    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    Well, this bill would allow continued funding at current levels in case of an impasse. Appropriations for Defense must be every 2 years.

    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    The Senate approved of a bipartisan budget by voice vote. Trump refused it. Congress did not delegate any responsibility to anyone else. This bill does not provide any minority any additional power than any other law provides.

    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    I actually agree with you and @Quetzal in that there would undoubtedly be unintended consequences of this law, as there presumably are with most laws. Nevertheless this shutdown was horrible, and could have quickly become irrecoverably devastating. Someone apparently was able to talk some sense...

    we have no free will - prove me wrong!

    Perhaps you would be less confused if you quoted what I actually said: "Thus, if you are in fact an entity that lacks free will, then you are unable to choose to assert or to believe a true answer to the question of whether free will exists rather than a false answer.if you quoted what I...

    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    OK, yes, I get that. Still how is that worse than what did happen to many more innocent federal employees? Besides, the scenario you describe will have to happen to a number of 'poor" Congress members, and I find it unrealistic that an extremely bad budget would actually get enacted that way...

    Why people should go vegan

    So you still cannot cite any evidence that substantiates your claim. That must be embarrassing for you.

    Was CNN Tipped Off About FBI Raid Of Roger Stone?

    Obviously there is no law that forbids the DOJ from tipping off a news outlet about an upcoming raid or arrest. Therefore, if that's what happened in the instant case, I see no reason to be upset by it.

    Why people should go vegan

    If you ever become able to cite any evidence to substantiate your claim that animal-eaters are healthier than vegans, be sure to alert me.

    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    Thank you. The scenario you describe could happen. Nevertheless, why would it be better or more fair to shut down the government and cause so much pain to so many people who can't afford to go without paychecks rather than withholding the paychecks of the members of Congress and the president...

    Why people should go vegan

    So neither of you are able to cite any evidence by which to conclude that animal-eaters are healthier than vegans, nor that humans need to eat animals. Is that correct? If you can cite such evidence, just do so. There's no need to keep under your skirt.

    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    I don't understand what you mean here. How would this law enable "us" to "leverage the richest Congress person to the poorest Congress person"? Please explain the process you are referring to.

    Why people should go vegan

    So are you trying to say here that you are unable to cite any evidence by which to conclude that humans need to eat animals?

    Why people should go vegan

    I don't have a clue as to what "the blue zones" are. Be sure to cite and link to all of the evidence you refer to by which to conclude that animal-eaters are healthier than vegans.

    Why liberalism can and has been a disease.

    Yeah, isn't it an old vaudeville act? It seems I've heard the song and dance before.

    Why people should go vegan

    It's so informative that those here trying to justify eating animals never address the arguments pertaining to cruelty or the harms to the environment or climate resulting from humans eating animals. It's like an abolitionist putting forth a series of arguments contrary to slavery, including the...

    How Do You Think The Whole Trump Fiasco Will Turn Out?

    Why the hell would you think that? You haven't engaged in any such pleasantries. Your inability to substantiate your claims won't leave me with egg on my face.

    Do you support the Stop STUPIDITY Act?

    Exactly what responsibilities of Congress are delegated by such a law, and how does it accomplish that? How would such a law make Congress more partisan? Members of both parties have proposed similar laws. Given the unpopularity of the shutdown and the fact that both parties have proposed such...

    we have no free will - prove me wrong!

    The denial of free will (defined as the ability to choose between available options) is self-stultifying, no less than the assertion of epiphenomenalism is self-stultifying. See: Like Epiphenomenalism, Denial of Free Will is Self-Stultifying Thus, if you are in fact an entity that lacks free...
