That's just an empirical question. It can be investigated by careful observation. It's often enough the case that many examples are used. Lucretius us...

A counter point might be that if you take any popular unsolved mystery, there will be endless argumentation spanning many different theories. Take Fer...

I don't know, but everyone outside where I live has pretty much stopped practicing it. Inside to some extent as well. We'll see what happens. The spre...

Sleepy Joe isn't a progressive anyway.

I don't understand how Wittgenstein's method makes these problems go away. In our language game we say we have could have done otherwise. Thus, we're ...

True, but what is this reality? Is it the stuff of everyday experience which populates ordinary language? The skeptic finds various problems with this...

This seems confused. The idealist doesn't doubt the existence of hands. They would agree that Moore can show that he has hands. What they doubt is the...

Biden can just run on, "You ain't black if you vote for Trump", and, "I promise you, the president has a big stick. I promise you." I'm looking forwar...

That was an amazing and sympathetic post!

Here's a little more progress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCi1N0txA3k That would have a big impact very quickly. But why would Trump ever do that...

Not all countries. Brazil is #1 followed by Venezuela. In terms of rate per 10 million, there are 32 countries higher than the US. https://i.postimg.c...

Facts also don't care about your extremist, all or nothing way of thinking.

That's a ridiculous statement.

That is true. They do sometimes have to deal with dangerous situations. Some of them, not all.

That's good news. Needs to be an independent investigation into what happened. And yeah, I noticed it was a black business owner.

Biden is hardly ideal. He's just not the inflammatory, race-baiting fool that the alt-right loves. Another really dumb thing Trump is doing is making ...

The previous president would have. So would Hillary. Unfortunately, we don't have either. There's some mayors talking about reform.

Good list of demands. Imagine if Trump had started this out leading with this as an offer and expressing solidarity. Of course he can't do that sort o...

Trump praising Tiananmen Square is the worst possible thing to say. How can he be so monumentally bad at leading? No way he survives to another term.

A little bit of hyperbole. And probably it would mean a few broken windows and a dumpster fire here or there, and the occasional scuffle with police. ...

They have to follow orders from higher up, but yeah it seems they weren't doing much to stop the actual looters and fire starters. Just standing aroun...

We'll see how that goes down. One lat video form a black man disgusted at looters in long beach who he says had nothing to do with the protest at 0:49...

Also good to see there's a list of demands for police reform protestors are coming up with. Some good ideas.

But to the main issue, maybe some of the people who shouldn't be police are getting exposed right now. There's been a few firings so far. Needs to be ...

Why should we care about anyone? I don't agree with this collective notion of guilt that demands violence. Also, it's not just privileged neighborhood...

Nice to know you don't care. Some of the places are also immigrant or minority owned.

It's possible to be both for reform and against violence.

Anyone who lives there.

Also, I did make several posts offering ideas for police reforms, along with linking to some ideas.

It's a problem, as if only one problem can be real at a tiime.

Try reading the context of replying to someone else's post about the looting.

Right and the real problem is the systematic looters and burners going building to building causing all kinds of damage. I don't think they have much ...

Fair enough.

Indeed, so don't argue for it on their behalf.

Better than just posting some socialist/anarchist justification. You'e not even American.

Sure, nobody does. Question is do a majority of black people protesting, or black leadership involved in protests want a peaceful approach?

I've only posted like 10 different black people asking for peaceful protests.

Dennis Rodman wants the destruction to stop in favor of peaceful protest. But by all means, ignore what black people want. https://www.nydailynews.com...

Supposedly they were shot at. But who knows. And yeah, Trump is very bad for this situation. Good things he's incompetent.

Shit, National Guard shot someone in Louisville. That's not good.
