The Box of Chocolates Thread (You never know what you're going to get!)
Welcome to the General Discussion thread. If you have a topic that doesn't warrant its own thread, post it here. Have a free form discussion going that no longer fits in the original thread? It may be moved here to give it a place to wander. Also, general chit chat is welcome!

On that note: Happy new year
The best part of washoe entering a conversation is when he says something that is objectively incorrect, is shown that it's incorrect, agrees that it's incorrect, and then declares he was right all along. Never gets old.
I would be fine with the things you mention having lesser punishments. But universal life sentences for violent crimes with no exceptions would still be far better than what we have now.
JESUS. MOTHER. ****ING. CHRIST.
I knew you were a misanthropic, contrarian, know-nothing loser, but I didn't realize just how actively evil you are. Holy ****.
Rush Limbaugh may have died, but his humor and spirit live on! Sick joke, bud. Classic humor.
Nobody to the left of ****in' Don Imus would have said such a thing. Just ****in' fulfill your destiny and go elect Republicans or Tories or whatever ghoul group exists in wherever you happen to live.
My brother in Christ, have you considered yoga?
And it's very cool and funny to see the usual customers caping for literal Nazi-adjacent 57 on Red.
He doesn't directly criticize you lot like I do, certainly not in my kind of harsh terms, and that has sufficed to fool you all into thinking he's some friendly bloke with decent opinions who's just here to chop it up!
This guy is far to the right of Boris Johnson, or Donald Trump, or whatever other popular figure in the right-wing. He's far t
Ok, I see. And what is his rationale behind choosing a small corner of the internet where a handful of middle aged dudes go to shoot the **** about politics and clown on each other to carry out this dastardly plan?
I don't think yoga is going to stop me from hating people who make rightwing Twitter-style jokes about how ****ing Joe Biden and the Democratic Party is Communist.
I do wish that the Dems were one-tenth as cool as you centrists and righties make them out to be...
Joe Biden, classic Communist. Is this the state of our discourse? Ouch.

Good old Uncle Joe.

One of your and Victor's heroes, I believe.
In any case, the joke wasn't just that the dude I proposed was communist, it was also that he was either lying or insane. So don't read too much into it before you go off on one calling me the Grand Wizard or whatever.

I don't think he's engaging in some "plan" for this forum, dastardly or otherwise. He's just smart enough to understand he'll get banned if he tells the forum what he really thinks. Nazis can enjoy shooting the **** and clowning on each other too.

Ok, well, thanks for the info, detective. Consider your case notes... noted.
No, Stalin is not anywhere close to my hero. He was brutally repressive. I don't think he's worse than numerous western leaders, per se, but I've definitely never supported him.
You can be a Marxist without caping for the Soviets. Marx died decades before the Russian Revolution. Marx was just a pundit, basically, a bad-ass genius of a pundit who was way, way ahead of his time.
The Death of Stalin was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Steve Buschemi plays Nikita Khrushchev and that's only like the 8th funniest thing about it.
Ok, good, not a Stalin fan, although apparently he was better than some (unnamed) western leaders. We're making slow and steady progress, long road ahead though.
That film was brilliant, have to agree.

Wow. 😮
Never thought I'd like one of your posts but...here we are. 😀 Jason Isaacs deserves serious props as well he was hilarious in it.😆
lol pretty good
Your logic fail is thinking I hold Western leaders in high regard.
The conversation about crimes and punishments that were in this thread have been extracted and put into their own thread, cleverly titled Crime and Punishment. So if you would like to continue thatvdiscussion, please go there.
We're still allowed to argue that gender is socially constructed and basically not real, right?
It is socially constructed. But lots of things are that are real. So Im not sure what you mean by basically not real.
It's about as real as nationality.
By "basically not real" I mean not a part of person's underlying psychological makeup-- it's artificially imposed on them, like nationality.
Really the psychiatrists are some of the last people that should be listened to on this subject.
