It absolutely still makes our culture superior. In the middle east, the negative effects of the cultural clash are not perpetuated by those ascribing to Western culture.

No it really doesn’t. Our culture is better for those with similar priorities.

Western priorities are superior.

Wait a minute. @DGF swore that Trump didn’t care about the Great Lakes, or the ecology in general. He said it was a fact. So how can this be? Is DGF the Schiff of this board?

This is a perfect example of the fake news and how people see what they want and run with it without verifying if it’s true or not.

Good old Southern racism, segregation and censorship.

But unlike Adam we want him to stick around. I mean if all our Trump hating friends left who would we serve all this crow too. Btw, how long does crow keep, and can you freeze it? Asking cuz not sure when they’re all coming back.

This can’t be. There is no such thing as reverse racism. My friends on this board have told me so. Must be fake news... oh wait, no such thing either. Well damn.. im confused

1- There is a ton of evidence to refute man-made climate change. Google it. Give me some specifics that you are referring to if you want to have an intelligent discussion.

2- See number 1. The evidence you claim has been refuted many times and the results have been proven wrong EVERY time.

3- You believe late term abortion is wrong. Others believe first term abortion is wrong. Why do you believe late term abortion is wrong? If you believe it is wrong because it is a human being, there is no difference in our positions except for when a human life begins. Explain how it is a straw man argument when I asked a simple question. Is it ok to fight against what you view as murder?

4- You weren’t talking about medical marijuana. You were referring to recreational use. As for being less harmful than alcohol, that is debatable as well. Using the idea of legalization as a money-maker is not a relevant argument. Either recreational use is good because it is good or it isn’t. Do you not see any draw backs of recreational legalization? BTW, I am not against legalization but understand how some are.

5- WTF? How did you bring up animal extinction? Wouldn’t fewer causes of CO2 be a good thing for you environmentalists? Honestly, who cares if animals go extinct? To use your words, how does that affect you?

1) for every single piece of "evidence" refuting climate change there are probably 100 or more pieces of evidence scientifically proving its existence. For every Bjork (thats like the only science guy denying climate change I've ever seen. Also Bjork basically = Krugman.. partisan hacks) there are 100 or more other scientists proving its existence.

2) you can live in a hole if you want to... that is your prerogative.

3) it is a strawman argument by the very definition.

4) I'm talking all marijuana. Not really debatable whether it is less harmful than alcohol since there is a ton of data, which i guess you ignore, stating that stance. Of course there will be some drawbacks but I think the positive will outweigh the negative pretty heftily.

5) I dont know, I guess for me it would be a really disheartening idea to have my kid grow up in a world where tigers, rhinos, other big cats are a phantasm. If you think the world is better off without these animals that is truly an evil take that goes against your holier than thou mantra

Sin- an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.

That is the actual definition of sin. The two predominate religions (divine law) on Earth both believe that homosexuality is an immoral act. I believe your statement was just proven ignorant.

Gay marriage is a joke. Marriage, since the beginning of time, has been a religious ceremony. The government should not be involved in marriage in any way...they should be involved in contract law which is the issue. BTW, most of the GOP doesn’t care about this topic.

Actually, hate speech is absolutely protected. Hate speech in the United States is not regulated, in contrast to that of most other liberal democracies. The U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that hate speech is legally protected free speech under the First Amendment.

You are really bad at this. Facts are not on your side.

so we can give Muslims a ton of shit for living in the stoneage and failing to progress with the modern world but christianity is off limits?

Christianity progressing is why we live in brownstones and people in the middle east live in mud huts.

You are pretty much a hypocrite of every single stance you take with this single post

 

[Skins2021]

You completely miss the entire point. If the government can infringe on the RIGHTS of one, then they can infringe on the RIGHTS of you. Your arguments are pathetically ignorant.

so whats your take on the patriot act then?

 

[Skins2021]

This can’t be. There is no such thing as reverse racism. My friends on this board have told me so. Must be fake news... oh wait, no such thing either. Well damn.. im confused

reverse racism is going to be the biggest social problem this country faces over the next 10 years and we can thank Obama for normalizing it

Am i doing this right?

(though tongue in cheek i actually do kinda believe my original statement to an extent)

 

[Skins2021]

No it really doesn’t. Our culture is better for those with similar priorities.

wait.... dont you criticize black culture incessantly on here and blame their plight pretty much strictly on culture?

you are really really inconsistent with your arguments.

Nope...I do not criticize black culture incessantly. I criticize aspects of the culture for the problems of a group of people as a whole. My arguments are extremely consistent and are based on facts.

 

[gkekoa]

so whats your take on the patriot act then?

I can’t stand the Patriot Act. It is an over reach of power that infringes on 5e RIGHTS of individual Americans. If elected POTUS, my first act would be to get rid of the Patriot Act because it would give me too much power.

Wow...can you be less coherent in your responses? So where am I being hypocritical? This will be fun.

BTW...this had nothing to do with your original argument about the word sin. I showed you the definition to prove you very wrong...as usual.

1- Actually, you can’t. You can show me hindreds of different reports with the same information. All that information has led to the wrong prognostications for decades. As for you criticizing scientists, let me ask, if government grants are given consistently to these scientists with the hope and expectation of those scientists to come up with the same conclusion, and if they reach that conclusion, they continue to get the grants in larger sums, wouldn’t that actually lead to scientific bias?

2- Great response of nothing to say.

3- It isn’t a straw man at all. You really need to understand the definition of words. The statement I made was some believe third term is wrong while others believe any term is wrong...this is a truth statement. I then asked you a couple of questions that you refuse to answer because your answer will destroy your own argument.

4- Actually, it is extremely debatable considering marijuana is known to shrink the brain. You claim it will do more good than bad, and I would agree if we adjusted other laws and public aid to adjust to what is coming...which would be a higher rate of workplace accidents, leading to longer hospital stays, more law suits, and negative health affects later in life. If you smoke weed, you got no public assistance at all and if you have illnesses related to weed later in life you get no Medicare.

5- A phantasm is a figment of the imagination; an illusion or apparition. I think you are trying to hard to sound intelligent because you continually use the wrong words. When did I say the world would be better off without these animals. This is a logical position for you climate change pushers. With fewer animals, wouldn’t there be less CO2?

In what way am I holier than thou? Show me something I have said that leads you to that opinion. Also, how does extinction of a species of animal relate to evil?

BTW...you are horrible at this thing called debating.

Its the weekend... starting now. I'll comment further on this insanely stupid rebuttal on Monday, if I feel like it or have the time.

I really dont think you know what a straw man argument is nor do you know what phantasm means... i mean the definition you provided is word for word when you google the singular word LOL.

BTW it was used correctly...

You also have no idea what a straw man argument is. You compared an egg 3 weeks post conception to a 3 year old when inarticulately attempting to draw some sort of comparison to abortion and moving the goal posts.
