The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

>>And so?

Well, I could go into a long response, expanding on what I've already said. But that won't make any difference to you. You'll just find some words that sound bad and say they apply to me. And you'll find a few words that sound good and apply them to you.

That's because you are nothing more than a hero-bot. You don't care about the meanings of words, you just sort them into "good" and "bad". All the "good" words apply to you and your Trumpist friends. All the "bad" words apply to anyone who opposes you - which includes me at the moment.

So I won't take your bait and try to debate you. - peter

OK, but it was a serious question. And so?

I will answer that question with what you implied but were too timid? or something to state explicitly...


>>When your supporters start saying things like that, you have crossed the line into lies that are destructive.

And so?

And so the power of the state should be applied to prevent such lies from being expressed in the first place.

Personally, I think granting that power is more dangerous than any so called lie.
