The left has an honorable habit of being magnanimous. But when thou striketh the king, strike not to wound. We struck Trump and it would be a horrible...
You used common sense when you suspected the dismissal was done begrudgingly. I agree. Nevertheless, our common sense does not rise to the level of a ...
If you can't answer questions, or admit when you are wrong, you might think you are happy (I'm sure Trump does), but it won't help yourself or anybody...
I'm not into little boys, but I could really walk around a Mediterranean climate in robes all day, talking with smart people. When I finally started t...
I read James back in the early 80s. By Russel, is that Bertrand? I may have run by him too. I have not tackled Schopenhauer yet. I've seen him mention...
The burden of proof that it was "begrudgingly" would be upon you. And, since you believe a presumption of innocence, I know you didn't mean "begrudgin...
I wish I had what it took to read like that. It takes an appreciation for time (there is more of it than we think), and an ability to ignore, or get a...
I agree there is no natural intuition to step back and look at the bigger picture. I don't think it's natural for people (or any animal) to look at th...
What do you mean "here we are"? Didn't they drop the charges? The presumption of innocence applies to a finder of fact (jury, or judge in a bench tria...
Uh, no. It's a presumption of innocence. That's why we let them go. Remind the right next time someone on the left is accused of something, or walks b...
At one time someone asked another: "If we lead a man to knowledge can we make him think?" Philosophy proved that you can't fix stupid. And it proves t...
That's how the rich get away with crime: They have minions do their dirty work for them. They can then pretend they didn't know. Notice it was dropped...
Are you saying I said that, or not? If I said it, fine. Show me where I said it. If not, then why should I "move on"? Are you saying I should ignore a...
Yes, your kind. I don't want to debate with an unreasonable person. I'm vetting the sincerity of your curiosity. Again, can you show me where I said w...
?James Riley You think you know me? You're incapable of knowing yourself! Debate me and I'll show you why. Side bar. Not saying I didn't say it, but c...
I've already explained "so what." But since you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll take another stab at it: It's important the reasonable peopl...
Until you confess your sins to the public, no reasonable person would teach you how wrong you are on the merits. Your failure to confess has brought t...
The mistake in your reasoning has already been dealt with. It is not the left that can't get over it. It's the right. Hell, they're still whining abou...
A digression: If God is the universe, then everywhere you look . . . . But yeah, anyone can prove A = A; but how to prove A does not = -A. It's not my...
I wrote a rant but deleted it. It was beneath me. I find there cannot be reasonable debate unless and until the person I would engage with publicly an...
The tax rate being high worked it's magic long before the tax shenanigans kicked in in response. The taxes loop holes came along and then we cut taxes...
Wise words. Especially about showing them what it means to govern for the people. But it always comes down to shoe leather. My sister, in Maine, said ...
Actually, an inefficient economy will produce HUGE profits and things will spiral down and out of control as happens every time some dufus tries trick...
That all depends upon whose economic distortions are the few we let in. The radicals are the natural and expected "it is what it is" response to thing...
The problem with your analysis is this: If we paid true cost (which free-market capitalism would demand), then the price of every single product and s...
:100: It's just that leading by example hasn't worked if those who do are out-done by the government/corporations. One way to lead by example is to pa...
Some folks (I'm not one of them) learn to lead and get the young un's to do all the hard work. :wink: Kind of like the Plutocracy gets the minions to ...
That is certainly true of a true democracy. In the U.S., the founding fathers tried to prevent a tyranny of the majority with a Bill of Rights, repres...
We had a little respite, but now Trump is getting oxygen again from mainstream media. Is there something newsworthy, or is this proof they want the is...
I don't know what makes some people "empaths" and others not, but I have noticed that those who are not tend to change their tune when the chickens co...
Not all shadows are cast by animals. Rocks cast shadows. So do trees. The distinguishing factor is movement; not so much that which is moving (object ...
I say corn is grass and you can have too much of a good thing. Check out U.S. individual relationship to corn. Also, grazers spend a large percentage ...
Maybe, but you asked: And I responded, talking only about humans in their most basic animal blood/brain/organ simplicity. I know I'm not the most "coh...
Your OP talks about brains, and minds, and consciousness, and blood, and the relative importance of other organs. It also suggests than none of that i...
It's not difficult at all, if they get the hell out of the way. :grin: We used to have a saying in the Marine Corps: "Lead, follow, or get the hell ou...
Prefatory to my comments, I found this on a social networking page: "i feel like liberals, who mostly avoid rw media, have no idea of the craziness th...
