    What are you drinking?

    Black Lives Matter TOO

    How can it be said that the main problems black people have are mostly unrelated to police militarization, when it's a statistical fact that black people are massively over-represented in prison systems? Policies like the war on drugs, minimum sentencing laws, privatization of various law...

    Black Lives Matter TOO

    So all I say is that the statement is clear to me, and you spin that into a personal attack? Okay then.

    Ancient Aliens...

    What? I don't see how that has anything to do with me. I'm not a theist. Lots of claims, not a lot of evidence.

    The Trump Lump: How do you feel?

    There's a difference between economics and finance. And more narrowly, real estate finance. It's not unlike the difference between strategy and tactics.

    Should US Repeal Bill of Rights?

    Without reducing the impact of money on politics, and without reversing the wealth concentration that keeps happening, it's unlikely to reverse. The issue is interpreting how an amendment that was written about muskets in the 1700's should apply to weaponry that is orders of magnitude more...

    The Trump Lump: How do you feel?

    1991, 1992, 2004, and 2009. Doesn't seem to be improving much. He even said himself that bankruptcy is a useful tool that he uses. Those four instances were all corporate bankruptcy, not personal bankruptcy, although one of them did come close to personal bankruptcy. The people that end up...

    "All life matters." : combatting Truths with truths

    Saying "All Lives Matter" in this context is a good way to go back to doing pretty much nothing about any particular issue. We wouldn't want to bring focused attention to any particular issue so that people can focus on it and take a few steps towards actually improving it. Instead, we need...

    Can you "choose" you favorite color?

    I think we have the ability to force ourselves, through repetition, to like something more than we originally might, but that this ability is limited and somewhat unpredictable. To use the beer example, I used to not like it, and after drinking it enough, I'm kind of neutral on it at best. I...

    The GOP campaign

    That was rather disturbing.

    I am recovering from a stroke

    I'm sorry to hear that Heather. My thoughts are with you for a speedy and full recovery.

    Black Lives Matter TOO

    It always seemed pretty unambiguous to me, in context.

    Massive Bernie Sanders Rally Shut Down by Black Lives Matter

    I agree that Black Lives Matter, but that particular stunt was not classy.

    Ancient Aliens...

    There's a show on the "History" Channel called Ancient Aliens, and I saw like 10 minutes of it the other day. The argument literally went something like: -A large number of ancient cultures had snake gods in their pantheons, or dragons. -This is too big to be a coincidence. -Therefore...

    The Trump Lump: How do you feel?

    He did file for corporate bankruptcy four times though, all due to over-leveraging.

    What are you eating?

    Dark chocolate and white tea.

    The Trump Lump: How do you feel?

    I voted the second option. I'd never vote for him, but Santorum and Huckabee I think might be even worse options.

    Useless extra things sitting around affect brain and other abilities.

    I keep my living space and work space unusually empty/minimalist because I have a pet peeve about clutter. My father was a hoarder and most likely due to that, I went to the totally opposite end of the spectrum.

    Reason for income inequality. It's because there are people who work harder than you.

    It depends whether one refers to inequality to mean the existence of rich and poor, or whether one refers to inequality to mean the magnitude of that divide. The reasons for there to be rich and poor are numerous, including work ethic, intelligence, investment, education, geography, luck...
