Actually, you have every reason to believe I'm speaking sincerely since you haven' shown in any way that I haven't been doing so. My favorite sentence...
August 08, 2017 at 09:46
Except Creative is erroneously describing our present condition by either directly using the term "post-truth" or by erroneously saying we live in a w...
August 08, 2017 at 09:40
The problem is neither you, nor anybody else, has been focusing on a "post-truth" society as a hypothetical, but as a present condition. You do that w...
August 08, 2017 at 09:21
And yet you just replied. And I wasn't "playing;" I was just responding to your erroneous comment.
August 08, 2017 at 09:15
Since we're not in a "Post-Truth" society, that cant' be the problem
August 08, 2017 at 09:10
Not really, more like one person erroneously calling someone a troll because they can't counter their arguments and the accused correctly noting that ...
August 08, 2017 at 09:08
No it doesn't. It shows knowledge of previous reality. To assume there is just one problem or many neatly tied together presupposes both knowledge of ...
August 08, 2017 at 09:06
You just described yourself perfectly, and thanks for showing you can't show how Trump is "malevolent."
August 08, 2017 at 09:02
Nah, "malevolent" rarely gets thrown out as a description for Trump, as opposed to Netanyahu or Putin, and you haven't even made an argument for him b...
August 08, 2017 at 05:07
That's your subjective opinion--about his malevolence, not his incompetence--that doesn't counter anything I said. When he actually matches the horror...
August 08, 2017 at 04:45
No he's not a whole other level of awful: 1. George W. Bush sent thousands of Americans to die in an Iraq War (he knew was bogus) that left millions o...
August 08, 2017 at 04:38
This is all irrelevant since we don't impeach presidents on popular opinions. Of course it's a matter of policies. Those are what actually hurt people...
August 08, 2017 at 04:23
We definitely had that under Dubya (who a lot of centrist Democrats love for some disturbing reason), and pretty much had it under Reagan, too. The pr...
August 08, 2017 at 04:12
The problems are twofold: 1. There is never just one problem; there are always many that are never neatly tied together. 2. A single problem can never...
August 08, 2017 at 04:05
Sounds good.
August 08, 2017 at 04:00
This has been a great difficulty for mankind throughout its history...and probably always will be.
August 08, 2017 at 03:47
We could be having the best, most compassionate, and most visionary candidate--Bernie Sanders--driving the bus, but the DNC had to rig the primary aga...
August 08, 2017 at 03:07
No, it was bolding to delineate my statements from my interlocutors. But keep trying to foment Augustino's sad, deluded hostility without contributing...
August 08, 2017 at 00:47
Sorry, but an opinion piece is just that--an opinion piece. It is not evidentiary support for your opinion. And Politifact is a biased publication tha...
August 08, 2017 at 00:34
No, I've shown very well, in my last few posts, you haven't said this at all. As, clearly, does your personal use of "skepticism." So, not only have y...
August 07, 2017 at 19:35
Then your personal usage of Skepticism is no longer a rejection of brute-facts, since you acknowledged--in your bold quote below--your personal use of...
August 07, 2017 at 19:33
Except that quoting has been useless, since your personal usage of the word has a different meaning. Except your inclusion of all "if-then" statements...
August 07, 2017 at 19:00
You should know exactly what it means since you, yourself, said it in the bold quote below: Yes, and that great length has confused things. Again, nob...
August 07, 2017 at 18:55
You just made Skepticism the uber-concept that can "simulate every metaphysics." That gives it all meaning and no meaning. If people want to know what...
August 07, 2017 at 18:31
Uh, oh. Augustino's having himself a meltdown. Thanks for proving me right again by throwing around childish insults like "cuckoo" and "coward"...espe...
August 07, 2017 at 11:14
Sorry, you never specified this at all. You asked for a link that backed my claim that the death penalty wasn't a deterrent, and I gave you one. So, n...
August 07, 2017 at 11:03
So, you have never read it. You're a pretty sad liar. The proof is in the article for everyone to read and see how ridiculous, and dishonest, you've b...
August 07, 2017 at 05:16
Marc Mayer wasnt one of the main scholars in the study. Nice cherry-picking, though.
August 07, 2017 at 04:53
No, one doesnt', only someone who was watching poorly like yourself. Greenwald's article--and Greenwald is immensely more informed than you on the mat...
August 07, 2017 at 04:39
I obviously have and I saw it was mostly bluster with no real penalties at all. The fact she chose to endorse Hillary Clinton--the banks good buddy--o...
August 07, 2017 at 04:03
Sorry, Elizabeth Warren, for all her bluster has been mostly a life-long Republican who still has bank and corporate connections and supports the Bank...
August 07, 2017 at 00:57
No, you didn't address what I said at all. So, it is your understanding of the ACA is completely wrong. And there is still a GOP plan to fight ACA. So...
August 07, 2017 at 00:36
This has been going on in America, and the rest of the world, for centuries. The actual problem is Trump is a reactionary conservative whose policies ...
August 07, 2017 at 00:33
No, you're lying now, Creat, since what you said happened never happened. That was incoherent nonsense, and I've been very consistent. . Not only are ...
August 06, 2017 at 22:41
Sorry, that's just rates. That says nothing about increasing deductible or refusing to cover the pre-existing condition. And that current law will cha...
August 06, 2017 at 22:25
And speaking of insults, isn't it funny, Augustino, that I can find you insulting someone: "Anyway, we're done. Life's too short for me to spend much ...
August 06, 2017 at 22:15
LOL. Sorry, not playing someone else's stupid game isn't cowardice. It's wisdom. And thanks for further confirming you cant' show anywhere where I ins...
August 06, 2017 at 22:13
What the hell are you talking about? Your'e trying to say what my intent was, and you have no idea what my intent was. And I never said you insulted m...
August 06, 2017 at 22:10
Sorry, you guys have no idea what my intent was. And you were clearly trying to insult me, even Augustino admitted that. Thanks for even more support.
August 06, 2017 at 22:07
LOL. Sorry, that conversation doesn't show one insult. Thanks for making my point for me. And calling someone a racist when they say racist things, as...
August 06, 2017 at 22:05
Then you disagree with Augustino that I insulted you. Thanks for the support. And it was very sincere...:)
August 06, 2017 at 22:02
Oh, So, what I wrote did insult you? And you read my post poorly, I made it clear I wasn't insulted.
August 06, 2017 at 22:00
Yes, you're very wrong, you tried to insult me, but I wasn't insulted. But if you didn't insult me, I certainly didn't insult you. So, I'm good with e...
August 06, 2017 at 21:58
Yep, and that was you, too. You know yourself too well.
August 06, 2017 at 21:56
Yep, and that was you, Creativesoul. Not much one can do about that...:)
August 06, 2017 at 21:54
So, you admit your bias. Good. I haven't insulted anyone until then. But I've seen you insult people a lot. So, why feel the need to insult strangers ...
August 06, 2017 at 21:54
I'm not the one who insulted first; Creative Soul was. The fact you didn't notice that shows how biased, and worthless, your opinion is on the matter....
August 06, 2017 at 21:50
They absolutely can vary the rates, areas of coverage and deductible based on preexisting condition and they do. The rates were not to be kept under c...
August 06, 2017 at 21:20
The only one who is making himself look bad is you, both with your stupidity and your pathetic meltdown. And the only thing I confirmed was that stupi...
August 06, 2017 at 21:06
You tell us, and tell us why it is relevant to the discussion.
