Re: Saudis starve Yemem, declare war on Lebanon

Misleading title. No war has been declared, although there are indications Saudi Arabia is preparing for war. A blockade is an act of war. Though that’s Yemen and the only article posted I trust with any confidence is the BBC one. As for Lebanon, Israel must feel the need to mow their neighbors law...

Re: Saudis blockade Yemen, prepare for conflict with Lebanon

Lebanon must have repaired the infrastructure from Israel flattening it over a decade ago on a pretense. Hopefully conflict can be averted but history makes me doubtful.

So we’ll likely have even more extremism in any conflict’s wake leading to more attacks next decade. :|

If you're undecided about the original Nazis, yeah. If you're undecided about the Alt-Right and the "race realists" and other movements who take the trouble to wrap their views in weasel words and dodgy rationalisation to affect a veneer of respectability... Well, you're still a gullible ...

Re: It's Okay to be White

And by the way, I'm still waiting for Wild Zontargs to come to his own defense. Even You, Simon, admit he was trolling. It does no good for the forum if people get away with drive-by trolling.

That was unexpectedly explosive. Flagg, I accept that you're bailing out, if that's what you want, but I wish you wouldn't. I have a point that I think is getting bypassed, and it wasn't even about that Slate Star Codex post when I first made it. You may recall that someone else posted that. I may ...

Yes, but the minimum wage guy isn’t saying anyone owes him anything, he’s just tired of working so hard for so little and sees others, most notably privileged people, essentially skating by in comparison. He’s got a valid point because the way things are supposed to work in this country, what we ar...

Let me just quote an additional part of the article, the opening : I recently had a patient, a black guy from the worst part of Detroit, let’s call him Dan, who was telling me of his woes. He came from a really crappy family with a lot of problems, but he was trying really hard to make good. He was...

The BBC isn’t a State News Agency that cannot criticize the state and just serves as their mouthpiece. That’s the difference. As far as I can tell, this is unrelated to my point. The BBC can criticize the British government, but should be restrained in commenting on American politics. American medi...

A lot of this ties back to what I said in the post on the relatively recent New Atheism thread in SLAM (the one that was locked).

What kind of rhetoric though? You force them to up the ante and reveal their real goal by doing so. MRAs didn't get exposed for what they were by people reacting to the idea of "men's rights are important." The veil was lifted when the ante was upped and they started spewing their sexist ...

Its a moot point. We know the actual intent of the phrase, because it was posted to 4chan. They wanted to incite violence, and instead all that happened is the posters got taken down.

Even if this hasn't already happened with Trump (which is neither proven nor disproven), if we say "oh, what Trump's people did in 2016 was okay because it didn't change anything," sooner or later it will happen. If not with Russia, then with China, or Britain, or some other country that ...
