You're not putting it into the appropriate context, since most of Trump's voters--and there were a lot of them--believed Trump would "put America Firs...

Our situation the last 60 years before the current situation involved an overwhelming amount of distrust in elected and/or government officials. You s...

It's absolutely not illegal to raise the rates for pre-existing conditions and not to cover those pre-existing conditions in the policy. And it certai...

That didn't show what you think has long been hidden and is no longer concealed in the supposed "Post-Truth world." ....but I guess we can move on.
August 06, 2017 at 19:24
No, they are the same because you say what has long been hidden is no longer concealed. You need to clarify what has long been hidden and is no longer...
August 06, 2017 at 18:56
Now you're saying something different. You're saying the world before the Post-Truth world, the Truth world, hid something. And after that something w...

If you look at your passages closely, you'll see it is what you wrote, if not word for word.
August 06, 2017 at 18:47
So, you're saying Truth is no longer concealed in a theoretical "Post-Truth" world. That doesn't make much sense. This isn't happening now. This dynam...

The studies aren't biased. They're done by sociologists and criminologists who did weigh in those, and other, crucial factors.
August 06, 2017 at 08:37
Studies have shown that capital punishment is no significant deterrent for murder.

You're way off, not only can most citizens not afford health insurance for themselves and their children at their present rates or without a huge dedu...

I showed very well the racist things they said and why they were so. If you didn't see them, you either read the thread poorly or share their racist v...
August 05, 2017 at 23:13
Thorongil and Augustino said racist things and stood by them. So, I correctly called them "racists." Since you have a problem with that, I'm glad you ...
August 05, 2017 at 22:30
Of course you said that. You said it in the exchange below. So, you should be asking "He is retard?" about yourself...:) The rest of your post was inc...
August 05, 2017 at 20:02
No, I made the same accurate claim. You're making the same erroneous deflections here. Yes, you are, and I showed how you were. My reading comprehensi...
August 05, 2017 at 19:58
Then you must think it's funny when I call a tree a "tree" since you've made it clear you're a racist. The fact you have to ask that proves you're an ...
August 05, 2017 at 19:48
Of course you're in favor of it, since in your quote directly above you clearly express your preference for a period when child education was rampant ...
August 05, 2017 at 19:45
Don't mind Augustino. I showed he was an ignoramus and a racist. So, he's only trying to woefully save face...:)
August 05, 2017 at 19:31
No, I'm doing no such thing and you haven't shown I have. So, the only red herring is yours. And you clearly showed you're in favor of child labor and...
August 05, 2017 at 19:29
Watch out. It's only a matter of time before Noble Dust will stalk and troll you like the weirdo he is.
August 05, 2017 at 19:27
No, it's neither and you haven't shown it's either. It doesn't matter that you didn't think it was better back then for that reason. You know those ho...
August 05, 2017 at 19:26
I write in bold in long posts to delineate my writing from my interlocutors. I have no idea why that would bother you. Anyway, my post needed no more ...
August 05, 2017 at 19:21
Sorry, the fact you said ">:O At least, back 200 years ago, a doctor who finished medical school didn't have to slave away for 10s of years before he ...
August 05, 2017 at 19:11
Because doctors weren't professionals with the same requirements as now. But the fact you think it was better then when a black child had decidedly su...
August 05, 2017 at 18:40
The fact you ask that is very sad. Of course it was worse. At least 1/2 had the money for school and ended up doing child labor on to terrible labor t...
August 05, 2017 at 18:35
Nah, the one needing to do that is clearly you. Increasing a deficient amount is not repeating the same unsuccessful act.
August 05, 2017 at 18:24
No, you face the empirical problem of how the--"ever increasing" is a nebulous phrase--billions spent on education has translated into some success, b...
August 05, 2017 at 18:16
I got ya.
August 05, 2017 at 14:10
Except wouldn't recovery from being thrown and achieving Dasein be contingent on reconciliation with one's own time, as well as one's history and cult...
August 05, 2017 at 13:53
As I noted above, they weren't archivists at all, and you haven't shown them to be. As I noted above, they were engagers, interpreters, and synthesize...
August 05, 2017 at 13:44
My thoughts exactly.
August 05, 2017 at 12:22
Sorry, Heidegger wasn't an archiver, a mere collector of information. He engaged and interpreted great thinkers, and integrated those engagements and ...
August 05, 2017 at 11:48
Sorry, the sentence in question and my language werent' vague and you haven't shown it is. You just completely misrepresented what I said. So, it's on...
August 05, 2017 at 04:29
No, they are not; they are somatic and mental manifestations of chemical imbalances in the brain. No, I'm not. They are biological functions and biolo...
August 05, 2017 at 04:27
I just mean the natural world, as in everything. I never said they were. You need to go read what I wrote again and retract that.
August 05, 2017 at 04:21
It's funny how people think you can't improve a military without throwing immense amounts of money at it, but they think you can improve an education ...
August 05, 2017 at 04:19
I got you, but I would say we are not the "shame" of the animal kingdom because Nature knows no "shame" and every "shameful" thing we do is as much a ...
August 05, 2017 at 04:10
No, emotions are also physical reactions and expressions of unconscious experience and feeling, particularly with the more irrational ones like hate, ...
August 05, 2017 at 03:43
We pay taxes for this service; It's called the police force. It's anti-business and anti-citizen to expect them to pay anything further. Also, putting...
August 05, 2017 at 03:03
Of course it can be demonstrated to be wrong and I've already done so in my previous posts. Go re-read them if you wish. You certainly haven't counter...
August 05, 2017 at 01:07
The only one making insults was you. And you clearly can't make an opposing argument, despite your blather. So, you've only been wasting my time, and ...
August 05, 2017 at 00:58
So, you still can't make an opposing argument. Good to know.
August 05, 2017 at 00:56
Some were. Most weren't. Some protestors are willing to die now. And back then there was a war and Jim crow laws to fight against. So, no, people aren...
August 05, 2017 at 00:52
No, the only dogma is your correction of it, since you clearly can't offer an argument for an alternative to what I said. Thanks for helping to prove ...
August 05, 2017 at 00:38
No, your erroneously calling it question-begging is question-begging. I know it because there is nothing else it could come from. Feel free to name so...
August 05, 2017 at 00:31
Sorry, you're still wrong as even most of the protests in the 60's didn't involve people willing to give up their lives. So, protest today is not a wa...
August 05, 2017 at 00:27
Yes it is, as any type of thinking humans do comes from our bodies and genetic programming, as does birds' ability to fly. Secondly, rationality is ju...
August 05, 2017 at 00:19
You can mistakenly call it what you like. But they're still protesting and clearly aren't buying into his lies, so whether they're willing to put it o...
