It has the humor of being true. :D

Even so, it was ahead of its time which is why it has endured so well. Americans want that dream. You're too young, but most of the technology in Star Trek didn't exist at the time of the show: automatic doors, communicators (cellphones), beam weapons, etc.

The last show of the original series aired 3 June 1969. Mankind landed on the Moon a month later on 20 July 1969.

I'm surprised you are against a society where everyone can sit around,smoke pot and play their guitar without worrying about paying the bills or starving.
 
Hello Dutch Uncle,

Agreed. Like with Star Trek and the commercials, I think they reflect changes in society. That the "norm" of the social needle is moving toward not to just more tolerance, but to embraced acceptance.

Robin Williams starred in a 1992 movie titled "Toys". I think it's highly underrated at 5.1 on IMDB and worth more of a 7. Besides the main story, one thing that made the movie remarkable at the time was the casting; Irish-English actor Michael Gambon played the evil General Zevo and LL Cool J played his special ops trained son Patrick. No mention was ever made in the movie about race or how the General had a rapper for a son.

Then there's the South Park episode about their flag: Chief goes Nanners

The main point is that everyone should be treated equally under the law. This should be more emphasized in schools. Making special rules for special people only serves to divide Americans into special and not special.

I agree with everything you said except the part about special rules for special people. Some people do have special needs. It is appropriate to have special rules for special people. We don't tell the handicapped they are being treated equal so they don't need special parking and/or access requirements.

Lots of people have special needs. If somebody had a bad upbringing and they simply lack the ability to function as a productive member of society, I have zero problem with providing for their needs. If a family lacks the ability to function as self-supporting members of society, it is appropriate to try to intervene and find a way to break the cross-generational poverty cycle. That would be an example of society doing itself a favor. If that is not done then it is like asking for the problem to be perpetuated and expanded. We should try to reduce poverty and seek the goal of eliminating it. If we try a policy that doesn't work, then we simply need to try something else until we find a method that does work.

Special needs are one thing. Do you think every person's "special needs" should be determined by a color strip? I don't.

Hello Dutch Uncle,

I'm not catching what you're referring to. Please elaborate?

I'm disagreeing with the Democratic Party's ideology for solving racial problems in the United States.

People need to have a sense of value. If they don't have that they will be very, very unhappy. Lots of other things make them unhappy too like being shot, shot at, starving,seeing no future for their kids and other negative outcomes to their family's future.

It's one thing to help a person who has stumbled or to teach a child the skills they'll need to become a healthy, happy and fully actualized human being. It's another thing to only toss them handouts and keep telling them to be patient, help is coming soon.

People need a sense of self-worth and to not just hope, but see the results that the lives of their children will be better. If they don't get it, they will become very unhappy. Unhappy is bad for business.

Anyone who can tap into a resource and simultaneously give happiness will become fucking rich. It's just a matter of vision, tech and will-to-do.

There are some ignorant people who don’t realize the Lincoln Project are Republicans or former Republicans who are trying to take the trash out of their own party. They are hardly Biden’s people. They will challenge Biden if they feel he deserves it.

This sounds exactly like the usurper's people, imbecile:

Co-founder of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project acknowledges sending 'inappropriate' messages to several men

Several men accused Weaver of sending them unsolicited and sexually-suggestive messages, some of which also made offers of employment or political advancement.

Weaver, a former advisor to the late Sen. John McCain, said he would not be returning to the group.

A recent report by investigative news website Forensic News claimed that at least 30 young men had come forward, accusing Weaver of sending them unsolicited pictures, flying "politically-ambitious men to his location for massages," and offering jobs in exchange for sexual relations.

Except that those that made that piece are from the right, oppps. There is no war against whites, but the majority of Americans oppose white racists.

The only war is leftists against Americans/The Western World as it is known. The AP media would have Goebbels admiring and taking lessons from them.
