and I haven't seen any examples of sexism. Do you have any examples of this? As far as I can tell, he supports woman's rights. Yes people are far too easily persuaded to turn on others. Like how Warren was persuaded to turn on her long time progressive friend and ally because she is desperate. People are supporting him much more than her. Has Bernie ever turned on her? Which groups are plants trying to subvert democrats? Her claim is that Bernie said a woman can't win. There are videos of him arguing that women can and should win dating from the 1980s. He tried to convince Warren to run in 16 because he believed she could win. She declined so he ran himself. He supported and campaigned for Hillary after losing the primary to her. This is not a person who believes that a woman can't win. It is nothing more than a smear.

We can't blame them for wanting to distance themselves. How can any world leaders trust the USA when our president pulls out of agreements, breaks treaties, and assassinates the generals of sovereign nations openly?

@OwlInASack It's terrible what the neoliberals have done to our countries. However, it seems that the left may be coalescing being Sanders here in the states. Do you reckon that, after all of the Brexit stuff is sorted, the left in the UK will have a chance again?

RoboGraham replies on Jan 10, 2020:

@Sticks48 They've turned the debates into something resembling a miss America pageant for politicians. Trump is extremely familiar with those and thus, knew exactly how to excel at it.The purpose of the debates is to generate ratings and make money for the advertisers, not to inform the public. It is a very ineffective method of learning important information about the candidates. If you really want to get to know a candidate and understand their policies and personalities, listen to a podcast that they have been on. A two hour long conversation with an interviewer from outside the corporate media world is the best way I know of to gain the most relevant information concerning these presidential options.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 10, 2020:

@LiterateHiker I've heard that he is very unpopular in NYC. The frisk stopping thing ought to be enough to doom his candidacy but with so much money, he seems to be literally buying support. Repeat something enough and some people start to believe it. That's Trump's strategy.

He is climbing in the polls so lots of people must be getting aboard the Bloomberg train. Is it just the ads? Or does he actually offer something that I'm over looking?

Why I am for all removal of all guns from civilian hands?

RoboGraham comments on Jan 6, 2020:

If normal is wanting to remove all guns from civilians then most of us are not normal. This is gun control group not gun prohibition group.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 7, 2020:

@GipsyOfNewSpain If gun control is a useless myth, why are you in the gun control group? If gun control is a useless myth, why are there so many countries that are able to do it successfully? Canada, Switzerland, Finland, and many others allow their citizens to own guns but put strict controls on who can have them, which guns can be possessed, how much ammo can be owned, how guns must be stored and so on. There are many places that have found a healthy balance between gun enthusiasts and gun control which result in people being able to have guns if they want/need but there is very little gun violence. If the USA will ever get it's gun violence under control, this is how it will be done, not some ridiculous unenforceable prohibition. If you'd like to see my face, there are several pictures of it on my profile. Feel free to have a look.

Great and wise Senators.

I think it's possible to be amused by his un-PC Jokes but not actually agree with what he is saying. That's why it bothers me when people try to use PC to shut down comedy. I can see why you would find his material to be in bad taste and I'm glad you don't support censorship. I don't think he will be losing any popularity any time soon though.

@Davesnothere If you consider getting upset because someone on the internet challenged your opinions and proved you wrong by pointing out the fallacies in your logic to be emotional and psychological torment, then yes you can consider me to be a not very nice human being. Losing a debate to a stranger online is not a misfortune. To mature people who aren't so insecure, it's a learning experience. I don't get pleasure from the misfortune of others, I get amusement at the lack of emotional control of others. I like that word schadenfreude. Thanks for explaining it's meaning. I'll have to use that one. The Germans have some great words.

@Deb57 As you should. Those are great examples of PC not going too far. That stuff is exactly why we have PC. Examples of out of control PC would be like if people call you a bigot for criticizing some of the more barbaric aspects of islam because muslims are minorities therefore it's un-PC to say anything critical of them. Another example would be someone calling you a sexist for enjoying and laughing at the latest Dave Chappelle stand up because some of his jokes involve woman.

