  1. “the problem is that the left attempts to use science as a basis to disqualify the faith of others,
    and when asked to show where their “faith” leads them,
    they can only answer: to nothing.”

    Legion- that’s your opinion, not the truth. Not even close. I know plenty of “leftists”, meaning liberals and moderates, and many of them are religious. So the fact that you can’t separate out the Leftist/Communist from the Leftist/Liberal means you don’t understand American politics all that well. Being left of center or liberal does not make one a communist, a socialist or the antichrist. Nor do you know much about atheism, agnosticism or humanism.

    this is what pisses me off with you. These pronouncements about what the left/liberals believe. You just don’t know. Period.

  2. On the forum, most recent post
    “Prices Near Park”
    Why are house prices lower near the park by the parade grounds then in Ditmas by Cortelyou?

    But when you click on it, it’s gone / Page not found.

    What’s up with that?

  3. Legion, you know the old saw about how the Lord Privy Seal is neither a lord, nor a privvy, nor a seal?

    Fake apricot sours at bar mitzvahs and now Lancelot Link. We did have the same childhood, CGar.

    I’m trying, here, cobble. The material is so difficult to work with, today. Biff would have punned long ago if trhere had been a decent opportunity.

    m4l, I responded for the last time, and I’m done. I’m not really looking for a fight with you, or Biff for that matter.”

    CGar,

    but I was. for entertainment only of course. It was a weak attempt but TextperV did try to defend you. maybe you should be nice to her for the rest of the day?

  5. >why advocate for a societal structure already proven to be flawed and worse. we’ve been working with quite a good societal design here in the USA,…
    why advocate for a system which is proven wrong.
    why not work within the current “proven” system to improve what’s working? it can be done.

    Reasonable. Devil’s in the details.

    ‘proven wrong’->disagree…rather say ‘the way it was implemented (in Russia, etc) was proven wrong’. Socialistic structure has worked well in the Scandinavian countries, France, etc. Don’t bring up current troubles, nothing to do with it, global and started by us here anyway.

    ‘good societal design here’->good for the haves, less so for the have-nots, and societal mobility is not enough to compensate unless you accept social Darwinism.

    >and when asked to show where their “faith” leads them,
    they can only answer: to nothing.

    A lot of lefties are religious too. Those who don’t believe don’t need to be ‘led’ to anything, that’s a faith-driven concept.
