Polls: Society & Politics

I'm asking as for the first time in poll, majority of Americans are willing to defend Taiwan now.

Would you support it? and also possibly expand the war into Xinjiang and Tibet to free the millons of muslims and tibetans held in concentration/holocaust camps?

Take our gas prices. He stopped domestic oil production and shut pipelines down. Then he goes to opec and Russia and asks THEM to increase their production so we can have more. They both gave us the finger (contrary to him being this great healer, unifier and diplomat) so now he’s dipping into our strategic reserve to release 50 billion barrels which will only supply about 3 days. I know he wants to totally rid the oil industry and force everyone electric. However not everyone can afford an electric car. It takes oil to produce green energy. Some power plants are coal. Some are natural gas. Biden and all his cronies are still driving around in huge gas guzzling vehicles

And how strongly do you feel insults? Discussions on perspectives and opinions quickly turn to insults. Some people... most people... don't want to change their view, they would rather "win" and defend their view. Change is painful in the sub conscious mind, because one feels like they are losing. Insults quickly flair as an attack on another's views or defense... like saying... they are an idiot.

There are several things in play I noticed in my own response. I often let something offensive slide and will continue trying to get my points across in this or subsequent posts. My underlying thought is to help the other person, or understand them. That in a way, is a submittal response, not a strong one. The insults fly over my head unless it's blatant. Sometimes that may be useful... I'm good at finding others views. Sometimes it's not good, dishonoring myself, while not pushing back... the other isn't going to change.
I know I take insults because as a kid, I took lots of insults and felt no means to fight back, so I just accept them. Conditioning.

I'm not saying there is a right or wrong response, just an observation of you... and are you ok with you?

I think... it's right to call people out on their insulting... tell them when they are out of line.

or is this just more bullshit NBC and ABC and not true like they lied about Trump, Rittenhouse. and everything else. How many times can you take the boy crying wolf and keep believing him?

The human spine is not a straight line. The education system from elementary to high school has caused untold suffering and ptsd and back problems for billions of people with their torture devices they called chairs and forced the children to sit in them.
Should we sue the schools and governments that allowed and encouraged this to happen?

Can you be proud of being the male gender?

When you see them on the sidewalks and such what are you thinking?
