On occasion, I'm not infallible, and neither experts. You're just twisting my words to make your own argument not sound as dumb by comparison.
-
It sounds like you like the only arguments you can beat are idiotic strawmen of your own creation.
-
I'm not saying that experts have no expertise, what I am saying, is that just because they are an expert doesn't mean they are always right, so saying the experts agree therefore end of argument, is a logical fallacy. Get a better argument, if all you have is an appeal to authority, that's weak sauce, if that's your best material, you lose. If you think experts say it's true, therefore we just blindly accept what they are saying, holds up in court, just solely on the basis of their being an expert, that's not how the legal system works. Judges are well aware of that logical fallacy, the argument has to be credible, being an expert is not enough. Being an expert doesn't make you infallible, the argument needs to judged on it's own merits, not on how much of an expert the person making the argument is.

1. Appeal to authority fallacy 2. Jews are cool, and if they are proud of their heritage that doesn't make them racist. Being proud of the accomplishments of your ancestors, is normal, it's not racist. Being proud of your heritage is not disparaging of people from different backgrounds. If you don't think the past matters, and has deeply effected your present and future, you're just being ignorant.

Lefties who see racism under every rock wouldn't know common use if it slapped them in the face, they just tunnel vision on white racism and try and paint the entire slogan as racist just because a few racists use it. Their bubble is not "common use", just common use in their tiny fringe extremist bubble, they simply project the way they think the word is used on everyone else. Only questioning the motives of white people who are proud of their heritage is anti-white racism, just as only questioning the motives of Jews who are proud of their heritage is antisemitic.

Never said that nothing on wikipedia is true, never said that about the NYT or CBS either. Strawman. Their opinion on what is and isn't racist though, very suspect though, especially in this case.
-
If wikipedia says it, it must be true. This is the level of insight you bring to the table, be ashamed.
-
Being proud that you're white is no more or less racist than being proud that you're black, or being proud you're "insert race or ethnicity" here. Pretending otherwise is asinine. Only suspecting the motives of white people when they are proud of their heritage is racist.
-
Who decides what is common usage? How do we know the common perception isn't a faulty perception based on anecdotal evidence? Are biased people crafting these definitions of what is "common use", and a creating a strawman? These are questions you have to ask yourself. Leftists be trying to redefine words all the time to fit their narrative, that doesn't mean their definitions are accurate, or that they are even aware of what common usage is, they might know what the common usage is within their anecdotal bubble, but they don't speak for everyone, they just like to think they do.
-
Plenty of black racists use the term Black Pride, plenty of white racists use the term White Pride, plenty of non-racists also use those terms. You a creating a distinction without a difference.
-
If Black Pride isn't racist, then how is White Pride racist? Double standard is obvious. Either they are both racist, or neither is racist, make up your mind.

Why can't Canada destroy the US?

Canadians hate on Americans for idiotic reasons, and make excuses for far worse regimes on a regular basis. -
It isn't inevitable, it's never going to happen, it's entirely unnatrual, and is pie in the sky wishful thinking that does not take into account human nature. You project your own views on the rest of humanity, and it leads to faulty analysis.
-
No it won't, countries matter more, because people don't see themselves as earthlings, they see themselves as citizens of a nation, and they have more in common with their own countrymen than all humans in general. Humans are tribal creatures, you rejecting human nature will not lead to a one world government representing all of humanity, with most humans rejecting all tribal affiliations other than homo sapiens, pure wishful thinking on your part.
-
American teams win, because they are better run franchises, with less meddlesome owners and have less toxic rabid fanbases. Has nothing to do with some Gary Bettman conspiracy.
-
Nations matter, earthling means jack chit.
-
They have claim to the land they own, Mexico stole the land to begin with, then America took it from them, live by the sword, die by the sword. Mexicans have no claim.

Easier to deal with BC lefties, than the lefties in all of Canada, on top of the BC lefties. Pro tip. Clarity Act FTW, Vive le Quebec libre.
-
I don't want that British Columbian anchor around my neck, let them deal with the cost of their nonsense, they won't be able to pay for it all, and the backlash will hurt the left, even in BC. Without other Canadians to help pay for it, they can't get away with as much, Clarity Act ftw.

He's going to keep asking why everyone hasn't risen up and destroyed America yet, that's what he's going to do about it. No matter how many times you explain to him why that isn't going to happen, he'll just keep asking anyway, incredulous that the world doesn't hate America as much he does, and the people that live in his anti-American bubble do, so he projects those views on the world as a defense mechanism. The only answer he wants to hear is that the world does want to destroy America, and is just waiting for the perfect time to strike, which is the only reason they haven't done so already. He thinks the 9/11 terrorists views actually reflect the views of most non-Americans, he assumes the world hates America as much as they do, not even kidding. -
Trump does not support white supremacy. The left supports Islam, you confuse atheists for the left, just because the left has some atheists who hate on all religions. Many leftists support Islam, because they view Islam as being oppressed, while they view Christians as the oppressors, hence all the shouting about Islamophobia, that talk ain't coming from the right, that's the left dude. Stop projecting your views on the left, you might be a lefty, but that doesn't mean all lefties think like you do, the left loves Islam a hell of a lot more than the right does, open your eyes, and stop viewing the left-right divide as simply pro-religion and anti-religion, that is not what it is.

Wants to kill Americans to make people happy, even though far more people would be upset if they were killed. He doesn't care about making people happy, he just hates America, and is reaching for reasons to destroy it to make himself feel better.
