at least I can return the Captain Obvious title veteran or soldier/etc can be tied to accomplishing something but the others, yes, I do find that silly.

this works I think the idea is that eventually race, sex, etc, becomes mainstream enough that people don't feel it's something to overcome or deal with - then the idiotic "I'm proud to be" stuff will go away on its own. Be proud of accomplishments makes sense. The other connotations really are just making a statement more than actually being 'proud'. ...

invoking: "fair share" "green energy" etc etc is pretty equivalent to fanatical religiosity to many nowadays - seems a small segment has substituted unthinking partisanship for religion in their lives - I don't think the results are much different anymore (At least it's a trend to putting excessively religious groups in their true perspective.....amongst the others excessively unreasonable groups and no better or worse, just another subgroup) YMMV ...

the 'if I can just save one child it's worth it crowd' will argue that you can't know that all of them are doing that I've met nurses, lots of them, so many are conscientious and fit and self aware.

I'm more on the fence about the window tint issue. Enough cops are actually shot/killed during traffic stops that I think a reasonable argument can be made that they should be able to see what is going on in the car. Also when the tint is too dark it compromises the driver's ability to see clearly, especially at night. Don I'm more on the fence about the body armor issue. If enough cops get shot by criminals wearing protective armor, I think a reasonable argument can made that these things should be made illegal. Also when the armor is too heavy it compromises the wearer's ability to move, and it's not comfy when hot. so, it's apparently another 'where do you draw the line' discussion on how much big brother do you want then? ...

same argument used for window tint therefore: window tint = body armor therefore: window tint stops bullets isn't "armour" some kind of hot dog? ... Driving is a one dimensional activity - a monkey can do it - being proud of your driving abilities is like being proud of being able to put on pants

Mr Honda seems, then, to be a very reactionary person, or his constituents are very reactionary. (This might also be a good time to reference the whole - emotional vs rational - discussion and how it plays out in politics). But it's a pretty sad thing for any congresscritter to have happen in his district for sure. Anyway - everyone that watches movies knows that bad guy bullets are stopped by objects in pockets. - usually a lucky coin given by grandpa from way back when - or a whiskey flask given at a law enforcement forced retirement party we should pass a law to distribute whiskey flasks to everyone that doesn't own a gun - just to even the odds.

I like every single thing about that post but I'd revise "male dominated power and control" to just "religious power and control" as this forces entire families to comply with the religious overlords....OR ELSE.

I also opposed religious based killings and am appalled when atheists, hindus and budhists do it as well as islamists, christians, jews and pastafarians do it is that PC enough?

Which was exactly why I made my post. Since kelpdiver tried to deminish an opinion since he labelled it as emotional as opposed to rational.. it's silly to have the whole argument then. It's pretty much assumed that when someone accuses another of being emotional, they really mean they are letting their emotional response overwhelm their rational thinking on the topic. I've never seen an argument that says you need to be Spock to understand a topic correctly. Or an argument that indicates that empathy, if not overwhelmingly silly, is a bad thing. What I do see is a lot of people that have zero logic and completely go on their guts, or emotional reaction to topics. they simply don't get the time of day from me However, when I see a couple posters accusing each other of this, it's usually based on neither one having any clue about the position the other one is making - either they aren't listening, or the first one is crappy at getting is point across. ..... or both......or they aren't even trying ...

Who would it not be rational for? it's not rational, by definition, it's just expected it is rational for me to assume you will have an irrational response. doesn't make your response rational, just expected..... ...

No it would be a lack of emotion. It might be rational for YOU to believe that another would have an emotional response to seeing their child murdered in front of them. Sociopathy or psychopathy does not preclude the person to be a very rational thinker. I think you are confounding rational with your personal (or a societal expectation of) 'normal' or 'expected' or even 'good'. rational and emotional both are neither good nor evil - that come out with actions...... these are unrelated and the anecdotes are silly because we can come up with anecdotes of: rational and emotional, rational and unemotional, irrational and emotional, and irrational and unemotional - the only tendency really is that the 2nd and 3rd are much easier examples to come up with edit: nevermind - Billvon is working the point ...

that's an interesting position to take.....I'd disagree, at least with my take on the words themselves. maybe you could elaborate. I'd say lack of emotion is a pretty clear indicator of lack of emotion....seems orthogonal to the rationality position - having or lacking emotion wouldn't indicate a position on rationality at all I'd say that a clear indicator of true rationality is those who can deal with their emotions and STILL make rational conclusions whether their emotional response aligns or conflicts with the rational. I don't really think the emotional response can HELP a rational decision at all. I do think that emotional response has the potential to hurt rationality, but it doesn't have to. (I'd say the 'placebo effect' could be argued, possibly, as the exception to my position though) ...

"The Check of Safety and Reliability Would you like to know how old your cutter is? No problem. You will find a number on your cutter cable. Compare this number with our list, and it will provide you with the exact date of when your cutter was built. On Cutters produced before September 2000, the date of manufacture is engraved on the plug. All CYPRES cutters have a 14.5 year lifetime when properly maintained. Comprehensive technical checks with each maintenance, complying with the required intervals for maintenance and respect for the maximum lifetime of a device are crucial to ensure the correct function of each CYPRES component. http://www.cypres.cc/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=157&Itemid=109&lang=en thanks all of you the box - 12 years the cutter - 14.5/15 years must check each of them separately to be sure of the age of each component - they might not be the same that let's me price out my used cutter (from the expired box) by pro-rating it against a new one (as the first consideration) ...

it's difficult to take a fluff piece seriously when you could take any law and claim (in a roundabout way) that it 'restricts' food sharing with the homeless here's some - all you need is an ax to grind against whoever passed it and lazy voters won't look any farther law - that identifies 20 specific locations in a town to drop off food bundles for distribution to various food and charity location - restricts food sharing law - against littering - could restrict food sharing law - to build affordable housing and rejuvenate a neighborhood - argue it tries to force the poor into a single neighborhood Questions to ask: Who are they attacking? Do they have a partisan or personal axe to grind? What is their history of reporting? Do they twist the truth a lot? Are you hearing what you want to hear? Does it fit a stupid overused stereotype? these questions might lead to a skeptical view of any article you want an discussion on how to feed the hungry, or, better yet, how to enable the hungry to feed themselves stop bitching and go do something direct - hire employees or buy someone a sandwich. encourage others to volunteer to do the same ...
