    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    "Saudi interests" That's rather vague and unspecified. Like what interests? Peace in the Middle East? LoL. And? Do you understand that under the Trump adminstration, the Crown Prince took responsiblity for the death of the journalist, gave generously to his relatives as compensation on...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Actually, we don't know that. There is no direct evidence, only strong suspicion that he gave the order based on the relationship of the perpetrators to the Crown Prince and lots of media coverage strongly implying or outright stating that he did it or must have done it. News stories accusing...

    Did You Choose Your Truth?

    If we're talking about a "world view", then it is the accumulation of many choices rather than the outcome of a single choice. Posit: These subjective assumptions and perceptions of reality are malleable interdependent affirmations, which arise to a state of coherence by surpassing a threshold...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Okay. I'm unclear what you are trying to argue by quoting an article where Trump's advisors (Mike Pompeo and James Mattis) both said there wasn't sufficient evidence to accuse the Crown Prince. Sure, the CIA suspected the Crown Prince was involved, but the CIA didn't have evidence that proved...

    Psychology explains why the Israeli–Palestinian conflict is so intractable

    I agree. I would go so far as to say that it's not enough that both sides "want peace" as long as both sides have things that they value more than peace. Each side might say something like, "I want peace, but..." But what? But there is something else that's more important to them than peace.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    It's on you to make a complete argument... some people stayed at a hotel... wow. If you still don't get it, then that's on you. It seems you've lost track of the thread (oops!) as I responded to: with in the context of you trying to say that Trump was beholden to foreign powers. What do...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Yeah...of course I try not to claim things absolutely, because I try to be open to possibilities as opposed to closed to them. However, I read your link and didn't see any support for your insinuation. So... with a straight face, I easily say that what you've claimed looks like more baseless...

    Do you Think we have Free Will

    I reject the definition for free will provided by @leroy and I explained why. It's unfortunate that you didn't contribute meaningfully to the discussion and there is no need for me to respond further.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Hmm. There is nothing in this "trade war" that is relevant to the contract the Chinese company received. How am I not surprised. I'm just looking for you to complete your argument, which is to say: stating what Trump was paid to do. :ear: Ah, that one went over your head? Some people made a...

    Do you Think we have Free Will

    Isn't that debate about the compatibilism of free will with determinism rather than the definition of free will? If there is a specific point you are trying to make, please feel free to make it. Coercion is the question at issue when determining if will is free. Hard determinism is the...

    US and UK carry out airstrikes against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen

    I'm not a fan of the U.S. going to war in Yemen without the explicit approval of Congress, which Biden did not bother to obtain and which the War Powers Act requires he obtain.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    FYI: the number of border crossings since Biden was inaugurated is over 10 million. And the number of border crossings under Biden is more than 3 times what it was under Trump. As for treatment of the migrants, you may be unaware of the human trafficking, and abuse of migrant children under the...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    As I've pointed out, Trump lost money as opposed to gaining money. What "trade-war" exactly are you talking about and how is it at all relevant to this? So what? Did their staying at the hotel actually affect the merger they wanted? Is there any substance to the argument? The commissioner...

    Do you Think we have Free Will

    You shouldn't have used the words "Free Will" in your poll when your intent was to ask about something other than Free Will. It just confused the issue for everyone trying to give an answer. The "Free" in "Free Will" means free from coercion as opposed to refering to free from all supposed...

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    Just to pick the first of those topics (it receives a lot of attention): the Open Borders problem. Trump is very clearly the candidate who would solve the open borders problem.

    Trump 2024. Why or why not.

    The "golf course" in question are actually in a place that your articles claimed Trump made money. Business Insider: CREW: Politico: Global News: None of these statements is sufficient to your claim that Trump made money from foreign powers, and you seem very intent on claiming he is thus...

    Ohio Governor's Transgender Decision

    Considering that Ohio House Bill 68 makes exceptions for people who actually do need gender affirming care under Section 1 Sec. 3129.04, and considering that Section 2 declares the findings and declarations supporting the legislation (including statements about the conclusions of scientific...

    Why do people make children?

    If we are talking about different things, then the argument I made to begin with is not "exactly the sort of rationale that turns children into objects that are owned by their parents" (where you define objects as "objects that don't achieve anything, the people that make use of them do though").
