There might be some sort of scheme behind this website.

Probably a vast left-wing conspiracy.

My boycott is very thorough, I've never even heard of twitch.

Hey.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we all got along as a cohesive whole, wherein property wasn't a concept, and having somewhere warm and secure to live was.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...Isn't life wonderful.

Blimey, I was daydreaming there.

You should write a song, maybe call it "Imagine".

Sounds like a good read.

My wife will probably warn you off, according to her, when it comes to what I find interesting, it's only me. That's why I have permanently lost my book recommendation privileges.

Trouble is, I have a stack of good reads waiting on the bedside cabinet.

Bedside and toilet side for me, I do some of my best reading on the can.

And these days, sleep comes too easily.

I'm jealous, I never get easy sleep.

Nope. Fail. Race is declared non-extant by the Human Genome Project in 2003; a full generation ago.

Make sure you tell everybody at your next Klan meeting.

There's no fucking way that RemyBrown and SatanLucy are from this planet.

Case closed.

Would just be a way of repackaging and rebranding human inequality and selfishness.

It certainly wouldn't help; it would exacerbate the problem.

To create a utopian human society, you would firstly need to re-engineer the species.

I'm pretty sure all you really have to do is put me in charge.

Perhaps A.I. will merge to form a digital utopia, in interstellar space.

I read a book that said exactly that, it was "Equations of Eternity (Speculations on Consciousness, Meaning, and the Mathematical Rules that Orchestrate the Cosmos)" by David Darling, it's a better read than it sounds. I found it fascinating.

Do you make money from this site or lose money?

You can make a small fortune running a site like this, all you have to do is start with a large fortune.

I am neither, so I cannot be that dumb. In fact, one of those is non-extant. You figure it out.

A racist that says racism doesn't exist, and a fascist that claims he isn't a fascist, real big surprise there.

It goes with the MAGA guy that says he's not MAGA.

You're right; verbosity is dumb.

Fascism and Racism are really dumb.

Democrats have not thought this protest through. What are you waiting for? Capitulation that we elected a king? Absurd.

Let me try to dumb it down far enough that you might be able to understand.

What they call it doesn't really matter, other countries that joined the protest called it "No Tyrants", "No Dictators", and other such names, in general we are resisting your movement's attempt to replace democracy with authoritarianism and fascism, the reasons we are protesting is multifold:

1. We are trying to save democracy, you and the other MAGA extremists supported a violent insurrection that attempted to overturn a free and fair election, you are disenfranchising American voters through gerrymandering, voter registration purges, and other nefarious efforts to keep people from voting, or to keep their votes from counting. Trump promised he would be a dictator on day one if elected, he also said we would never have to have another election if he won, you elected him on such promises.
2. We are fighting against racism, you and the other MAGA extremists have made your white supremacist ideology mainstream, you would rather have a dictator than diversity. The racist foundation of the movement is unmistakable; despite the way you pretend your racism is patriotism. This is why you sound like Rainman with the word "woke", why you see DEI as the primary issue, and it's why it's not about political ideology anymore, nobody is falling for that big lie, it's a culture war motivated by hatred and hostility towards the stereotypical targets of white supremacism.
3. We are trying to stop the country from descending into fascism, your MAGA movement has rejected the Constitution and wants to deny equal rights for all Americans. We see all of the usual tactics of fascism being deployed, suppression of freedom of speech, persecution of dissenters, weaponized justice departments against political opponents, use of violence and scapegoating, opposition to liberalism, attacking non-traditional gender roles, and denigrating the free press.
4. We want to save lives, Trumps attempt to take away health care from 15% of the country will cause approximately 50,000 unnecessary deaths a year, that is too high a price to fund a trillion-dollar tax break for the wealthiest 1% of the country.
5. We want to defend law and order, your MAGA movement is a fundamentally criminal movement, your cult leader was elected despite a history of lawlessness, 34 felony convictions, dozens of sexual assault charges, desperation to suppress evidence of his pedophile activities, he's an adjudicated rapist, and every week the courts rule his actions to be illegal.
6. We want to save morality: you and your MAGA partners support Trump despite his felonies, rape, sexual assault, pedophilia, multiple fraud convictions, pathological lies, marital infidelity, and general moral bankruptcy.
7. We want to stop the attempt to establish an American Theocracy. Trump is implementing the astoundingly unconstitutional Project 2025 Plan, which is a plan to establish a Theocracy of Christian Nationalism, which is not Christian at all, it is fascism masquerading as Christianity.

It's amazing that ai can put out such a radically bad idea.

This would absolutely devastate home construction, and the mortgage industry, as well as all federal home loan programs designed to stimulate construction and homeownership, the combined effect would be devastating to the economy. Builders don't have the money to build homes without mortgage financing. Average 1st time home buyers pays about 9% down, many pay 3% down for conventional mortgages, 3.5% for Without mortgages and federal home loan programs buyers. Bank lending is one of the primary ways money is created, elimination of mortgages will severely reduce money supply, raising interest rates and dramatically reducing economic activity in all segments of the economy.

It would make moving problematic, the average homeowner moves 11.7 times, average home is sold every 8 years. Your plan is naive in its assumption that current homeowners own their homes free and clear. Your plan effectively assumes It assumes homeowners own their homes, but only 40% actually own their home free and clear, and those are predominantly the ones who don't move. It's even a more naive assumption that the average homebuyer will remain in the home long enough to pay it off. Under your program, a typical home might have 4 or 5 equity contracts and 2 or 3 separate ownership contracts, and it's ridiculous to think the average homeowner could manage the complexity, comply with finance, equal opportunity, and construction regulations.

