Re: Kinda sure that I cannot vote for Biden in '24

I am hoping that Kamala comes to understand her unfitness and devotes herself to finding better candidates. Not that I am at all hopeful. She is a shit candidate.

Re: Why the silence ?

But you have failed to explain why Scalia is not mentioned. If Thomas behavior is surprising and wrong then it would be natural to mentione Scalia similar behavior to emphasize the need for reform. How is it that lower courts prohibit what the SC permits?

Re: Why the silence

1. Why has no one mentioned that Scalia accepted tens of thousands in hunting trips? Scalia is dead and no longer making decisions on the Court; it was the subject of plenty of discussion during his tenure and after his death. 2. Why have I not heard the name of Bakke vs the Unov. Of California? Th...

Re: Failure to obey

I don't like being called a racist because it implies that I am a liar. I do not lie, and I don't hate or consider inferior any race, religion or ethnicity. I don't lie; I have something you all think a nineteenth century silliness, honor. I have said, in the past I am no racist; I don't hate or co...

Re: Failure to obey

Identifying truth with faith is a description of self delusion. Faith is the opposite of truth and a mental cancer. The empirical method says so and the empirical method has done more to reduce suffering, extend life, and increase freedom than 1500 years of “ faith”.

Re: Science and other racist things

Of course "scientists" who worked within totalitarian regimes on the left or right clearly allowed the politics to alter both their observations and conclusions; clearly not all scientists are motivated by dispassionate objective observations and experimentation. This has been true throughout histo...

Re: Failure to obey

Wow, liberty is a thoroughgoing racist. But first comes his penchant for self-delusion. He nurtures and protects his ignorance like.it is his treasure. He ignored many facts avail to him to maintain a darkly racist theory of events for which there was no positive evidence. A feature in common with m...

Leprosy was imported to the US and armadillos were deliberately infected. Some armadillos escaped from a lab in La. And it has spread to all? Places where the sturdy roadkill lives.

We’ve passed the point where - first woman to - is an interesting qualification. Good god has she risen up from an estrogen induced stupor and it’s crippling effect?

You are a human gifted with reason by nature or god as you prefer. Surely you can understand that having, or not, a hit record does not qualify or disqualify your opinion ? Try harder.

I’m not sure that it is harder than for intelligent people having to watch stupid people in action.
