So the much-vaunted "American dream" is a lie? Nice to see this being made explicit.
Coito ergo sum wrote:and most of the population lives in poverty while the few rich live high on the hog.
So much for trickle down economics.
Coito ergo sum wrote:Arnie, in the 1970s, had no money and would never have viewed the US as a better option than Austria. That much is for sure.
Actually, he himself is on record as having said this:
The Mr. Universe title was my ticket to America – the land of opportunity, where I could become a star and get rich.
Several biographers have commented on his having planned to use bodybuilding and acting, as means to propel him into US society, from an early age.

Research from some years ago demonstrated that political conservatives were more fearful than those who were politically more liberal.
Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.
Details on how to do that can be found here.

Society doesn't need 'real men' outside a warzone and even then intelligence is probably going to be valued more than brawn

It's not about brawn.

But, thanks for confirming the pussification of society is indeed a fact.

Lotta bluster, but they suck on that teat as hard as anybody, they just lie about it afterward.

Based on this forum and ratskep, I'm inclined to believe this study.

Ever since they put the sharp rocks on the end of the sticks, it's been going downhill.

Real men use hand axes!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

For the record, I've found perpetually butthurt twits all across the spectrum, but none annoy me worse than the chickenhawks.
