Is there any room for unintended harm? Ignoring it after it's been disclosed?
January 13, 2020 at 02:11
Well done. It begins the important nuance that is - and has been - in dire need of understanding.
January 12, 2020 at 21:02
What? :brow: Facts are events, happenings, states of affairs. Truth is correspondence to/with facts. Judging the quality of an historical account - de...

Yep.

Wouldn't it be cool if Trump also stood and knelt with American protesters? Bullshit. Political posturing. Shows more solidarity with foreign citizens...

That gets at the heart of the equivocation of the term "nothing".

Do you care to answer these direct charges? Do you understand them? Have I written the word "higher" when talking about things with far less complexit...

Looks inconclusive to me. All the hype needs to shut up until the cause is known.
January 10, 2020 at 16:56
I've seen that video.

Unless you have video footage that is a known missile strike to compare to... it's just an explosion...

Has the actual cause of the downed airliner been confirmed? I've seen differing claims and a video showing an explosion, but cannot confirm it was an ...
January 10, 2020 at 16:47
Yes. You've summed it up in a nutshell. The world economy makes average Americans less of a consideration to those who have no sense of loyalty to the...
January 10, 2020 at 16:37
May I suggest that you re-read what I've written? Nothing you've said about me and my so called 'embarrassments' make any sense in light of the fact t...

"These people"??? Who? I've no idea what group of people you're claiming are worried about Trump because they have so much to lose over Trump's sugges...

Hopefully different as in better. I'm not so sure that the US political environment is fixed, per se; but I am sure that there are far too many indivi...

It is interesting and very convincing to those with a Judeo-Christian background.
January 09, 2020 at 05:26
Pascal's Wager is convincing for those who already have some hint of belief concerning the God in the Bible. If you believe and it ends up being the c...

Which renders both notions meaningless. In addition, as I've already mentioned, there's an equivocation of both terms "zero" and "nothing" as a result...

Don't be so flippant. Post the work, show the work, make the argument you want to make based upon the work. I've a very strong feeling that there is n...

You're still neglecting the facts here. In order to have all of anything, there must be something to have. Something is not equivalent to nothing. Not...

Is that a gross positive for a very large number of American workers, in addition to all of the indirect beneficiaries of American manufacturing? GDP ...
December 31, 2019 at 04:29
By what measure?
December 31, 2019 at 03:02
I suppose I need to set out all of the reasons that a robust manufacturing sector is imperative to Americans and the American economy... Right off the...

Do you understand how the bi-partisan system works, including how it's funded?

What do you want? Are you wanting me to specify exactly which pieces of legislation throughout the last forty to fifty years led up to and/or paved th...
December 30, 2019 at 15:13
Those are myths alright. Not sure if they're held by American voters or held by you about voters. I'm leaning towards the latter.
December 30, 2019 at 15:10
And... to be perfectly clear... I'm not just advocating for deliberate investment and cultivation of manufacturing jobs. It just so happens that those...
