I don't think that says what you think it does, or what it appears to say. I have a degree in sociology and politics, including statistical method - a...

I'm not standing for that. I wish to complain. I haven't insulted you, and I don't expect to be insulted. But that's exactly where you left wing ideol...

That was entirely on purpose - because Black Lies matter is based on lies; a false social media narrative, constructed from carefully edited phonecam ...

It doesn't take into account the number, or type of crimes committed. Look at the bare statistics. Black people - particularly young black males, are ...

Okay, loathe me then, but statistics speak louder than social media narratives. And the fact is, Black Lies Matter is a false social media narrative c...

Black people are 13% of the US population, but commit a lot more crime. For example, according to Bureau of Justice Statistics data from 2003-2012, bl...

Have a look at this video on youtube: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube%2c+john+oliver%2c+voting+machines&docid=608054794221454549&mid=F3D9...

50% of people are below average intelligence - and average intelligence isn't much to brag about. Those working in the media; one would assume, are ab...

I would like to agree with you, but objective truth is a very difficult thing to establish, particularly - in the midst of a politicised, polarised me...

I don't know if the election was a fraud or not. I'm in the UK - a long way from this, and I could get just as convincing arguments from the other sid...

No. It's not sarcasm. My philosophical aim is to save humankind from extinction, and I know how. The only conceit is the immodesty of saying so. So, y...

Sorry for the delay - I was washing up and making dinner. There's more to news than merely catering to the audience. There's supposed to be journalist...

Thank you for the warm-ish welcome. I was attracted to the forum because I am the most significant philosophical thinker of this, or any other generat...

I don't see it that way. Rightly or wrongly, those people believed the election was a fraud - in much the same Democrats called the 2016 election a fr...

Given that half of government and all of the media are steeped in political correctness; given that Kier Starmer leapt to his knees for Black Lies Mat...

You're right. I don't understand. It wasn't intended as a joke. Did I make a funny? Please explain it to me.
January 09, 2021 at 19:32
Bias is exactly the same as opinion. Bias is a synonym for opinion. Not that it's a particularly significant point. I was merely drawing out the views...
January 09, 2021 at 19:28
Yes, I suppose you did. Were you virtue signalling?
January 09, 2021 at 18:59
Okay. As a matter of fact, humankind are a single species. In those terms, there is no such thing as race. And yet, left wing ideology insists there i...

It's easy to be a centrist when the two main political parties have run away to the extremes. In practice, it makes me politically homeless. What I wa...

Thanks for the advice. I'll stop when it gets boring.
January 09, 2021 at 18:39
As I were... what? I don't understand you. Don't dehumanize me. I am very much a real person. Politically, I consider myself centrist, and I'm not rac...

If racism is not an opinion - what is it? I don't understand what you mean by 'its active hurt from the get go.' We're not chatting here. This is a ph...

I have problems with cogito ergo sum; both the means by which Descartes arrives at this conclusion, and its implications. Firstly, its radical skeptic...

You say: "Racists should hang from the rafters and have their life slowly squeezed out of them until they choke on their own spit and blood." That see...
