okay, I should leave this on a more positive note, so I’ll hand it over to Tim:

Do you really think that?  Oneguy,

I realize you have your foibles and tendencies toward the white supremacy bent, but I generally think of you as fair minded in your belief system.

How has all the abuse he has perpetrated on asylum seekers helped the working…

ThatOneGuy: Truth is always on life support in politics.

What the hell does that mean?  Sure sounds like you’re implying truth is meaningless.  Is that how it works these days?

and they should never come before American lives.

So you are saying, ME FIRST and fuck everyone else?  You don’t think a healthy community requires cooperation among peo…[Read more]

Sure, but you say stuff about hitting them below the belt, so that’s not “engaging”.

Right and it’s trying to connect.  Sometimes that takes a good cold slap across the face.  It’s just how the real world is.

You don’t stop talking about issues when you talk about economics.

But no one wants to talk real economics!!!

Since the bottomlin…[Read more]

Yeah, good morning son and smell the coffee,

ever see the way those quarterbacks nuzzle up to the poor guy in front of them with the ball.

Creepy – I’d sure never let a guy snuggle up to me like that, then to let QB shove his hands up in there.   Yucka.

Balls to balls and all that.  That’s what manly men do for fun, eh?

Oh and then the p…[Read more]

Tee, Do you have any thoughts about why woman would be against the E.R.A.

Crazy like a fox, the big t.

dreamer, you’re nothing but a dreamer.

(but didn’t tag me)

Oh, oh.  Please explain this rule for the uninitiated.

Temper, temper.

Holmes: Go **** yourself man.

Are you feeling victimize again?  Why?   Because we’re expecting some real responses rather than your canned shit.

You can start with tackling this:

Widdershins observes:  So in your first sentence you are trying to insinuate that we are sycophants for our acceptance of evolution when the reality is…

Well I had to share the good news with someone:

NOVEMBER 5, 2019
Diary, 11/5/19 – Small Victories, USA’s newest Library District

https://confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2019/11/diary-usas-newest-library-district.html

Actually I think a root problem is that I don’t hear any liberals defending what they’re all about.

Politicians are all stuck in a pro-growth world, which was great for all of human history before us – but in this time and place, all economic growth and expansion is doing is pressing down the gas peddle, the one that’s taking us to where no one…[Read more]

Hope is a survival strategy in hopeless times.

wish I could say I came up with that, but someone on NPR, i think it was, beat me to it.   🙂

Well done Tim.  Thank you.

Oh for what it’s worth out here in these parts, we have a few Trump supporters, who are also supporting the creation of new library district in order to save a couple rural libraries.  I mean I can get along with plenty of red-necks, politics is only a small aspect of who we are and things we need to do.

The real p…[Read more]

Did I post the article about economics somewhere? Most of the 150 million who vote don’t vote based on a calculus of how well a candidate matches up with facts. They look at the price of cheese and how well their car is running and vote.

So does that mean we simply accept it?   And its consequences?

What about trying to engage some media cl…[Read more]

FairPlay in politics is essential for a healthy civil society.

Don’t cheat people.

Don’t lie about what others have said.

Don’t slander others!  Especially not to divert attention away from yourself.

Don’t lie about well understood facts.  Hell try not to lie much as you can.

Answer questions directly and stay on point.

Contracts are to b…

I understand that but you will eventually discover that philosophy underpins science far more than many really understand.

Excuse me?  I never implied that it didn’t.  I didn’t even say it’s worthless!  I simply explained I’m doing it my way.  It’s not like I can’t appreciate why others do it their way.

Yes but that’s also a philosophical state…

Truth
In Our Time
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss philosophical approaches to truth.

What’s did that discussion have to do with this discussion, “Proof that science can’t prove anything?”  ??

I didn’t hear it, perhaps you can give me something specific, time references are always appreciated.

Oh and what about HONESTY?  What about m…[Read more]
