Hillary Clinton was always going to be a controversial candidate for the Democratic Party. She carries a lot of baggage with people from her time as First Lady, and starting with a high disapproval rating like she did is a bad start for any candidate. Hillary failed the key test of 2016. When Bill Clinton ran he had a sign on his campaign headquarters wall that read: "It's the economy stupid." Though she outlined many policies, she failed to address the fundamental economic insecurity that was the crux of this election. Onyx, it's ironic that you talked about it being "Hillary's turn." That's how the Republicans decided their presidential candidates for decades. Dole, McCain, and Romney were all taking their turn for the Republicans. 1980 had a brutal primary battle between Reagan and Bush. 2000 had one between Bush and McCain. But usually the Republicans have one standout candidate in the wings. Remember in 2014 how commentators said it was Jeb Bush who was the prohibitive favorite for the Republican nomination? Brutal, bruising primary fights were usually the provenance of the Democratic Party. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Trump won election because of an insecure middle class that's seen their economic opportunities wither while Congress dithers. He promised to jump start the economy with tax cuts, infrastructure spending, deregulation, and protectionist trade policies. I don't think people cared about whether he was a womanizer, a racist, fickle, or corrupt. They cared about whether they and their families would survive another four years with declining economic opportunities.

I like arguing too. I argue with pretty much anyone/everyone when it comes to politics. If they're receptive and open-minded enough not to just reiterate a bunch of partisan talking points it's fantastic. I can learn new things, and maybe they can too. I don't care if lk2fireone posts this thread, any more than I didn't care about the rants that came at Obama from the right. If it makes him feel better, so be it. I read them, shake my head, and despair for the republic--not because the policies will ruin us, but because I fear normalizing bad behavior by the president will damage the republic. But life is lived regardless of the whims and pettiness of the political class. Some of Trump's policies have hurt me badly, and he plans to keep bringing on the pain. Some are just stupid, corrupt, or morally and/or intellectually bankrupt. But no matter what the President or Congress does, I have the obligation to live my life to the best of my ability. I keep telling my friends that the republic has endured to this point, and will endure longer. People on both the right and the left disagree on policy, or the role of government in people's lives, but talking to both liberals and conservatives I find most value our republic, their state, and their community. They just have different ideas on what to do to make them better. Onyx, I appreciate your opinion, and try to put a good deal of thought and care in my responses. I don't want to really go into policy here--it would bore the PU community to tears and I feel this isn't the right venue. But if you're really interested in policies that help America, be they left, right, center, or totally out of the box, you'd be a worthy debate opponent. Email me off thread if you want to talk policy. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

"Platitudes?" Really? All I said is that it is the duty of all citizens to see to the well-being of the republic. When I was a kid, that was called "patriotism." I don't care what causes a person cares about. That's very personal, and I didn't want to engage in a hyper-partisan BS war about policy. Be the cause left or right or center (or something else entirely) it doesn't matter, it's just important that people petition the government to see that the policies they want are put into place. That's the simple root of democracy. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." Edited on Mar 10, 2018, 03:45am | |

I find that occasionally I too find myself discouraged I can't find that fantastic new site I've never seen. My way of dealing with it is to just take a month or two off from collecting and viewing porn. Then when I come back to it I feel a sort of excitement about looking at sites (even ones I've been to often) and at my collection.

Onyx, everyone has a political opinion about some issue. No one is absolutely ambivalent about how government affects their lives. Just because a person has a political agenda doesn't mean that they aren't qualified to opine about things they are experts about (or even not experts about). I didn't read the journalists in question. I didn't see who wrote the articles. But journalism has a core set of skills, like any occupation. That they let some political bias enter into their work doesn't make their work inherently worthless. Trusting in people with "demonstrable skills and actual accomplishments" is kind of a dodge of my point about anti-intellectualism. The journalists you mention have demonstrable skills--they are nationally published journalists, so have skill in their craft and are accomplished enough to be published. I agree that blind trust in a degree or credential is unwise, but blind trust is unwise in general. Hence the pejorative, "blind." I trust journalists to have a core competence in their field, but that does not translate to a blanket faith in their opinions or naivety about their general veracity or competence. My main point was to point out an anti-intellectual bias, the idea that a "successful" person in one endeavor is more competent in general than a person who has modest success but great knowledge of their field. I was not trying to conflate education with ability, nor associate general competence with expertise. If you don't believe thorough study and expertise in a field gives the expert's opinion about their field of expertise more credence than a non-expert's then that is unfortunate. We likely judge things differently. Viva la difference! Addendum: I highly recommend Richard Hofstadter's "Anti-Intellectualism in American Life." It explores the cause, rise, and effects of anti-intellectualism, which Hofstadter attributes primarily to the democratization of knowledge.

