Yes it is an arguable fact that has overwhelmingly strong support.

No one said a transition from dictatorship to democracy would be clean and easy. It seems the longer the lifespan of a dictator government, the messier and harder the transition will be to democracy.

Word of advice: when contacting the tribunal to file a report, don't look happy.

Well for Trudeau anyway. Perhaps the left wing Canadian version of Mitt Romney?

I dunno, I find it amusing lol

Yes, read the source I provided. I don't see the purpose repeating the same thing 35 times with answers being provided for each of those 35 times.

As if she'll answer that...

I am a spiritual person in an unorthodox sort of way.

So you agree that the big bang occurred, what are you asking now?

That's actually a better phrase to used as opposed to 'happy holidays' which seems kinda cheap in my opinion.

If you've been paying attention to betsy's style of arguing you would know exactly what she's asking. She's asking if anyone observed how the big bang came from nothing. Her past argument is that science is based solely on observations and experiments, to suggest otherwise would be based on personal opinion - that is not true. So her question can be translated as 'how do we know?' to avoid her fallacy. I've given her information on how we know the phenomenon of the big bang, but of course - she refused to acknowledge the info. That's your interpretation of the question Betsy is asking; but, I'm suggesting that you're off the mark.

She was asking the wrong question, she wanted to know how we humans know about the phenomenon of the big bang. She asked by asking a fallacy that either 'yes' or 'no' answer would prove her point without addressing the point. The point, how we know about the big bang - because of physcis, not through actual observing of the big bang itself.

Trudeau announced that the gun registry an idea that never worked and was glad it died. Strangely enough, Trudeau fiercely defended the registry before it was culled by Harper. What makes this ironic is that Trudeau claims the Liberal party needs policies based on facts not ideologies. But police forces across Canada was pleading for the government not to dismantle the registry. Who do you think knows more about the efficiency of the gun registry, Justin or the police forces? So much for facts-based policies. In my opinion, Trudeau is becoming the Canadian version of Mitt Romney when it comes to taking position on issues.

Members of the genus Culex lol

Try reading the conclusion of the paper.

One must not dismiss a statement without saying why the said statement fails to hold up against the original statement.

lol I'm not against Christianity, don't kid yourself. I was raise as a christian, but lately (couple years ago) I've developed my own independent thinking on the concept of spirituality.

Rather small isn't it?

Interesting quote thanks! Is there a word you want me to greet people with?

Try saying why it doesn't address the question.

-Decorating a tree. -hanging up wreath and stockings. -having a great feast. -singing carols. -exchanging gifs. -family gathering. -Santa (Thor) and his reindeers (horses) -Santa's elves (Thor's elves). Am I supposed to?

how observant. That's fair. You failed to read the title of this thread, the title stated 'becoming redundant' not 'completely redundant' - try reading it carefully, and stop shouting betsy. I agree, I tend to join in the holidays celebration for that exact same purposes without getting all religious. But my initial statement was, has the purpose of christmas on the 25th become more redundant since jesus wasn't born on that date? Why not celebrate it when it may most likely be correct? April or May?

Stay on topic betsy.

Try looking up the term for scientific assumption. The bible is only 'very important' to the christians, no one else. I failed to see the point of your comment.
