So I'm kind of a Sean O'Neal of the comments sections.

Except "Lucifer" is only covered on one thread. I imagine of this site had five or six article on it a day and gave major space to it unceasingly, you would complain.

Oh, I think you know the pain of reading something you didn't want to. You just demonstrated it. We're siblings under the skin.

Drunk on insight! None of us will ever look at Trump the same way again. His days of being a media darling are over!

You, uh, read all the way through this response when you didn't want to? Need a personal assistant?

Except 1) you've refused to acknowledge the distinction, and 2) have specifically referenced "average" people in Middle America, who don't make up those "driving the agenda," 3) are still ignoring that one can find extremists and "haters" on both sides.

I suggest you do the same.

All choices impact lives directly. You're just unwilling to look at the ways big government might actually hurt the people it tries to help, or even give people on the other side of the political spectrum the same basic human emotions as you have.

I'm not referring to that, and I agree with what you're saying . I was referring to politics being pushed into every facet of our lives these days, like the daily articles on Trump on this, an entertainment site.

I just dig the way Mark Hamill has aged. He'd developed a great sense of gravitas I frankly would never have imagined. He's actually gotten better looking as he's gotten older.

You are right to read Santorum that way. You are wrong to think "Santorum" = "all or the majority of conservatives." It's like deciding what black people are like based on the most extreme statements of Louis Farrakhan, or deciding all blacks must be antisemites because of a few comments from Jesse Jackson.

No they don't. One can form a community and still have strong social ties to other communities. Self-segregating means cutting others out of the picture who are different than we are.

You're just reading that into the data. You have no way of demonstrating your assertion.

I don't think "forming communities" (what that commenter said) and "self-segregating" (your words) are the same thing.

No, there aren't. The empathy levels are about the same. That doesn't mean Republican strategies are equally good. I don't support them at all. But that doesn't mean Republicans care less. It just means they express their caring differently. They'd rather choose to support a charitable organization or help privately…

Then why call attention to one group?

For what it's worth, I disagree with conservative politics, but I have no doubt that most conservatives, just like most liberals, want to implement what they consider the best choices for society. Both groups are largely comprised of ethical, intelligent people doing their best. I'm sorry to see either group demonized.

Everyone self-segregates. When I was going to a performing arts school, the kids of color always grouped together at their own table. I was the only white kid who ever sat with them. Gays will usually find other gays. Even men and women will choose their own over another. It's a typical thing.

I don't know what's weirder: you' definition of "piss baby" or your use of the term at all. You get off, I think literally, on insulting me. You're icky.

Even people who don't vote for those programs believe the less fortunate need help. Seriously, I hope you're young.