Does this apply to medical advice? I'll take the advice of a "professional" doctor over a guy on the street any day. Similar analogy applies to any endeavor. I trust people who study foreign policy, military readiness, or anything more than people who don't. It's a sign of American anti-intellectualism (which has a long, sordid history in the US) that makes the opinion of an ignorant man equivalent to that of a learned one.

I can't believe anyone really does this. Knowing all media has some bias, it is kind of naive to rely only on one or two sources. I routinely read Politico, the AP, and Reuters, all considered "left wing," but also read Fox News and Red State, considered "right wing." I don't use social media, so don't get any news from Facebook or the like. Maybe I'm just unusual in that I try to understand both sides' points of view, and give a decent amount of skepticism to claims by both sides.

I use VSDC Video Editor-Free Edition. It's a free program from Flash Integro. I've never had any problems with it. I usually use the "highest quality" setting when editing videos.

My video converter uses 1920x1080 at 8000Kbps as a default. A lot of scenes of those dimensions are at a much higher bitrate. It saves me disk space to convert the files, but usually I only worry about it when I'm running out of storage room. I also edit down some files to get only the action I want. That significantly reduces the size of some files. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Quite true, the First Amendment only prevents the government from telling us what we can and can't say. Forums are not protected outlets, but I still think that banning a topic of conversation is an inappropriate way to deal with the issue. I think people have a responsibility to be courteous and decorous with their comments. If a person crosses the line, it's a duty for the forum moderators to intervene.

Banning a type of speech is a poor way to deal with people abusing their freedom of speech. I've always liked the PU community. There's plenty of room for us to disagree on what kinds of porn we each like, and that doesn't make us turn on each other. But mention a political issue and it's like everyone grows fangs and claws and is looking for a death match with an ideological opponent. I don't really understand why it's so hard to try and see the other person's POV, and if you can't, why you can't just accept that their beliefs are different and respect that. Maybe I'm an idealist, but I don't like the idea that we have to censor speech because people can't be respectful.

I respectfully disagree. Part of the problem with polarization in that people of differing political ideologies don't mix in an open-minded and respectful forum. There is nothing that precludes liberals, moderates,and conservatives (and others) from being respectful and thoughtful with each other. That said, if PU finds political discussions off limits because they get heated, a few suspensions of forum privileges or a policy of "no politics in the forums" can rectify the situation.

I don't follow the news like I used to. Part of the problem with politics in America right now is the people actually pay too much attention to whether their party is "winning" or "losing" in every political tussle. This makes it almost impossible for compromise. I think most people head to Washington DC with the sincere intention to do good by their country, state, and constituents. When they arrive, they find out that half or more of their time is given over to raising money for reelection, and that they have to be party stalwarts or face the prospect of their party backing some other candidate in the next primary. Politics has always been a dirty job. Alexander Hamilton was called the "son of a Caribbean whore" and Gerrymandering (representatives picking their voters, rather than the other way around) came about with Elbridge Gerry. It's just that we obsess about it more with 24/7 news coverage. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I think people of all stripes take politics too seriously. I'm no fan of Trump, but I also disliked Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama. Every presidential election seems to be a race to the bottom for the worst two possible people to potentially run the country. Politics was a relatively niche interest when I was a kid, and only since the Republican takeover in Congress in the 90's did politics seem to be on everyone's radar. It would likely be better for the country if fewer people payed attention. Then maybe Congress could do less playing to their base and more compromising to fix the serious issues that plague our nation.

I feel the anti-Trump hysteria from the left is as bad or worse than the anti-Obama hysteria. Presidents cannot do too much without Congress, and Congress has been inept the last few sessions. There's a reason why Trump polls at about 40%, and Congress at less than 10%. I don't like Trump, and would have preferred he not have run, but I don't see it as the end of the world. Not watching TV or following social media really helps keep me more optimistic about our country. @Onyx, I'm glad you find reason to be optimistic. Here in Silicon Valley it's always doom and gloom about politics. It's nice to be reminded that that's not the feeling everywhere.

