I have a question

One thing I still like about Steve Shives Ask Aways is that this Anarcho-Syndicalist get some ideas of topics or question to ask.

Like, in your opinion, when someone say they have "Liberal views," what do you think they mean? What "Liberal views?"

Reefer Madness, Du Pont, & the Marihuana Tax Act of 1939

Reefer Madness, Du Pont, and the Marihuana Tax Act of 1939

By TLB Contributing Author: Ken LaRive

I do not in any way advocate the use of drugs in any shape or form, including marijuana. But we all deserve to know the possible reasons behind the law that has ruined an industry, and put countless people behind bars.

I was slouching quite comfortably in the LaGuardia Airport several years ago,…

Yooo.

So I'm a bit perplexed about this Twitter thing going on about Melania Trump having approval ratings higher than her "President" husband (and I put quotes on such word because he "claims" to "reform America", where, he actually did the opposite while in office). About 45% or so people are surprisingly giving this lady a thumbs up, according to a news source, but where, as a woman, would that put me? Now I am quite unsure, in my opinion, whether I myself should I feel sympathy for her, because she is perceived as a "pawn" or puppet for her husband's alleged misdeeds, or disgust/disappointment in her because she is just as guilty as he is by being passive and not say anything. When can she speak up and say, for example "look, what you did was not right for the people of America; you shouldn't have banned transgendered people from serving in the military," or such? My answer: possibly never, considering the way her husband is now. This kind of shit makes me wonder how a woman of her stature can ever be with a man who discriminates against those who are not like him...please help explain to me why...

The thing i hate that most is that my dad supports trump. I cant stand up for the things i believe in because if i do he'll kick me out. I cant be the "libtard trash" that i am because my own father will hate me and disown me. All i wanna do is make everyone feel happy and safe and loved. But for some reason, in my house, thats a crime. And it kills me because i feel so strongly about everything thats going on right now and everytime i hear my father speak i want to cry because all he preaches is hate, and the only thing i want to feel is love.

A Liberal’s View of Aggression - Part One

Good evening!

I have come here today, and crawled out from under a couple of dozen blankets I sleep under just to bring you a not-at-all subjective view on one of the least creative,yet most re-usable subjects out there – aggression.

It's a tad ironic that the main reason I'm writing this is the aggressive approach of a certain English teacher, and here I am trying to send a message against aggression! In general, I'm not an aggressive individual, and neither are most people, but for all of us, there's at least one thing that makes us go from absolute serenity to blistering, unstoppable fury – to us, those things are like cubs to a mother bear. If you attack us, we become aggravated beasts with no mercy for our enemies! Insulting a gamer's favorite series will grant you an enemy for a lifetime, spawning an aggression level of over 9000. Try to visit a social media site and say a single bad thing about any celebrity. Don't! You'll get attacked by countless angry fans that will resort to even the worst insults. (I speak from experience.)

We've been taught that you shouldn't fight fire with fire (unless it's a forest fire), and it's a good life lesson – countering an attack with another attack only leads to a pointless war over something that really isn't worth the bloodshed. Think of all the nice people that died having stolen someone else's cow.  As pacifists say, 'An eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind.' Well said, random peace lover! Also, thanks to the civilization for making the 'eye for an eye' system illegal! Imagine if it were legal! Eye-patch sales would skyrocket! Designer glass eyes would be a thing! Monocles would be worn again!!!

Since I've started it with the whole joke about eyes, I might as well cover the physical aspect of aggression – the classic brawling, dueling, throwing down the gauntlet, et cetera. Back in the old days, arguments weren't solved by talking and being nice – they were solved by bashing the opponent with your fists, driving a hunk of steel into one's vital organs or sending a lead projectile at high speed towards the one you're quarreling with. These customs have become obsolete due to diplomacy and the evolution of weaponry. Today, these ways are practiced only by those rich enough to hire others to do it for them and convince masses to support their arguments. There's a reason why the Geneva convention was held: it was to stop people from going further with weapon research! (That, and so surgeons don't have to work overtime treating poisoned patients and extracting bullet fragments!) After wars, people would no longer die as often of old age, pneumonia and polio but would lose their lives to stray landmines, starvation because their fields had been destroyed, and various attacks by those who had forgotten that the war was over and the regime had fallen.

But don't forget that people can change! Look at Japan, everybody! Look at that small island country that was once a major aggressor and is now a peaceful tech giant (ignore the awful demographic data for now).

People today are more tolerant, there's less aggression on a major scale and the biggest fights most people engage in on a daily basis are the Battle of the Final Cookie or the War of Channels! They express their anger through things that don't hurt anyone: some play video games, some yell at athletes, some ARE athletes, and some write columns!

Thank you, dear reader I've never met, for reading this lengthy rant I've written in the last moment, and I hope you will not be handing out or dealing with any major form of aggression any time soon!

A liberal professor’s views on how his students have changed over the years - how their feelings have become more easily hurt by the ideas presented in his lectures and how that could threaten his career (and have ended the careers of many good teachers). This oversensitivity of those students quick to decry/react and not listen (and critically filter information) have severely damaged discourse of logical and objectively presented topics. A worthy read with many valid points made. –MM
