You guys just spent about a page attempting to logic Bruce. He is impervious!

One of the problems in our modern secularized culture is that metaphor is lost on so many... Golden age? Arguably in some aspects for some, sure. But that's arguable in almost any era of history. For western civilization or humanity as a whole? Hell no.

Well, as she says, men generally are not allowed to say it. They're deemed sexist, misogynist, etc. And in the case of Dr. Smith's surroundings, news companies generally do not hire real men as their talking heads. Only puppet wussies that tow the line, either on their own because they believe the BS or via sold soul. Hell, at the moment the manliest man I can think of that is a semi mainstream talking head is Milo Yiannopoulos, and he happily refers to himself as something we can't say on this forum due to it being subject to insane PC BS. And that said, one cannot lay any criticism on any 'group' or person deemed to be of a 'group' without being called some kind of hater by many of the masses, unless of course one is in that 'group', but then more oft than not one is called a 'self hating X' or something similar. We are in the opposite of an intellectual renaissance, arguably very well on our way to a new dark age. The good news is that the backlash to all the insanity is growing more all the time, so perhaps there is some hope for humanity at large. The bad news is that the cost on society at large, as well as millions of individuals is quite high and very real. The destruction of the western family and relationships between men and women overall has been devastating (whether that backlash is too late to have a real positive impact, is too soon to tell, though I sadly suspect it may be). Evidence of this is everywhere, though probably most easily pointed to in the birth rates, divorce rates, lack of marriage rates, and welfare rates in the west. 3rd and 4th wave feminism have more than a little to do with this, arguably even some aspects of 1st and 2nd. Of course, a lot of folks like to either stick their head in the sand on all of this, or just plain don't understand it. Those folks would probably say I'm sexist, and that's the end of their thinking. Those folks would gleefully and hypnotically watch Nero fiddle.

Don't? They already did...

Did someone do that here? Not that I'm aware of, though there has been blind support for such a person expressed here.

You not of which you speak sir.

You really should learn yourself some history sir. The Nazis weren't near as bad as you make them out to be. You're better to compare the modern insanity to the Stasi, Cheka, or KGB. It is indeed cultural Marxism we're talking about here. That said, we're in somewhat uncharted territory, as the proliferation of much of the modern insanity you're often justifiably railing against has not ever been so widely plentiful in recorded history. Nor is the ultimate outcome of it's use to undermine a society's culture and ideals known. We've had this stuff degenerating the west now for longer than the Nazis existed. In other words, some of the **** that is going on right now would make even a Nazi cringe.

The author's brain is at least slightly broken is why. Disjointed thoughts lead to disjointed communication.

It's still thoughtcrime. It's still evil.

When myth meets innocent morons meets oppressive government. History repeating itself indeed.

She loses again! A dem columnist gets worried.

Woops! I posted in the wrong thread. My deepest apologies everyone. I fixed my post!

It's that anti-LBGT bathroom law that got passed in North Carolina. It's not 'anti-LBGT', it's 'anti-T' if anything. Ls, Bs, and Gs have nothing to do with it. Also, it's 'LGBT', not 'LBGT'. It works actually also against LGB part and lots of other people also http://nclawyersweekly.com/2016/03/30/hb2-eliminates-cause-of-action-for-workplace-discrimination/ See... I actually bothered to read the the Acts, rather than the inciteful BS that is most articles out there discussing the issue. It's not a long read: http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2015E2/Bills/House/PDF/H2v4.pdf It doesn't change anything for Ls, Gs, Bs, Ss (straight folks), or As (asexuals) in regards to any such folk being affected based on the fact that they are Ls, Gs, Bs, Ss, or As. Might they be affected because of something else? Sure, but very probably not. Overall it's a very innocuous piece of legislation without any real teeth. The only reason it's making the news is that it makes a point over biological sex. The issue at the national level is a red herring.

Pink Floyd is one of a few bands who have created a great album that in essence is just one big awesome song. They are perhaps the only which has created a few of them. This is my personal fave, musically and thematically.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmKvM_Q4jKM

If you can tell the ideology of your history professor/teacher, they are a bad professor/teacher, if you can easily do so, they are abysmal. If you don't have a good mind of your own and a good alternative for a more neutral source of information on history (this is true of most other subjects too, but it is especially of import with history) then yes, you are going to be brainwashed. This is especially true if you are young, as the young are almost never natively equipped to question the information they are being given from an authority figure (and a significant number of adults never develop the equipment). The brainwashed almost never realize that they are brainwashed. Near the only time that ever happens is when the bubble bursts, after one bubble bursts it's easier for some to see through the others. [We all had some brainwashing in K-12, the curriculum is designed for it, and there are a number of myths that are generally taught as fact (and hence commonly believed; I used to believe some of them too)] The best history teachers and professors I ever had, I couldn't tell you to this day what their own ideology was. I was lucky in that I had a few that were great (two of my U.S. History teachers, and my professor on ancient Greece/Rome (a 3 semester venture) were particularly awesome. I also had a flaming blue Constitutional History professor once though. One of only three teachers/professors I ever had from K-College that didn't like me (I questioned him a bit too much and bluntly for his liking).
