Flat Earth Investigations / Incorrect idiom

« Last post by infinity on July 13, 2025, 12:11:46 AM »

I discovered that term "sphere of influence" originated between British and Germans.
Is it possible this very incorrect idiom started this whole mythical ball world?

Sadaam, you clearly stated Clinton was a centrist.

Yes.

Laws governing sexual conduct in the workplace are set by PLOTICIANS (spelling error purposeful).

Yes.

Therefore, the behavior has everything to do with political ideology.

No, that doesn't follow at all. You might as well say that laws governing taxes are set by politicians, and therefore filing my tax return indicates my political ideology. Or that laws governing traffic and the rules of the road are set by politicians, and therefore driving my car indicates my political ideology. Or any other number of absurd conclusions, really.

It was the act of a domineering totalitarian, certainly not a centrist.

I'm all for judging politicians based on their character and the lives they've lived, but you can't just take it for granted that their ethical flaws and misdeeds directly translate into their political ideology. Someone who constantly speeds can't therefore be assumed to be opposed to speed limits on an ideological level. Someone who cheats on their taxes can't therefore be assumed to be opposed to taxation on an ideological level. And someone who pursues an inappropriate relationship with an intern half their age who can't reasonably say no to them can't therefore be assumed to domineering or totalitarian on an ideological level. It's just not how these things work, and there are plenty of examples from history bearing this out. George W. Bush by all accounts is a loving husband and father, but his decision to launch a destructive war under false pretenses that cost countless lives so that he could advance his own political agenda and enrich his cronies in the private sector reeks of a deeply callous cruelty. Lyndon B. Johnson was an outspoken racist as a younger man, but he devoted his presidency to passing critical legislation protecting civil rights that probably wouldn't be able to be passed today. These things don't perfectly correlate into political ideology like that.

LD, we've pretty much exhausted the Stormy Daniels story. She is a lying cunt.

Sexual harassment.
Not actual sex between two conscenting adults who both want it.

Unless you wish to show me the law prohibing sex in the workplace.

Plenty of steps taken that were certainly not centrist.

Well, maybe. So give examples of those then.
Banging an intern isn’t one of them.

BANGING INTERNS IS CENTRIST

im going to allow this because it is simply funny to me but can we please at least to pretend to uphold the rules of the forum with a modicum of decorum

BANGING INTERNS IS CENTRIST

Nobody said that it was centrist, just that it wasn't left-wing. Clinton's affair with an intern had nothing to do with his political ideology. It wasn't left-wing, it wasn't right-wing, and it wasn't centrist. This really isn't a hard concept to grasp.
