    86% of Americans Say Biden Is To Old To Be President

    Having age limits on a job that requires a significant amount of energy and cognitive capacity is not "discrimination," it's just common sense. I assume you don't think children should be allowed to be president, correct? Does that make you an ageist? You're already advocating for discrimination...

    86% of Americans Say Biden Is To Old To Be President

    I agree that there should be other qualifications for being president in theory, but that's where things get difficult. Who sets those qualifications--are they voted on or does a single person or group of people decide them? If they are voted on, do they change whenever public opinion changes...

    "Florida school asks parents for permission to have book by an African American author read to students"

    It didn't rile me up, it just seemed to imply that the permission slip was sent because the guest speaker was African American when that's not actually the case. It seems to me like this was an isolated case of a poorly written letter to parents.

    86% of Americans Say Biden Is To Old To Be President

    Trump is only three and a half years younger than Biden so if Biden is too old, then Trump is as well. But I definitely agree there should be a maximum age to be president. There is a minimum wage which is too high imo, do people really think all 34 year olds are unqualified to be president but...

    "Florida school asks parents for permission to have book by an African American author read to students"

    I agree that permission slips shouldn't have been needed for this, and the note written was extremely poorly worded and possibly racist, but I hope you actually read the article and understand that the permission was not asked because the guest was African American--the same policy exists for...

    Will Putin invade Poland if Trump is elected?

    I think it's unlikely, but I do think it's certainly possible. I think we are closer to World War 3 than we have been at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis. I try not to worry about it too much though. I will vote against Trump and express my concern about the issue but that's all I can...

    Are Believers Delusional?

    Take it from me as someone who spent the vast majority of my life obsessed with finding certainty in everything--unless you can lie to yourself, you will never achieve it and trying to will only lead to misery and suffering and a waste of precious life. If you can lie to yourself then by all...

    "Trump says he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies"

    Even though Trump has said so many outrageous and horrible things, he still never fails to surprise me with his new levels of insanity and dangerous rhetoric every day. That said, does any NATO country actually not pay their dues to NATO? I highly doubt that story he told is true, especially...

    Are Believers Delusional?

    I'm frightened by uncertainty too but my point is that obsessing over it and trying to get certainty when you can't have it and performing compulsive rituals only makes it worse in the long run. That is my opinion anyway. And I don't think you need certainty that mankind will live in peace and...

    Were you high when you wrote this nonsensical gibberish?

    Are Believers Delusional?

    I wasn't pathologizing--notice I made the disclaimer that I am not a mental health professional and that I was hypothesizing, not pathologizing or making any definitive claim on reality. Ultimately, all mental health disorders are based on subjective, humanmade criteria anyway, and diagnoses are...

    Are Believers Delusional?

    Is it really good for us though? Why can we not keep moving and advancing and just learn to accept the fact that we can't know almost anything? I spent a lot of my life looking for certainty and trying to "know" things that I couldn't know and it was a complete waste, it's almost like an...

    Are Believers Delusional?

    I agree. Although I'm not a mental health professional, I hypothesize that the need for certainty and unshakeable faith in religious beliefs and any other beliefs is actually a form of obsessive compulsive disorder, since most if not all OCD obsessions and rituals are based on a need for...

    Are atheists arrogant? immoral? angry?

    #3 and #4 are ridiculous stereotypes. The first and second can be true for some atheists but that also does not mean that they are wrong. In general though, I view any type of position held with certainty, as well as the need for certainty, as a mental illness (likely falling under the same...

    Is the end near for Trump?

    Lol, you did respond again, I knew you would :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:. I have no idea what you mean by this and it sounds like complete gibberish, but I want to thank you sincerely for giving me a good laugh, I really needed this entertainment right now.

    Is the end near for Trump?

    The fact that you chose to respond to me shows that you very much do care what I think, and I'm betting that you won't be able to resist responding to me again. But it's okay. Purposely being an anonymous argumentative contrarian online to inflate your own ego can be a fun thing to do when...

    Is the end near for Trump?

    Lol, you sound a little bit too full of yourself bud. I also find it pretty funny that you took the time to describe your election day plans on an online forum. I hate to burst your bubble but no one cares. :)
