OK that's fair. It's also somewhat of a class thing and I try to keep that in mind when I read this stuff but it drives me nuts when there is this additional element of stubborn willful ignorance.

I think it's less of a class issue and more of a schooling issue. Even middle-class schools these days focus upon rote memorization instead of critical thought. If poorer schools concentrate on critical thinking, I believe that even the lower class would have a better chance of succeeding in life.

And what happens when you focus on critical thinking in chud schools they pull them out and homeschool them or send them to private religious schools or they get on the PTA board and/or lobby state governments to allow parents to sign their kids out of anything they find objectionable.

Was there ever a really a time that there was widespread good teaching of "critical thinking"? You sure don't see it in today's middle age and old people, and before today's old people most people would be lucky to finish middle school let alone high school.

They tried to get a critical thinking class going in my town, one that would teach basic logic and look at commercials and like ufo claims and stuff like that, and angry parents shut it down almost immediately. We call these people dumb, but they can sure recognize a threat when they see one.

Trump and Richard Spencer are both Patriots fans and Brady was photographed once with a MAGA hat in his locker behind him Our once-in-a-generation QB had to be THIS guy. If it weren't for the fact that Brady's wife is a devout liberal, he'd cozy up to Trump a lot more. That, and the fact that no matter how big a hero you are, if you go full chud in public Massachusetts will hate you (see: Curt Schilling).

They won lots of games, then won the championship. It was a good game if you like solid defense, a lot of the QB failings were constant pressure in the pocket, that's been the only consistent to throw Brady off his game his entire career, and the Rams were able to do it without giving up 5 yard slants every play. tl;dr: COUNT THE RINGS CRYBABBIES OK I have defended a FReeper, I'm gonna have to be a friggin' saint for the rest of my life, aren't I? What's FReep's take on everyone's favorite governor, Ralph "just a little bit of shoe polish to darken my cheeks" "Coonman" Northam's brave stand for social values and racial equality way back in 1984 when (I assume) the blacks had their own water fountains and cross burning was just a normal Saturday night for vast swaths of this here great Commonwealth? *moonwalks away*

Freeper on Afghanistan proves his racism is strongee than his hatres for commies, since he could well say that Afthanistan nosedived thanks to the Soviet invasion (and certain freedom fighters funded by Ronnie but it’s freep so) and be less wrong.

Cool that they’re continuing to radicalize themselves into spree shooter situations—“cow” being the aarp-friendly npc equivalent. Has there been a freep mass shooter? Was that guy who shot up the holocaust museum during Obama’s inauguration one? Or the guy who flew a plane into the irs?
