  1. Wow, it's like you don't even care to read what I say and respond honestly. I gave you an example of how I let information dictate my decision-making instead of politics. Let me guess: you listened to Dr. Fauci, the WHO, and all the "experts" when they told you that you didn't need a mask, and then the next day when they said you needed one and told you to fold up a T-Shrit to wear that over your face, you thought wearing a piece of cloth over your face would save you? Nowhere have I said anything here to indicate I put politics first. Did you spend all night trying to find the one source you could that was narrow enough to fit your use? "Tip: There are two easy ways to avoid committing appeal to authority: First, make sure that the authorities you cite are experts on the subject you’re discussing. Second, rather than just saying “Dr. Authority believes X, so we should believe it, too,” try to explain the reasoning or evidence that the authority used to arrive at their opinion. That way, your readers have more to go on than a person’s reputation. It also helps to choose authorities who are perceived as fairly neutral or reasonable, rather than people who will be perceived as biased." https://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/fallacies/ Based on how you have run away from several bad arguments you have pushed in other threads... especially the one where you tried to act like you had some moral high ground on "basic courtesy" when you offer none yourself, just as you continue to do here.... you have no room to talk about being decent.
  2. Or, folks like you need to listen to what he said if you will comment on it or be more honest. I wonder if you can even define what a woman is in any meaningful way. LOL
  3. First, they will NEVER get back all the land they want. At best they want to go back to pre-1948 war borders. Ain't happening. It is a non-starter. Second, for most of them, all the land they want includes all of Israel... Hence the chants from the river to the sea... Until the Palestinians can set more realistic expectations and stop trying to kill Israelis, there will be no end to the "occupation"
  4. I see you are still at it! Once again, you can "take care of your kid" without showering with them to the point they are writing about how it is probably inappropriate in their diary.
  5. The last time I looked at the stats, in places with concealed carry licenses, up to 3% of the adult population got a license. Of those who have a license, even fewer carry a weapon regularly. Not sure if that changed much with constitutional carry.
  6. Come on Texas. How did no one have a gun on them and take him down when he came back with a knife?
  7. Well, since you didn't bother with my response to your silly game last time, here you go again: Mine is not an argument against all experts or their expertise. I am not here saying to ignore them all in everything, so your mockery about ignoring warnings is as misplaced as your fallacious reasoning with the illogical appeal to authority. First, You must be interested in engaging honestly if you want to get to intelligently.
  8. It is funny how hard you are trying to play this off. A parent can bathe their child. They are usually not naked in the tub with them, and they are usually not naked with them when they are old enough to have a diary and be self-aware enough to question how appropriate it is. If your kid is old enough to wonder if your showers with them are appropriate, they are not. This is an easy thing to admit. It's sad that you feel the need to defend it. I have run out of giving likes for today. LOL I would have liked this.
  9. So, do you think it is cringe that Trump said that or do you think it was totally cool since you have no problems with Biden showing with his daughter to the point she felt it was probably inappropriate?
  10. LOL, so now you are here defending Biden showering with his daughter to the point she wrote about it in her diary, questioning how appropriate it is? Yes, this is solid ground to "attack" Biden over.
  11. Way to completely ignore any part of the subject of this thread and get a dumb jab in at Trump...
  12. Sufficiently understand? That is subjective and meaningless. Sufficiently understand what exactly? See, you are still playing this argument from the authority game. No, I do not have to be an expert in all things climate science to have a well-educated, articulate, and well-thought-out position on the subject. Just like I don't have to be an expert at the mines where they get the graphite for a pencil, the forest where they harvest the lumber, the mills where they prepare the lumber, the paint, and the rubber etc... to be able to use a pencil and understand how it functions. This is the game you folks play. Perhaps it is because you know that you cannot hold down an intelligent conversation here, so all you can do is say buzzwords like "consensus!" because you have not put more thought into it than that. Guess what, I have. Mine is not an argument against all experts or their expertise. I am not here saying to ignore them all in everything, so your mockery about ignoring warnings is as misplaced as your fallacious reasoning with the illogical appeal to authority. I am the guy who would be questioning why precisely the "experts" want to give my wife a lobotomy. You are the guy who would shrug your shoulders, no questions asked, and go along with it because they are the experts, hell, even won a Nobel Prize!
  13. This is precisely why this whole push is a ruse to ban semi-automatic weapons.
  14. 1948... what was the dispossession, oppression and subjugation on the Palestinians by Israeli's? Feel free to actually respond to my comment, which I have posted twice now for you, in regards to your put yourself in their shoes comment. Reminder: Aliens vs Space Marines.
  15. I was never confused about anything here. You are acting as if you can't understand my comments, which never had anything to do with some technicality between literally saying kitchen or homemaker... Yes, he is praising his wife. Back to the point: Nowhere is he telling women to stay in the kitchen. Are you through playing dumb?
  16. OMG The issue isn't the technicality of kitchen vs homemaker, for crying out loud, man. He was not telling women to stay there. He was praising his wife, her decisions, and her contributions to his success in life.
  17. I understand just fine. He is praising his wife for her contributions to their family and his success. Nowhere did he tell women to get back into the kitchen. The issue is not my intelligence here, it is your dishonesty.
  18. I went back to look at how this thread started, and your post was the most relevant and first... that went unanswered. Imagine that. Like the claims of genocide, those who claim war crimes are never quite able to support their assertions and explain themselves.
  19. You have certainly made it that way. I was just fine shredding your crappy takes on Isreal and Hamas in this thread. You took us down this road.
  20. So... where does he tell women to stay in the kitchen? Seriously, this thread title is a lie. This article is trash and little more than a troll job.
  21. Seems more like some projection on your part here.
  22. The science is clear.... on what? The science is only clear in as much as there is measured warming and humans contribute some part to that.
  23. Perhaps. Perhaps a sustained campaign will impact their operations enough to cause a constant state of disarray during leadership changes... A bunch of dead drug cartel leaders certainly isn't a bad thing. Worth a try!
  24. Interesting. Snopes changed its rating on this claim after Ashley Biden's testimony. If you do not recall, she questioned if she was molested and said she took showers with her dad (Biden) that were probably not appropriate. Claim: A diary authored by U.S. President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, describes actions taken toward her by her father when she was a child as "probably not appropriate." Rating: True https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ashley-biden-diary-claims/
  25. Because nothing Israel is doing supports your assertion. No, there was peace with Hamas prior to October 7th. This has been going on since 1948. The Palestinians have NEVER been willing to accept Israel. This isn't genocide. Try again. No, you don't get to pretend like there is some moral parity going on here. You said you did not endorse what happened on the 7th... but now you down play it and try to equalize it. So, which is it? Again, Hamas started this current conflict with October 7th. Of course Israel is not going to agree to leave Hamas in charge after what they did. You claim to not "endorse" what Hamas did, and here you are acting like it was no big deal.
