It’s more so the adoption of a religious-invented slur that irks me. They now view themselves as the religious have always viewed them, as atheists.

I quite enjoy the polemical approach to philosophy. Though we should strive to be cordial, the sparks from such battles often reveal more than calm re...

We’re still in an ice age that has lasted millions of years. But as of now we exist in a brief warm period known as the Holocene Age during which huma...

Very fair. We know that she signed the letter of consent. We know that she since changed her mind, though she may have been completely delirious when ...
September 16, 2019 at 18:35
Very good points. People, including myself, would rather be euthanized than exist as a vegetable. In this case, even though she was without a sound mi...
September 16, 2019 at 18:03
Ooh, birtherism. Isn’t that ironic.
September 16, 2019 at 17:57
I am having fun. I love talking about this stuff. I’ve seen Aussies and Brits giving their two cents. Do you disregard their arguments on the same bas...
September 16, 2019 at 17:48
I guess the question is: should we euthanize someone even if they are not of sound mind to consent to it?
September 16, 2019 at 17:39
I’m surprised you didn’t quote some article to pad your lack of original thought.
September 16, 2019 at 17:37
And?
September 16, 2019 at 17:36
But not the FBI.
September 16, 2019 at 17:34
The timing indicates that it is a smear.
September 16, 2019 at 17:31
Is that the job of the FBI?
September 16, 2019 at 17:29
I think she even signed a letter that, yes, she wanted to be euthanized. But in the end, her protests and unwillingness to give consent proved differe...
September 16, 2019 at 17:17
I’m not a conservative. There are reasons why we have statutes of limitations. The probe and the smearing were unjust enough.
September 16, 2019 at 17:09
Right, the domestic security and intelligence agency of the US should investigate allegations of sexual assaults between teenagers over 30 years ago. ...
September 16, 2019 at 16:47
All for the alleged crime of pulling one’s dick out at a frat party 30 years ago. Sorry, it doesn’t warrant FBI investigation, let alone a second one.
September 16, 2019 at 16:36
It makes sense that she wanted to smear Justice Kavanaugh because she disagreed with his politics. The investigation into Ramirez already occurred. It...
September 16, 2019 at 16:22
Yes. As I recall, Ramirez admitted that she doesn't remember the details from the night in question and can't be sure it was Kavanaugh who exposed him...
September 16, 2019 at 15:38
Looks like they left out a massive detail. Better late than never, I suppose. The article was adapted from a book quoting a Clinton lawyer. Of course ...
September 16, 2019 at 07:02
That’s right, no crimes. Your silly lies are born of propaganda and group think. Back to the cliff, lemming.
September 15, 2019 at 17:14
What law would that be?
September 15, 2019 at 17:04
Trump started the zero-tolerance policy. That means adults go to jail for breaking the laws of the country. The children were cared for by U.S. Custom...
September 15, 2019 at 16:13
Violent autocrats, warlords and dictators don’t fear the moral force of pacifism. They fear the physical force of violence. The people who march in th...

I wonder if you loved that he ended that loophole by executive order. Your hero indeed.
September 13, 2019 at 17:47
I remember Christopher Hitchens always railing on identity politics. I had to include this biting quote of his from Letters to a Young Contrarian.
September 13, 2019 at 16:15
There is a difference between voting for a politician because we share an “image of the future” and voting for a politician because she is a woman. Th...
September 13, 2019 at 16:03
Yeah that’s quite the change, a welcome one in my opinion. The president has rarely been so accessible.
September 13, 2019 at 15:09
If we were to compare Trump to any of the myriad people who spend their conscious hours opposing him, nine times out of ten you’d be comparing the exc...
September 13, 2019 at 14:43
Oh dear. It looks like the disgraced Andrew McCabe is facing prosecution. This is one of the people anti-trump conspiracy theorists had unmitigated fa...
September 12, 2019 at 20:29
You believe the president of the US is like a manager, and the whitehouse like a restaurant? Let’s see what Democrats are saying about this. Boy, that...
September 12, 2019 at 20:21
There is nothing incompetent about firing employees, especially when they’re failing their duties. What a strange non sequitur.
September 12, 2019 at 17:11
Actions and behavior.
September 12, 2019 at 16:19
People have been trying to impeach Trump since before he was even in office. But maybe this time, right?
September 12, 2019 at 16:01
That’s right. You couldn’t do it. We could put 10 of you guys up there and you’d melt trying to do Trumps job. All you guys can do is pretend you’re m...
September 12, 2019 at 15:58
I’m just expressing doubt of Cohen’s claims. Again, here you are spreading unverified, unproven accusations, just because they’re against the presiden...
September 12, 2019 at 15:55
The aberration known as Trump is far better than any of his self-anointed moral superiors, who can do little better than preen themselves on social me...
September 12, 2019 at 02:04
Michael Cohen was a lawyer. His duty as a lawyer is to interpret and advise clients as to the law, regulations, legal rights and obligations. You’re a...
September 12, 2019 at 02:00
A proven and convicted liar accuses Trump of conspiring in campaign violations. This is your standard of criminality.
September 11, 2019 at 18:09
Because you and Democrats call him an “unindicted co-conspirator” doesn’t make it so. The campaign finance probe is long over.
September 11, 2019 at 17:56
And?
September 11, 2019 at 17:53
No, he has not been convicted of any crimes. Trump has not even been accused by a grand jury indictment of anything, let alone being a co-conspirator ...
September 11, 2019 at 17:31
What crimes would those be?
September 11, 2019 at 15:02
Well I’m talking about a radical, reactionary group of media-soaked elites and celebrities with their obsequious base crying wolf for the past few yea...
September 11, 2019 at 05:50
Yeah all that stuff about Trump losing the election, nuclear war, economic collapse, the death of NATO, the second-coming of Hitler, Russian collusion...
September 10, 2019 at 23:29
It was a question. Is it true that you have the freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by publi...
September 10, 2019 at 23:18
It seems to me very important. :wink: But I worry one can get lost in it, almost to the point of solipsism. Like the Jourdain’s paradox, it is almost ...
September 10, 2019 at 16:07
That’s the sort of sleaze that got Trump elected in the first place. These are the same guys who thought the economy would crash when he got elected, ...
September 10, 2019 at 15:53
That’s just not the case, but very worrying that people say this. If you believe hate speech has efficacy, what are it’s effects on you? War? Hatred?
September 10, 2019 at 15:45
What am I cherry picking? Repeat it again and you’d be wrong again.
