    Trump

    I would as well. Just as an aside, it bothers me to no end that in order to qualify for subsidies, one has to sign up on the market place. I didn't want to do that because I didn't want to create a tax liability by not spending enough on the premiums. I'd rather overpay now, and look at my past...

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    "How could such a miscalculation about the effects of affirmative action occur? As University of California, Los Angeles, law professor Richard Sander and legal journalist Stuart Taylor, Jr., describe in their important, recently released book,Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It's...

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    Actually, it's arguably worse. Can you please explain to me how automatically reserving a 6th of the new positions in classes based solely on whether or not they can play sports benefits academy and scholarship? I'm still lost here on why it's totally okay to select students for scholarships on...

    Trump

    I feel your pain. I pay way too much in health insurance, and it basically feels like I've gotten absolutely no closure to even getting treatment. Dealing with medical issues may be the most bureaucratic thing I can imagine. So, I hope ACA is eventually replaced. But I prefer it indefinitely...

    Trump

    That's interesting, because during his presidency, I would be considered someone with a pre-existing condition, and thus, automatically disqualified from any health insurance, regardless of my ability to pay for insurance.

    I have deep hatred for Homosexuality & Lesbianism

    All fine with me, but I do regret to inform you that I do have deep rooted hatred for people who feel this way. Only some millions and millions of people.

    No Lions and Tigers were on Noah’s Ark

    Hmm, and I wonder if that kind has anything to do with with another feliform ancestor from 10 million years before then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudaelurus

    Right wing, Left wing

    I hope you informed your kid the nation isn't actually an avian creature. ;) I'm just joshin' ya.

    Should the Court Uphold UT’s Race-preferential Admission Policy?

    I've personally never come across a justification for why athletics is even a consideration for someone going to an institute of higher learning. And yet, it seems to be pretty acceptable to have quotas concerning athletics as the first and foremost factor in students admissions. Sure, except...

    Atheists: If there's no God, then where did the word "God" come from?

    The word "God" comes from the same place the word "centaur" comes from.

    Knowing what we can't know ...

    It was sort of hard to follow what exactly some of the concepts are, but I generally understood these things: "We knew about the possibility of problems that are undecidable in principle since the works of Turing and Gödel in the 1930s," added Co-author Professor Michael Wolf from Technical...

    Trump and Sanders should hop into bed together

    Either arrangement would be the very definition of disillusioniment. I'd sale all but me MIDI guitar and synthesizer, and leave America. I am voting for Sanders already. I don't need Trump muckin' things about.

    Trump and Sanders should hop into bed together

    That's basically the one way to guarantee that I wouldn't vote for Sanders.

    No Telescope, No Microscope

    You are saying you have had an atheist performed conception on this forum, or in general, before ever arriving at the forum?

    Commercial Exploitation of Outer Space

    Interesting stuff about the moon, being like fishing in international waters. Seems a bit strange to me. Base mining operations presumably would be fixed entities, not moving ones.

    Trump

    No reason to worry. The Donald is already on the way to splitting the entire party in half. Even if he won the nomination, he would lose. And even if he won, I'd leave the country and sell all my possessions to foreigners, and I would never pay another tax dollar again.

    No Telescope, No Microscope

    Must be a lot of work bending every single piece of new information to fit a preformed conception of the world. I guess the internal dissonance of there not being a God protecting us as individuals is far greater for some than the internal dissonance of harboring totally contradictory sets of...

    No Telescope, No Microscope

    Around 457,000,000 years apart. Pretty much the same time. Kind of like how the Jurassic Age and humankind happened at pretty much the same time. It wasn't meant to be scientific cheat sheet, or even scientifically correct, accurate, or reasonable. Despite the fact it is neither concise nor...

    No Telescope, No Microscope

    What? It doesn't say God distinguished between two great lights, it says he made them? Also, even if I was wrong about that, what you are saying is that the Bible doesn't state that God made by the Earth before he made the sun, which would be wrong. You are saying that the Bible states that Sun...

    If climate change folks want to be taken more seriously, stop making stupid #$@ articles like this.

    Yes. It was replaced with a series of claims from one with no accolades in climate science or meteorology nor any reference to any actual study, unless purposeful cherry-picked to reach a pre-determined conclusion. I don't know, how much are people making off of environmental profiteering? As...