Trump was totally unqualified to be president. No other American has reached the presidency without either being in elective office or running an army. His policies may have the stock market booming, but the DJIA is not a reflection of the underlying strength of the economy. I had to correct many of my clients about that when I was a financial professional. Many of the policies you mention (repealing the individual mandate, opening up Arctic Wildlife Refuge to drilling, the appointment of Gorsuch, the Keystone Pipeline) are deeply dependent on one's political viewpoint. Every one of those is a negative to almost everyone I know, regardless of party. Furthermore, Trump supports autocrats instead of our allies, praises those who repress a free press, belittles individual citizens, and is undoing the hard work of previous administrations both Democratic and Republican to build a rules-oriented financial and military order in the world. He's deeply polarizing, but so were Carter, Reagan, Bush (sr), Clinton, Bush (jr), and Obama. But at least all of those people were qualified when elected and behaved in a responsible manner both on the campaign trail and in office. The hate is reflective of the venomous bullshit that President Trump tweets out every day. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

The one pro about this movie is that it ends and you can go home to watch literally any other "Star Wars" film and feel better. (In talking with my fellow "Star Wars" geek friends, only one has a positive view of "The Last Jedi." It's the most polarizing film in the "Star Wars" saga. You either liked it or hated it.)

Free trade is the engine that created the post-war prosperity for the entire Western world. It has come under fire for the shortcomings of globalization, though those shortcomings were well known and preventable, but due to a lack of political leadership nothing was done. Domestic steel production is doomed. It's simply too expensive to pay Americans to make steel. Free trade will create winners and losers. It's the fault of past administrations and Congresses that we have very little in place to help the losers. Some things that are known to work: --apprenticeship programs --job retraining programs --investment in infrastructure --investment in education --a strong social safety net America lacks most of these solutions. It's not because no one knows what they are, but that they cost money that Congress isn't willing to spend. The fault lies with both political parties. The politicians won't talk about substantive issues and instead talk about straw men and bogeymen. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Saw "The Last Jedi" today. I went in with an open mind and a lot of hope that "Last Jedi" would deliver. It failed. It was overlong, too funny for a Star Wars film (like a parody of a Star Wars movie, not a film in the franchise), and had too many story lines. It ranks as the only time I've ever seen people check the time during a "Star Wars" film. A lot of people. I narrowly disliked this movie, but others might like it. @luthien "God speed rebels" probably sounded better in the script than "Force speed rebels," which sounds even worse. Han mentions seeing the Rebels in hell when he rides out his tauntaun to find Luke on Hoth in "Empire Strikes Back." That felt weird then, and the "God speeed rebels" sounded weird now.

I'm nervous about seeing "The Last Jedi." I hated "The Force Awakens" and fear that "The Last Jedi" will be more of the same. For the record, I am a huge "Star Wars" fan. I remember standing in long lines to see the original trilogy, and the anticipation (and disappointment) I felt about the prequels. Still I think the prequels were all less a disappointment than "The Force Awakens." "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I wrote my last post when I was really tired. I really shouldn't do that anymore. @lk2fireone and @onyx, you've basically answered what I wanted to know when I started this thread. Thanks. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I totally agree the FCC is the wrong place to make internet policy. It should be legislation passed by Congress. Good luck in *that* happening. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

You don't want to call them to cancel--they're an India-based company. Int'l long distance to cancel a porn subscription is just a deal breaker. Truepay is a fintech company that's about two years old. Here's an article about them: http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/fintech-startup-truepay-to-reorient-focus-on-merchants/article9512841.ece "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

Many FCC decisions were 3-2 votes. It's not inherently good or bad, and the FCC is a political agency, so at least they have a vote on issues. It's better than putting the power in either the hands of an individual or up to popular opinion. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

True, on a level playing field, this is ideal. But the internet won't be a level playing field without net neutrality. I'm not worried about content getting to the consumer. I'm more worried about some businesses being extorted to be put in the fast lane by ISPs. Small new companies will find it hard to pay to compete with the internet giants. This stifles competition.

I usually buy one site a month, and try to keep it in between $20 and $30 if I can. I will however splurge to get a good deal for yearly access. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I guess it all comes down to whether or not you believe your ISP has the right to pick and choose winners in the economy. "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |
