    No need to hate

    I think hate is an emotion that we can feel without acting upon it. So yes, I agree we should show compassion and not act upon our hate. But not sure I’d condemn hate in itself. What are your thoughts on contempt? Can we show contempt for a specific belief? How do you express profound disgust...

    No need to hate

    Not really sure how you separate the two. Beliefs are informed by and inform our personality, which is a core aspect of who we are as a person.

    Cutting Off the Offensive

    Causing Offense in and of itself isn’t bad. Consider this: You (maybe) believe that causing offense should make someone abandon their belief. Your belief offends me because I believe that my beliefs are required by god regardless of whether they offend someone. Should you now abandon your...

    Once saved always saved

    It might be a Christian sect thing. There’s division with Christians and some denominations think that unless you are saved under their specific denomination then You weren’t actually saved. But I agree with you. If the Christian god exists, then he knows what’s up. He knows that you already...

    No need to hate

    I agree.... but. But what if the other human’s faith is a message of hate? What if it’s “all X people deserve to die”? The Christians like to say “Hate the sin, not the sinner”. But it’s often hard to separate a person from their beliefs. If a person believes I or my friends should burn to...

    Summary of the History of RF

    This is amazing, DS. Thank you for taking the time to compile this!

    So... you didn’t read a single thing I wrote. I’ve asked you to clarify on multiple occasions and you haven’t taken the opportunity. You seemed to clearly link Hillary’s supposed corruption with her decision to remain with Bill. If that wasn’t your argument then why did you bring it up in a...

    White collar crime isn’t a crime - according to Giuliani.

    The point is that, in investigating the Russian connection of Trump’s campaign manager— which seems like a reasonable thing to do if you are investigating whether Trump’s campaign had improper Russian ties— they found evidence of other crimes. Do you think that crimes should be ignored if they...

    White collar crime isn’t a crime - according to Giuliani.

    I don’t think they started with tax returns. They started with campaign managers -> ties to Russia -> evidence of income from Russian ties -> Russian income not reported in taxes. What link in this do you find unreasonable? Also, because money does tend to have an extensive paper trail, it is...

    Verizon Throttled Firefighters’ Data As Mendocino Wildfire Burned

    So @tytlyf was correct. You support throttling. Sorry, man!

    Boss of National Enquirer given immunity for testimony:

    This really is too much a matter of opinion to continue. You can keep your man-eating lion. :p I would appreciate if you kept your misrepresentations of me within the appropriate thread. :p But really, if you spent less time criticizing how people post and simple say “yo Falv, you’re wrong...

    Verizon Throttled Firefighters’ Data As Mendocino Wildfire Burned

    . Throttling was included in the things those threads discussed as to possible problems with repealing net neutrality. You consistently insisted that the internet would be just fine and that fears were overblown. So we have some options here: 1) Your claim didn’t include throttling. So were you...

    Boss of National Enquirer given immunity for testimony:

    Deepest apologies! Big government and to a lesser extent authoritarianism (I think both parties have this issue) are Democrat party characteristics, not particularly personal to Hillary herself. It seems then, that a Republican (or libertarian) candidate would automatically be better in your...

    Boss of National Enquirer given immunity for testimony:

    The investigations never turned up any of the accusations they were investigating. That doesn’t mean Clinton was perfect. She made mistakes. I doubt you’d find a person who hasn’t. Mistakes does not equate to “incompetent and corrupt”. And if that is your criteria, then I can’t see how it was...

    Speaking conservative

    I clearly argued against your position, not you, citing your own words. You have alleged that Hillary is corrupt, largely due to her decision to remain with Bill. You have alleged hypocrisy, and yet cannot articulate what feminist idea she broke. You have attacked Hillary’s accomplishments...

    Verizon Throttled Firefighters’ Data As Mendocino Wildfire Burned

    I was correcting Tytlf. And you could simply correct any misunderstandings rather than waste our time preaching. But I think in this case my memory serves me pretty well: Like I said. You didn’t believe throttling would happen, that it was just a bunch of fear mongering. But in tytlf’s...

    White collar crime isn’t a crime - according to Giuliani.

    If I recall correctly, the tax fraud is in relation to payments he received as a foreign agent, specifically for the pro-Russian government in Ukraine. Following the Russian ties of Truump’s campaign managers seems like a reasonable place to start.

    It’s in the article— or didn’t you read it? You are clearly making purity arguments. Hilary’s feminism isn’t pure enough. Her marriage isn’t pure enough. Her accomplishments aren’t pure enough. How do you know it’s not? Personally, I don’t see why her motives matter. More purity requirements...

    Majority of Republicans want universal healthcare.

    You are not being objective. Claiming “both sides are the same” does not magically bestow objectivism, especially when it’s so easily shown to be untrue. I clearly outlined the errors in your claim. Feel free to debunk.

    Majority of Republicans want universal healthcare.

    Government backed single payer without price controls would be idiotic. Price regulation would go without saying. Obamacare was meant to work within our current for-profit insurance framework that Republicans defend tooth and nail. It was meant to be a modest reform— to be palatable to...
