  1.  @tobybrown1179  Rubbish. Are you a bot?

  2. I like what you said but it doesn't take away the negatives. And some of those negatives were on display in Iraq and are still on display in many countries. As Sam Harris has often said, "bad ideas lead to bad actions". As much as I yearn for a peaceful world, Sam's words always hit home. The problem is that in many religious texts, there are good ideas and bad ideas and no way to unambiguously determine which of those ideas are wrong. I have spoken to Muslims about these things and they tell much nothing is wrong. We saw clearly in Iraq that the dominant Islamic group at one time believed the peaceful parts were wrong and we all saw the results.

  3.  @raylax7056  Do you realise that refering to Trump as "Drumpf" adds nothing to your argument but does make you seem somewhat moronic and disingenuous?

  4. My opinion for what it's worth as an outsider.... Trump said and tweeted a lot of silly stuff (which fueled the TDS) but on the big importent stuff... he was right. Middle East peace, the economy, China, moving the Embassy to Jerusalem, the border wall, woke issues, Iran, so much.

  5.  @hairydude1950  That was pretty stupid.

  6. No he wasn't. Jordan is just a whole lot more polite. Dyson made no good arguments, he just played on people's emotions. That's all the woke have. He waffled on about not wanting to be put in a group but that's all his side does. He then played the victim and attacked Jordan by making unfounded claims. None of that looked good.

  7. Except that's not what is happening. You're exhibiting a lack of understanding and/or being disingenuous.

  8.  @stevejhkhfda  You're being undeservingly polite to someone (sprat) who appears to have a complete lack of empathy. I would describe sprat as a self-opinionated prat. Time he started listening instead if talking.

  9. ​ @retiresoon5639 Some countries just have strucker consumer laws etc. Doesn't stop trade, it just increases quality and safety. Just follow the rules. Australia is the same. Strict import rules are not tarrifs, and nor are "normal" taxes, tarrifs as some have argued e.g. VAT. There is taxes in American goods.

  10.  @Mr_Smith618  I wish there had been a real anti-bullying program at my school. I was bullied mercilessly through school from start to finish. I dropped out because of bullying. There was no way to stand up to them. Bullies were the big strong kids or they operated in groups and I was the skinny kid. And when it wasn't physical, it was psychological. Bullying destroyed who I should have been. I still suffer from numerous social phobias and anxiety disorders 50 years on. I've never recovered.

  11. More related to a far-left political world view than to atheism but as a grouping, SJWs do exhibit an irrational cult like 'them and us' behavior.

  12. That's because they're not a tool of others. They're very much a disparate movement of like minded antiestablishment types and anarchists positioned on the political far left who hate the world as it is. They're a law unto themselves.

  13. What racist comments? I've read around 100 and haven't seen one yet.

  14. I also noticed it but everyone is human and with that comes bias. No one is immune.

  15. So you don't have anything sensible to add?

  16.  @teresarenee3829  The media are incompetent. That's all.

  17.  @UserName-rf5zs  And we are all human on this side. Pity we can't all live in peace.

  18. ​ @x-LINX-x That sounds like BS. More likely, the US would use toxic labels.

  19. As I see it, Biden mucked the Afghanistan withdrawal and now he's done it again with this one. And they say Trump was incompetent? Biden's announcement took away the only major deterrent in my opinion.

  20. Supply and demand would be one reason. Teams compete for the best players because it's all about winning. To put e.g. police officers on football player salaries would be impossible economically.

  21. I don't understand the "antiracist" term. Seems redundant.

  22. I'd figured out antifa were fascists years ago but not because I'm anything special. It's because I've been keeping an eye on the far left for over a decade. Their ability to infiltrate and affect society in a negative way scares the hell out of me. But yes, Andy Ngo is doing a great job in spreading awareness of these issues.

  23. People have their own agency. Jordan Peterson is not responsible for the actions of others. The caller is obviously an idiot.

  24. There has to be a hierarchy of roles. I don't see a problem with it. I don't want to be a manager. Others do. It's not always about haves and have nots.

  25. The woke mob need to stop grouping people by gender and race. They are in fact the new sexists and racists. And in thus debate, Dyson was a disgrace in my opinion.

  26. A brilliant and thought provoking comment. I would rather that we were color blind so to speak. I'm a white guy who married a beautiful asian lady 33 years ago and we're still in love. I never gave "race" a thought until recent times when the aggressive woke movement started dividing us..

  27. Sounds fine to me.

  28. Most scary is the thought that he actually believes what he says.

  29. Islam like Christianity is wide open to interpretations. There is no such thing as "Islam Teaches" else there wouldn't be different schools of thought... everyone from the most moderated to the most extreme claim to have it right. Christianity is no different. I was a Christian for 35 years, every group claimed they were right. I discovered none were right. Religions are all like that.

  30. He's probably referring to the Madrid summit in 1997 when three countries were invited into NATO. That's clearly an expansionist move. So he's correct.

  31. Depends on what you mean by discriminatory? Obviously people notice skin color, hair color, eye color, height, weight, sex etc. But it's how people act on those observations that matter.

  32. Yes, we need to be able to identify the assholes on both sides and there are plenty on both sides.

  33. They're important issues that require a solution.

  34. I would suggest most left-wing protesters don't know why they're protesting. They're like sheep.

  35. Only 13 mins in and this guy's ludicrously disingenuous description of the pandemic response has destroyed any credibility I assumed he had. One can hold to conservative ideas as I do without peddling far right propaganda. Dissapointing.

  36. The comments are full of bs. Sadly, it's par for the course in most comment sections.

  37. Atheism never died. Atheist is just a word describing one's position on god claims. Atheism follows.

  38. Care to enlighten us?

  39. NATO is not "edging closer" NATO is not a thing the moved like Russia's army is doing. It's just an agreement between a number of free nations. Clue: why is NATO necessary?

  40. I can only assume you're misunderstanding the concepts because I get nothing like that from this discussion. My employer employs me because I have the skills and experience they require. It's that simple. What would be the alternative?

  41. Freedom isn't a right. It's a mistake to believe that. Rights are nothing more than declarations and are subject to the authorities under which one lives. That's why many people have to fight for them.

  42. Jesus is most likely a myth. Jordan is real

  43. Perhaps he hasn't figured them out yet? The woke can be pretty stealthy.

  44.  @whousa642  Having fun trolling?

  45. I lack a belief in a god because I haven't seen any evidence of a God.... so that makes my view of reality incoherent? Why?

  46. Depends on how you define "free". There is no such thing as total freedom. There can't be. There will always be a set of limitations and restrictions. There has to be.

  47. Same thing happened to me except it was due to bullying. Took me 25 years to catch up. I finally entered my chosen career at age 40.

  48. ​ @jamaicanboy342 That's your delusion. It comes from a belief that America is better at everything it's not. I don't give a toss about America, nor to want anything from it. Especially while that big orange clown is running it.

  49. Not really.

  50. I can answer that in one sentence. He is not spiritual and consistent with his non spiritual atheistic world view, he rightly mocks religious nonsense.
