Supremacist is your term - not mine. Accused of being a white supremacist I said I'm pro-western. I'm proud of western civilisation. Its contributions...

You may outnumber me, and be more abusive, and have the power of the moderators on your side - to get away with what I can't, but I'm still the only o...

Where?
January 19, 2021 at 21:48
Is it? So you're a racist then? So why can't I, also - be a racist? Is it because I is white? Are you saying that black people can pursue their intere...

I'm not the one claiming Floyd was killed, and/or murdered - ahead of a verdict. I'm demonstrating the mistake you are making prejudging the case; and...

I'm from the North of England - and it was economically devastated by the closing of the coal mines and the end of heavy industry culminating in the e...

You pick snippets from my argument you think you can digest in your own way, but leave behind my meaning. I promote science as truth, I have an evolut...

Was she a junkie criminal scumbag? No! But okay, let's come at this from a different angle. I consider myself a philosopher. I didn't leap at the firs...

I would be saying the same thing If George Floyd had been a white junkie criminal scumbag. His skin colour ISN'T AN ISSUE FOR ME! It's an issue for yo...
January 19, 2021 at 18:22
That's really fucking vicious. Why are you trying to disgrace me? How many times do I have to tell you, race isn't an issue for me? I am actively seek...

On the face of it, absent of a highly charged political atmosphere, a man was arrested, he resisted arrest - fighting off four police officers, he was...

Thanks Raul, that's good of you to say so. You may be interested to read my plans for how to secure a prosperous and sustainable future, elsewhere on ...

There are two great lessons of the 20th century, and we didn't learn either. The first is that Communism doesn't work. The collapse of Communism in Ru...

Oh, you are? Then get your entertainment elsewhere. If you don't care about any of this all you're doing is amusing yourself at my expense, and I rese...
January 18, 2021 at 23:17
Are not you better placed to tell me, than I am to tell you - to what degree you identify with the ideas I've criticised? You haven't explained, but y...
January 18, 2021 at 23:04
I'm not going to rise to your provocation. I've spoken honestly, and explained my position eloquently. Your repeated assertions of racism are because ...
January 18, 2021 at 22:39
There you go with the stereotyping. It's okay when you do it, huh? I do believe in climate change, and I'm not white supremacist. But I am pro-Western...
January 18, 2021 at 22:09
Just thought I'd collect all your posts in one place that I can take them in. Were I a critic I should say that they lack wit, lack insight, and lack ...

I have no counterparts. I am fiercely intellectually independent. Western capitalism invented the Covid vaccine. I'm not sure what skin colour the act...

No I encounter bad faith arguments, and...
January 18, 2021 at 20:56
How depressing that you immediately see things in terms of skin colour. Do you consider yourself racist?
January 18, 2021 at 20:53
Let me ask you a question. Who invented the Covid vaccine, and who's going to pay for the rest of the world to get it if the WHO have their way? You a...

I'm worried about the left wing, post modernist, politically correct, anti-capitalist assault on western civilisation.
January 18, 2021 at 20:26
No. If I'm mistaken, please show me in what way. I'd be happy to learn because frankly, I'm worried.
January 18, 2021 at 20:21
Look at the statistics on the Bureau of Justice Statistics website. I did when the BLM rioting, burning and looting started because I wanted to know t...
January 18, 2021 at 20:17
The defence say he wasn't killed. The defence say he overdosed. The autopsies are evidence - the value of which is yet to be determined by the jury. S...

I didn't edit the video plastered all over social media, or tailor my description of events to make the suspect seem guiltless and helpless. I'm not c...
January 18, 2021 at 19:58
You should have viewed the police bodycam footage. It shows Floyd, handcuffed, fighting four police officers - making it impossible to put him in the ...

You think you know, but you don't. — counterpunch Oh, but you don't.
January 18, 2021 at 19:26
Did you read your own reference? The two autopsies are contradictory. And there's a toxicology report at issue. Which is exactly what I said. So don't...
January 18, 2021 at 19:24
Yes, I'm perfectly well aware of the sweeping assumptions I make about people here - but those people are quite free to refute those accusations, and ...

Is Kenosha Kid the Medical Examiner in the Floyd case? I had no idea! I should have done my research. I've only been able to determine that there are ...
January 18, 2021 at 19:10
Just read - anything, everything. Make up your own damn mind. The books you've cited all lead to a very left wing, subjectivist, metaphysical understa...
January 18, 2021 at 18:58
I know, I read it. I think it's the wrong question, because, as I explained, the consumer cannot be expected to bear the cognitive burden of knowing h...

Kant is very difficult to read. It's probably better to get a book about Kant than a book by him. Schopenhauer was a terrible person who wrote terribl...

Read about it and then, go with your gut. Trust that you have an inbuilt moral sense that will enable you to determine right from wrong, on the basis ...

Generally, I start on page 1 and go from there! Seriously though, chronologically - by year of publication!
January 18, 2021 at 17:54
No. You think you know, but you don't. You think you know because that's what you want to believe, and are not intelligent enough to understand that w...
January 18, 2021 at 17:03
No. He's dead. "Death" would be a perfectly appropriate word to use in the sentence The ______ of George Floyd. The term 'death' is accurate, and it's...
January 18, 2021 at 16:05
Correct answer. Doesn't fit in the space provided, but yes, you get the point. Here's the thing. What does a refusal to answer signify? Do they know t...
January 18, 2021 at 15:18
I'll make my point when you complete the sentence: The _____ of George Floyd! Just say the first thing that pops into your otherwise empty head!
January 18, 2021 at 15:01
No. It's in relation to my earlier comment. You're supposed to be philosophers. You should be able to get this.

I was speaking to a telemarketer when you so rudely interrupted me with this nothing of a comment!
January 18, 2021 at 14:09
Wrong answer! But good to know where your head is at!
January 18, 2021 at 14:00
Okay, complete the sentence: The _______ of George Floyd!
January 18, 2021 at 13:50
As opposed to only seeing things in black, like lefty political correctness freaks do?
January 18, 2021 at 13:46
