FortWayne says

Religion is a big one Danny. It's freedom of thought.

Indoctrinating children is not freedom of thought.

Education of children is mandatory, right? Religious teaching is the opposite of education. That is why I am for banning of teaching religion to children. Once adult, they are free to think and believe whatever they want.

errc says

What about your team? You guys banned Industrial Hemp, and Cannabis flowers that people need to use for medicine. God put these great plants on this Earth for us to use, and your team puts people in prison for using a flower that we were given by God.

I dont agree w this either, but lets not compare weed to the 1st amendment.

Trotsky would be proud.

"Anti-religious propaganda played a critical role in the persecutions, because they were used to develop attitudes of hostility against believers which could then lead to justifying their mistreatment." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR_anti-religious_campaign_(1921%E2%80%9328)#Anti-Religious_Propaganda

FortWayne says

Religion is a big one Danny. It's freedom of thought. That's what you are banning.

Mindless delusions aren't freedom of thought. And don't tell me that you aren't in favor of banning Islam. You're also in favor of banning drugs like pot which literally are freedom of thought. So cut the hypocrisy.

Your false religion should not be a right, nonetheless a privileged religion. And yes, it's privilege not freedom to give tax exempt status to some religious institutes but not others. Does Wicca get tax exempt status?

FortWayne says

And it was your team that proposed banning "white males from voting".

A bold face lie. I don't remember Noam Chomsky ever suggesting anything remotely like that. That's your team, the conservatives. I don't care if your Shiite or Sunni, your still Muslim.

FortWayne says

Left also has been

Again, your team, not mine. Two factions of the same ideology just like Shiite and Sunni. Each faction hates the other, but its the same religion.

FP says

Indoctrinating children is not freedom of thought.

Agreed. It's the worse kind of child abuse.

"Anti-religious propaganda played a critical role in the persecutions, because they were used to develop attitudes of hostility against believers which could then lead to justifying their mistreatment."

Trotsky was a smart person, but this quote has nothing to do with what I wrote.

BTW, eradicating religion was one of the good things the communists did.

No other mental illness is considered a right. Why should religion be?

Dan8267 says

No other mental illness is considered a right. Why should religion be?

This is a good one. Although it is not really illness but early childhood indoctrination. One generation raised without religion will put the end to it.

The United States has NEVER had freedom of religion. It has only had a few highly privileged state-sponsored religions.

What if your religion advocates polygamy like the Mormons did? Oh, you have to stop that or the army won't protect you from invaders.

What if your religion marries off preteens to adults like Islam does? Nope, that doesn't go either.

What if your religion demands not paying taxes? Not a chance.

What if your religion demands secrecy and uses unbreakably encrypted communication? Opps, we can't have that.

What if religion forbids wearing clothes since the gods created you naked? Well, tough cookies.

What if your religion uses mind altering drugs like marijuana for spiritual visions? Nope, it's still against the law.

What if your religion is new? Nope, only religions created by people who died a long time ago are allowed.

Freedom of religion, my ass. It's privilege for a few fraudulent state-sponsored religions.

FP says

One generation raised without religion will put the end to it.

It's extremely rare for an adult not raised on religion to become religious as an adult. Religious propagation requires brainwashing children, who simply do not have the mental capacity to resist the brainwashing. This is why childhood indoctrination by religion is child abuse. It's no different that stoning a child with hard-core drugs.

CBOEtrader says

Anti-religious propaganda

Weigh the evil done in the name of religion to the evil done in the name of ending religion and there's no comparison. Religion is the cause of the greatest atrocities throughout history. To deny this is the most despicable of lies.

CBOEtrader says

Trotsky would be proud.

Hitler was a Christian, so I guess Hitler would be proud of you.

Playing the guilt by lose association game is damn easy to do.

Dan8267 says

Exactly! This is what I give as evidence that religion is nonsense.

C'mon, Trotsky was a revolutionary who fought and made personal sacrifices for an ideal of a just society. Can't be compared to Hitler.

Allege, allege, allege...

to assert without proof

There may be a link between Trump and Russians, but now here you have a narrative from the same establishment that bombarded you with the Iraq narrative: Hussein having chemical weapons is an unbearable risk for the US. The same establishment that took seriously the idea that Kerry shot himself to get a medal and later become president.

Now that they have their narrative, THEY are going to blast him with it day by day, from every direction, from many countries, from many angles.
Until they find a way to get rid of him for good.

I'm not defending Trump, but they have a lock on the system, and they are not going to tolerate an outsider.

