inferior education and some life experiences. What these idiots don't get, is moronic statements like this apply to them too!

The pursed lips, the lines in her face which show this is her habitual expression. She's an miserable person who thinks everyone should be more miserable than she is.

I am torn between disliking these people and feeling sorry for them for being unable to see out of the little bubble of misery and hate they live in.

The GOP is the party of voter suppression and will do its best to keep people from voting

In this, and many other countries, there is a basic problem between the people of different parties, differnent factions, opinions.

In the case of this particular person I'd like to know her definition of "Social Justice." I'd put a lot of money the fact that it is far different than my definition or yours.

We cannot even begin to have a debate or productive discussion about topics when we're not all starting out with the same understanding of terms we're debating and using in our debates. We'll just keep yelling, nastily twitering and posting on social media without even the most basic common ground.

Take abortion for example. One large section of the anti-abortion movement believes that IUDs and drugs that prevent pregnancy are abortion. We cannot debate them about this because their definition is so stident and not at all open to being changed by science and facts.

We cannot debate people who will not even agree with us on basic terms related to an issue we wish to debate.

That is the biggest issue. Too many 'already know the answers' and nothing will change that.
