    Is There A Right Side In Politics?

    It depends on the election. Sometimes there is no wrong side to vote for, sometimes there is no right side to vote for, sometimes there are more than two sides. To have a wrong side, you need to have a side that is immoral or unethical. For example, if you have a candidate that takes actions...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    You don't care about compensation for Khashoggi's family. You don't care about trials for the murderers. Your hatred of the Crown Prince is really a facade hiding your TDS. Wait, so you do still blame Trump for the trial that happened under the Biden administration granting the Crown Prince...

    NATO chief says Donald Trump puts US troops, allies at risk by saying Russia can 'do whatever the hell they want' with them

    If someone can't make a payment one year - not a big deal. Two years? Three years? Ten years? At some point, it becomes a big deal. Because it not okay to gain all the benefits of a mutual defense treaty without, yourself, contributing. It's you who are asking the others in the treaty to die...

    NATO chief says Donald Trump puts US troops, allies at risk by saying Russia can 'do whatever the hell they want' with them

    With Russian economy far from collapse, U.S. opts for tougher punishment How Russia has avoided bankrupting itself after 2 years of waging war in Ukraine The West tried to crush Russia’s economy. Why hasn’t it worked? Is there any legitimate news outlet that doesn't report how the Russian...

    The North Star - Meaning

    I agree that knowing which way is "North" doesn't guarantee that you avoid trouble.

    Self-immolation as a protest against what is going on in Gaza

    When acts such as this do not command my utter contempt for the people peforming them, I can at best muster pity for such a pitiful inexcusable act of self-destruction.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    There are two important facts here: 1. There is overwhelming evidence of who murdered Khashoggi and how. 2. There is no evidence that the Crown Prince ordered the murder. When you say you know he did it, you are not being honest about the facts. But even so, what do you want? What is justice...

    NATO chief says Donald Trump puts US troops, allies at risk by saying Russia can 'do whatever the hell they want' with them

    The context you've ignored is the fundamental nature of the alliance which is NATO in which all should contribute to the benefit of all. That's exactly it. That didn't happen though. The one clause has not been isolated and torn up all by itself. Rather the question was, essentially, what if...

    The North Star - Meaning

    The gate is narrow because of the difficulty in passing through it. The other gate is the one that is wide and easy. For example, before a heavily burdened camel passes through a (narrow) gate into Jerusalem, it unloads its material goods.

    The North Star - Meaning

    The North Star is what allows a person to distinguish one direction from another direction. Without a North Star, no matter what direction you go in, you don't know what direction you are going in. But in the presence of the North Star, you can actually see what direction you are going in, no...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    That sounds a lot like a 'no' to me. Being so terrible at diplomacy might be a contributing factor to why so many wars started during their administrations. Yeah, I don't have a problem with this. People tend not to be all good or all bad. And it would be a good thing if all the world's...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    You can show yourself out. You utterly failed to offer any practical alternative, regardless of whether or not you believe the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Proof that the Crown Prince was involved has also failed to surface - an essential part of any proposed trial or punishment of the Crown...

    NATO chief says Donald Trump puts US troops, allies at risk by saying Russia can 'do whatever the hell they want' with them

    I rest my case. We all know there are members who haven't contributed what they should have. Ignoring context is what makes your argument a strawman. Read harder. Being a member of an alliance and not contributing is irresponsible. Keep in mind that being in NATO means that if your country...

    Putin prefers Biden

    I think it's the most generic world leader answer to say that you like whoever happens to currently hold office best and would have no problem working with whoever else is likely to be elected.

    The two types of Zero

    This is a great realization for you to have: that there are different ways of thinking about nothing or void or null or zero. Some more thoughts and tell me what you think of these... a system of equations with no solution. This is a form of nothing that is not zero. In fact, 0 could be the...

    What is 'Real'?

    Is 'real' definable? Or is it axiomatic? When something is so fundamental that it can't be defined, then we have to simply say that it is what it is. You either know what it is or you don't. In our common usage, we distinguish what is real from what is not real. In other words, what is real...

    What's your take on suffering and pain?

    I would say that, in general, the ability to feel pain is important to have. People who cannot feel pain may unwittingly injure themselves in terrible ways. For example, if there is a hot pan on a stove top, and someone who does not feel pain grabs it, he may easily not realize that he has...

    NATO chief says Donald Trump puts US troops, allies at risk by saying Russia can 'do whatever the hell they want' with them

    Wait... are people seriously arguing that when a NATO ally other than the U.S. decides not to contribute to the defense of NATO, then it is the U.S. that is putting NATO at risk? #unhinged

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    You didn't show he violated the Emoluments Clause. You suggested it and then stopped short of anything substantial. This statement by District Judge Lewis Kaplan that Trump "raped" her is irresponsible and raises further questions about the fairness of the trial. The link you posted includes...
