The Atlas Asylum of absurd/ignorant posts IX

People can time births to occur over the summer, or comply with existing policies re sick days and substitutes. Let the price system decide -- although of course any price system for public employees must necessarily be imperfect, which is a great reminder of why we desperately need to abolish public education in this country and all others.

A literal fascist that one. And now recent posts where he expresses great discomfort over banning certain forms of child pornography.

The color of your avatar is a trivial matter.

The awfulizing of Trump in the face of the current Biden Regime "transforming" America into a fundamentally Tribalist society is a bigger threat to Freedom and the Rule of Law than anyone cares to imagine.  The normalizing of the discussion of "gender identities" between teachers and elementary school children is a fundamental talking point of the Biden Regime, one that would do even more damage to the institution of the Family.  The Politics of Equity is destroying any concept of a color-blind meritocracy; already we are dismantling standards that measure competence simply because favored groups perform below average in those tests; it apportions appointments to positions that require competence by Race, Gender, and other Identity considerations.  This is a self-evident disaster, but the trend continues.  The Border is wide open, and there is no effort whatsoever to control it.  And you know that a "Border Bill" was not necessary; all Biden had to do was reverse the executive orders he signed on the subject.

Biden has done more than any President in my lifetime to undermine Civil Peace and the Rule of Law.  I am not thrilled with Trump as the 2024 nominee, but I am horrified as to what can happen to America in 4 more years of Biden.  Those driving the Biden Administration are fundamentally opposed to the very principles of Western Civilization.

For a guy who calls himself "ExtremeRepublican", why you are not utterly horrified with Biden is beyond me.  I would vote for Nikki Haley in a minute against Biden; he is the worst President in my lifetime.  Even more importantly, he is the FIRST President  I thought gave no thought to what was good for America and Americans.

I hope you snap out of this.

How many of Fuzzy Brain's posts cant be fairly responded to with a simple "OK Boomer"?

There are so many things wrong with this case and I have some quite choice words for Mr. Bragg, but the most glaring problems are 1) Statue of Limitations and 2) NY doesn't have jurisdiction over a federal matter, and the Feds declined to prosecute this case. I think its incumbent upon SCOTUS to step in and shut the case down now. Usually, they don't get involved until the appeals process, but given the unprecedented nature of this case plus the horrific ramifications it could have on our body politic, its best to be shut down now.

In the meantime, I think it's incumbent upon GOP governors to use their powers to punish the state of New York. Shut down flights originating from NYC from landing in their states. The NY-FL air market is huge, so that would have an impact. Plus, you have huge airline hubs in TX and GA that would cause a harrowing effect on NY. Cancel all state-funded travel to NY. Not only does this apply to government employees, but also publicly funded universities. Any NCAA sporting events in NY would be effected. And make clear these sanctions will not be lifted until the case is dismissed.

But remember folks: This guy totally hates Trump, honest and for true!

Doubt it? Why, he's totally said so.

Has that position that "members of different races are equal at birth, before any environmental or cultural factors come into play" ever been proven to be true? I'd like to see the research on that.

I really feel people should read it, it’s not some radical new take, but it do sum up a lot of things nicely. The point is that Ivy League is for people who either

1: have a clear career path, where connection you make at Ivy League universities make sense (he used law as example).
2: come from a rich family which can afford it, and your future job is already guaranteed, unless you really do some stupid stuff.
3: come from economic disadvantaged background (translation; Black) and can get a free ride to join the elite,

Tell me you aren’t an American without giving away your specific country of residence. The vast majority of lower-class students of all races are better served by attending city colleges or public flagship schools seeing as they would not make competitive applicants to Ivy League schools. Besides most Black students at elite private and public schools aren’t lower-class ADOS.

Israel-Palestine conflict within US favours Trump.

Constant court cases favours Trump.

Biden's Alzheimer's favours Trump.

At this stage, the election is Trump's to lose.

Yet, never underestimate the will of the American people.

Can blue avatars go five minutes without dehumanizing Palestinians?

In the events in Gaza, the Palestinians are the ones in the wrong. They have no virtue and no merit in their arguments.