I think going third party is a dead end plan. Much better to take over one of the main parties as Bernie is currently doing.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@Boudica That's probably true for some. But most hate Trump so much that they will vote blue no matter who. We did it for Hillary last time,most of us. And Bernie has an ace up his sleeve. His consistent advocacy for policies that help the working class and his conflict with the elites and establishment are very popular with demoralized potential voters who are so disenchanted with the system that they usually don't bother voting. These people will come out for Bernie because they can see that he is genuine and that he, unlike Obama, actually will change things for the better.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@Trajan61 You ought to study the history of a topic yourself before you go telling other people to they need to study. If you had done much studying yourself, you'd know that comparing stalinism to social democracy is an enormous false equivalency. Those two ideologies have been conflated for decades to the point that people think they are two words for the same thing. There are massive differences. To claim that they are one in the same is like saying islam and christianity are the same because they both were born out of the abrahamic tradition.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@Deb57 Well no I don't think so. A demand is much more noticeable than a request and the consequences for ignoring a demand are more intense than they are for ignoring a request. Here's what it comes down to. We (those of us who are decent that is) are polite to others automatically until they give us a reason to stop treating them politely. However, even when they do something that makes them undeserving of courtesy, we still would not treat them un-PC. You wouldn't go insulting someone based on race, age, gender etc... even if they have behaved badly because you are a decent person, but you would treat them impolitely if they deserve it. So there is a major difference. Politeness is social lubrication. We use it to get along well with others but it isn't a requirement. Politically correctness on the other hand is mandatory. It's function is to protect vulnerable groups and set social boundaries. I'm all for it unless it goes too far and creates an atmosphere in which you are afraid to be yourself and speak your mind or crack a joke.

racocn8 comments on Jan 4, 2020:

Any of the Democrat candidates are better than Trump. That being said... My objection to Yang is that he wants a national sales tax. That is a severely regressive proposal and shows he doesn't understand basic economics. All the candidates are absurdly flawed... Warren took months to come ...

RoboGraham replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@racocn8 It does pass the cost off on the consumer and therefore does increase prices. i'm not sure that I understand it fully but from what I've read, it puts a taxon a good each time it changes hands rather than just at the point of sale. So when the mining company sells silver ore to the refinery, the refinery pays a tax, and when the refinery sells the silver to a wholesaler, the wholesaler pays a tax, and when the wholesaler sells the silver to a jeweler, the jeweler pays a tax and when the jeweler sells the finished product to the customer, the customer pays a tax. So much more revenue is generated because tax is being collected at each link of the supply chain. Yang says that this will force giant corporations like amazon to pay more taxes because they can't dodge this tax as they do the income tax. He says that basic commodities will be exempt because he doesn't want to make things even more expensive for poor people. The tax will apply to luxury goods and non essentials. Will the increase in revenue collected justify the increased cost of goods. I don't know. But every other country with an advanced economy like ours is using a VAT tax so maybe there's something to it.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@BitFlipper Yeah he is being an asshole. Calling people leftpole, whatever that means. Still, you treated him politically correctly but were also discourteous at the same time. Which means that they aren't the same thing. So let's have a look at this. You said in your original post- "The thing we call "political correctness" is the same thing we used to call "courtesy"." Which, as I've shown you, is incorrect. He corrected you by saying- "That is not correct. Politeness is not the same as the "political correct" behavior being demanded by the left-polers." You followed that up by responding- " Political Correctness is, in fact, the modern equivalent of courtesy. Only a hate-filled regressive nationalist would refuse to acknowledge it." So did you not say some uncalled for discourteous stuff just because he disagreed with you?

@BitFlipper It's not very courteous of you to accuse @jacar of being a hate-filled regressive nationalist just because he disagrees with you that courtesy and PC are equivalent. Your comment was PC because you didn't insult his gender, age, race etc... but you were discourteous in how you spoke to him. So It's possible to be PC and discourteous simultaneously. So with your own logic, you being discourteous to him means that you were not PC. But you wouldn't do that would you. Only a hate-filled regressive nationalist would do that. Therefore, there is a difference between courtesy and PC. Which means you called him a hate-filled regressive nationalist for not acknowledging something that is incorrect.

