Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Oh moron. "Natural law" is what we choose to follow. I will have more, and smarter, children than your coal-eating boiled oat flesh can create.
Your last grasp at relevance is by proclaiming thought as absurd, yet you use the very tools we all built and agreed upon to visit absurdity upon us, your fellow caretakers.
You will be forgotten, and echoes of your damaged code depriving your one or two generations of progeny of happiness for as you watch.
natural law is not chosen, it pre-exists everything, and considering you seem to lack any inheritable intellect, i can tell that my kids will probably be the ones having to put up with the half-brained offspring of your kind, regardless, i have nothing to fear against people who cant even understand basic logic, you could be outwitted by a bent sickle
Hahaha, who reasoned through the physics and utility behind and beyond the sickle? My kids, myself, maybe your kids, but certainly not you.
We builders and engineers will set the world right, as we always have in spite of drooling destructors like you. Notice your love of potential pain and misery, merely discussing and quietly grinning about it. You are the devil.
my ancestors, armed with knowledge of the natural world, created the truest religion, practically all relevant inventions between 600BC and 0AD, and have survived for over 3000 years due to their understanding of natural law, yours are american :)
600 years? That's so long to make such basic tooling. As expected, you've always advertised your weakness as your biggest strengths. Nothing changes, but the years.
When you try to take control again, as incessant low-quality creatures do, we will again excise you.
we invented military technology, societal developments, all of which echo in the world today :)
Weakness as strength, yet again.
Our children of all colors and creeds will hold hands and walk gently into the future, along with this planet and the majesty of all her beings.
Kindness and collaboration are the natural law, time-tested and evinced by nature for far longer than humans have existed.
Goodnight, stranger.
nature is not exclusively kind or collaborative, nature is logical, and the vast majority of creeds in question violate this law and will see the consequences for doing so, either in their personal life dissatisfaction, or by means of meeting problems they cant pass by means of flawed world understanding :)
A little dissatisfaction is all it takes to scare you into rigid, terrified conformity? How pitiful 😂
Notice how nature adapts and thrives on various domains, dynamically and powerfully. The opposite of the very conformity you claim is the key to success 🤦
conformity is not the key to success, contentment with the fact that nature is rigid is the key to success, you can do anything within the bounds of reason lest it result in personal misfortune
I don't think anyone agrees that nature is rigid, it is in fact fully dynamic, as a system. The rules are simple, but the results are not. I know that's what you meant, if only your thinking was less occluded by obedience.
Woohoo for freedom!
Careful. You might cut yourself on all the edge you're lording.
cry harder, i do oblige you to try out the whole logical processing thing for once, though :)
Lol ok, little guy...
