Oh, and to clarify: An argument is the presenting of reasons/evidence for a claim or conclusion. Really that simple.
April 10, 2024 at 21:14
Sorry, that’s “not an argument.” :rofl: Too bad for you!
April 10, 2024 at 21:06
So you’re just in imbecile? Got it. My bad for engaging. Have fun with your straw men. Bye.
April 10, 2024 at 20:54
No. My argument (so glad to know I have an argument now) is that given two choices, Biden is clearly better. Climate change is one example, and a good...
April 10, 2024 at 19:37
Strawman. I never did that. I gave ONE example that demonstrates ONE way in which there are significant differences and in which one administration is...

He won Arizona in 2020.

Arizona Reinstates 160-Year-Old Abortion Ban So they just clinched a Biden win in Arizona. Cool. :up:

Climate change is an existential risk. So that example is particularly relevant. But there are multiple others— that was one, yes. I’m not basing my e...
April 08, 2024 at 12:41
No— I used one example to demonstrate both a very big difference and how one administration is clearly better than the other. It happens to be an exce...
April 07, 2024 at 18:32
Then you’re simply not paying attention. Take one example: Biden: “Climate change is a problem we have to address.” Passes biggest climate bill in his...

Watched the Revenant (2015), An Officer and a Gentleman (1983), the Godfather (1972) and Anywhere But Here (1999)— in two days while under the weather...

In terms of independents, I’m not so sure anymore. But the question is will it be enough, given the goofy electoral college? I’m thinking he loses NC ...
April 05, 2024 at 18:09
That wasn’t the question. Also, it’s very easy to condemn. Which I’ve done and any rational adult would do. The difference between you and me is that ...

Riveting.
April 02, 2024 at 02:28
Oh look, a sanctimonious Twitter troll giving advice. Cool! :up:
April 02, 2024 at 02:22
There’s plenty, actually. For those paying attention. But please keep the substantive Tweets coming.
April 02, 2024 at 02:18
Brilliant observation. True, I like to respond to banal, sanctimonious bullshit when I see it— occasionally.
April 02, 2024 at 02:11
Says the bore who goes around commenting on discussions he’s not involved in to demonstrate his self-righteousness as an empathic communicator. That e...
April 02, 2024 at 00:17
And you continue to bore.

It is a proxy war between the US and Russia. Easy to see why.
March 31, 2024 at 03:46
It’s like you’re incapable of posting anything clear. Maybe spend less time playing with links. It’s a proxy war between the US and Russia. Not hard t...

Crawling out of the woodwork to repeat, line for line, the standard excuses for genocide. No wonder the world isn’t buying it.
March 29, 2024 at 11:20
Correct— it’s not surprising that one accepts the flimsy justifications for murdering and maiming children because it comes from one’s team, like you ...

Ukraine should agree to a negotiated settlement before they lose more land. What a shame it didn’t happen years ago. So many lives could have been sav...

Political analysis: When they do it, it’s grotesque terrorism. When we do it, it’s counter-terrorism. Meanwhile, 15,000 dead children and counting. (B...

They are also bad, yeah. But don’t tell me: Israel kills more people, but accidentally or with good intentions. So they get a pass. :yawn:
March 28, 2024 at 21:57
No, it isn’t. Yes, because you’ve proven such a valuable expert on this topic so far.
March 28, 2024 at 19:42
Political analysis: Hamas bad. Saw Indiana Jones, so Nazi bad. Hamas = Nazis. Perfection.
March 28, 2024 at 17:54
Not one original thought in your little head, eh? In this case, that’s exactly what I’m saying — because that’s what’s happened. The more the occupyin...

They’re not being genocided; the Palestinian people are. They certainly do have a choice. Decimating Rafah won’t put out the fire. It’ll only create m...
March 28, 2024 at 12:26
Exactly. But it’s odd that you’re the one asking for such a stupid thing.
March 27, 2024 at 00:09
What a stupid question. Not a history major, I see.
March 26, 2024 at 23:59
It’s a mixed bag with Biden. He’s producing more oil and gas than any president I think, has allowed drilling, approved the Willow Project, etc. Yet t...

Yeah, it’s just a law of nature that one must murder 30,000 innocent people and starve a population, more than half being under 24. But of course this...

I get it. I’m far from a supporter, of course. But I have no faith in the Republican Party, and am beaten down with the facts— which is that his suppo...

Yeah, but come on. It’s over. He’s secured the nomination. The rest is formality. But this wasn’t really meant too seriously. I don’t really care abou...

Alrighty boys…ready to pony up that $10 each to TPF? I’m sad I won that bet. But I’m often right about these things… :razz:
March 23, 2024 at 03:47
Yes— co-ops. There are plenty of examples, even in the US. The workers own and run the enterprise— they act as their own board of directors. This is t...

Okay. In that case I mostly agree in theory— in practice I have to adopt more optimism, otherwise I guarantee it happens. But history seems on your si...