Great conversation about real history .

Another term for being "Politically Correct" is "Not Being an Asshole." Here you have a guy who rebelled against his left wing parents by becoming alt right. Having a little education slathered with a crapload of bias doesn't mean you are right, honest, or that you possess any decency of character....

RoboGraham replies on Jan 5, 2020:

@Deb57 There is a slight difference. Being polite is appreciated, being PC is demanded. PC culture has good intentions and it's a great idea to set social boundaries so people are aware of what is off limits. But when it goes too far, it can stifle creativity and puts people on edge, anxious about every word they speak in public. Your interaction just now with @jacar is actually an exceptional example of another difference. You were not being polite when you said he is being irrational and strongly implied that he is full of racism, sexism, and bigotries. However, you didn't insult his race, gender, age, looks... so you were being PC. The fact that you can treat someone with political correctness while being impolite and unkind means that there is a significant difference. Granted, he wasn't polite to you either but he was PC, unless left-poler is an non-PC offensive term I'm unaware of.

Any of the Democrat candidates are better than Trump. That being said... My objection to Yang is that he wants a national sales tax. That is a severely regressive proposal and shows he doesn't understand basic economics. All the candidates are absurdly flawed... Warren took months to come ...

RoboGraham replies on Jan 4, 2020:

@Jacar Sure I agree. My comment was referring to how in the video he explains that it was prostitutes who began doing things that women weren't allowed to do in the olden days but now do all the time like go out in public without a male chaperone or wear clothing that shows more than just the face.

My reply is "is Mexico paying for the wall"?

@TheGreatShadow Sure we need some military but we could reduce a lot. I would love to see those middle men removed. The military industrial complex needs to have it's back broke. Interesting stories. Here's one for ya. When my uncle was a young fella, he was in the navy and for a few months he was stationed in Hawaii, having the time of his life. He got news that his destroyer would be shipping out soon. He didn't want to leave so he decided to take action. He's a mechanic, so he took apart the engines and started throwing parts overboard. That must have been super duper expensive and wasteful. He didn't get to stay much longer, they sent him home with a court marshal.

RoboGraham replies on Jan 4, 2020:

@rathswohl If I were one of those flag waving ultra-patriotic Americans, I'd be insulted. I'd probably say something like, "Son, if it wa'nt fer us yankees, you'd be speaking Japanese rite now." But that's the older generation. The majority of us youngans despise Trump for all the same reasons you do. We support Bernie Sanders and we are doing what we can to fix this. I'm proud of my countries accomplishments but I'm also critical when we do fucked up shit in regions of the world where we don't belong. I don't blame you for wanting to turn away from the American empire and align with other nations. We have been alienating many of our allies of late and if we keep this up, we will find ourselves alone with nothing but our aircraft carriers and bombs to keep us company as the rest of the world turns against us. Please keep in mind that not all of us are arrogant, greedy, ignorant, blood thirsty assholes. There are loads of positive things about the USA. We've allowed power to go to our heads and we elected a reality TV idiot as our leader. This is a low point for us but as I said, the younger generation is opposed to all of it and we will turn it around in time.

This is our situation.

I'm not even sure that I understand what this is getting at. Of course the victims who suffer from the problem aren't the problem. Is it trying to say that fire arms manufacturers are the problem? Why is a man pointing a pistol at a child? To your point, it's not their fault that people use their products irresponsibly. We don't blame drunk driving deaths on vehicle manufactures. It's certainly not the victims fault, it's the person who decided to break the law.

Great and wise Senators.

@bigpawbullets Personally, I'd prefer a corrupt, inept leader over a fascist. I think the fascist is more risky and possibly damaging. I'll have to respectfully disagree with your analysis. Biden is certainly corrupt and inept. Warren, she probably has some corruption going on, they all do but she seems like she would make a halfway decent leader. Trump on the other hand is up to his ears in corruption and I haven't seen many successes in his administration so far.
