I agree with your economic outlook but I fail to see how leaving the EU contributed to it or indeed how the Tories will. Tories might be small governm...

the correct reply was: "I'm not your buddy, friend". Know your classics!

I didn't compare Trump to Hitler. I used your reasoning in a more extreme scenario illustrating it results in ridiculous conclusions. It's a form of a...

Not his biggest fan but still a fan? And credit where credit is due, but Hitler was nice to dogs.

I'm missing a time scale for that 6 trillion so it's difficult to understand the perspective.

Since when?
May 02, 2020 at 07:28
On the positive side. The depression in the US might be less severe than in other countries because you'll have herd immunity sooner and can ease lock...

Pfff... As we say: God created the earth but the Dutch created the Netherlands.

And after 2100? What then? The Netherlands is doing a lot better than in the 1950s. What's your point?

You only make unsubstantiated claims about things you apparently think are true. Educate yourself. You can start with this : Factfulness You're wrong ...

I'm fine with something that's never going to happen as is everybody else in the Netherlands,. Just like we don't worry about being attacked by dragon...

What if unicorns existed; would you be ok with them?

LOL. My god, you're really badly informed aren't you. Why don't you first prove that's even remotely likely going to happen.
May 01, 2020 at 08:37
And this despite the so-called democratic deficit in the EU, which at least is now democratic than the UK. But at least those guys are leaving.

Not everybody is happy about paying taxes. Some aren't even happy to be alive. What's your point if not to say that it was a predominant problem? Only...
May 01, 2020 at 08:28
This is why I think you're seriously better off getting Trump for another 4 years than some appeasement from Biden that very likely had the effect of ...

Reminiscing about the latest family reunion eh?

I didn't realise you did so I supposed to just contradict your statement based on the same effort you put into it!

No, we don't.
April 30, 2020 at 19:31
I know. But the fact that it was promising was known weeks earlier. One wonders why the US researchers are repeating peer-reviewed research already do...

SSU, pay attention to this prediction please, that will be #2. :joke: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/396667

About time the US got with the program: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/403978 Slow pokes.

Apparently a very considerate and informed people that they keep their distance as much as possible without it having to be enforced. We tried a loose...
April 30, 2020 at 09:04
you don't get to demand respect if you're a disinformation agent Nos. It's good faith towards the wider community here, so that it's clear what you wr...
April 30, 2020 at 05:12
Of course there's a double standard. One for truth and one for lies. One for people who argue in good faith and another for partisan hacks like you. K...
April 29, 2020 at 19:31
It's true you just have a problem with reading comprehension. While the other papers are indeed not right wing rags, I referred to news negative of Tr...
April 29, 2020 at 19:00
If only you were. Again with the hypocrisy. Here's your heuristic in a nutshell: negative of Trump - - > unreliable, must go out of my way to discredi...
April 29, 2020 at 18:44
Finally. So there's no lame street media either and you can accept all those facts reported in the past years.
April 29, 2020 at 16:37
Then I can only conclude you must suffer from early onset dementia. You used to be an intelligent poster. That reply wasn't it.
April 29, 2020 at 13:55
I suggest you read my post again. Slowly this time. And try to filter out the assumptions you're making on what I'm trying to say and then try to repl...
April 29, 2020 at 13:49
Some things that are remarkably ideological from my point of view. You go from raising taxes on the wealthy and corporation to class warfare without a...

I couldn't rightly say. I had a quick glance at Alabama on wiki and it looks like it used to be rural but now the largest employers are the army and v...
April 29, 2020 at 06:23
Maybe don't make so many assumptions. I live in the European Union and can buy land anywhere. Since I speak three languages, I have a couple of option...
April 28, 2020 at 16:26
Nothing. I'll have gotten it all in place already.
April 28, 2020 at 16:10
I don't care about what people say, I care about what they do. If neither party takes meaningful action but one is marginally better, neither of them ...
April 28, 2020 at 15:07
OK thanks
April 28, 2020 at 09:29
You're right about the distinction between impeachment and impeachment proceedings. Of course it had been going on for some time with the house judici...
April 28, 2020 at 06:58
What is the stellar track record of the Democrats that makes you believe they will actually take action here? Surely you don't mean Obama's plan allow...
April 28, 2020 at 06:48
That's not true. The impeachment proceedings were started on 18 December, well before Covid-19 was known.
April 28, 2020 at 05:59
There's no argument here. Which is sad, because I explicitly asked for one. You then just assume I don't know the difference between the US and Dutch ...
April 28, 2020 at 05:00
Why is it bullshit? It seems to me that if you have a politically corrupt system any vote for the establishment candidates is voting in favour of corr...
April 27, 2020 at 21:02
Where were you complaining when Trump was stonewalling? Oh wait. Your were making excuses for it. Unitary executive theory! What does Trump have to hi...
April 27, 2020 at 20:50
They are just as evil. The power of a President will go sofar as the Senate allows and since that's entirely partisan, it's the two parties that are i...
April 27, 2020 at 18:46
See, I can critise what you say by staying on point instead of crying "dishonest" every other sentence. Do you like playing the victim? You used a ter...
April 27, 2020 at 15:56
Butbutbut... He isn't Trump!
April 27, 2020 at 10:54
can't we get you to move to the Netherlands or something? You'd be a welcome addition to our wonderfully flat country.
April 27, 2020 at 10:52
Brilliant system that manages to offer two evil options two elections in a row!
April 27, 2020 at 10:51
I've voted as well as if I could. I voted third party.

Can someone explain to me how it's possible an industrial producer of bleach is registered as a fucking Church in the USA?
April 27, 2020 at 06:09
I wasn't defending anyone, I was pointing out what I consider an annoying mistake: using a term differently from how it's used and then trying to just...
