| They're still out there, they're just not 'en vogue' at the moment and so they have no audience thus you're not hearing about their bogus predictions. Then there's also the popular doomsday prophecy you're not considering because it's so widely read it's skipped over: the Book of Revelation. |

| Personally I think Kavanaugh is great, he's showing that Republican males really aren't what you've been told. Who would have thought behind all that macho rhetoric they're really diary writers, calendar takers, and late 20's virginity losers that sob and cry on the stand under the first signs of p... |

| I think Alex Jones was dethroned from these various social media platforms due to said institutions growing a backbone and getting tired of the things he has said or expressed. Nor is this an issue of free speech, I think in some ways, as this is speculation on my part that these various entities p... |

And I disagree ASPartOfMe, it's not wealthier millenials they're after, the entire station is geared to those between 16-24. It should be noted though the ag... |

| I just had jury duty 2 weeks ago (fifth time I've been called in the 18 years I've been a registered voter). It's basically just sitting and listening. I've never once been asked a question by the judge or an attorney, they've always found their jury well before my name pops up. |

| The textbook case for this is Richard Wagner. Although not a Nazi he heavily influenced Nazi culture and thought, and not just with his music but also his personal writings (when talking Judaism Wagner's writing makes Hitler sound like a pacifistic diplomat). Further complicating the matter is that ... |

| For a social animal making a kill on a larger target isn't what you save your energy for, you save it for fighting the other social creatures for the spoils. That in essence is society: it doesn't matter who actually does what to drive the group forward, or make the biggest contribution, it's about ... |

| Alex Jones is a modern day Cassandra. If he's the modern day Cassandra you're saying he's a concubine, who's the strong man master he's giving up his pooter to every night? She was not a concubine.

All I'm getting out of that advertisement is that his weight loss gives you a sunburn. But it's Alex Jones so even that's probably photoshoped. |

| I tend to view things more abstractly. Humans are a life form, all life forms compete for limited resources, in terms of society this conflict can lead to war over said resources. We’re at a point as a species that we’re pulling out more resources than the Earth can reproduce (I’m mobile atm so I ca... |
