Couple of more snippets about these wingnuts. "AAPS is generally recognized as politically conservative or ultra-conservative, and its positions are u...
If a group of doctors who think HIV doesn't cause AIDS say we should end the shutdown, I say that's an excellent reason to keep it going. Thanks @"Han...
"To gather signatures for the letter, Gold and Barke partnered with the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), a doctors' group that ...
There's this Zizek joke about a Slovenian farmer who is given two wishes by a magic fairy. He tells the fairy that his first wish is that his neighbou...
You mean in terms of the making the copyright clear? I imagine so. We'll need to look into it as we develop the article section, which has just recent...
Yes, the Dems fucked over the best candidate (for a second time) and nominated the worst. If they were planning to lose the election by alienating as ...
Depends on presence, relative level, and direction of threat. E.g. If I have a gun and the other guy doesn't but is threatening me, I'm in considerabl...
Incidentally, not only did Arbery do absolutely nothing wrong, people were going in and out of the site he supposedly trespassed at regularly, includi...
"Threat, criminal threatening (or threatening behavior) is the crime of intentionally or knowingly putting another person in fear of bodily injury. "T...
Misrepresentation. I clarified that that from the video we can't actually know that he literally "waved a gun in his face'. But it's fairly obvious he...
Again, you must have evidence I don't. Because the video I've seen does not show what you claim it shows (i.e. that they did not threaten him with a g...
Your interpretation of this is that Arbery pursued a guy with a gun in the street and so was legally shot or not? (On the basis of the evidence you've...
You're telling me you know from the video that a gun wasn't waved at him? Please share the link to the video that shows that. I've said in the last co...
Well, according to Hanover, it's apparently fine to threaten people with guns and then blow them away when they try to neutralize the threat. I would ...
You don't? What's your theory then? He felt in no danger but decided to risk death on the off chance he could get to murder these two guys? Anyway, an...
Could an answer to my last question to you bounce out of your mouth, perchance? Why is it illegal for me to defend myself against someone threatening ...
See, here's how it works, when posters ask me questions, I answer them (usually). You can ask me questions too, but you're not required to care about ...
According to the video, it is. They threatened him with a shotgun when he was doing nothing other than jogging through the neighbourhood. So by law yo...
I said "some" for a reason. I'm guessing something like that may have applied in this case. Although there are other less charitable explanations that...
Yes, in the US there's an unusual amount of social stigma attached to not being a "success" (i.e. not being rich) but there's also an unusual amount o...
I think guns act as a substitute for some American's lack of power over their own lives. They're weak, confused, and somebody out there (probably a br...
Do you think you have an absolute right to wave your shotgun in someone's face? It seems to me that wrestling a shotgun from someone who is threatenin...
I was giving a generic example, obviously. You're working hard to be confused here. I questioned the relevance of one comparison in your post and emph...
Unbelievable by the way that you would compare unarmed protesters risking their lives for the cause of racial equality to a bunch of spoilt bitches wi...
I wasn't referring to any specific shooting. Relevance? Quote me where I claimed that. Or even mentioned you. Quote me where I claimed that. This is g...
Yep. Dumb white liberty freaks can literally take over government buildings while armed with assault rifles and the police do nothing. A black guy wit...
:100: Great stuff, I regularly screw up on these and then afterwards realize something is wrong but can't always articulate it. A list like this is go...
Never mind. frank hasn't been following the conversation. To a degree, I agree. If Trump really were about to, let's say, start a nuclear war then the...
:lol: You're not in any way casting a vote for Trump. Yeah, very different thing. The language matters because it's about responsibility. The only peo...
Logic lesson: I have an apple. I've refused to give my apple to Joe or Don. Therefore, I did not give my apple to Joe or Don. The fact that I would ha...
If I really thought Trump's further reign would make a huge difference globally on climate, it might sway me but, having read your last detailed post ...
Even strategically, the long term better strategy is to withdraw support from the Dems, at the very least until they become something like a left wing...
Yes, voting for Biden as the lesser of two evils just kicks the problem into the ever-lengthening grass. @"Xtrix" What you're doing from this point of...
The framework that says everyone has to vote for a Dem or a Republican no matter who they are, or what they've done, or even what policies they have (...
That's another angle on it, yes. Some people actually believe in the principle of voting for those who most represent them, both in terms of policy an...
