How to increase your intelligence:

Intelligence is the habit of questioning everything, but .specially questioning ourselves and the tribes we have joined. liberals and conservatives say they agree that we should all be responsible for ourselves and both groups cling so tightly to the views and talking points that our tribes demand us to cling to. Have you ever seen a self labeled conservative point out anything Obama has done that is good for our country? Have you ever seen a self labeled liberal point out a single thing on which they agree with Trump? Black/white, all or nothing "thinking" makes us stupid and keeps us that way. I will be interested in your agreements or disagreements with this comment.

Sounds like plain common sense to me. But some will disagree. ;-)

I have always (enjoyed a GOOD argument) with someone it allows you express your understanding or opinion and being able to hear some one elses point of veiw.you just have to make sure the arguee's are in agreement that it's not a war of side's but two people expressing veiws and a willingness to step back and really listen to the other side. You can really learn a great deal this way and it's good way to understand where some one else is coming from with a different veiw of the same subject

Glaucon

How many who post on OPP do you think agree with this and practice it?

Glaucon

I agree and hope all others on OPP are open to considering your comments.

Intelligence is not questioning everything, that is simply obstructionism. "Veritas Quaere", stay curious, seek the t***h is intelligent. Obama did two things well --- he left town after Trump's inauguration and he went to Tahiti and hasn't come back.

Glaucoin, I'm a liberal and I think Trump was correct in taking out Assad's air base from which he used poison gas on his own people. If he ever does anything that makes sense, I'll let you know!

Actually, pafret, "Barry," {or wh**ever...} did three "things well." You forgot about Hillary's campaign. It couldn't have been any better!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH; GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CONSERVATIVE SHERIFFS DAVID CLARKE AND JOE ARPAIO; GOOOOOOOOOO REP. TREY GOWDY (R); and, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRESIDENT "45" DONALD J. TRUMP (R); JUST LIKE THE WEATHER!!! "(D)RAIN THAT {RADICAL SECULAR LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE "LEFTY"} SWAMP!!!"

You seem to be able to make vinegar out of lemonade. I said some things to which normal people would respond positively and you were able to toss in a turd or two. Obama being born in Kenya was once a t***h as was the weapons of mass destruction Saddam had. Al t***h is tentative.

Glaucon

Still desperately seeking conflict and sides where your side is good and the others are bad ? Childish and very dangerous "thinking."

Humans are now in the rare situation in the history of humanity that we have the means of wiping out all life on earth

Good news : We could strive and learn to reason together and save the world for our future generation but we will certainly have to grow the fuk up if we are to accomplish that..

Speaking of making vinegar, I said nothing about Obama's birth. But, if you must bring it up, it is of no consequence where he was born. It requires two citizen parents, to be a natural born citizen and Obama had only one, hence was ineligible to be president. Just as your concept of intelligence missed the mark, your assertion that the t***h is tentative is completely off the wall. Only a dyed-in-the-wool liberal would think t***h is wh**ever the flavor du jour happens to be.

You can accept that because I say it is so, and to you, the veracity is wh**ever someone says at any moment.

Glaucon

You said nothing about Obama's birth. It was I who said something about Obama's birth. I was pointing out that you folks thought Obama was born in Kenya and that he didn't have a birth certificate to prove he was born inb America. When it was proven beyond any possible doubt that he was not born in Kenya and an official copy of his birth certificate was posted on the internet you folks were still not able to accept the obvious and the proven. You were wrong about both of those issues and you were not strong and honest enough to admit you were putting forth bogus information. Honest people would have had enough integrity to admit their attempt to deceive. Now you are still claiming Obama is not a natural born citizen and I don't know if this time you are misinformed or dishonest or both again. You know a lot for sure that is entirely bogus and you might want to admit your misinformation or admit attempt to get away with a bald faced lie . I can't see that it could have been any other reason..


Ypu might want to back off the tough, know it all posture as it causes you to look foolish AND dishonest.

If yiou don't get this time, let me know and I will splain it again.

Glaucon

You only refer to our immediate past president as " Barry" if You are a h**eful, ignorant putz and the remainder of your comment provides additional evidence that the putz label is right on.
