I did. The Republican Party is against killing children in the womb.
It's more moral just based on that alone.
Just order a Macallan 18 or Macallan 25 and charge it to JDM. He’s good for it.
This reminds me of a video clip a friend sent me a couple years ago.
I'm far too individualist oriented to ever buy into any racialist view of the world. I think many things that people chalk up to race are actually cultural -- including a lot of which this guy discusses in the video. But the video is funny because it's a debate between two diametric racialist views of social order. If we're going to create a racial pecking order in the US by things like income and education, we would have to put Asians at the top of it.
There is no racial pecking order, of course. The entire notion is ridiculous. In a free society and economy, people of any race can be marvelously successful, people of any race can be worthless bums. But, anyway....
Agreed re cultural. It comports with many measures including lower crime rates
Macallan is for poseurs.
If you're going to indulge in Scotch, you should look for a Springbank, Clynelish, Ardbeg, or Caol Ila.
I am also against abortion and can find many Trumpian thoughts/actions which are grossly immoral
It says foreigners, not illegals. And we're not mistreating them. Giving them housing and food is a strange way to mistreat them.
Don’t tell me. Tell DANC, he’s the one JDM is covering. I’ll take Woodford or a nice Weller.
This is why you're a joke. You think making you a doctor makes you an expert on everything.
The Bible isn't a guide or aimed at governments. It's for people for their salvation. You evidently don't realize Jesus said the same thing.
You're like my brother-in-law, who was a surgeon. Total nerd, because all he did was study medicine. He was afraid of what others thought of him, so he bought all the woke shit. I remember when he told me more people had died from Covid than all the wars the US had been in - in December of 2020. lmao
For someone who didn't know how to cut and paste, you have no business telling anyone else they don't know shit.
It does, yes. But because there is so much overlap between race and culture, a lot of people confuse the two -- in ways both bad and good. But they'll often shy away from discussing these issues at all, for fear of saying something that might be construed as racial...and not just by other people.
I remember when the book "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" came out (the author, BTW, is the same Yale Law Professor who convinced JD Vance to write his book...and I think introduced him to his now wife), there was a lot of discussion about it. I didn't read it, but I did follow some of the discussion. And, having grown up with a number of Korean friends, it all sounded pretty familiar to me.
Their family dynamics were just different than mine. So much more structure and discipline. We put a lot more value on sports & leisure than they did. When my Korean friends weren't busy working on academics, they were working on computers or their musical instrument. And everything was regimented -- and I got a front row seat to it when I'd stay over at one of their houses. And that wasn't all that common, either -- because socialization was very different than it was with my white friends...and also my close friend who was black.
The key difference between my household and theirs wasn't racial, it was cultural. And I figured that out in grade school -- but there are grown-ass adults who can't make that distinction today.
Spot on. My daughter has had a very similar experience with Asians as we’re one of the three schools where the endless army of Wash u Asian profs phd post docs and drs send their kids
They’re awful for the curve
The bell curve was controversial as well

Wrong. I think reading and studying the Bible for most of my 54 years gives me some knowledge of the text. God through direct communication with a very few and with revelation thru his son gives pretty good guidelines on how to live to please him. Belief in Jesus is the only way to eternal salvation, but by proclaiming Jesus as personal savior, we assume a lot of responsibilities on living the Christian life. I know McNutty thinks I’m a shit poster and decided to deride me endlessly during the election, but I was truly undecided until Trump started selling Bibles. When I finally came to terms with the fact that Trump IS the Republican Party, I proudly renounced my membership. I am far from a Democrat and waiting for a common sense platform to emerge
And I promise I know I’m not an expert at anything. Definition of family practice. We know a little bit about everything and a whole lot about nothing
The Bible is for individuals, not government.
If you can switch alleigiances to a Party based on a person selling Bibles..... well, I just don't want to argue with someone like that. If you want to switch to a Party that wants no limit on abortion and feels it's humane to give people without expecting them to help themselves, then I don't think you've really thought it through (to be kind).
Yeah, my mistake. I assumed you voted for a Democrat when you said you left the Republican Party.
Sorry - it's a low blow, accusing anyone of being a Democrat. It's just odd I never see you defend Republican principles and ideas. Is that because of Trump?
What? You don’t like it, punk? Well, do ya?
I'm getting a Bloomin onion this weekend.
