No, I mean the evil of Trump supporters attacking the Capitol. You call me "leftist" and say I'm evil, and you assume I embrace all leftist policies, but I don't. I have repeatedly said I disagree with Biden (who isn't even a leftist) on many issues, and that I'm not a Democrat. And yet you're...

Well, that's easy. I denounce all violence, no matter who commits it. Will you denounce the evil that was done on January 6 at the capitol?

That is your opinion. It is no more or less valid than any other opinion. So, do you agree that banks should stop giving out interest, and capital gains, and other income that is gained through no work? Do you agree that inheritances should be dissolved upon the death of the deceased, and...

Thanks for this. It was an interesting article, but there were some problems For one thing, they added in all the benefits Americans receive (welfare, etc.), but did not compare that to the benefits Europeans receive. So they were comparing apples and oranges. For example, they added up the...

There's a growing body of study that's saying that taking TIME away from people -- which is essentially what prison is -- is cruel and unusual punishment. You will never get that time back. Corporal punishment can heal, but you can't get those years back. I'm against the death penalty, but we...

Do you have any evidence to support that? I have pretty significant evidence to suggest voters would not agree to amend the constitution to get rid of democracy. I would need to see something that would show an actual poll that asked, "Would you support an amendment that removed...

In New York they passed a law banning sugary soft drinks above a certain size at fast food joints. No more "super-size" coke. I don't know if you can get the extra-large diet soft drinks.

Okay, here are the countries that have lower rates of poverty than the US, in alphabetical order: Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Czeck Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, South...

You forgot the 4th R. Removal from society. Restitution and Restoration, yes. And prison is NEVER that. (How does locking someone up provide any justice to the victim?) Rehabilitation for those who can be rehabilitated. And prison is NEVER that. (As several have said, locking someone up just...

Crime shows and movies aren't realistic at all. The English class might have been, I don't know. I have had 3 family members in prison. The current prison system is NOT fine as it is.

Do you know anyone who has been in prison for any length of time?

I wouldn't go that far. I say the following: If they are a DANGER to society, then they need to be REMOVED from society. Keep a prison system for people like that, but run it more like a state hospital than a prison. Patients have fewer rights than prisoners. Those who are not a DANGER to...

That is a valid choice. It is the government itself -- THE BLOATED AND IRRESONSIBLE GOVERNMENT -- that is the root cause of poverty in every country. This is demonstrably false. There are countries with far more government than the U.S. that have lower rates of poverty, and countries with less...

There are a lot of issues that have significant bipartisan agreement. Many here accuse me of being "liberal," but I'm curious if we can find some common ground in some of these issues? (I will probably end up posting several, but one at a time.) I can also provide a source that shows how...

Yup. It's WAY above my paygrade to deal with people like that.

Yes, that's basically what someone is saying when they say they don't accept two of the most unbiased and reputable sources in the world. So yeah, basically.

Yes, context. Like, I said that I rejected the numbers from Politifact because they didn't seem to match the other sources. And you conveniently ignored that context to imply something else. Context. You've made an assertion, now it's up to YOU to support it. I provided you with my sources...

I collected the data from multiple sources, including (but not limited to) wikipedia, reuters, politifact, and whitehouse.gov. Politifact listed Trump's convictions in the hundreds, but I couldn't find anything to support that number, so I went with the lower number that had independent support...

Here are some facts for you. Below are the past president going back 50 years, the number of criminal indictments in each administration, and the number of people who have been sent to prison in each administration. Trump (R, 2017-2020): 81, 14 Obama (D, 2009-2016): 0, 0 Bush Jr. (R...

My husband (who is a big-time gun nut) says the 2nd amendment is what gives the rest of the constitution teeth.
