How to Deal With Heartbreak...
So yeah, it's been a while, and I'm probably looking a lot like Conservative Man with this post, but I just went through an awful breakup and I need some help. I've never really had a father figure and I know this is pathetic, but this is the only place I've found good advice that I haven't had to figure out on my own...

Kind of worrying. No one should have the authority to control your property like that.

Genetic Engineering for monkeys, *by* monkeys?
People worry about technology taking over the planet. But now we've got cut-and-paste monkey DNA. If they make this easy enough for the monkeys to do themselves, we might find that they're not squeamish about global domination via genetically engineered super monkeys. http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/jan/30/genetically-modified-monkeys-cut-and-paste-dna-alzheimers-parkinsons

Scientific basis for communism
I can't find any evidence of a scientific basis for communism. Is it the case that communism requires historical determinism to be true though? Communism only seems to consider "false consciousness", a view that history is static, "class consciousness", a view that history is dynamic and deterministic, but makes no room for history being dynamic and unpredictable.

Ann Coulter Strikes Again! (And Boy Oh Boy Oh BOY...)
http://news.yahoo.com/gop-crafts-plan-wreck-country-lose-voters-230115398.html "It's terrific for ethnic lobbyists whose political clout will skyrocket the more foreign-born Americans we have...And it's fantastic for the Democrats...so they can completely destroy the last remnants of what was once known as "the land of the free." The only ones opposed to our current immigration policies are the people." ...Ah...who DOESN'T love some xenophobic immigrant-bashing? >:(
obiwanobiwan (248 D)
30 Jan 14 UTC
And if I were a Republican...I think I'd have to be pretty pissed.

THIS is why you lose elections, Conservative America.

Excise people like Ann Coulter from your ranks, and maybe, just maybe, the rest of us WON'T see the Republican Party as a xenophobic, homophobic organization that sees things in black and white...

And hates that "black" part, or anything resembling it.

On another note--fellow Democrats...

Excise radical Leftists as well.

MODERATES are what's needed...and I applaud any effort to try and create a government that, you know, actually WORKS and doesn't shut down because partisan politics have soured to the point of insanity.

Ted Cruz is the problem just as much as Nancy Pelosi is.

MSNBC and FOX are disgusting echo chambers that shouldn't even be classified as "news outlets" so much as sycophantic echo chambers.

(I'd include CNN in that, but really...does anyone eve care about CNN?)

But go ahead, Ann Coulter...bash immigrants...

Bash immigrants in a country that so proudly claims to be "a country of immigrants."

Go ahead and bash them--they'll have the last laugh, and laugh all the way towards creating a better America...one, hopefully, devoid of your xenophobic, homophobic, anti-evolution drivel and disgusting lack of integrity.

Your point about Cruz and Pelosi is well-taken, I just think that the call for MODERATES might be misplaced. Moderate has become a $5 word for somebody who doesn't ever make other people angry - but sometimes that's exactly what's needed. don't you think?

"We've had our fill of that."

No...I'd say we've had our fill of hard-line partisan politics that go so far as to shut down the federal government rather than actually have a civilized discussion...

But then, you being as hard-line and partisan as they come, I guess you would prefer that, wouldn't you?

Because who wants a government that has a debate and votes according to what they think is best, rather than right along party lines?

After all...isn't the one thing the Founders said they WANTED was Political Parties?

...Oh...wait...

Yeah, moderates, who support or tolerate the drug war, and drones, and foreign adventurism, and the repression of civil liberties, and the gigantic military, and the big business-big government alliance, and cronyism, and official or unofficial pardons for lawbreaking among the government and corporate elite, and mass incarceration, and agricultural subsidies, and tax breaks for the wealthy and connected, and police abuses. That's what we need.

There aren't extreme leftists in the democrat party to nearly the same extent as extreme conservatives in the Republican party, so that's just a silly false equivalency.
That's entirely a matter of a wholly subjective definition of extreme

Also anybody extrapolating Ann Coulter's antics -- which are explicitly calculated to make her money -- to any relevant political movement today is an idiot

The big-name assholes on both sides ruin both parties.

On the right are O'Reilly, Boehner and the like.

On the left are Pelosi, Obama, Biden, etc.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right.

And we're all stuck in the middle getting assraped.
Putin33 (111 D)
30 Jan 14 UTC
False equivalence much? There is graphic evidence, as in roll call votes, showing how extreme the GOP is relative to the Democratic Party.

Just look at the Republican Study Committee's growth. Once a fringe group in Congress, now it is the entire leadership and most of the new members.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))

Well what you misunderstand, Putin, is that I dislike all politicians. They're (as a whole) corrupt, ill-informed, misguided, short-sighted, greedy, and have no integrity.

Burn it all down.
