It's common knowledge in the US that American media caters to either liberals or conservatives and both sides make unreasonable demands on their followers. For instance, everything on the right is about "manning up" and on the left, "victimization".
-
That uniform is very tame compared to other "breastaurants". In fact, I don't see how it arouses men a lot.
-
I've seen no evidence from the job market that such differences exist. Well, how do you explain women graduating college with good GPAs?
-
I find a person who respects privacy, isn't preachy, and doesn't boss others (unreasonably) to be very attractive. The flip side is someone I actually hate, to be honest.
-
This reminds me of that movie PCU. In that movie, it seemed like people were protesting just cause it was a tradition. Well, that was a comedy, but it rings true to some extent. -
The Latinos coming to the US seem to be mostly from Central America. It's not hard to understand why.
-
Ireland is rich now because of free trade, but Puerto Rico is not. I suspect it's cause PR has not invested in education, but I might be wrong. What is going on here?
-
To show whose the boss, obviously. In that case, why can't people see the backlash? Oh, they're oversensitive, of course. 😭
-
A big problem with Confederate statues is they are often in large southern USA cities with large numbers of African Americans, so obviously they're not popular. Well, looking at voting records of AA, they've never voted with the whites they're for the most part, with FDR being one exception, so that's a big reason for their persecution.

Psychiatrist places are more in your face, invading your privacy. On the other hand, though, they are more comfortable. Well, myself, I'm not sure what I'd want. It would depend on what's going on.
-
Not preparing is suicide cause it doesn't even have to be a military attack. Well, in the 19 century, a huge emp like thing happened naturally.

Cyber Bullying- How do you handle people who are always negative to you?
Jason replied to Nova's topic in Online Wellness
It's a big problem on music learning forums and social media. Anyway, some criticism is understandable, but generally it's a lot of elitist jerks and one thing about my forum is that crap is not allowed. -
I think life is a mix of both. I think the Bible also teaches it is a mix. For instance, The Prodigal Son story emphasis is God finding man, while the story around the Pharisees emphasized their bad choices.
-
What's your take on it? I generally don't like it unless there's a situation that really sucks and that's the only way to preserve sanity. 😄

Definitely the rich and people who are against them have propaganda machines working for them, but everyone isn't the same. Everyone doesn't have extreme views.
-
Are extremely unpopular views way more likely to be wrong?

Credibility is important. In that case, I would want to study the original meaning of words in the Bible and, also, I want to see how everything fits and in this case, the doctrines of free-will and no-free-will work out perfect under universalism. -
I worked up in Minnesota once and the accent and words are so different than Tennessee (where I'm from). In fact, I also noticed they called soda "pop". Anyway, the other difference, obviously, is they simply sound very different than southern people, but I'm all for accents. It makes a place unique.
-
I like a mouse. In that case, I like a desktop, but then again, you can get a mouse for a laptop. Anyway, though, honestly speaking, it doesn't really matter (regarding the whole subject).
-
Not all Coke is the same. The Coke at McDonalds is made different and some say it is better. Who has tried it and really noticed it?
-
If the traffic isn't bad, a US highway is quite fast. It's not as fast as an interstate, but it's only slower by 20 mph less and, also, state highways can be as fast as US highways, depending on the curves.
-
I haven't gotten into PC gaming. In that case, I don't really know if I'd like it or not, but probably I would. Anyway, I did enjoy vintage PC gaming in the 80s.
-
I don't really know what is meant by backroads. Well, looking at the USA, the US highway system allows you to see more culture and usually more natural scenery. I mean, the interstates tend to just cut thru stuff, with some notable exceptions. Anyway, if you just mean state and county road, yeah they are fun to see natural scenery and culture also.
-
It's understandable parents want to be in control. However, how can it help a kid when they are told everything to do, especially when they are already 13 or something? It seems like it hurts their independence skills needed later.
-
Some rules are reasonable. However, others are tyrannical. In fact, they just encourage lying. Well, should rules be obeyed, even if they aren't wise?
-
It's cheaper to go the home route but you gotta be disciplined and, myself, I like dumbbells. In fact, that's all you need. Anyone else into them?
