I Hate Both The Right And The Left

@questionWeaver I agree that there are no entitlements but to delete comments that oppose yours sends the opposite message of what you are conveying. If what that person says is pure nonsense then let it be debated and people will determine if its nonsense. But to delete a comment, call it nonsense and not elaborate on why its nonsense is intellectual dishonesty at its finest.

@Zenyatta

it is liberty and pragmatism at its finest!

Much written just wastes time and does not need consensus to determine that.

Parents all the time cherish the daffy writings of their children ... but we should never extend that to the larger world ...

if you write something worth reading the first time ... folks may listen to you next time.

But, time is cherished too ... and I always appreciate not having to read dumb stuff.

so ... I like aggressive moderators

@questionWeaver This is literally nothing but a craven way of saying "I do not like this individual's train of thought contradicts what I say and is invading my safe space/echo chamber, therefore, I must remove it."
This is the exact opposite of Liberty. It is self-serving manipulation and oppression.

@Zenyatta

lol ... clearly you do not appreciate individual liberty.

in the US, we do not have to tolerate what others say. ... it supported by the whole life, liberty and pursuit of happiness gig.

Part of what makes America GREAT!

@questionWeaver Yes, we do not have to tolerate what others say, and guess what we do about it? We either ignore it until it becomes a bigger problem or debate it. Discourse is what makes American GREAT!

@Zenyatta Discourse is what universities do.

Individualism makes America great ... our individual liberties.

Nowhere in America has there been a bias for discussion and consensus ... that is English.

America is the land that encourages individualism ... never well-ordered progress.

we play football ... the QB calls the plays ... he does not ask for opinion and discussion.

@questionWeaver Yes America encourage individualism but indoctrinate collectivism and express outrage when individuality is present.

@Zenyatta The outage only occurs in the cities ... and they are shrinking

@questionWeaver Oh no there's outrage out here in the country as well

@Zenyatta

lol ... no there isn't ... this is Trump turf

@questionWeaver Wow that really went over your head
