Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
Well at least you admit you think antisemitism and wiping Israel off the map (what the protestors are for) is alright.. Why would you think otherwise? In general, yes, protesting is perfectly fine and should be allowed. I do think there has been some overreach on the side of folks trying to quell t...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Well, if we (Americans) want that cheap, fall apart end table, and someone(s) are able to profit through the supply chain, who are you to tell us we can't have it because you can't figure out how it makes sense? It benefits us as a country because we want it at the price we pay for it. It benefits ...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
The ROI for WWII vets might have been 7:1. Do you really think the ROI for today's generations are anywhere near that? WWII vets would be ashamed that they'd borrowed money that they couldn't pay back. Yes, an educated workforce increases productivity and innovation but the focus of their education...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
It's not a 1:1 ROI. There are likely other programs with a higher ROI. Does the law of diminishing returns apply? Is part of the problem that people who took out these loans weren't smart consumers? Borrowing thousands of dollars to get a bachelors or higher degree in social work or similar or to a...

Re: January 6 - How much do you care?
Did they actually have gallows constructed? I don't remember that. I'm fine calling it an insurrection, no real argument there. It was certainly a violent mob and they certainly had it in their intent to block government action and to overturn the election. Luckily, they weren't large in numbers, l...

Thanks for posting the link to Berliner's article.

2000 years of entrenched bias, especially by major institutions like the Catholic Church (and I say that as a currently practicing Roman Catholic) are difficult to overcome.

Antisemitism , pure and simple. Two of the major religions of the world, Islam and Christianity, have fanned, if not outright advocated, antisemitism for the past two millenniums. Heck, the Catholic Church only stopped blaming the Jews for killing Christ back with Vatican 2 in the 60's. Couple all ...
