    good point

    dsayers, you have made claims, but you have not proven anything. I have made the claim that voting does make a difference. I can prove it empirically—look at the last 8 years. Can you think of things that would be different if Obama wasn't in office?

    You have to demonstrate how voting in this elections cycle, or any election cycle, won't make a difference. You have not demonstrated that. There are plenty of examples throughout history that shows that who is elected makes a difference. Whether that difference is good or bad, is another subject all together

    If the act of voting is "amoral", then this whole charade is just a matter of strategy, not principles. So far, my strategy, outlined in "The Anarchist's Guide to Voting" is the best, and probably the only way to get from A to Z.

    Trump: When I get elected, I will re-open Alcatraz prison and put them all in there. Then I will charge a good market price for citizens to come and chat with the celebrity felons behind bars. I will use this money to fund all my needs as president.

    whew! I'll put away my rat poison that I was about to swallow. Thanks for letting me know.

    Option 1: Bend over and take it up the ass for eternity from inferior people until the human population gets consumed in nuclear hell-fire. Option 2:

    In a causal universe, doesn't every action have both negative and positive consequences? Furthermore, what's negative for one person could be positive for another. I'm not trying to annoying, but I thought I would just point that out. Otherwise, yeah, I would say that the principals of not stealing or murdering evolved for the purpose of limiting social problems and enabling the species to flourish.

    On the one hand a politicians actions have unknown consequences. On the other hand voting for a politician, thus enabling him to act, has very real consequences (exploding a grenade in a crown of people). There seems to be a contradiction here. Either the consequences of political action are unknown, or the consequences are bad (exploding grenades). Which one?

    I don't really care much about the IQ argument. I just thought it was interesting how that chic in the video was arguing the guys point for him.

    Check out this video. It think it's pretty entertaining. You always get this idiotic line of reasoning from lefties on this topic. I think I break it down pretty well.

    bias towards what?

    anybody. some crazy dude.

    If someone threatens to put me in jail if I don't pay for their tank which they will use to blow up children, should I just go to prison?

    If Trump gets in, then we will certainly find out the answer to all of your questions. That is why Trump needs to get in. It's information we all need!

    Thanks for reading RoseCodex. Here's a list of some of the trick I use that have served me very well over the years: http://franklinmusicacademy.com/learning-to-play-piano-vs-playing-piano

    What does Trump's debate performance have to do with whether you'll vote for him or not? I mean, how does it change anything fundamentally?
  19. jpahmad
    no sources. Just my empirical observations from teaching privately for 15 years and seeing people develop from age 7-18 ( I have quite a few long-term "cradle to grave" students) I do have sources that I link to in the article concerning self-determination theory though.

    For those of you who don't like the carrot and stick approach to motivation, read my new blog post on the issue: http://franklinmusicacademy.com/intrinsic-motivation-and-its-misappropriation

    Ever wonder why some anarchists are so eager to see a complete meltdown of society as soon as possible?
  22. jpahmad
    You're late to the party. You're talking points are not original and we've been through this on a number of other threads already; It's getting really boring.
  23. jpahmad
    welcome. I love Monterey!

    The consequences of a principled action (self-defense) don't matter. That is the whole point of principles.
  25. jpahmad
    It doesn't matter. I'm not voting for someone who claims they are going to steal from me and steal from others. I don't know what will ultimately happen if Trump becomes president. But, like so many others on this forum, I'm voting to defend my property.
