Democrat or Republican?

Grecio comments on Oct 17, 2018:

I voted republican even though Trump acts like a deranged idiot. I think he is doing some good things. The democrats have gone off the deep end. Of course we need to tighten out borders. The economy is doing very well.We are not in any new wars. Of course, I believe in freedom of choice for ...

genessa replies on Oct 17, 2018:

our borders were already tight. the people being imprisoned right now are mostly legitimate asylum-seekers who did not cross the border illegally. they presented themselves properly at the border and were promptly taken into custody and had their children removed from them. this violates international law. i know some muslims. they have no assimilation problems. the only people crying for sharia law are evangelical christians, only they don't call it that. we democratic liberals have no intention of giving the country away. that's a good, albeit untrue, talking point, not a fact. assault allegations, NOT without a boatload of evidence actually, aside, kavanaugh has been proven to have lied about material issues in his LAST hearings, has been shown to have lied in his recent hearings, received and knowingly forwarded stolen information, was involved in a torture program, and has shown his temperament to be so ridiculously inappropriate for ANY bench that it's amazing that he was a judge at all. a nominee has no inherent right to be approved. the senate has a right to complete information about any nominee, and most of the normal information any other nominee would have had available to the senate was blocked for no reason... except that it would've spoken against his approval. it's not about unsubstantiated allegations. it's about the whole picture. and he WILL try to reverse roe v wade, and he might just succeed. he stands against all the things you say you are not against. in fact most of what you say you're not against, trump and the republicans ARE against. trump isn't acting like a deranged idiot. he IS a deranged idiot. what good things is he doing, besides destroying our relationships with our allies and cozying up to dictators, tearing families apart for the expressed purpose of deterring immigration, ANY immigration, and calling nazis "fine people"? g

Hmm. It seems the Fascists, masquerading as Republicans have identified the least powerful (marginalized) group in which to go after first to slowly them of their rights. In 1930's Europe the first group targeted was the jews. In the U.S., today, it is the Native Americans.

Do You Believe The Apollo 11 Moon Landing Actually Happened?

genessa comments on Oct 17, 2018:

genessa replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@twshield yep often. so how do you know which is and which isn't? there is visual documentation of the moon landing. but i will tell you what i have no documentation of at all: your ability to hold an argument that makes sense. i am not trying to be offensive. i am stating an observation. i have stuff to do today (i cannot document that; you'll have to trust me.) i don't work for the government (any more) and i am not concerned with legal documentation of anything we've been discussing. i'm going to leave you to your incorrect apprehension of the moon landing. it is not actually my job to prove to you that it happened, and i suspect you would poo-poo the proof anyway if i had it. since i was not personally involved in it, i have nothing for you to poo-poo. g

@Bierbasstard they swear it's up to the sender. the sender is a horrible outfit too, but i really like the phone and i really want my guy to have it. i can't wait to customize it for him, and find out where on the phone it is so he can look it up whenever he needs to tell someone his phone number. i want to move on from the delivery phase (and the activation phase too, while we're at it). i didn't think anyone could suck worse than tracfone (but we can't afford anything else) and here is fedex vying for the we-suck championship. the two of them together: unbeatable. they get the baby-poop ribbon for worst sucking. g

genessa replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@twshield then everything that happened out of your eye- and earshot is unbelievable. every time someone tells you a personal experience, you need to disbelieve it because that person hasn't proven his/her assertion. i lived for 10 years in japan and i can't prove to you 100 percent that i did, so i might be lying (i'm not) and so you will assume i AM lying (just as you assume the moon landing is a lie). sorry, but this is 1. your business, what you believe but also 2. ridiculous. g

genessa replies on Oct 17, 2018:

no one has ever accused isaac asimov of being unscientific, and here is what he said later in life: “I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.”

genessa replies on Oct 17, 2018:

@brentan there should be no such thing as being too poor to vote. the constitution doesn't guarantee voting rights only to citizens who have a certain amount of money. poll taxes are illegal. making restrictive voter i.d. laws that force people to spend money, or lose money if they have to leave work to go to a distant city to get documentation (which isn't free) to present to get their "free" voter i.d. (when a driver's license, state-issued school i.d., military i.d. or other state-issued i.d. always sufficed before -- and when a gun license is happily accepted because the republicans assume, correctly or not, that gun owners will vote red) or to said distant city even to register because the dmvs have been closed in minority neighborhoods and college towns, is tantamount to making poll taxes. g
