The Tim Walz thread.
It depends on whether he was sitting behind a desk at an FOB or actually went out on patrols with a rifle company. If you ever saw the movie Full Metal Jacket Matthew Modine's character( "joker") was a Marine Journalist assigned to Vietnam. Sometimes military journalist actually go on patrols with combat units and sometimes they do not. -

The Tim Walz thread.
When I said: "Oh, sorry, so much worse than the classy couch lie you regurgitate endlessly." I was referring to you. When I said: "The left lies constantly, and then get all worked up when someone else does it, as if they have the exclusive.", I was referring to people on the political left. And when I say the left lies constantly, I do not mean that every single person on the left is a liar. I do not doubt honest leftists exists, I just never met one. Sorry for the confusion. -

At your age: Do you still take life seriously?
Great essay. When people think of civilisation, they typically think of increasing technological sophistication. That has always been a part of what anthropologists examine when they write about different civilisations. But they’ve always gone much beyond that to look at other attributes of society, most notably temperance and disposition to co-existence. One does not have to be an anthropologist or sociologist to notice that both are generally static or in decline worldwide. Today the echo-chamber is largely housed in social media, where groups reinforce each other’s grievances without rebuttal or critique. It has the effect of compromising rationality, even of otherwise rational people. It is in this regard that IPOB, Boko Haram and America’s white supremacists have much in common. Alas, they are not alone. Take a look at the carnage in Gaza, the result of an unending conflict between Jews and Palestinians, two people with much kinship. Somehow, Israel believes that its path to peace lies in expanding farther and farther into Palestinian territories and keeping the Palestinians caged in. Meanwhile, embittered Palestinians — embodied by Hamas — believe that firing relatively crude missiles into Israel is the way out. That is, despite knowing that the Israelis will bombard the congested territory, killing hundreds and leveling neighbourhoods. The potentially cataclysmic lag in the evolution of human emotions would seem to be a priority to researchers. Instead, some of the world’s brightest minds are labouring to make robots more human. A much more urgent quest would be to seek to make humans more humane. The idea is to cultivate those traits that supposedly distinguish us as humans so that we may transcend the animalistic instincts that have remained with us over several millennia of evolution. Specifically, that would entail cultivating positive traits such as empathy, honesty and a sense of justice while weeding out the negatives such as self-centeredness, anger and malice. It’s a matter of survival of society as we know it. https://punchng.com/civilisation-is-in-reverse/ -

trump folds and agrees to Kamala Harris debate demands,
not when it comes to the radical left opposition. i think after being labelled a dictator, hitler and a racist the field is pretty even. -
