I believe men to be the oppressed in American society. - Page 9 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You are right. We need to conquer the leftists holding us back and making the world such a dangerous place, and let markets and technology come up with a solution.

you mean liberals?

No. I think liberals are the good guys.

Liberal: relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.

Sounds like the good guys to me. Anathema to the authoritarian, socialist far left.

oh we don't have any liberals in America. We have the far right and we have the right. With 20% of the worlds prison population but a constitution that says innocent until proven guilty, you immediately know two things

the US is an authoritarian state
the US does not respect the legal rights of citizens.

Trump famously said take the guns first, due process second.

we dont have liberals and we dont have the left. we have a military industrial complex that gives us two of the same candidates and says CHOOSE

There's going to be some huge converging going on in the next millisecond of evolutionary time.

**** sapien is going to be an incredibly short period in evolutionary history. May make an interesting footnote

Less obviosuly the same is true for capitalism as we know it. An important but short stage we are burning through quickly.

There is a lot of political motivation behind that questionable science that claims that selfishness is innately more present in humans than selflessness. The fact we only got big once we started learning how to communicate effectively and work in groups is evidence enough that we are better at co-operating than surviving, let alone thriving alone. We're not mountain lions. Basically everything good that we do is collaborative. This is self-evident.

I geerally agree but not sure why dawkins gets thrown under the bus in some posts. Dawkins work is aboiut the selfish gene. We have evolved traits that are highly cooperative because it is good for the genes.

Healthy masculinity and manners are the man paying for everything

So if I don’t pay for everything, I’m being rude

I believe men to be the oppressed in American society.

Can we get some feminism in here? Jeez

Are you upset that they didn't have a "slow pay" option?

I legit loled at this one.

Pointless, men have the luxury of being able to attract women in various different ways, which includes being financially successful. A woman that is not fortunate enough to be pretty has far less options than a similarly ugly, but rich, man. Men being expected to pay is an extension of that, and it is not as oppressive as you think it is.

He probably has problems "stiffing" them from beginning to end.