It's naive to think the vast mortgage industry could simply be eliminated and transferred directly to home owners, the mortgage industry is very complex, and extremely regulated, it's also naive to think that the average homeowner could manage such complexity and regulatory compliance.

If you are trying to stabilize the housing market, dramatically reducing supply will have the opposite effect. Rather than solve the home speculation business, it will increase it dramatically because it's the investors that can afford to pay cash, and what investors do with those homes is rent them.

People don't go away with your plan, the demand for homes is split between buyers and renters, and it's the investors that serve the renters. If you dramatically reduce supply, prices will go up dramatically, both home prices and rent will raise dramatically. Your idea would have the opposite effect that you are looking for.

If you eliminate standard protections of mortgage regulations, you introduce much higher risk for the home buyer and a high degree of instability to the market. Historically, land contracts have exposed buyers to increased risks, including predatory terms, inflated prices, and the risk of losing their entire investment.

Homebuyers would also have reduced rights, homeownership would entail the landlord/renter relationship, reducing flexibility to renovate, repair, and even maintain when the home you live in is actually owned by someone else.

In the end, it will greatly exacerbate the wealth gap in America, the top 1% of households owns 1/3 of the nation's wealth, this disparity would increase dramatically. Wealth disparities are most pronounced along racial and ethnic lines, racial and ethnic inequities in both income and wealth have always been significant and long-standing, the primary way this issue is overcome is through homeownership, you plan would have the effect of unfairly harming disadvantaged racial and ethnic groups. 

I don't see any positive effect your complete restructuring of the massive home construction and financing industry.

I think that Putin is a Judo man, whereas Trump is a golfer.

Trump has the advantage of a good swing with a heavy wedge.

Even if he loses, Trump will just say he won and his followers will believe him, he can even have them riot to overturn the results, that's certainly an advantage.

Why can't you ignore him? I was able to totally ignore Biden during much of his admin. very forgettable guy.

Yeah Misterio, fauxlaw totally ignored Biden so much he's still talking about it LOL.

Why not Trump?

Fascists were asking the German people "Why can't you ignore him?" in the 1930s, today the ask us "Why not Trump?".

And look, no protests in Canada. And no Trump in Canada either.

Don't be fooled by Shoresy, they aren't all assholes, they protested too, called it "No Tyrants".

I woke up this morning, and America still has no king.

Canada has a king, and he isn't even Canadian.

Dean Withers: Should women with IUDs murderers be tried as murderers?

Me: Yes (4th degree murder; abortion).

Prohibit abortion federally at conception, try it as 4th degree murder, include women with IUDs as 4th degree murderers. Make the penalty anything that makes sense (I'd say community service that would be conginent on the age of the fetus aborted). If women call it misogynistic, then tell them that because of, "Man vs Bear", that it lets us know how emotional/stupid women are, so the misogyny is the only CORRECT position.

Desperate to come up with reasons why you can't get laid, desperate to see women punished for not wanting you.

It's not women's fault that you are disgusting, it's just who you are.

Rant all you want, it won't matter, you are never going to get laid.

Probably the DNC. Politics is a buisiness.

I thought it was supposed to be George Soros.

I mean, since he pays immigrants to eat the dogs and cats, it just figures that he'd be the one paying the protestors too.

I didn't say every protestor is a paid protestor.

Who pays these "paid protestors"?

I don't think Trump has any problems that couldn't be resolved medically by injecting bleach.

They are paid protestors.

I protested for "No Kings Day" today, when do I get paid?

Wiki has said of itself that it is not inherently accurate because it allows anyone to edit content, scholastically qualified, tor not.

You think human powered flight is fake news?

Since you take such pride in being a weirdo, I would think you would take it as a compliment.

I dont take pride in being a weirdo. I dont even consider myself weird.

That is really weird.

Its not nice to call other people weirdos.

Since you take such pride in being a weirdo, I would think you would take it as a compliment.

Two US presidents Biden and Trump had difficulty walking up stairs, both stumbled and needed help. Human flight was the last thing on their mind.

Yeah, and being President was the last thing on Kanellos Kanellopoulos mind when he flew over 70 miles of human powered flight.

How is it possible that you don't know that is "Best Korea"?

He said DDO, not DART.

Good point, they all run together.

What was your username on DDO?

How is it possible that you don't know that is "Best Korea"?

The history of the science of human flight arguably began in 1680, when Italian physicist Giovanni Alfonso Borelli definitively proved that humans could not fly under their own power. This was because human pectoral muscles were simply too weak to support flight, regardless of the wing structures one might employ.

Human-powered aircraft - Wikipedia

Human-powered flight refers to the concept of flying using only human energy, typically through pedaling or other forms 

of physical exertion.

1. It combines extreme athleticism with engineering challenges, requiring lightweight construction and low cruise speeds. 
2. Human powered aircraft have been successfully flown over considerable distances, primarily as engineering challenges rather  than for recreational purposes.
3. Notable achievements include the longest human-powered flight, which lasted nearly 4 hours and covered over 115 km. 
4. The pursuit of human-powered flight has historical significance, with figures like Da Vinci contributing to its cultural narrative. 

Overall, human-powered flight represents a fascinating intersection of sport, engineering, and human capability.

Rainman has a new word.

This site allows for debating all political ideologies.

Then why are you telling me what I can post?

You make republicans look embarrassingly bad all by yourself, so there's no reason to debate it really, that would only distract from how bad your posts are, you have a knack for losing miserably while running unopposed.

Democrats thank you.
