It might help a SJW understand why some cultures prospered and others didn't...and it has nothing to do with racial superiority.
It's pretty well researched actually...CID1990 wrote:I read that bookIbanez wrote:A book to read and comprehend?

It is a really big opinion piece - and you'll find it on many SJW's bookshelves because there are many ways to take it
the literate ones, who have bookshelves, that is

It reminds me of all those Sun Tzu books on peoples' coffee tables in the 1980sChizzang wrote:It's pretty well researched actually...CID1990 wrote:

This is a top 5 book I'd require Americans (not just teenagers) to read. Even people all the way up in the ivory towers of social science.JohnStOnge wrote:

90% of them never read it (like the Bible) but they want you to see they have it- proudly displayed

It's easy to forget there are still right-wing coastal elites too....According to conservative commentator George Will in 2017:
Witness became a canonical text of conservatism. Unfortunately, it injected conservatism with a sour, whiney, complaining, crybaby populism. It is the screechy and dominant tone of the loutish faux conservatism that today is erasing [William F.] Buckley’s legacy of infectious cheerfulness and unapologetic embrace of high culture. Chambers wallowed in cloying sentimentality and curdled resentment about “the plain men and women” — “my people, humble people, strong in common sense, in common goodness” — enduring the “musk of snobbism” emanating from the “socially formidable circles” of the “nicest people” produced by “certain collegiate eyries.”[42]

I didn’t find it “sour or whiney.” Nor did Bill Buckley himself, who was strongly influenced by it. It is a powerful work. Will is a prissy old schoolmarm. He has become increasingly whiney with age.kalm wrote:Interesting...Ivytalk wrote:Witness by Whittaker Chambers

So you're saying you don't believe the testimony of the New Book..?
That surprises me Joe, it's coming straight from the source

Wiki is okay...You also misunderstand the intent of trolling. The idea is to get the other person riled up. There's a number of masters on here, just observe any of them.JoltinJoe wrote:First catch.Silenoz wrote:

If you could have only inserted links in response to questions on college exams, you might be a Harvard graduate today.Chizzang wrote:JoltinJoe wrote:

But don't forget http://www.mormon.org
which is super handy when you want just the straight dope on Jesus and the modern day revelations
It's filled with the latest facts about Jesus

I have no regrets regarding my time there
That said...
I'm not sure that I would advise anybody else to behave as I did
It doesn't bother me that to poke at that, I did what I did
