No, Creative, it's tragic you actually believe what you say. I already showed everything you just said is ridiculous in my earlier post I'm re-posting...

The only one who's been trolled is me by Creative, unless his logic is really that bad, and by you. And if you can't show how one post of mine has bee...

Read my last post. The only one with unshakable, and nonsensical, conviction is you. And your first sentence of your last tweet is as nonsensical as y...

That is so nonsensical and fallacious, it's sweet. Using that logic, if someone said someone's eating Ice cream was proof of Russian collusion, only t...

Thanks for supporting my point since none of this "some testimony, other documents, emails, etc" proves, or even substantially points to, Russia hacki...

Sigh...I answered you above. So, you should take your shits and giggles and go play with them elsewhere. I will let my last post stand on the matter.

You're really obsessed with shits and giggles; you should probably talk to someone about that. And no evidence has been provided, so there is no evide...

I wouldn't know, since I've never defended Trump. So, you better take those shits and giggles back. This would be a question for a specialist in Inter...

And since you like "balls" taunts, try to have the balls next time to address the initiator of personal shots, not the respondent.

Actually, you should have the balls to not make childish "balls." taunts. And returning a personal shot is not falling for anything, but returning the...

I made a joke. Rich started with the personal shots; I merely returned them in kind.

You think they're entirely gone? The quality of on-line universities must really be declining.

You keep saying that as if you have no idea theres' no evidence of that and you have provided none. It's cute. I don't care about the quantum definiti...

Sorry, as I said above: "You can keep repeating that falsehood all you like. Until you back it up with evidence and/or convincing argument; it remains...

You can keep repeating that falsehood all you like. Until you back it up with evidence and/or convincing argument; it remains the falsehood it is. The...

Says someone who mistakenly thinks they are the apodictic authority on the matter and has given no evidence or sufficient argument to support their er...

This just isnt' true as Postmodern/Post-Structuralist theory--and that's a broad category--is actively or unknowingly used by many in Academia. It's i...

This Romantic personal experience is always a factor, but it is not the only, or even the primary, factor. Morel like everyone has their own relation ...

Well, you haven't shown Trump has taken a huge "whack" of cash from the Russians either. Feel free to provide the link. And there's nothing illegal ab...

Sorry, there's no evidence of Trump receiving a huge amount of money from the Kremlin for anything, much less for tampering with the election. The Cli...

Firstly, don't ever talk about propriety when discussing the Trump's or the Clintons. They are both corrupt families with no regard for human lives ot...

No, the biggest lie of all is your saying I'm wrong. Obama straight up lied to us about having the NSA unconstitutionally monitor our phones. Bush sha...

Actually, it was the Democrats/DNC who ran the most repugnant and repulsive campaign when they rigged the primary against their superior candidate, Be...

Is that an argument you're making? I hope not. The Trumps have lied like Obama, the Bushes, and the Clintons lied before them. That doesn't mean they'...

And yet there is no evidence that happened because of Russia. But we know for a fact the Hillary campaign worked with their media connections to build...

To prove this true, or even support it as likely, you have to show what Trump has gotten from the Russians and how he has bent to them. So, far we've ...

What is the big surprise? As of yet, it's not clear the Russians have gotten anything except possibly the lessening of sanctions for actions they have...

Most people in politics, including Dubya, Obama, and Hillary, have been caught in bold-faced lies. That doesn't denote treason, which has been thrown ...

America already is an oligarchy and has been one a long time.

No problem...:)

No, it wasn't, so there is semantic room for argument based on what someone sees as the prerequisites for being a follower. He certainly wasn't a Cath...

I get what you're saying. I won't argue he ever was a full-bodied practitioner, but its clear his times of attendance had significant interest in them...

I have read and taught Blakes works. I know he eventually rejected Swedenborg, but he still was an attendant of his religious masses and took substant...

I got ya.

It is true that he was a Swedenborgian as he and his wife attended services, and even if he eventually grew enchanted with Swedenborg, that does not c...

He was a Swedenborgian, a Christian gnostic. You're really both wrong here. Nietzsche neither surpassed Christian thinkers nor was a confused man. His...

I got you, it usually denotes the possible, but can denote the definite.

I don't make any point of yours, but you definitely make my point that flawed reasoning has infected your arguments on this thread. Your unfounded inf...

In writing Santa Claus I gave a perfect example of things that should require proof before adults believe in them and, again, showed the flaws in your...

No, my answer perfectly answered your question and showed how ridiculous your argument is.

Don't misrepresent me. I said guilt can be a part of the cause of depression. Also, I'm not sure if responsibility is the word as much as rationality.

Of course it's true. The line of succession has nothing to do with the results of the electoral college election. So, we're done here. And keep that "...

Of course it is since you cant' be president without having won the most electoral votes. Go read up on that and get back to me.

and it is a predicate since the first statement is dependent on the second.

Whether predicate or premise, the argument ""Donald Trump is the President, and so therefore he won the most electoral college votes" is a valid one.

No. it's a predicate.

No, it's not since he could only be president if he won the most electoral votes. So, the statement is valid.

Except it does, since this was an electoral college election.
