    Ice, old friend, you expecting too much.

    This generation, like no other, has absolutely no problem with logical inconsistencies of all kinds. They have the God-given talent to
    completely forget, or otherwise wipe from their consciousness, any
    demonstrable facts that conflict with their heart-felt belief systems.
    As with civics classes in school, they were also never taught about the
    concept of hypocrisy, and hence it has no meaning for them.

    Literally, they can suspend the laws of physics, if necessary. This is
    what happens where they seem to completely ignore that physics-based limitations on electrical storage batteries in cold weather. They are
    the kind who will cheerfully buy an over-priced e-car before there are
    adequate recharging strategies, in places like Denver or Minneapolis
    where the battery will hold a greatly reduced charge for 4+ months out
    of the year.

    And here's their work-around: they'll have a second car that is internal combustion. It will be used probably > 50% of the time. But at parties
    they'll only mention the e-car to their like-minded friends.

    These are the ones who would cheerfully, optimistically march into the
    funnel at Auschwitz. No mid-20th C Jew was dumb enough to do this, but
    then these folks aren't Jews and this isn't the mid-1900s.

    Of course not, b!

    But why ask me? Ask the reflexively progressive people out there. Those
    same ones who think that parochial pride parades, where one group is
    separated from the whole based on birth identity or self-identification,
    ask them.

    Making separate months, separate demands for recognition based on group identity, is a poor idea at the best of times. This includes Irishmen, Italians, Veterans of Foreign Wars, etc. The public celebrations of
    national accomplishment, not based on small group identities, seem the
    most positive and least subject to abuse.

    I still think they tend to be bullshit, but they're less divisive,
    unless you bring division (aka attitude) with you.

    Lockheed supports this because they have gay employees, like many tech and other companies do.
    Maybe I didn't make this clear, but my comment referred not to gays, nor >> to Lockheed, but to all of the others who look with apparent vicarious
    satisfaction on such things as pride parades and might even think that, >> by association, Lockheed is somehow woke and enlightened ad yes, cool.

    Iceberg notes that this enlightened company makes and sells military
    weapons that kill indiscriminately, and implies that somehow that
    somehow all those who feel satisfaction that Lockheed recognizes gays,
    Ice usually implies wrong things.

    I didn't say that, either.

    Ice and Twistis are not in any way reliable posters. Certainly not on topics like this.

    etc. fail to note that this same Lockheed sells weapons that are used to >> kill without regard to who is being killed.

    My response involves why they are able to do this without either
    question or twinge, apparently.
    They make bombs, sure. Nasty stuff. But isn't it more complicated than that? Are all uses of lethal weapons wrong?



    Of course not, b!

    But why ask me? Ask the reflexively progressive people out there. Those
    same ones who think that parochial pride parades, where one group is separated from the whole based on birth identity or self-identification,
    ask them.

    OK. From "kill without regard to who is being killed" I concluded that you think Lockheed is evil. I don't agree with a lot of American foreign policy, but I recognize the need for a national defense.

    Making separate months, separate demands for recognition based on group identity, is a poor idea at the best of times. This includes Irishmen, Italians, Veterans of Foreign Wars, etc. The public celebrations of
    national accomplishment, not based on small group identities, seem the
    most positive and least subject to abuse.

    I still think they tend to be bullshit, but they're less divisive,
    unless you bring division (aka attitude) with you.

    I have no problem if people want to have Irish, Italian, VFW, gay parades.

    But I don't agree with you, it seems, that gay people must reject companies like Lockheed. Many do, probably, so I get that it's a bit odd. But we live in an odd world :-)

    OK. From "kill without regard to who is being killed" I concluded that you think Lockheed is evil.

    I don't tend to think in terms of good/evil. It's a different axis.

    I start from the *personal assumption* that long-term static social
    stability that results in general civil content such that there isn't
    fear to interact with other conforming members is extremely.

    Anything that tends to deliver this I tend to support, and that which
    works against it I worry about--it is a threat to me and how I like to live.

    I don't agree with a lot of American foreign policy, but I recognize the need for a national defense.

    Making separate months, separate demands for recognition based on group
    identity, is a poor idea at the best of times. This includes Irishmen,
    Italians, Veterans of Foreign Wars, etc. The public celebrations of
    national accomplishment, not based on small group identities, seem the
    most positive and least subject to abuse.

