Question...
Other than a freak show, What is the purpose of the Burning Man festival?
-
Party? Drinking, drugs, hooking up?
-
There's gonna be one soon for liberal's only.....it will be called "Flaming Pussy".
-
The whole Burning man thing looks like a lame attempt to recreate the pagan rituals that preceded human sacrifice.
I can't understand why democrats would be so enamored of that since they use the abortion industry to satisfy their fascination with murdering the innocent and helpless.

What’s to understand? It’s a music festival and party, a recurring Woodstock, but commercialized to repeat every year. Anthony has it pretty well nailed.

Herpes, hepatitis, heroin?

We have a upper middle class, fifty-five and over, mass housing project in Florida called The Villages.
I discovered, quite by accident, that it is the VD capital of America. They apparently have multiple wife swapping clubs and advertise their particular club by the color of the little flag they hang on their golf cart.
I guess venereal disease is cool these days.
My father was right. If you sleep only with your wife and she sleeps only with you, nobody goes home with VD.

It is pretty funny listening to a bunch of old men who think they're experts on an event that none of them have ever attended.

Not as funny as reading posts from a parasitic academic whose students advise others to “Run, don’t walk, away from this loser of a professor.”

He's called Number 7 because that's the number of teeth he has. A real pity they're there, too. They're the only things keeping his mouth from being a perfect asshole.

What Burning Man is has changed over the years. It started out being about music and self expression, for people outside of polite society. Then it became cool and hip and the celebrities starts showing up, jetting in for the weekend. Now, like most thing on the left, it's being politicized and taking an ugly turn where intolerance is the rule. I would say that someone who wore a MAGA hat there would find themselves very lonely and potentially physically assaulted. That would have been unthinkable even 5 years ago.
I've been on the verge of going for a long time. I know people who have gone and what they talk about. I probably should have gone 20 years ago, but I wasn't smart enough to know it then. It's gone from "do what you want, where you want, with who you want as long as it's consensual" to "do what others permit you to do". I wouldn't enjoy it now.

Cute in a pathetic kind of way.
Too bad you can't refute the truth that comes from your students.
I know... truth is so racist to progressive parasites like you.

Did anyone self-identify here as an expert? Two opinions were qualified with the question mark. Is your offering any clearer? Whom made you an expert to offer an opinion on others expression?
I can see why you are not well liked, and not respected here. Which is kind of a shame, because if you could control your vituperation might offer insights into the liberal mantra that could be almost useful. You've made such an easy target I'm beginning to think that's by design.

I don't dislike Steingar because he's a liberal. I figure it's tough not to be when you're steeped in a university environment. And he might be too old to change unfortunately. And if you live in the urban city culture these days you're by default steered into progressivism. For example, it's assumed man is bad for the planet, it is a fact like the sky is blue, it's not even questioned. Everywhere you look you see recycling, "green" admonishments, cruelty free food and cosmetics, and so on. The subtle messages and signaling is everywhere in urban and university environments. It's got to be a rare independently thinking individual to fight their way out of all that. Probably comparable to waking up from being brainwashed by Warren Jeffs. So I cut Steingar some slack, at least he sticks around and reads all this what to him must be outrageous propaganda, although I don't hold out much hope he will ever #walkaway. You never know though.
What I think is a shame is when everyone on all sides resorts to grade school insults although I confess I chuckle at the good ones. And also I'm not going to say don't stoop to personal insults because that's the whole point of an unmoderated forum - so much better than the milque toast AOPA and POA. But I'd rather intelligent debating with only the occasional personal insult.
But first of all, conservatives predominate on this board so the one or two liberals tend to get piled on, and second, with all due respect to the liberals, they usually don't have facts and logic on their side. However I need to qualify that by pointing out that if we source our news from only one side, we might not be getting the same facts.
Never mind news let me go back to cruelty free cosmetics. A thing accepted no question by liberals and maybe a lot of animal loving conservatives too. But a thinking person (me) asks how companies can assure their products are safe for humans without testing on animals. The answer is: companies either use only ingredients previously tested on animals by other companies or that are tested on human volunteers.
To my mind a company that sells "cruelty free" cosmetics is therefore profiting from the cruel testing done by other companies in the past but distancing themselves from culpability, and/or allowing human volunteers to take health risks for the sake of profit. That company portrays itself as virtuous while still benefiting from cruelty to animals and/or doing to humans what it proclaims it won't do to animals. To me that company is worse than one who says "sure we test on animals and if your vanity is more important to you than lab animals we'll take your money." At least that's honest.
And that is why I don't blindly accept liberal religion.
