and this is why religion has to go. how the fuck this archaic thought process still dominates modern society is beyond me, but i cannot see a way out of this until religion is stomped into the ground by any means necessary. it is literally one of the top three roadblocks to a humane world.

the great touring jam bands provided a wonderful environment to meet new people in back in the 90’s. the parking lots of grateful dead and phish concerts were chock full of society’s misfits, many of them well-read and witty (some of them not-so-much). It was not introverted at all - there were so many outgoing, lively, and fun people.

i think many of you are more outgoing than you give yourself credit for. you just live in a world where you don’t want to mingle with the inhabitants, and i think that might even reflect a skewed view of the outside world. i’m pretty far left and i still have fun in bars in little ranch towns in the western states. most of those people are more fun than your average morose, urban-dwelling shoe gazer.

But the graduation percentages are all that matters.

capitalism ruins everything. this is literally the money changers in the temple. the only temple that actually matters.

and while i agree that people should get a proper liberal education, higher learning has been watered down to accommodate all the idiots that don’t want to be there but have to have a degree to join the workforce. there are people who actually want to deep dive into their studies but are subjected to dumbed down classes.

so there’s a part of me that doesn’t want them to be there. honestly, i think people should take trade courses for certification and leave higher learning to those who are higher learners.

and both should be free.

and you should have to pass a knowledge test in order to vote.

thank you. i’m glad somebody has a memory longer than last week. this also feeds right back into my belief that it is not the politicians that are the problem (they’re just a symptom), it’s conservatives in general. if we are going to live in a society, they have to be removed from it.

good luck with either.

i expect the idiots to vote for him. the real collective stupidity is that the left seems to have no intention to put up a fight against these morons. apparently, if we lose the election, then “oh well, let me lay my head down so you can mash my face in with your boot”. it really sucks having limp-wristed do-nothings as allies.

exactly. we have to stop them from voting. i don’t care how it gets done, but we really don’t have a choice. they have to be stopped.

i don’t think it matters what their problem is. the solution is just to remove their ability to have a say in democracy.

nobody’s going to do that. i guess we’re all dumb because we don’t like your favorite band. grow up.

you’re a one trick pony. you just say “read marx” and strut around like that meant something. people don’t have to read marx to have valid opinions. i hope you can grow up to discover other things.

i’m absolutely serious.

you have to round up not only the people that peddle this shit but the people that are gullible enough to believe it and get them far away from the gears of society. i don’t care how you do it, or where they end up, or how it gets done, but it’s obvious that we cannot have a functioning society with these people in it.