Another lie/deliberate misrepresentation by Ferguson97.  Here's the whole post:

OSR, you might find your complaints about red av toxicity gaining a lot more sympathy if you weren't bringing them up almost exclusively while railing against the bans of reactionaries who espouse loathsome bigotries that you insist don't exist because you didn't see them.

Get real.

In the current protests, in the events in Gaza, the Palestinians are the ones in the wrong.  They have no virtue and no merit in their arguments.  They want to use civilians as human shields, lob rockets at Israeli civilians.  They not only wish for Israel to not exist, they wish to drive every Jew out of "Palestine".  They have wanted this, and worked for this, ever since the Grand Mufti collaborated with Hitler in WWII.  

Haley/Ryan is Jewish in a country where Jew Hatred on the Left (which is tolerated here when it can't be blamed on the Right) runs rampant.  The complete denial of what the pro-Palestinian protesters are actually doing is shameful.  But the permabanning of Haley/Ryan is more that just bias; it is the Mod Team condoning the actions of Pro-Palestinian protesters and embracing the Palestinian cause.

OSR is a stand-up guy.  Red Avatars have loads of advocates here; Haley/Ryan deserves more than one.  And I consider his previous 6 month ban (to be kind) excessive.  

The highlighted part is absolutely true of Hamas's treatment of Gazan civilians.  And I didn't even mention Hamas killing hostages (which has likely happened).

"Hamas" and "The Palestinians" are not synonyms.

Also your post was at best tangentially related to the post it was responding to.

Why is this the only conflict in which you’re not allowed to identify one side by their nationality? No one says ‘Likud is razing Gaza’ or ‘United Russia attacked Ukraine’. No one would bat an eyelid at a statement ‘the Israelis are in the wrong’ but for Palestine  we always have to refer to the political party  currently in control?

There is no evidence of meaningful Palestinian opposition to Hamas. 

There are protestors in the crowd that admit to being Hamas.

They are one in the same in fact for the purposes of this conflict.  There are no Palestinian voices of consequence condemning the October 7 attack and no Palestinian voices of consequence demanding that Hamas release the hostages.  (In all likelihood it is because all Palestinian voices of consequences already know, ore have reason to believe, that the bulk of the hostages are dead.

You have not condemned any of that to date.

Because per international law and recognition, Hamas is not the government of Palestine or even Gaza. Hamas effectively seized Gaza from the Palestinian Authority.

On a related note, why is the Israeli military always referred to as the "IDF"? Nobody refers to the American military as the "ADF", the British military as the "BDF", the French military as the "FDF", etc.

Because its full official name is the Israel Defense Forces.  It's similar to abbreviating the United States Air Force as the USAF.

Because that's the acronym for their official name (Israeli Defense Forces)

The entire name of the US military is the "United States Armed Forces", abbreviated to USAF which I've seen before but not common, possibly because just the Air Force has the same abbreviation. The UK is the British Armed Forces and France is the French Armed Forces. Most countries use that format, but Israel is an exception.

Another notable exception is Japan, which is has the "Japan Self-Defense Forces".

He's right.

Biden will get less than 60% of the jewish vote after this, I'm sure of that. >95% of haredim will vote Trump. And the Haley voters might be lost too. Muslims and progressive whites better be enough for him.

Why should Israel give a frick about being hated by Muslims? Their mere existence is enough for Muslims to hate them, so there's no reason to care. America and Europe are perpetually unpopular in these "Muslim" countries (until comes the time to beg for asylum) and there's not much they can do. Hell, based on what I know of sharia, if radical islamists don't hate you, you must be doing something wrong.

Can't speak for Israel, but I care because of the chain of logic it creates. People like you and OSR constantly make thinly-veiled remarks about how "antisemitism should be eradicated." What does antisemitism mean? Apparently, it means hating Israel. Well, guess what-- there are two million people in Gaza (granted, fewer with each passing day) who hate Israel for perfectly good reasons. What exactly do you want to do to them? Please, just come out and say it. Stop wasting everybody's time with these pathetic obfuscations.

Dule apparently believes anti-semitism is such an ingrained inherent part of the Palestinian mindset that it can never be removed without their death
