    This is why philosophy is not religion. Also, why philosophy does not yield to science.
    Philosophy which leads people with penises to think they menstruate and can have babies.

    Agreed philosophy isn't religion; religion is a subset of philosophy. Philosophy and science are two different things, both of which are used by human beings.

    Consider one of my favorite subjects: guns. A gun is a product of science; linear thinking. It requires skills in metallurgy and chemistry to manufacture and to function reliably when needed. Philosophy is the guiding principle for how people determine how the gun is used.

    That said, nutjobs don't count since they are nutjobs. I doubt any of the prominent mass shooters are capable of discussing high-minded philosophical reasons for committing mass murder. Most did it out of anger with an end game of suicide. <-- with all respect to Albert Camus.

    That's not philosophy, dumbass. Name a male who thinks he can menstruate and have babies and I'll show you a nutjob.

    Do you have any college? A class or two?

    Both are clearly authoritarian. Notice how AHZ wants to dictate to Americans what to believe, how to live and how to think. Same goes for the LW wackos using the same strategy.

    As each party moves to extremes, there is a greater divide between them and less chance of compromise. Our national politics has been in this phase of our history since the end of the Cold War when America had to reinvent itself, again. Hopefully, we are seeing the final stages of this phase and we'll begin reentering a phase of growth and cooperation by the end of the decade.

    That's leftist philosophy you donkey brained moron.

    Ooooh I get it you're one of those that thinks going to college makes people smart. Am I right? Oh course I'm fucking right. No need wasting time in the answer. If you think it's true then you're dumber than I imagined and i some imagination about just how stupid you actually are.

    According to you, Yak. The fact you can't name a single male idiot claiming that is another reason why your judgement and veracity are suspect.

    No, dumbass. Smart people are smart. College is education. You? You're just a loudmouthed dumbass who can't accept that there are people smarter and better educated than yourself. Instead of recognizing that truism, you blame others; usually Jews, Blacks and transsexuals.

    Get a fucking clue, moron. It's not too late.
