Yes, and thanks to the EPA and Nixon (?). (Not sure about the latter but I think he was behind some good anti-libertarian env. regs/statutes.) Anyway,...
I think so. A libertarian upstream can do whatever he wants with and on his own property, including dumping his shit in the stream. The libertarian do...
Yes. When is yelling "Vaccines aren't safe" when they are safe, the equivalent of yelling "Fire" in the theater when there is no fire? Hey, I've got a...
I find that to be as compelling as my own take on the matter, and even more comforting. Maybe a more objective view from 30k feet? I hope it is true. ...
I haven't read this whole thread, but how is that "forcing" anyone to do anything? I'd like to see fact-checkers engaged more aggressively and misinfo...
It is my opinion that there are two values: 1. Need; 2. Want. Free markets provide an incentive to locate that which is needed, free, and abundant, an...
I'd say that I have established it (I have) and you have not, but since you know what I'm thinking, then you must have established it too, right? But ...
The funny thing is, your myopic, human-centered BS is precisely what put us the position we are in. Had our dumb asses conceived of nature as some rom...
And had you lead with that, I might have deigned to entertain you. But instead, you pretended to tell me what my position was. So, I figure if you kno...
So the answer is "no." You don't have the intellectual horsepower to come up with something other than murder. Instead, you put a qualifier of "time" ...
We all have a propensity to use "liberal" and "conservative" to denominate a person as opposed to a position. I just did it. But again, where racism a...
Speaking generally, their only recourse is government; either government action, or government forbearance. They have forfeited the credible alternati...
I don't know what a "true Scotsman" is. I've seen the reference twice today and have yet to look it up. Anyway, a conservative value is one that seeks...
:100: My "even if" argument is that, were there to actually be some "woe is me" whites getting put-upon, they should understand the natural phenomena ...
Yeah. :roll: You're an idiot. If someone with a brain wants to discuss it, I will. But it's been discussed before. Edited to add: I’m letting my frust...
It's funny how hard people will try to understand a given point of view when they are getting paid big money to win on it and when the other side will...
I thought you might be over my head (maybe you are) but my brain shut down reading your post. All I can say is homo sapiens is an animal and we share ...
It also helps "get down to the nut" and dispense with all the noise, spin, distraction and irrelevant "distinctions without a difference." Once you ar...
I had amended my post after finding it: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35370374 It was about 10k ya and involved hunter-gathers. Kennewick man ...
I know you guys are talking generalities and eschewing anecdote (as well you should) but whenever I dream about roaming the continent hunting, and min...
If I understand what you are saying, this has been around forever in law schools. I've never heard the term "steel man" though. One should always try ...
:100: I'd like to see it, but I've also learned from this man that no new low is low enough to turn his sycophants away from him. If it was two (or mo...
That's the way I see it. Encroachment on "my" hunting grounds, tit for tat, blood feuds, etc. Some was just dick-measuring raids/warfare. It's a real ...
:100: I did a quick overview with my buddy Wiki (on both Mondragon and Jackson). The only thing I see that would make race less of an issue in those c...
I know there was lot's of warfare between different tribes but I don't know if it was race-based. I think there was so much capture, slavery and breed...
I hope this question isn't too much of a digression from the OP, but my wife and I were talking the other day about the racial issues in the U.S. and ...
I'm beginning to see why people think you are flakey. I didn't say anything about murder. I didn't say you were unrealistic. I don't want to engage wi...
Interesting question. It brings to mind the people who charge others with appropriation. Whites charged with appropriating black culture, Indian cultu...
Over population is a real and horrible thing. It is morally repugnant and patently arrogant to think otherwise. All the clap-trap about what could be,...
You are wrong. Over-population is a thing. We are already (and have been for a long, long time) way past sustainability. Simple logic: We can no longe...
Oh. When you said "German Czechs" I was thinking of Germans in Czechoslovakia, like German Americans, not Czech Germans. Either way, that sounds like ...
You'd have to dumb that down for me. I'm not understanding what you mean. Particularly the "subsumed" aspect. A cultural analogy would be, has Europea...
I read "race" is a human thing, and so I agree. But, while dogs are all the same species (canis lupus) and can interbreed, I think the many different ...
Yeah, it's a fallacy. Call it out when you see it. But be leery of going on a crusade. I get called out as a boomer, an old white man, blah blah blah....
I agree with you. It is strange, though, that a strong trend toward individualism is based upon making sure others perceive us as individuals. Back in...
I agree with that sentiment, but I can't even understand the desire for others to refer to me in a manner of my choosing. How other's talk about me is...
We judge people based not upon the objective act, but upon what we think lies in their heart when doing the act. Bugs, fish, whatever: Evil, sadistic ...
We should not gather it all up when nature is doing it for us for free. She's been doing exactly that for millions of years. All that sun gathered up ...
Society is changing, not collapsing. Man is a social beast (except me) and will always be, even if he's wandering a post-apocalyptical nuclear waste l...
:100: Ten ring! Every time I hear someone whining about the price of a gallon of gas I think about how shocked they'd be if true cost were charged. We...
