Public school teachers are callous dictators who won't lift a finger to stop children from peeing in my plane

Tochiazuma posted:

It would make more logical sense to have a solid plan, with carefully crafted goals for spending and targets and a slick ad campaign, all scheduled at a properly distant time as determined by PT6A but this shockingly isn't a fund created with pure logical goals in mind

Well, that was essentially my question: is it just a purely emotional thing at this point? The answer appears to be yes. That's not necessarily wrong, but there's nothing wrong with pointing it out. RBC also made a reasonable point about how the money can actually help the affected families, beyond just "here have some money."

Were you genuinely wondering whether people giving to a fund for 15 kids killed in a bus crash was an emotional rather than logical response?

Well, something can be emotionally driven but still have a concrete point. Like the March For Our Lives. Apparently this is not one of those things.

What a ridiculous post. Trump crapped on Hillary despite umpteen investigations failing to find any evidence of wrong doing. Ford is jabbing the Liberals the day after senior Liberal was sent to prison for crooked politicking.

Normally we don't see it harped on in a tweet quite like that though. It's very Trump-like.

They don't call her Crooked Hillary because she gets convicted, I mean she was a 100% actual go-straight-to-hell war criminal lol. At her arraignment, note for the plaintiff, got your family locked up in Guantanamo Bay

Hillary Clinton has not actually been convicted of any war crimes. That's about the nicest thing you can say about her.

Then pick another source. If the Fraser Institute said the sky was blue, I still wouldn't use them as a citation for it. Biased trash is biased trash.

Are you guys... seriously trying to argue that the Secretary of State, for the United States of America, between the years 2009 and 2013 is not complicit in any war crimes?

That is straight up nonsense. I mean I guess if you go by the idea that "crimes are only crimes if there's anyone to enforce the rules" then you're right, and it's impossible for America to ever commit any crimes at all, but that's not particularly relevant in a moral sense.

You're making the well-known liberal error that any source can be unbiased. Everything is coloured by our experiences, and every source is biased in the same way. Liberals like to think that they have a way of analyzing situations that are un-biased of such concerns as "will publishing this get me fired" or "am I materially benefitting fascism by promoting this thought" but they are just as biased as us socialists.
Anyone with inkling of history knows that the status quo can change rapidly, and ideas that were once widespread can become unpopular. It's funny that liberals think their way of thinking is beyond material conditions influencing thinking, and beyond the ideas they heard when growing up influencing them as well.
Socialists admit their bias, that the rich have everything good in life while those who make everything good in life are forced to fight over the scraps, and that they are opposed!

Liberals admit the world isn't a perfect place, but don't think we can do anything to change it for the better.

I don't think when Trump yaps on about 'Crooked Hillary' he is referring to her war crimes, folks

Also, calling the Liberals crooks dates back long before Trump, not every political move today needs to be linked to him even if it is done via Twitter

this is really all you need to read about to come to the conclusion that Hillary is a criminal and is complicit in atrocities the world over, not to mention the state dept.'s role in what happened in libya

edit: I forgot about her state dept. pressuring the government in Haiti to keep the minimum wage low after they had voted to raise it, all on behalf of garment corporations. she's an awful, immoral person.

I'm glad Gadaffi dead by the way. He was a real piece of poo poo.

Obviously life in prison would have been a better outcome than extrajudicial execution, but perfect is the enemy of good and all.