Patrick is in the twilight zone, man.

He could LITERALLY watch Trump strangle an innocent bystander to death in front of his own eyes, in plain daylight, and then someone Designjet it happened or attempt to justify it.

Im not religious. Im a liberal, unlike either of you. Liberals believe in free speech.

Those political movements who stray from free speech ALWAYS trend towards violence. Always.

FP says

BTW, eradicating religion was one of the good things the communists did.

This is insanity. The marxists used religion as a reason to oppress people. Also, just like you, they wanted to control indoctrination during core development years. You arent allowed to decide what a parent teaches a child.

FP says

C'mon, Trotsky was a revolutionary who fought and made personal sacrifices for an ideal of a just society. Can't be compared to Hitler.

You need to take a long look in the mirror. Are you in antifa? Communists killed 15 (?) times as many people as the nazis? Freedom of speech is THE core right on which all other rights hinge. Thats why its the 1st amendment. Both the nazis and communists are data points.

Show me a religious group that believed in rights for all people while killing others. Its never happened. I dont give a fuck about religion, I care about free speech. Extremism thrives when free speech is limited, not in a free society.

the more you see the rights they really wanted was the right to profit hugely from slavery.

Moreso the right to not be attacked by the north.

"opinional journalism"

What the fuck is that? Free form speculation, projection, and paranoia loosely amalgamated as fact?

Dan8267 says

You posted a reference to a joke long forgotten. Your actions divulge your obsession.

False. You Lie!

I posted a link to the original Seth Rich thread, because CBOE referred to Hillary as my witch.

You are just unfunny, and you know it's true. That's why it bothers you so much. I couldn't give any fucks less, was just trying to help you out, pal

Looks like I triggered errc again. Christ, I wasn't even trying.

CBOEtrader says

Also, just like you, they wanted to control indoctrination during core development years

Not control, but eliminate. That's entirely the opposite of what you are accusing me of.

You are demonstrating remarkable lack of reading comprehension.

CBOEtrader says

You need to take a long look in the mirror.

I'd say you need to educate yourself, but I doubt it would be sufficient without a better genetic material.

1.34 billion need to learn: "Civilization is a heat engine."
Every new birth adds to the heat.
Have babies & watch them die.

Leading edge solution.
Looks like we got global warming taken care of.
Next...

This ape is witnessing first hand the power of the deep state.

The deep state is President,Secretary,Treasurer & control the by-laws of the Big Club.

Good.

Why didn't they just construct them next to buildings with long covered hall way like structures, with airfoil slats in the wall at the front and back to promote draft.
A breezeway would be the Liberal Science small carbon foot print way of doing things.
But of course we've all noticed that the 3rd World countries that has the cheapest labor in the world. Are expected to waste and consume as much fossil fuels as they require.
It only irks the NGO's when fat disgusting Americans use it to get from Point A to Point B of their won fruition.

on a day like today, it's good to have a NAC stored away...:)

The conservative right has been making death threats against the workers removing the statues, thus proving that they are no different from the conservative left.

Death threats prompt workers to wear bulletproof vests while removing Confederate monument in New Orleans

New Orleans taking down Confederate statues; officials facing death threats

And this is for taking down statues of traitors who murdered countless Americans in order to enslave countless other Americans. They are as bad as ISIS, and those who support them are are bad as those who support ISIS, and for the exact same reasons.

Dan already justified violence against white folk. Just forgot his usual slaver name he has for us all.

FortWayne says

Dan already justified violence against white folk

Another lie. I've never advocated racial violence. Not against whites or anyone else. You are full of shit.

SubOink says

On a day like today it is good to have VIX June call options. This was the third exclelllent opportunity this year for a long volatility trade.

Trump made made $ for with his election, now he is doing the same with his downfall.

I thought it was pretty good, I'm not sure why there is so much rage over it, but the students trying to abolish free speech is about as ironic as reality gets.

I saw the movie, and can say there is absolutely nothing offensive in it.

To ban such a movie is pure politics.

FP says

well done - I almost got September VIX calls but ended up not, now kicking myself

Sept is too far away - too much volatility risk premium (VRP) and time value.

The second month futures, around the time the front month expires, are the best play in my opinion. Vega is large enough to compensate theta (volatility increases as expiration approaches). The correlation with the VIX is also large.

Yesterday the VVIX also collapsed (to 78) so it was a double play. Very little downsside. The 12.5 strike calls got filled in at 0.90 at the close yesterday. 2.50 at the close today.

Who puts shit in a blender?
