These questions fuck with my mind too much. How do I know you didn't just push the button and leave me thinking I'm pushing the button now that I'm ju...

Easy come easy go.

400 marijuana charges would not implicate the 3 strikes rule. Read the law or you could just keep on spouting nonsense, which seems to be your preferr...
November 24, 2016 at 20:17
Again, the data you provide is false, wrong, and nonsense. Show me 1 actual inmate who was sentenced to 7 years in prison for simple pot possession. W...
November 24, 2016 at 15:23
There are absolutely no statistics you've cited supportive of your position that a sizable number of state or federal inmates are incarcerated for sim...
November 24, 2016 at 04:57
Still off point. You referenced stats that were outrageously false. Do you now concede you just made them up and wish to talk about something else?
November 24, 2016 at 01:28
If, as you say, the general public is intellectually incapable of properly setting its own course, why should I trust you (or anyone) to do it for me?...
November 24, 2016 at 01:25
This post is non- responsive to my comments. You made an outlandish claim about marijuana related imprisonment, and now you're quoting stats for just ...

I think you should be able to be treated as a machine, but I am a machine like you, and I have been programmed to not treat you like a machine. Sorry.

Where do you live, at the Samsung Galaxy S7 store?
November 22, 2016 at 21:13
What a long winded post trying to rationalize why you don't drink. Why don't you just own up to the fact that you're a light weight little girl who ca...
November 22, 2016 at 21:10
That certainly paints the picture of some wealthy people, but not all, and I doubt the majority. Your view of the wealthy is that of very old money, o...

His views are not consistent with Catholic doctrine to be sure, but they are consistent with some more liberal Christian views.

Republicans don't hold sustained organized protests. They have to get to work the next morning.
November 21, 2016 at 02:20
I agree there are certain fundamental beliefs (synthetic a priori), but I wasn't so much concerned with those as much as much more complex beliefs, li...
November 20, 2016 at 20:26
The question is whether you trust your instinct or overrule it with reason.
November 20, 2016 at 19:30
Wow! So much nonsense in so little space.
November 20, 2016 at 19:29
So you think Clinton's reference to Trump supporters is that she really just meant some were deplorable, as in maybe 1%, maybe 90%, she just needed to...
November 20, 2016 at 12:42
Clinton's popular vote lead was 1.5m, but note that her California lead was 3m. Remove Ca from the nation, and the election isn't close from any persp...
November 19, 2016 at 16:22
Well, it's not just you moving right. Some sobering facts for Democrats: 67 of 98 state legislative chambers are Republican (most in history), 30 stat...
November 19, 2016 at 13:21
Weird.
November 19, 2016 at 03:22
I'm not sure your thoughts address the question of whether I, as an American Jew, should fear Bannon as an anti-Semite. I don't think I have cause to ...
November 19, 2016 at 01:14
Yes, quite as predicted, the question of "is Bannon an anti-Semite" is being answered by telling me Israel sucks.
November 19, 2016 at 01:08
Has anyone ever seen Banno and Bannon in the same room? Might be the same person. Just saying.
November 18, 2016 at 19:48
An op-ed from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz: http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.753694. It looks like there's little evidence Bannon hates Jews...
November 18, 2016 at 19:46
So, I'll answer the OP, which was directed to me, yet took the expected turn of becoming a debate about whether Israel should exist. The question is w...

The history of British trade you provide is helpful and brief, but I wonder about other issues not discussed. Britain has always had an independent st...

Clinton did not mention the Constitution and did not indicate that constitutional interpretation was the role of Court. Trump did. https://www.washing...
November 13, 2016 at 12:34
I voted for Trump because in the debate when asked what he was looking for in a Supreme Court Justice, he, unlike Clinton, mentioned the word "Constit...

Learned is an interesting middle name. Sort of like naming your kid Smart or Clever.

And for the record, it first appeared in the Shoutbox when I said it.

The wall would be symbolic at best. The way to stop immigration is to fine businesses who use them, but that's not something we've ever wanted to do b...
November 11, 2016 at 14:55
I overlooked the wall provision, but as you note, it was there. As Trump previously explained, every time Mexico refuses to fund the wall, it gets hig...
November 11, 2016 at 02:48
That contract is ambitious to be sure, but it looks good to me for the most part. I note there is no wall in the plan, so apparently that was just tal...

If Trump grants any authority to Bernie Sanders, an open Socialist, Trump would lose any control over the Republican controlled House and Senate. To t...

It seems fairly clear that had the Democrats fielded a more likable candidate who wasn't under criminal investigation and who was vetted through the d...
November 09, 2016 at 19:48
And so your opinion would have been the same had Clinton won, considering the polarization would have been the same and we'd still be on the same 200+...
November 09, 2016 at 12:12
So now the Republicans control both houses, presidency, governerships, State legislatures, and Supreme Court, and the narrative was the party was in s...
November 09, 2016 at 11:36
Oh please, you're not sad that things will be destroyed that people worked hard to achieve. You're sad that achievements you agreed with are being des...
November 09, 2016 at 11:26
^ Despite Republican control of everything, the narrative remains that the Republicans are in shambles. It took a multi billionaire to buck the establ...
November 09, 2016 at 11:21
The House, Senate, and presidency is Republican, which means if it is polarized on some level, it's not for the moment when it comes to our government...
November 09, 2016 at 10:53
Could be a Republican sweep.

Trump's obnoxiousness is child's play compared to Andrew Jackson's: "Observers likened him to a volcano, and only the most intrepid or recklessly curi...

But I think many think Trump is the price worth paying, especially in light of the Supreme Court nominations that might arise over the next four years...

The rationale for voting for Trump is the same as voting for Clinton: they serve as representatives of a general ideology, although each personally ar...
