Meh. I don’t like that. If it’s true, take the high road and show some class, then enjoy the newfound success.

If it’s partially true but also cover for one’s own lack of progress to any degree, then it can allow a mindset that a player could hide behind and stunt further progress.

zeous started the topic Just me or has posting rate slowed way down here of late? in the forum Misc 7 years, 7 months ago

Seems the last several times I’ve stopped by the home page hasn’t really changed much. Am I just imagining things after a beer or two too many?

zeous replied to the topic Not surprised. in the forum Politics 7 years, 8 months ago

There are more options than that. The lie… the con… is that there are only two choices. I think it’s pretty strong argument in favor of the notion that the two parties are only publicly two, but privately one.

p.s. I honestly can’t tell which of the two sides you’re describing because I can think of examples of all your criticisms that…[Read more]

No, they’re not. Identify the fallacy and support that claim. You don’t get it for free.

Voluntary cooperation is a valid argument and the only one that works long-term. If you don’t have the monetary resources on your own, start a non-profit and give your time and effort, or join an existing one.
