Supreme Court To Revisit Affirmative Action In...
(cont) 5. you’re just fighting tooth and nail to not have to accept the fact that if AA encourages the beneficiaries to do the bare minimum, one logical corollary is that those that do not benefit from such policies, and are also left behind, are also doing the bare minimum. unless you believe that there is something fundamentally and essentially different about the 2 groups, such that one...

Supreme Court To Revisit Affirmative Action In...
1. the logical process whereby one knows what another person’s underlying assumptions are is called ‘entailment’- you can’t believe taxes are a good thing, for example, if you believe the government has no right to your money. you can’t say you’re a christian if you don’t believe that jesus existed. see? certain beliefs require other beliefs. 2....

where is your proof that cccclearly’s comments aren’t a lie? go ahead. prove that the person isn’t lying. i got rid of my ignorance the day i decided i’d rather be rational than believe in fairy tales. what you ‘experienced’ isn’t proof, it’s not even evidence. i’d say that you’re clearly lying as well. go ahead. prove you aren’t....

wait….this girl is a cubana? no dear, you didn’t have a dirty, flea ridden life. your parents lives were good. that’s why mum and dad ran away after castro took their toys. they loved their country so much that they ran. piensalo bien, little girl, there’s as much black blood in you as there is in a great many non-whites. you’re skin is white, but you and your...

oh yes, w/o a doubt my statement is something of an oversimpli­fication, but no more than i think some of these yahoos deserve. i would posit that the longer history of the Eurasian continent with regard to warfare, diplomacy, and coexistenc­e, rather than our history of colonizati­on and subsequent asymmetric­al warfare against indigenous population­s instead of against more capable adversarie­s...

Mormon Baptism Targets Anne Frank -- Again
it only took being murdered in a death camp. great. we can all plan trips to death camps so the mormons can save us. i’m tired of advocating for rational public, domestic and foreign policy. let god fix this crap. he screwed it up in the first place.

i’ve been given to understand as much from some of my Ukrainian and Russian students (i sometimes tutor English to non-native speakers). i would venture to guess that a sense of complacenc­y has paved the way for US ‘christian­s’ to become almost as (and in some cases, just as) radicalize­d as some of the people they hate most. nowadays, i think that jeebus, if he ever bothered...

you don’t pay for it now, genius. or maybe that’s too factually accurate for the conservati­ve mind?

sigh…sor­ry mike, it’s called the ‘no true scotsman’ fallacy. maybe reading a book other than the bible would help? maybe, just maybe, instead of trying to defend the indefensib­le, you’d do the christian thing, and voice opposition to the use of your faith as an excuse to kill people? maybe that would make anything you say credible. and by the way, i challenge you...

you’re a propagandi­st, don’t fool yourself. you’re not helping anyone for free. it’s disgusting that you should even pretend otherwise. and by the way, there’s no such thing as a “credible first hand source”— all missionari­es are brainwashe­d, and all they do is brainwash. you can color it any way you like, but all you’re doing is...

“The locals will walk for hours to come to a Church service. They’re hungry for the word too.” ——see this thing right here? that’s called a LIE. “No one has to convert or even listen to a sermon. It’s aid with no strings attached.”­—-this thing? ALSO A LIE. as to the rest, i’ll take your word for it—i’ve never had the...

oh. ok. so the guy who had a broomstick shoved up his rectum, well, he wasn’t shot, so it’s ok then? no harm done. when there are clowns to the left of you, and jokers to the right, you can be sure you’re the village idiot.

one more thing: if you’ll notice, not once did i mention all the historical­ly verified atrocities the church has committed in the name of helping the poor. i don’t have to. the past 20 years of church history gives the lie to your position, even if you don’t like it, can’t accept it, and won’t admit it. so again: you lose this argument, hoss. no shame in that....

“what they do for the poor on a daily basis?” oh. you mean, not auctioning off even 1% of the vatican’s holdings to feed said poor people? you mean overpaying church cronies for ‘nativity scenes’? you mean dressing the pope in enough pope gear to feed a family of 4 for a year? you mean telling ppl w/too many kids they already can’t feed to skip using...
