That's no surprise to me. Don't take that the wrong way. It wasn't about you, so much as it was about me. What's muddled or confusing for you?
July 24, 2019 at 01:52
...and you think/believe that I've not?
July 24, 2019 at 01:48
Or one sense that covers/exhausts them all... :wink:

The domestic/foreign trade relation issues apply to more than just the US.
July 23, 2019 at 17:01
An elected official in a republican form of government such as the one that the United States of America has, has the sole primary responsibility of a...
July 23, 2019 at 17:00
I would concur.
July 23, 2019 at 06:23
I like Warren, although I do still seriously question her loyalty to what she espouses, especially given the fact of her having endorsed Hillary Clint...
July 23, 2019 at 04:14
That's what happens when a government takes actions that result in foreign entities having power over their own people. Such power is usurped. It is n...
July 23, 2019 at 04:05
All good stuff to consider. Someone earlier - was it you? - mentioned that for whatever reason the average American credits and/or discredits the curr...

You're not the boss of me.
July 23, 2019 at 02:46
My apologies for the condescension, even though the charge does resemble pots and kettles. Edited to add: I just re-read and realized that you may hav...
July 23, 2019 at 02:39
The term "meaning" is existentially dependent upon speech acts. So is the term "Mt. Everest". Neither of those things(the referents themselves) are al...
July 23, 2019 at 02:10
I've heard/read something along those lines. Indeed. The belief that approach is a position arguing for the idea that all belief content is propositio...
July 23, 2019 at 01:59
Rubbish. Cliche bullshit. One can try and try and try... and fail anyway. That is always the case if the goal is unattainable to begin with. Not sayin...
July 22, 2019 at 02:02
I do not. The feeling of powerlessness is not a problem. It's a symptom. A result. Care to actually address the response about theft that I gave in it...
July 22, 2019 at 01:08
At least I have one fan... :wink: I was posing the debate to those who hold that all belief content is propositional.
July 21, 2019 at 23:42
This again points in the right direction at least... The cost of theft is much higher than the purchase price. The theft of a working representative f...
July 21, 2019 at 23:36
No, it's not. It's equivalent to feeling powerless about the issue. One can feel powerless to change a situation that s/he does not like in the least ...

What do Jeremy Corbyn and Trump have in common in terms of message... campaign promises? Are they both accused of nationalism?
July 21, 2019 at 22:28
Jim Comey suffered from disbelief when his eyes were opened.
July 21, 2019 at 22:12
This is better, in terms of direction... I'm less certain that Americans are ok with monetary corruption in government, and more certain that there is...
July 21, 2019 at 22:10
The debate is about the content thereof. The topic presupposes that belief has content. Both sides must agree there, lest there is nothing to debate.
July 21, 2019 at 21:37
Somewhere, out there, is a playground in need of someone to push the merry go round.
July 21, 2019 at 21:29
At least someone is trying... Blisters are manifestations of the herpes virus. The virus causes blisters. The virus is the problem. The problem can be...
July 21, 2019 at 21:27
The above presupposes new problems. Trump is not the problem. It's also not the just the US that has these problems. There are farce governments calle...
July 21, 2019 at 10:06
Trump is not the problem.
July 21, 2019 at 10:02
I think Mandela and I would get along just fine. I didn't invoke 'his example'(whatever that is supposed to mean).
July 21, 2019 at 09:55
Emoluments being ignored. Corporate entities writing laws which place corporate interest above the American public's while simultaneously creating the...
July 21, 2019 at 08:42
I do not disagree. That's unacceptable for Trump to have made promises and not kept them. However... It quite simply does not follow from that that gl...
July 21, 2019 at 07:23
Did I? Show me where, and when I made such a comparison. One can be doing many things when mentioning one's attitude towards what counts as justified ...
July 21, 2019 at 06:03
That's way too broad a brush stroke. I'm not much of a fan of a bi-partisan political system such as the one currently taking place in the US. The int...
July 21, 2019 at 06:02
There is such a thing. When given no choice but for one to have to fight for their right to self direction, when during a heated confrontation, one is...
July 21, 2019 at 05:51
With you? None, that I'm aware. Here, in this thread? Trump is not the problem. He is a symtom. A consequence. A result.
July 21, 2019 at 05:46
My attitude towards justified aggression is similar to Mandela.
July 21, 2019 at 05:42
I've lived and thrived in a multitude of different places, people's, and cultures. I've made lots of friends.
July 21, 2019 at 05:41
All that based upon... what, exactly?
July 21, 2019 at 05:39
That's false.
July 21, 2019 at 05:35
As long as I can argue in the affirmative.
July 21, 2019 at 05:32
I've nothing further until someone has an original opinion is some small kine way.
July 21, 2019 at 05:09
Name calling and personal insults. Brilliant.
July 21, 2019 at 05:07
Fucking media puppets...
July 21, 2019 at 03:54
Believe what you like.
July 21, 2019 at 03:54
Polls can be designed for results, and are.
July 21, 2019 at 03:53
You wouldn't be the first.
July 21, 2019 at 03:52
Well Maw. The bit about legal immigrants having issues with those who enter illegally is real. Neither your opinion nor the polls matter. You should t...
July 21, 2019 at 03:41
The one who will beat Trump will have to call out - and prove - the fact that both parties have turned their backs on regular American workers.
July 21, 2019 at 03:37
The border situation came about long before Trump.
July 21, 2019 at 03:35
Let's see... Actual minorities speaking in favor of Trump vs. surveys and polls saying otherwise. Pardon me for not exactly having much confidence in ...
July 21, 2019 at 03:33
Advice I should take more often... :wink:
July 19, 2019 at 16:47
More rhetoric... Meh.
