I'm a cartoon freak. Avatar has been recommended to me for years and I've ignored it for a long time. I recently got my hands on the series.

I gave up after a few episodes. Simply because the brother constantly protesting everything annoyed me. And I'm rarely picky about minor details like that. He ruined it for me. I'll eventually give it more time.

Sokka is frequently a comic relief character, but his character development is still extremely solid

Capitalism creates the need to be selfish.


A functional set of chromosomes creates the need to be selfish.

no it doesn't.

read "Mutual Aid" by Kropotkin. he was an evolutionary biologist.

Cut this transcendental utopian bullshit. We know communism doesn't work because it requires humans to behave and think rationally and selflessly. You're about as likely to get a cat to master underwater basket weaving.

communism has never been reached. socialism has failed due to outside intirference from the US

As long as one person is more clever and has a stronger desire for success than another, there will be an impetus to possess more.

someone "possessing more" than someone else is not incompatible with a communist society

EVERY new generation of leftist believe every past society has failed at socialism or communism because it was the fault of the leaders, not the fault of the socialist/communist doctrine.

in reality, it's primarily the fault of the US

KJBDEFENDER posted...
The very first pilgrims to settle in N. America tried socialism. They nearly all died in the first 2 years. Each person was expected to work to their ability and put what they produced into the common store. Each person received from the common store what they needed to live. It didn't take long for the single men to realize that married men with children were benefiting more than they were from their labor. They resented it. They became lazy, and less productive. The colony began starving to death from lack of food production. The colonists leaders decided to try an experiment. Every man was given their own small parcel of land that they could work and keep all that they produced. They could do with the produce as they saw fit, eat it, sell it or trade it for things they wanted or needed.
The first harvest had such an abundance that the colony began to thrive. People had extra to sell or trade for goods. True fact, find a true history book and look it up, if you can still find one.

I agree with him. You're basically asking Facebook to police thought and open discussion if you don't.

facebook does police open discussion though. I know tons of people have had accounts suspended just for complaining about the racism they experience on a day-to-day basis.

apparently it doesn't work both ways though

Is that why choosing not to date transgendered people gets you labeled a bigot?

you're not a bigot if you decide you don't want to date or fuck a trans person
no one is entitled to sex, relationships, or even a conversation with you
if someone's butthurt demanding you support trans rights, you're already doing that by leaving them the fuck alone
that's your contribution, if someone doesn't think that's enough, tough shit

just remember there's a big difference between saying "all trans folk are unattractive" and "i haven't found a trans person i felt was attractive enough to date"

if someone is dumb enough to try and call you out for saying the latter, remind their stupid ass that they don't have the right to dictate what you're supposed to think is attractive, only you determine that

and its entirely possible to do all that above without being a complete jackass towards trans folk
you don't like getting slaughtered by a savage rejection? hey guess what: neither do trans people
let them down easy like you would want done with you...

but also:
people's preferences are heavily informed by society

society is transphobic

so it's perfectly reasonable to assume that some of this societal transphobia would find its way into someone's preferences

this just made me think of this article:

If his popular Twitter account is to be believed, on the morning of Jan. 9, 2018, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson woke up, opened his laptop and immediately Googled the word "bikini." Then, he opened another tab and, using Microsoft's Google-rival search engine Bing, executed a new query, also for the word "bikini."

Peterson arrived at the conclusion that the difference between Google's and Bing's respective results of bikini photos revealed the former's apparent desire "to shape our perceptions themselves in the politically correct manner." Here is the defining image of Jordan B. Peterson, the menacing academic rock star and father figure: staring daggers at digital photos of bikinis to lay bare the tyranny of political correctness.

Started watching it, got several episodes in, then got kinda bored. It struck me as the same kind of show as Archer - semi-edgy adult-oriented cartoon with glimpses of creative writing but mostly relying on a really limited selection of jokes/lines leading to very predictable outcomes.

initially, it's basically like South Park with better writers and animation. kinda lame. it gets soooooo much better though. it goes so far beyond that.