    I still think they tend to be bullshit, but they're less divisive,
    unless you bring division (aka attitude) with you.
    I have no problem if people want to have Irish, Italian, VFW, gay parades.

    Seems silly as shit to me. Think of the hubris that drives members of a
    small distinct group--by their own definition--to think that having a
    public demonstration that displaces normal daily activity is just fine, everyone *should* like it and appreciate it. Frankly, they don't give a
    damn if it does--it's a way to enforce de facto recognition.

    It's like expecting the public school system to teach anything other
    than a time-limited remediation period in a language other than English.
    In the case of my Mom, her folks thought it would be good for her to
    learn the the old alphabet so as to be able to read Cyrillic. For my
    wife, her folks thought it would be great to learn Japanese and to be
    able to read hiragana, katakana, and kanji; it would please the
    grandparents.

    Now neither group expected this to be taught and "celebrated" in the
    public school system, rightly recognizing that while people will express
    a level of positive interest mostly as a social gesture, they really
    don't care all that much, and should not be expected to pay for such instruction. So they paid for private specialized instruction by
    interested parties from the same cultural communities.

    Really, this is about where the limit of celebration of distinct groups belong--within that community.


    But I don't agree with you, it seems, that gay people must reject companies like Lockheed.

    No, not necessarily gay people, b. Those who reflexively support
    progressive social agendas. It seems like such folk have never met a
    trend that's blessed by progressive spokespeople that they don't
    instantly like.

    Now, to tie back into what I first said when talking about good/evil, I
    see all of this as tremendously de-stabilizing of the majority in favor
    of responding to one or more minorities--some quite small.

    There is a sort of default expectancy that majority accommodates an
    increasing list of demands, while nor corresponding compromise is
    expected of those making the demands. You give; we take.

    This seldom ends well.

    Many do, probably, so I get that it's a bit odd. But we live in an odd world :-)

    You're certainly right about that, b...

    But I don't expect it to change in any way that I'd recognize as
    positive, so that's that.

    they the world's biggest defence contractor, they are 100% evil in the world of the leftist virtue-signallers, remember these types ban/wreck folks for making jokes about trans men, comapre that to thousands of people/innocents being killed each year
    thanks to LM products! they are also especially evil in the context of an alleged peace & love parade!! in fact can you get worse than that?? amazing seeing bmoore defending such things from the leftist pro-gays! next he'll be defending them carrying "

    the answer is they should be totally rejecting a company like Lockheed if they had any decency, morals or sense of hypocrisy, but they don't at all and they don't care about their social issue really either, same with a majority of the BLM crowd.

    it'll prob end well for Lockheed Martin, prob get a few more $BILLION contracts from Biden and co for the Taiwan crisis + the gay folks will have an excuse to apply for jobs at the company too "oh they may bomb kids but they supported that pride parade",
    amazing.

    My response involves why they are able to do this without either

    They make bombs, sure. Nasty stuff. But isn't it more complicated than that? Are all uses of lethal weapons wrong?

    what are you on about, comrade bmoore, Lockheed Martin are the world's biggest weapons maker, their products kill thousands and many innocents every year! it's hilarious to see your transvestite Marxist gay and gay-supporting leftist idiot pals marching
    with and endorsing a company like that, at a parade they claim is about peace & love & also demanding the 2nd amendment be removed LOL
    the hypocrisy is beyond hilarious + it insane to reckon Lockheed Martin are somehow woke/good cos they like gays, just like sawfish said!

    They make bombs, sure. Nasty stuff. But isn't it more complicated than that? Are all uses of lethal weapons wrong?



    Of course not, b!

    But why ask me? Ask the reflexively progressive people out there. Those >> same ones who think that parochial pride parades, where one group is
    separated from the whole based on birth identity or self-identification, >> ask them.
    OK. From "kill without regard to who is being killed" I concluded that you think Lockheed is evil.
    I don't tend to think in terms of good/evil. It's a different axis.

    I start from the *personal assumption* that long-term static social stability that results in general civil content such that there isn't
    fear to interact with other conforming members is extremely.

