Asserting god is easily refuted by asserting anything else, or nothing at all. No exceptions?

But it is! Everything we believe are beliefs! It’s simple English! That’s not what I asked at all. Is there anything else that you believe based on an philisophical argument?

Would you abandon your mom to die alone if she chose MAID? I answered your attempted “gotcha” question about my mom…. why are you avoiding it? Or you change the topic to what you would choose for your mom, which isn’t the question.

Where did you get this saying? Everything we believe is a belief! My challenge was to name something besides God that you believe because of an argument, like Aquinas’ proofs, and not based on empirical evidence?

I’m not inflexible. Amend it.

Why would one be dependent on the other? Unverified ballots aren’t counted. Do you even know how mail in ballots work? Or are you repeating talking points from losing politicians?

Thats what you would choose…. I asked about your momma. You don’t get to choose for others. If your mother chose MAID would you abandon her to die alone? Hold a crucifix to her face and berate her for choosing how she was going to die?

Are you really in a position to judge someone’s pain and judge their palliative treatment? If you think you are in that kind of position, you’re simply an awful human being. My mother would choose for herself. I would be there to hold her hand as she floated away to heaven. Would you abandon your own mother, or berate her on her death bed, if she chose MAID?

That’s not the goal. Try not to get caught up in “slippery slope” arguments that don’t happen.

You’re using a bunch of examples that simply aren’t happening. Let’s just deal with reality, ok?

I’m sorry your brother went through that. Your post is a good reminder that we’re posting about humans who are truly suffering and want to have options to end their own suffering if it becomes unbearable for them. For anyone to tell someone they have to suffer is inhumane.

Don’t care about the globe. Canada is my concern. We can set the example for others Your conservative compatriots told me in previous posts that maybe Canada used to be racist, but it’s not (or maybe much less) racist now So, I guess if that’s the case, the “leftist way” seems to be working. There’s no racists in the military?

Are people choosing assisted death, or is the government forcing this on people? Why can’t I choose to die if I have terminal cancer?

I’ve never heard a cogent argument as to why it shouldn’t be easier to vote. Did you like the fact that Elections Canada goes to hospitals to assist people in voting?

Absolutely right. Truckers won’t be able to block city streets any longer. When is the last time you heard of mass protests in Canada by environmental activists?

Unfortunately, I didn’t make the world we live in. The only solution to all those things you mentioned is to kill myself. You’ve told me that’s a sin, so here I am…. stuck trying to get governments to change the world for the better. Should cigarette companies be allowed to tell you that smoking is good for you? Is that free speech?

Aren’t they building LNG in BC?

We have these things called courts that determine matters of law. Should cigarette companies be allowed to tell you that smoking is good for you?

I like laws against disinformation by large corporations. I would call it the “Be Honest or Shut the Fuc# up” bill.

Have you ever heard of voting by mail in the USA? Even I have and I don’t live there. “Getting to the polls” isn’t the only way to vote.

If only there were more people like you in the past. Unfortunately, there weren’t and now the cure is almost as bad as the illness.

Neither did the women and visible minorities who were passed over for white males. Bogeyman. You’ll have no problem finding employment. Lots of white guys have jobs.

If he doesn’t win, he will be in jail for quite some time. If he wins, there will be a new constitutional crisis when he fires the guy prosecuting him and then pardons himself. Whether he wins or not is still 50/50, imo.

I think most people would acknowledge that systemic racism has played a part in it, even your fellow conservative poster a few posts above. Those who don’t are denying reality, in my opinion, like climate change deniers, flat earthers, etc.

It means what I said, not any of the extreme examples you listed.
