There was a time when JSP was a beautiful place. It was called the Battle Floor. My God. Having full blown flash backs.



Dude I am a 29 year old white guy in the Middle of Missouri. Republicans are generally racist, yeah. I mean jesus fuck dude I was law enforcement in a majorly Republican state. Dude is going to sit there and act like I couldn't have possibly seen evidence to suggest Republicans are generally racist. 50% of the officers I worked with were prejudice and I can throw 1 rock and hit 10 racists blindfolded.

I know you got a touch of the racism in ya. I've seen it in your posts.


racist or an idiot. likely both but i just think really stupid.

the prime target for repubs

Dude you don't understand. It's so easy to just be racist up in these parts. You're surrounded by it. If you grew up around here you grew up with it. It's a mindset that's not easy to break. Not to defend those officers too hard. I love some of them but even they aren't the brightest. I've never met an intelligent person that honestly holds real prejudice. I don't think intelligence and racism are possible together.

you should expose yourself to more ignorance, its refreshing, self affirming, and gives u a good range of perspective.

i listen to ben shapiro and cnn. acid plus base = neutral.

in any case listen to the most recent facebook/twitter congressional hearings. minor griping from ted cruz, but most of the whining comes from the left who want a large number of people banned so they can create an echo chamber.



I follow a few R's on twitter so I can not look at it when it's too much but yes..
also yes to the echo chamber the hysterical L makes me want to curb stomp blue hairs, especially the ones over 40+
so i'm not so much in an echo but more devoid of much input.. I do enjoy checking on a a few recent shapiro self owns those have been good.
TBH I don't know where he falls on the spectrum, but I lean more of Bill Maher (D) some BS of his that I can't stand either but...

maher is fairly left of center, but as a comedian and host of a show that pits sides against each other he often "hits his own side". usually tho in as safe of a manner as he can. i like bill, but those who think he's a centrist (not saying u) bug me.

shapiro's show is great, his bias is as transparent as it can be he states it outright, and he clearly panders to alt righters along those same lines. BUT hes been calling for actual evidence of fraud that tipped the election for 2 weeks and ripping his own side for letting this tinfoil grow. i mostly watch because it funny, i like his dry sense of rapid fire humor. and i also laugh at his silly biases.

but really tho, u should listen more to the enemy than your own side. bury yourself in them and use your own side only as a sprinkle of spice on top.

I mean I am a little racist. I see that deep seated shit pop up from time to time so I have to be aware. Hard not to be growing up in Missouri and then working as law enforcement with a bunch of people that also grew up in Missouri. I've just never been a good follower dude. If someone tells me to jump off a bridge I'm more likely to throw that fucker off than to follow that order.

So when some dude with a bad face paint job, no charisma, a bunch of adult children with no real work history, comes in and tells me all the problems rest on illegal immigrants and democrats I tend to be a tad bit suspect. Also helps that my grandparents raise me so I have a very real sense of justice. Deep south justice minus the racism. What do I know though. If I'm on here I'm inebriated so I may have a point or I may not

The point of my post is mostly that you should take nothing for granted about the immune system. It is not a given that it ever works the way we are taught it should


We are just starting to scratch the surface on all the issues surrounding plain old inflammation. A lot of literature is coming out, from all kinds of medical disciplines, pointing to inflammation as the culprit of a lot of problems we have.

neither is the GOP, there's like 10% of voters at most who buy any of this shit, 1% at best who buy all of it, and senate/congress has been largely silent.

trump is being abandoned by the GOP, dont u read Don Jr's tweets?


My god that is such a loaded sentence I don't even know where to start unpacking it lol.

It is just so pathological and true.

He is very good at what he does, which is making me hate him, but also winning arguments with rhetoric. One of the reasons I hate him is probably because he is so good at rhetoric...not that I hate it, but he uses it to be King Actually, because he always has something to say, or a word to twist. I'm good at that but he is Mozart. I think I hate him because he is the antagonist in every movie where there is a frat house and there is a person constantly telling on them to the dean...he is that guy, who will hide behind the jock and get off on it when you fail because of him. I bet his wife's pussy is dry, it probably feels like he is stabbing her. He does the same thing that Bill Mahr does, which is punch down instead of up. He won't debate with someone who can defend him or her self, like a Noam Chomsky figure, and debates people he can completely dominate, which isn't classy.

He is good at what he does though for sure.

The immune system is the best and worst thing we have in our bodies.

When you start learning about biology you get this sense that it's designed and is pretty awesome and works like a clock perfectly despite it's complexity.

Then you get into real research and realize your entire body is a patchwork of systems thrown together at the last minute stacked on top of each other and the whole thing could break down at any minute. It goes from "wow this is perfectly designed and fine tuned" to "holy crap my existence is balanced on a razor's edge in the least efficient possible way and only an idiot would design things like this"


Lol yep. One thing gets fucked up and BOOM delirium.
