Yeah, I'm going to shit on this a bit.

First, you can't just start a conversation off by calling women stupid. Bad juju Girl I'm with more ain't that bright but she cooks, cleans, & tries hard in general... She's never had an abortion. Smartest girl I've ever been with (a RN as of 10 years ago) did have an abortion.

Without reading comments, I'd assume most opposition to your "plan" immediately stems from abolishing private practice. Uniform practice I think is a good thing.

While I think your head is in the right place re: schools, I also think it's only half thought out... I dated a chick that went to Bob Jones U... Kind of a real life version of footloose... Nobody wants that

I'm kind of bored on the details after that, but the flat figures kind of expose your lack of understanding of money. "$25k that's a lot!" Well I used to be able to buy gas for under a dollar and a mcburger was 15 cents

Well it's more of a debate than an argument at that point. Agree re: liberal branding

That's hilarious re: McDonald's, didn't know that & also not sure why it surprised me.

While I would intend to agree re: democracy v republic, it seems to be another branding misnomer to some degree. & It seems you're offering modern interpretations of those labels. I would more easily admit that the people considering themselves liberals just flat out aren't, though they share a key component: wanting change... Whereas conservatism wants consistency of the current paradigm.


I'll offer you an epiphany I had a few years back: all things can be broken down into 3 parts: foundation, medium, and change (in psychological or theological discussions I've found they substitute foundation for order and change for chaos while ignoring medium)... It always follows the same principles no matter where you find it. Kind of the "key" to it is that it has to be complete, e.g. time is complete- past, present, future would be the components. In all scenarios they share the same natures... Past/foundation is unified, does not tend to change, there's a certain rigidity to it. Future/change/chaos it's something that doesn't necessarily even exist... Like a hole... You can say surely there's a hole there, but you're talking about the absence of something. Is the difference between positive and negative. Kind of a pure view is that those are absolutes and all that exists are the medium merely polarized towards those absolutes. Anyway the gf is yelling at me and to avoid rambling, I'm going to stop. Is there was a friend feature on this site I would have added you. Thanks for the good conversation

Haven't been following closely

Can I get a sauce for the SCOTUS thing? Quick search only brought up a tangentially related rolling regarding Nixon

Well I don't really think knocking up the maid is a reflection of politics & with all the stupid shit going on financially in the cities it's hard to say for sure (without a bunch of research) how much he was responsible for the state's financial problems. My main point of reference is that progressives hated him... As far criticizing Trump, could just as easily be socially brain washed.

As far as the semantics about Republican/news/etc... I'm not even sure what Republican means anymore. Frankly Trump was more of an actual liberal than the Democrats are (I don't think you can be a liberal while opposing free speech) while simultaneously being more conservative than much of the Republicans. I think Trump is more accurately describes as an American patriot. Nationalist for sure.

P.S. I do love language and the nature of your retort.

Besides telling you about sales... What are cashier's going to do except not figure out why you gave them $10.25 for a $5.25 bill... Frankly I like the self check-out lanes, but the self-order stations I'm still avoiding

> is a Democrat

he was Republican as governor... Kind of was the bogeyman to progressives at the time

What's funny is that if she understood her little feminist pro-mateiarchy statement on her t-shirt she would understand something profound about the symbolism she is allegedly changing

Neither of those things are agreed upon. Various groups have varying levels of respect or contempt for liberty which is effectually freedom and not too dissimilar from right to life

Funny, because even before the book of Misses they described lands by who lived there... Almost as if they weren't nomadic at the time

One of the "da joos" guys... Yeah, that's not what a nomad is

> Diversity of race is one thing but diversity of core beliefs is another

Not really. Kind of a big red pill is realizing culture (and therefore core beliefs) stem from people. You can't transplant a foreign group of people into somewhere and expect the culture to remain the same.

I don't think you know what a nomad is & because of which are fundamentally missing the point of the question "who benefits"

Strictly speaking, I was actually talking about emission... But reflection is a suitable substitute for a layman... Lay persons? Lmao (might want to watch out on the neutered language, it has been at the forefront of psychological warfare against us)

Back to the point, though, the current prediction isn't warming. As a paeudo-proof of that (assuming your disbelief) is that the language has changed from global warming to climate change.


It seems you're arguing in good faith, so I'll give you some pointers: you aren't going to convince many people in this community on the merits of the science... Many of us used to come from a similar mindset to what you have now.

What you have to overcome in the arguments are more or less as follows, in no particular order:

  • why were the previous predictions wrong & because of which why should we trust the same groups new prediction

  • why do the policy proposals to combat said predictions have the opposite effect of what they claim? (E.g.: decimating local business in favor of global business... See shipping freighter pollution & pollution contribution by country)

  • why are the people pushing the narrative always massive hypocrites? (E.g.: claiming receding oceanfront then buying oceanfront property)

Seems there's some nuance you're missing as well. Are you aware why it is said atmospheric co2 would increase temps? Is because it reflects light. The original hypothesis was that the net effect would be to cool the temperature before they changed their hypothesis to warming (the assumption being that whatever light made it down to earth would then get trapped)

Now: as both hypotheses have been wrong, they're predicting change... Not warming. There isn't an experiment they run for this, it's all conjecture. So, no, it isn't "a result from physics"

I'm 99% sure the math on that derivative calculation doesn't check out

I'm not the person you responded to. Just saying opinion and knowledge are two different things. You're asking about knowledge when they're offering an opinion

About the only one I've ever heard about worth mentioning is Mansa Musa... Potentially the wealthiest person to have ever lived, bankrupted Egypt on a pilgrimage to Mecca & paid out the ass for some famous architects to build him a temple... It was made of mud.

I go out of my way often to check into history and whatnot, I assume their cultures didn't put a lot of effort into recording things

Didn't SCOTUS rule that POUTIS can't revoke previous EOs when Trump tried doing it with one of Obama's?

That's not really his interpretation per se, at least what you're pointing out are common contemplations I've run across in discussions

The difference between an atheist and anti-theist is that anti-theists believe theism to be harmful to society. Many atheists recognize a benefit to religion... But yeah, most atheists tend to be anti-theist IME

Supposedly there was also some back room dealing after Bush won Florida that prevented contesting the presidential election until recently
