For me, the major problems we face as a country, in my view, get little shrift or serious attention from politicians and partisans.  They prefer to bring up what I view as small issues to debate instead, for obvious reasons.  The major problems don't have partisan solutions, broadly speaking, they really don't have practicable solutions as things stand.  So, we muddle along, screaming at each other about "trivia", in a relative sense.

Ignore the man behind the curtain.

Ah another edict tossed down from Mount Olympus by the Oracle. If Badger Fan is ignorant you're lost in a sea of shit and concede the debate with that desperate retort

In my view, this is entirely unwarranted and inappropriate, and also yet another sign you are unable to discuss a topic seriously without resorting to personal attacks and over generalizations because you get frustrated your posts are "misunderstood".

It was my attempt at doing what  MrNubbz did.  I think I succeeded.
It had nothing to do with being misunderstood, but being personally attacked on the 'no personal attacks' thread.  ;)

 Nice jab tinkerbell,you being a rear admiral and evidently don't like waiting in line. Testy,crestfallen tart lost in a frenzy of destructive dialogue/discourse right up until the point where you post that brilliant little farce of a 'comedy'.

 Thanx just more ammo to copy and paste to send off to the Arizona State Board of Education that this is what lurks with in their ranks and how desperate they must be. I've already cached worse if one can imagine

  Now only if the guy you were just calling ignorant a couple of pages back would just give me your e-mail address on file I could send this off and get it out of my job jar 😈

Do threats count as attacks?  Even if they're cartoonish and empty?

One can choose tit for tat and the discussion will spiral down to a cess pool of irrelevance and become locked, again.

Or one can post one's opinions and facts for serious discussion.

The weather here got pretty cool, which is nicer than hot to me.  It's cloudy and some rain forthcoming I think.  Good day to walk around, check out the market down the street, and see what's afoot and have a nice brunch somewhere.  My wife will be wearing some kind of coat, I'll be in shorts and a T shirt.

My watch says 68°F.  The bar next to us sounds pretty lively.

What We Know about Artificial Food Dyes and Health as RFK, Jr., Declares a U.S. Ban | Scientific American

[font=Crimson Text, Crimson Temp: Georgia]“It’s not just about one type of ingredients; it’s about every ingredient that’s in there,” Melanson says. “If it's all tunnel vision on one factor without considering these other potential risk factors—the excess of sodium and sugar and processing, lack of fiber, lack of fortifying nutrients—then we might be missing some aspects.”[/font][/color]

Semantics.


It was effectively abolished by the pro-crime party, they have blood on their hands.
By semantics, you mean, “reality.” There are still people on federal death, and the admin can push for the federal penalties. 

Also, the blood on hands doesn’t really make sense unless you’re being dramatic. The logic that unless the killer isn’t killed, the blood is actually on the hands of the people who don’t kill them? Doesn’t follow. 

It’s sort of funny, I assumed when this place opened up to more politics, I assumed we’d get some nuance and policy talk. Instead when something starts down a policy road, it veers into a ditch of heated rhetoric. I suppose that’s why politics are what they are.
