True, although it may be a survival of the fittest moment. Some american conservatives feel resentful and seem to want to establish their authority by...

Keisha Lance Bottoms for VP

I was hoping for more than "this happened in China, so it could happen everywhere.." Will it really be a depression? Or will the economy lurch toward ...

Bunch of black guys protect a cop at a protest How to be a decent human being

It's nice to talk to people who aren't verbally abusive tho.

Could be. We still do mail-in early voting. Democrats will be out making sure Biden voters know how to mail-in. Trump voters will be what?

Wife cuts husband's arm off and uses the bloody end to vote for Trump.

How did they die? Kawasaki syndrome?

What kind of revolution are we talking about now? The HAVES are of every race. So are the HAVE-NOTS. You focus on strategy: which is the most effectiv...

Ok.

Peaceful protesting is helpful. I don't see how violence helps anything.

Violence breeds violence until the end of time. I know.

His words would discourage his own base from voting. That would be cool.

Yay Twitter!

There are several tests. The one that's been giving the most false negatives is a fast test (20 min). The CDC's test is supposed to be 100% accurate.

That's so fucked up.

MLK Jr pointed to liberal ideals in his I Have a Dream speech. Do you think we could do the same for economic liberalism? I mean, if we agree every pe...

I think legal rights are restrictions on what people can do or what laws can be passed. You give up some of your natural right to liberty through the ...

Holding that a person has a natural right to life, liberty, and property doesn't mean the state can't tax its citizens. We agree to allow the state to...

Would this also work for unconscious beliefs?

I just meant that observing the millions upon millions who died as a direct result of Communism doesn't tell you much about Marxism, much less america...

Right.

What is special about the orientations that qualify as beliefs? What do they have that tree orientation doesn't?

When we say a person has a natural right to something, say liberty, we're making a statement about the nature of the world. It's declaration about nat...

Did I misunderstand you?

Doesn't a tree have an orientation toward its environment? But we wouldn't say a tree believes it should grow toward the sun.

That's what I meant earlier, that marxists reject the world we presently inhabit. They're basically looking for a revolution. Do they believe people a...

19th Century liberalism was reformist, it's just that it took over the world. An american marxist would agree that all people are born equal and free,...

I don't think so.

Isn't it true that marxists start by rejecting the world as it is?

Like their was Jesus and then there are Christians? Is there something philosophical about your fondness for Marxism? Could you explain what it is?

Liberalism's roots are in anti-monarchy and the religious perspective that supported it. Liberalism endorses secularism and so is the ally of atheists...

No. I guess I'm like a scavenger.

I'm not a predator!

So where Trump was antagonistic toward China while simultaneously backing away from any sort of leadership role in the Pacific, I think Biden will try...

The last of the holocaust survivors are going. I know one who's 91. She married an American soldier who was Irish Catholic so she converted. She has a...

Sad. China owns Australia.

You're a rationalist. Kind of rare in this century. :grin:

Or at least we use that to determine who has the burden of proof.

You're missing my point. Reasoning gives you a hypothesis. And maybe you meant that, you just left out "My favorite hypothesis is..."

Proof.

The Summa Theologica has 3020 pages in the hard cover edition.

:cool:

I'm just suspicious about going from a little reasoning to a statement about how the world works. An experiment that shows the truth of what you're sa...

I come here for sanity breaks. I'm not trying accomplish anything big. You?

First it's exciting Trying to do the doff correctly Then it's working in a rain forest of breath and sweat One wreck after another Then we finally sta...

How do you know that?

What a weird thing to assert.

Why do you think that?
