Ethnicity =/ culture, though it can be a part of a culture.

Can you demonstrate that cultural diversity was a "big part" of America's foundation?

I keep hearing that cultural diversity is a good thing. I have yet to have anyone explain to me why it's a good thing. I see lots of evidence that it leads directly to violence as two distinct and competing cultures compete for supremacy. If we could manage to avoid the violence or the destruction of one cultures norms in deference to another, which has never happened on a wide scale, I could be persuaded that it's a neutral thing. But I'd like to see evidence that it's objectively good. Any takers?

As you attribute malice, yet again. You're cutting an absurdly cartoonish figure these days, Gary.

Thats not hatred, you dope. That's disgust and earned disrespect. You think it's hatred because you attribute malice to everything libertarians, Republicans, and conservatives do. Which is, again, more mounting evidence of my earlier claims.

You're from Vermont and you fart a lot? Ladies and gentleman, I've discovered a sapient cow right here on our own message board!

That's tremendous leadership.

Not "tough" to see. Incapable of being seen. In other words, Gary couldn't actually detect any hate coming from me, but, named me hateful anyway, exactly as I described, for which Gary named me a liar. I demonstrated no hatred, as Gary himself admits, and yet Gary named me hateful only several posts, and mere minutes after calling me a liar for pointing out that it's common practice here for liberals to call libertarians, Republicans, and conservatives hateful. You can't make this **** up.

... ALOL I actually really laughed out loud. Your quibble, and the reason you named me a liar, isn't because those things haven't been said in the general public forum by liberal thought leaders and mouth pieces, and echoed right here on this board, because you know that they have, and are; it's because I used hyperbole to make a point about how recent and constant the barrage has been, and used the phrasing "10 minutes". You're a true national treasure, Gary. Don't ever change.

We ardent alt-right neo-fascists have that tendency. Apologies.

I'll just sit back and wait for folks to post examples of all of these things. It won't take long. You have no where to hide, Gary. Name me a liar and I'll burn you with the truth.

Hardly. Since you don't seem to know how message boards work, I'll explain it to you. People type in words, and then they type the "Submit Reply" button. The message board the saves the words people type, compartmentalizing them to the user who posted them, and saves them into conversation strings called "threads". These "threads" actually archive the things people say in perpetuity, fully searchable. Among these archived conversations you'll find many examples of both our board's own vocal liberal presence, as well as many prominent political figures, news makers, pundits, etc. making these exact claims; all sourced right here, to our little home. But I'm intellectually dishonest and a liar? !@#$ you, you hack. It's too bad you can't purchase self-awareness on Amazon, because I'd send you some post haste.

That's odd. I remember like 10 minutes ago when I was a literal Nazi white supremacist who wanted to starve the poor, marginalize people of non-European descent, bash gays, bathe in the blood of the elderly, and take away people's access to healthcare for kicks. Live by the sword, die by the sword, Gary.

Debt doesn't speak to held assets, it speaks to specific debt. They may well have been leveraged to the tune of 16m due to mortgages etc. but that doesn't create an accurate picture of their finances. Clinton is playing word games to drive sentiment and narrative. Remember, this is that same guy who staked a legal claim on the definition of "is".

Everyone raise your hand if you're in any way surprised that a Clinton thinks they're owed something.

It almost makes me wonder where "Mother Nature" falls in the intersectionality hierarchy. You know some !@#$ is going to make that case at some point.

It's exactly that simple.

In the United States we have a very different view on restrictions on the press and on speech. The First Amendment of our Constitution protects both. Your legal system seems more designed to protect the government from being impeded in it's business than to protect it's citizens from the government in this regard, which is what so many here find so abhorrent. It appears, from all reasonable perspectives, that your government sought to simply put an end to someone they saw as extremely inconvenient towards it's desired ends. This is evidenced by the fact that other major news outlets were commenting on the case, and none of them were jailed. You are losing your culture to globalists, and you aren't even allowed to discuss it. And if you do, you'll be hustled off to be murdered in jail.

After reading I'm taking Italy as the birth place of the next autocratic dictator in the pool.

I'm a fan of www.duckduckgo.com. They're privacy advocates who do not save your search history.

These sorts of "pride" events always bother me. I get the genesis of them, and I understand there was a time (and maybe to some degree we're still in that time period, though stigmas and bigotry have obviously decreased) when this sort of event was necessary to show people who may have been closeted that it's OK to be who you are, and that you absolutely should not be ashamed of the way God made you;and also to demonstrate, en masse, both for purpose of safety and optics, that there was/is a sizable gay community in the country/world, and that they would not/will not be silenced or hidden away by bigots. It's just that I have a problem with people taking "pride" in things they have done nothing to earn. Why would someone be proud to be an American, unless of course they immigrated here and had to go through the painstaking efforts of becoming an American? Why would someone feel proud of being white? You did nothing to be white. The same goes for black, brown, and yellow people. You expended no effort. This was not some achievment. You were **** out into this world with the color of your skin and became you by chance. Along the same line, why would you be proud of being gay? Or straight? None of this was your choice. It's not some grand achievement. Taking pride in being part of an identity group is divisive because it necessarily involves "othering". Have your parade. I'll support you. I'll even march in solidarity with you. But lose the "pride" mantle please.

Judging by the article in question, I'd say it's the "fiction" part.

I know it's not incorrect, but reading it in that order grates on me in the same way "jelly and peanut butter sandwich" does.

No, Joe. It's not. Unless they are an informed part of the apparatus, it is not. It's just people voicing a different opinion than you. Again, if someone has committed an actual crime, you prosecute. Beyond that, you live with the idea that free people are allowed to disagree with each other, even if they are wrong.

Actually, Joe, apparently I can't play nicely with you, as you seem to be of a persuasion which feels it's OK to round up political dissidents and punish them for thought crimes. That's absolutely despicable, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You're no different from those you oppose.
