| Topic | Were the American Founding Fathers cowards when it came to slavery? |
| CommonJoe 07/19/20 3:35:07 PM #43 | Zikten posted... anyway, sometimes I think we would be better off if we had not fought the revolutionary war. we would by now be free anyway, like canada. the modern US government oppresses it's own citizens more today than the british were to the colonists back then You do realize that in doing this you likely would have still had a revolution anyway right? Almost to the day of the Civil War, as Britain would abolish slavery in 1833, and it absolutely would have sparked a revolt in the South. And that in turn, presuming a Southern win, would have led to much of the area we call the US now likely being a third world shithole, instead of a rich second world shithole. And nevermind that the UK can hardly claim to be that much better. Their political climate isnt that different from ours, and just as an example of their modern violations of civil liberties is using children as spies against terrorists, gangs, and other criminals. Need I mention the mass surveillance thats been rendered normal in the UK? --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |
| Topic | Were the American Founding Fathers cowards when it came to slavery? |
| CommonJoe 07/19/20 2:35:16 PM #37 | Doe posted... It wasn't an issue of not being able to keep the union together it was an issue of people like Washington expressly desiring to continue to own their slaves The two are not exclusive traits. (And im not agreeing that Washington wanted to keep his slaves either, but I dont know enough about him (nor care to) to dig that deeply into his life) --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |
| Topic | Were the American Founding Fathers cowards when it came to slavery? |
| CommonJoe 07/19/20 2:34:07 PM #36 | Esrac posted... That caused a significant boom in the southern cotton plantation economy, which would've increased demand for slave labor and prolonged the practice longer than may have been foreseen in 1776. I dont think that played a factor. The Founders faced an emergent nation that as it was was only just holding together, and that unity remained tenous up until the post Civil War era when the US as a single nation finally became an accepted part of American identities. A lot of the Founders early decisions were based around appeasing the South to maintain unity. A good example: The "militia" lines in the Second Amendment? There to ensure the South that their militias wouldnt be disbanded in favor of the national army. The North needed the South to do what it wanted to do, but the same wasnt true in reverse. We have to remember that when we judge the Founders. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |
| Topic | Were the American Founding Fathers cowards when it came to slavery? |
| CommonJoe 07/19/20 2:10:31 PM #32 | Its also good to remember that in the context of the revolution slavery eas being looked at in a similar vein to how we view gay rights or drug legalization. The moral arguments then and now are there, but you're talking about uprooting norms that have existed for decades, if not centuries. And at least during the Revolution, Southern slavery hadn't yet started to decline, so you couldn't make the "unviable to continue" argument that could have a century afterwords if you were to ask if slavery would have really continued if the South won. It wouldnt have as the industrial revolution would have rendered it largely obsolete. So were the Founders cowards regarding slavery? No, but thats like saying refusing to be a total paragon of virtue is cowardice, and in any age thats simply unrealistic. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| Topic | Are Halflings/Hobbits considered elves or humans? |
| CommonJoe 07/14/20 1:54:18 PM #3 | Theyre humanoid, but not humans or elves specifically. And in the context of LOTR they were all created separately so they are not linked by evolution. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| CommonJoe 07/14/20 12:32:09 PM #20 | What really needs to be denormalized is talking on the phone. Easily one of the most infuriating and draining activities I can engage in and I will 100% break off any budding relationship with a gi that gets upset when I tell her I dont like talking on the phone. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| Topic | i want to buy a tesla but im worried about the battery |
| CommonJoe 07/14/20 3:46:50 AM #12 | Its unlikely that we're going to see a plateau in terms of battery longevity, nor a plateau in the cost to replace. Its good to remember that electric vehicles are still essentially brand new. Getting a Tesla right now is pretty similar to buying PC parts. Itll be fun but its just as likely you'll see it rapidly get outdated. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| CommonJoe 07/13/20 3:29:15 PM #2 | Sameish. No leg weakness but I did get a random rash and had some killer chestpain for like an hour the day it started. May have also had a fever but it was hard to tell given my body temperature is unnaturally raised due to my living situation as it is. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| CommonJoe 07/13/20 3:10:07 PM #19 | People over melt cheese. Thats the common denominator between those burgers and I agree, I dont get the appeal. Id rather have a still semi-solid slice of cheese rather than an oozing mess. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| CommonJoe 07/13/20 2:26:47 PM #13 | Snitching is only unacceptable in the case of victimless behavior. These people ignoring the no large gathering rules is not victimless behavior as they'd unintentionally spread the disease should any of them have it. So yes, snitch in these dumbfucks. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| CommonJoe 07/13/20 1:28:54 PM #11 | One should also consider the alluded to social dynamics of the year 3000. This is the same world that has 25 cent suicide booths on street corners. The Professor himself scolded Fry for his primitive notions of modesty. Their friendship is probably as good as any could have in that world. --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |

| Topic | The type of people that support Terry Crews |
| CommonJoe 07/12/20 10:20:31 AM #59 | I mean Crews is basically the Wayne Brady of the 2010's but he isnt wrong in his premise. I think people are just knee jerk reacting to this as if its a criticism or an attack when it isnt. In other words, stop being tribal. Even if it is a criticism, no one has to disagree with you to criticize you. If you say 2+2 is 4 of course Im going to agree with you, but if I check your work and you used Chair - Small Duck = Rock to make that conclusion then I am going to have some criticisms to make. Doesnt mean your end conclusion is wrong but its not a good idea to absolve yourself of correcting your bad methodology. (Which while I didnt intend to make a metaphor for whats actually going on here, is actually a pretty apt one. Go figure) --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. |
