    Does an Atheist Know God?

    The context of this bible verse was in the opposite direction. The bible verse was talking about people who do not know compassion andl ove for their fellow human beings are not someone who would know the all loving god. Not that atheists don't know love.

    The Problem of Misinformation

    There is a significant difference between a journalist that puts themselves into their work (bias on the personal) and a whole news organization who is owned and intentionally run as a machine to propagate a specific political party with the intent and purpose of molding a portion of the...

    Should a business be allowed to not serve someone because they voted for someone they don't like?

    Oh yeah. I can move **** with my mind. I also have a handy dandy ability to understand contextual English. The ability to move stuff with my mind doesn't really help me out with understanding why the tagline of the video is different than the in context message. The latter ability, while not...

    Should a business be allowed to not serve someone because they voted for someone they don't like?

    There is no wait and see for the context of his comments in the video. It is clear. What laws and regulations he passes reguarding the LGBTQ community is still in the air.

    Why is the hope of Michelle Obama so fragile and fleeting?

    Bit of a strawman here if we are honest. She isn't stating she has no hope in her life at all. She is saying she has no hope of Trump doing any "good" for America in the next 4 years. TBH I lost all hope of this being a good year soon as Hillary won the primary and then didn't apoint Bernie as...

    Once again no comment from Obama as an Egyptian church is bombed at Christmas... why so minimal?

    Obama has killed more Muslims than every other president before him combined. He isn't neutral at all but he definitly isn't on the Muslim's side.

    Should a business be allowed to not serve someone because they voted for someone they don't like?

    True. People need to read more than the headline.

    The Problem of Misinformation

    I think there has been a broad problem with many "liberals" over the last few years. Not necessarily that its just a holier than thou but that there has been less interest in engauging in debates. There is an already settled and established line that certain moral truths are totally correct and...

    Should a business be allowed to not serve someone because they voted for someone they don't like?

    No...the context of this quote is objectively anti-muslim rather than pro-LGBTQ. The only good thing about Trump no the LGBTQ front is that he hasn't ever actually given a damn one way or the other. For the most part I think that he has only said things against marriage equality to get the...

    Should a business be allowed to not serve someone because they voted for someone they don't like?

    Nope. Shouldn't anyway. You shoud not be able to discriminate against people. You can discriminate against what you produce though. Goes back the cake thing. I can refuse to make a cake that states "KKK for life" but I cannot refuse a normal cake to a KKK member.

    The Problem of Misinformation

    Oh yeah I agree. That was the point I was making earlier. There are no major news stations that are unbiased or even mostly unbiased. Not all are specifically geared towards a specific political party however. The two main offenders of that are Fox and MSNBC. CNN, ABC ect all have some kind of...

    The Problem of Misinformation

    Not necessarily. I think their journalistic news programs, while not innacruate, are biased in both the stance they take and the choice of stories put out in the news. Now to what degree of bias is implemented at any given point in time is varied from slight ot extreme on case by case basis.

Also irrelevant funfact 21st cenetury fox owns 20th century fox, Blue sky's stuidio, Fox stuidio's Australia, Fox news group which has two major divisions ( Fox News Channel which...

    The Problem of Misinformation

    Good for you. Hopefully you fact check what you hear and hopefully have multiple news outlets to at least attempt to offset the bias. Good day sir.

    Obama Quietly Signs The "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act" Into Law

    The problem is that the bill is very vague. I don't know by what mechanisms they would subert oppositions and by what discresion they would use to determine when action is to be taken. I don't know as of yet if this is a bad or good move by the president. It may be in direct response to the...

    US Flat Tax Rate

    I personally am of the opinion that taxes also need to be used to adjust the market. I think that there shouldn't be a cap to the increase of % of income needed to pay taxes depending on income. I think that we can lower the taxes we have currently but only if we get rid of most of the harmful...

    The Problem of Misinformation

    I don't see how anyone can take any for-profit news organizations seriously. Especially so when there is no legal obligation to tell the truth and no economic pressure to tell the truth. News ratings run on political bias and flash titles. Its not that every single thing said it false. Of course...

    Obama Quietly Signs The "Countering Disinformation And Propaganda Act" Into Law

    After reading it it seems that it is mostly directed at Russia but also China. It is giving budget money to counter-propaganda operations that deals with attempting to subervert intentinoal foreign propaganda from usurping American interests at home and abroad. Kind of like how N. Korea has...

    The Problem of Misinformation

    I'm talking about the network. Their news is biased sure. But they seamlessly transition their "opinion" shows in with the news in the same format to give it the illusion of news. They are winning on all three fronts. Their actual news is the most biased of all the "actual non opinionated news"...