    Anything that tends to deliver this I tend to support, and that which
    works against it I worry about--it is a threat to me and how I like to live.
    I don't agree with a lot of American foreign policy, but I recognize the need for a national defense.

    Making separate months, separate demands for recognition based on group >> identity, is a poor idea at the best of times. This includes Irishmen,
    Italians, Veterans of Foreign Wars, etc. The public celebrations of
    national accomplishment, not based on small group identities, seem the
    most positive and least subject to abuse.

    I still think they tend to be bullshit, but they're less divisive,
    unless you bring division (aka attitude) with you.
    I have no problem if people want to have Irish, Italian, VFW, gay parades.
    Seems silly as shit to me. Think of the hubris that drives members of a small distinct group--by their own definition--to think that having a
    public demonstration that displaces normal daily activity is just fine, everyone *should* like it and appreciate it. Frankly, they don't give a
    damn if it does--it's a way to enforce de facto recognition.

    It's like expecting the public school system to teach anything other
    than a time-limited remediation period in a language other than English.
    In the case of my Mom, her folks thought it would be good for her to
    learn the the old alphabet so as to be able to read Cyrillic. For my
    wife, her folks thought it would be great to learn Japanese and to be
    able to read hiragana, katakana, and kanji; it would please the grandparents.

    Now neither group expected this to be taught and "celebrated" in the
    public school system, rightly recognizing that while people will express
    a level of positive interest mostly as a social gesture, they really
    don't care all that much, and should not be expected to pay for such instruction. So they paid for private specialized instruction by
    interested parties from the same cultural communities.

    Really, this is about where the limit of celebration of distinct groups belong--within that community.

    But I don't agree with you, it seems, that gay people must reject companies like Lockheed.
    No, not necessarily gay people, b. Those who reflexively support
    progressive social agendas. It seems like such folk have never met a
    trend that's blessed by progressive spokespeople that they don't
    instantly like.

    Now, to tie back into what I first said when talking about good/evil, I
    see all of this as tremendously de-stabilizing of the majority in favor
    of responding to one or more minorities--some quite small.

    There is a sort of default expectancy that majority accommodates an increasing list of demands, while nor corresponding compromise is
    expected of those making the demands. You give; we take.

    This seldom ends well.
    Many do, probably, so I get that it's a bit odd. But we live in an odd world :-)
    You're certainly right about that, b...

    But I don't expect it to change in any way that I'd recognize as
    positive, so that's that.

    Sawfish, I don't care about who marches to what drummer. I've got a lot of work to do.

    Literally, they can suspend the laws of physics, if necessary. This is

    But I don't expect it to change in any way that I'd recognize as
    positive, so that's that.
    Sawfish, I don't care about who marches to what drummer. I've got a lot of work to do.
    But I did used to enjoy the PT Barnum Festival parade when I was a kid. Loved those Shriners in their little cars.

    This way to the egress...

    They were weird fuckers, no two ways about it. With hindsight, hard to
    see how they could have ever been taken seriously, by anyone. But times
    change: they were considered respected members of local society.

    The best display I ever saw was in Orange County, maybe Santa Ana, back
    in the late 60s, when it was still mostly white and a bastion of
    old-school McCarthy/Goldwater conservatism. Went to a big outdoor
    pancake breakfast, too.

    Ice, old friend, you expecting too much.

    This generation, like no other, has absolutely no problem with logical
    inconsistencies of all kinds. They have the God-given talent to >>>>>> completely forget, or otherwise wipe from their consciousness, any >>>>>> demonstrable facts that conflict with their heart-felt belief systems.
    As with civics classes in school, they were also never taught about the
    concept of hypocrisy, and hence it has no meaning for them.

    Literally, they can suspend the laws of physics, if necessary. This is
    what happens where they seem to completely ignore that physics-based
    limitations on electrical storage batteries in cold weather. They are
    the kind who will cheerfully buy an over-priced e-car before there are
    adequate recharging strategies, in places like Denver or Minneapolis
    where the battery will hold a greatly reduced charge for 4+ months out
    of the year.

    And here's their work-around: they'll have a second car that is internal
    combustion. It will be used probably > 50% of the time. But at parties
    they'll only mention the e-car to their like-minded friends.

