Just the flesh of your friends in the concentration camp.

Obama was referring to Trump's persistent claim that there is systematic voter fraud. See this article that was written at the time: And this doesn't ...

What's my version of what happened?

And regarding Obama's inaction, he tried to speak out about it but was blocked by McConnell. Although he did expel 35 Russian diplomats and closed two...

"Trump blames Obama for inaction over alleged Russia meddling". The man who refused to accept that Russia meddled, who refused to enact Russia sanctio...

Your example was offering someone a job (e.g. as a model) in exchange for sex, so it's not a case of pressuring someone at work.

What law does it break?

Why do conservatives think meat is happy and oatmeal isn't?

So Hollywood?

That's this test. Being able to pass that just means you don't have Parkinson's or something, not that you're not an idiot and fit to be President. Or...

At work so can't watch. What's it say?

I was addressing the issue of why the right to keep and bear arms was granted. There's an article here about it that references the sources Scalia use...

I was under the impression was that it's purpose was to prevent the federal government from replacing state militias with a standing army.

I'm a 10.

Was my joke too subtle?

That's because they're not real jokes.

We have that. You can propose one here. @"creativesoul" proposed one a month ago, but there weren't any takers.

And who decides which group is capable of determining what's best for themselves (and others)?

You didn't, and I didn't say you did. I'm pointing out how useless it is to claim that they'll "do what's best". What's best for one group isn't what'...

Better for who? If the legislators are all tied to big business then they're going to do what's best for big business and not what's best for the lowe...

I think in the case of a parliament it should be representative of the populace.

Actually, in the first source it was a gay couple.

I didn't say it wasn't discrimination. I said it wasn't a case of discrimination being encouraged. What they were doing was wrong, and they were punis...

That white professors were fired for being white isn't that "discrimination against white heterosexual males" is being encouraged. Your source doesn't...

It didn't say in the article; only reported the results. I'm guessing the experts weren't asked to explain each ranking. I was a bit too young to pay ...

How so?

How Does Trump Stack Up Against the Best — and Worst — Presidents? Spoiler: He's the worst. Of the 170 experts who voted, Democrats placed him last, I...

I think there's something like that in Germany. Between a certain age range, it's only a crime if the younger party files a complaint.

I don't think it right to think of noumena as the "thing in itself" because I don't think it right to reduce the ordinary objects of perception to the...

As if you couldn't before. (Not directed at you but those who say such things for real).

He was saying that we're talking about protecting children from themselves, rather than protecting children from adults. His point is that we're makin...

This I find interesting. Here's a graph comparing the United States to other countries with a high gun-related homicide rate: https://www.gunpolicy.or...

Also known as "ignoring the facts". Sorry, couldn't resist.

This is probably the better survey to use. 81.6% non-skeptical realists and 56.5% physicalists. Ours is a small (and probably unrepresentative) sample...

To add to this: if you're that concerned about the government taking away citizens' rights, then don't vote for people who want to take away your righ...

If group ownership of a nuke is sufficient then why isn't group ownership of guns sufficient? Store the guns in whatever secret place it is you store ...

Maybe have Mueller run as the next Republican President. ;)

I'm sure there are plenty of other Republicans who will do that too. 'Twas a joke, trading on ambiguity. ;)

OK, so then the same can be said about nukes. You're not being very consistent.

Then can we say the same about guns? No private ownership.

Again? Has he already won in 2020? Also, is there any particular reason why you'd want Trump to win as opposed to some other Republican?

Then you just get someone like today's mass shooters who decides to detonate a nuke for whatever awful reasons they have for doing what they do. You'r...

According to this, there were 1,077 since August 1st, 1966 (in the United States). However, it's worth noting that this figure only includes cases whe...

No it doesn't.

I don't really know what the difference is between those who support gun control and those who oppose it. Is it that they disagree over whether or not...

It's not arbitrary. Semi-automatic rifles are different to semi-automatic handguns. I don't see why one can't ban the former but not the latter. Is th...

Nirvana fallacy. That it won't stop all isn't that it won't stop some. And surely doing something is better than doing nothing? I don't really underst...

Trump wasn't running it. Pretty sure it's the campaign manager that runs it. And winning doesn't take intelligence, only popular appeal.