    These are the ones who would cheerfully, optimistically march into the
    funnel at Auschwitz. No mid-20th C Jew was dumb enough to do this, but
    then these folks aren't Jews and this isn't the mid-1900s.
    Lockheed supports this because they have gay employees, like many tech and other companies do.
    Maybe I didn't make this clear, but my comment referred not to gays, nor
    to Lockheed, but to all of the others who look with apparent vicarious
    satisfaction on such things as pride parades and might even think that,
    by association, Lockheed is somehow woke and enlightened ad yes, cool.

    Iceberg notes that this enlightened company makes and sells military >>>> weapons that kill indiscriminately, and implies that somehow that >>>> somehow all those who feel satisfaction that Lockheed recognizes gays,
    Ice usually implies wrong things.

    I didn't say that, either.

    Ice and Twistis are not in any way reliable posters. Certainly not on topics like this.

    etc. fail to note that this same Lockheed sells weapons that are used to
    kill without regard to who is being killed.

    My response involves why they are able to do this without either
    question or twinge, apparently.
    They make bombs, sure. Nasty stuff. But isn't it more complicated than that? Are all uses of lethal weapons wrong?



    Of course not, b!

    But why ask me? Ask the reflexively progressive people out there. Those >> same ones who think that parochial pride parades, where one group is
    separated from the whole based on birth identity or self-identification,
    ask them.
    OK. From "kill without regard to who is being killed" I concluded that you think Lockheed is evil.
    I don't tend to think in terms of good/evil. It's a different axis.

    I start from the *personal assumption* that long-term static social stability that results in general civil content such that there isn't
    fear to interact with other conforming members is extremely.

    Anything that tends to deliver this I tend to support, and that which works against it I worry about--it is a threat to me and how I like to live.
    I don't agree with a lot of American foreign policy, but I recognize the need for a national defense.

    Making separate months, separate demands for recognition based on group >> identity, is a poor idea at the best of times. This includes Irishmen, >> Italians, Veterans of Foreign Wars, etc. The public celebrations of
    national accomplishment, not based on small group identities, seem the >> most positive and least subject to abuse.

    I still think they tend to be bullshit, but they're less divisive,
    unless you bring division (aka attitude) with you.
    I have no problem if people want to have Irish, Italian, VFW, gay parades.
    Seems silly as shit to me. Think of the hubris that drives members of a small distinct group--by their own definition--to think that having a public demonstration that displaces normal daily activity is just fine, everyone *should* like it and appreciate it. Frankly, they don't give a damn if it does--it's a way to enforce de facto recognition.

    It's like expecting the public school system to teach anything other
    than a time-limited remediation period in a language other than English. In the case of my Mom, her folks thought it would be good for her to
    learn the the old alphabet so as to be able to read Cyrillic. For my
    wife, her folks thought it would be great to learn Japanese and to be
    able to read hiragana, katakana, and kanji; it would please the grandparents.

    Now neither group expected this to be taught and "celebrated" in the public school system, rightly recognizing that while people will express
    a level of positive interest mostly as a social gesture, they really
    don't care all that much, and should not be expected to pay for such instruction. So they paid for private specialized instruction by interested parties from the same cultural communities.

    Really, this is about where the limit of celebration of distinct groups belong--within that community.

    But I don't agree with you, it seems, that gay people must reject companies like Lockheed.
    No, not necessarily gay people, b. Those who reflexively support progressive social agendas. It seems like such folk have never met a
    trend that's blessed by progressive spokespeople that they don't
    instantly like.

    Now, to tie back into what I first said when talking about good/evil, I see all of this as tremendously de-stabilizing of the majority in favor
    of responding to one or more minorities--some quite small.

    There is a sort of default expectancy that majority accommodates an increasing list of demands, while nor corresponding compromise is
    expected of those making the demands. You give; we take.

    This seldom ends well.
    Many do, probably, so I get that it's a bit odd. But we live in an odd world :-)
    You're certainly right about that, b...

    But I don't expect it to change in any way that I'd recognize as

    Sawfish, I don't care about who marches to what drummer. I've got a lot of work to do.

    it pretty obvious you work for one of those giant defence companies that make bombs, missiles, guns etc.
