Ah, my apologies. I’ll make sure to stick to one argument at a time so that you can understand.

You’re a troll. You think your opinions are “enlightened” or “rational” but they’re not. What you excel at is upsetting people by being abrasive. Look at your comment history and the downvotes you get on nearly every subject. When you speak, you do so in a way that’s upsetting to people. It’s not WHAT you say, but rather HOW you say it that creates this reaction. You’re just a troll and you’ve somehow convinced yourself that the downvotes are proof that you’re right and everyone else is wrong.

Upsetting your fellow humans is not the mark of a good person, nor is it the mark of an intelligent one.

The rare time you use your intelligence to form a coherent empathetic argument you get hundreds of people supporting you. Maybe try to build off that instead of feeling proud of your abrasive countenance.

I’m looking forward to your “honest debate” in every thread related to murder and capital punishment, but I know this is the only victim you’ll be defending in the near future. While you accuse others of dishonesty, it’s classic projection of your own moral fallings.

When posters say their convictions are simple “innocent until proven guilty and having the right to competent defense” they’re dishonest because “this is the only thread we’re in, what a coincidence /s”. Why the same logic doesn’t apply to you is a mystery.

Also this wasn’t first degree murder in New York, that is reserved for the premeditated murder of specific classes of people such as law enforcement. If you’re going to have these “clear and easy to express convictions” at least be accurate and clear about it.

I had you tagged as “conservative pseudointellectual” from previous interactions and it’s been accurate EVERY TIME I run into you. You consistently defend capitalism and conservatism, and now Catholicism for some reason? Against the interestes of the population in general.

I don’t see you standing up for all murder victims. You’re ONLY here in this thread defending this specific murder victim. Your dishonesty is plain as day. It’s clear that you think the rich should not face the social consequences of their actions. You think that as long as someone follows the law they should be able to harm as many people as they want as long as they create shareholder value. The fact that this is the murder victim you’re defending is pure coincidence! You act like you just want everyone around you to have “honest discussions” but you hide your own convictions. At least have the courage of your convictions.

Sure, anyone who disagrees with you is evil or dishonest. That’s how you know that YOU’RE the only one engaging in honest open discussion.

The headline is “crowd raises money to defend innocent man accused of crimes”.

I don’t know where you’re getting that we’re celebrating murder. You won’t even accept that you’re jumping to conclusions. You’ve got a lot of assumptions built into that head of yours sir.

I fucking love this story. Thanks for sharing it!

I only counted 4x6 … because I can’t count :(

Best part is that if you include the free space in the center it actually has the exact number of boxes for a full bingo card.

What movie is this? Looks like a good time!

I just meant that thrust is only 1/3rd the equation. The rest is the wings that convert thrust into lift at 3 to 1 ratio. And then there is all the systems that keep it controllable and safe etc… it’s a miracle machine really…

Not really. The thrust those engines produce is only about 1/3 the weight of the aircraft. It’s in part thanks to the engines for sure though.

I think cats will be even more on the side of real food in the real food vs salad debacle, animal edition ™.

At first I thought this was a joke about how global warming is going to turn walkable cities into “swimmable cities”.

The idea is awesome though, why do polluters have more rights to our waterways than human beings who have always used local water to swim and bathe.

What do you mean I can’t install siding on the inside… It’s called “siding” not “outsiding” it goes on every side!

That sounds like an entrepreneurial opportunity to remedy the situation!

I’m also a bit confused about the fact that good cell service seems to add points, and having dangerous animals also adds points?

That being said, a TREMENDOUS amount of work went into this and I love the infographic. Very well done!

More people were killed in the firebombing.

The theory that more people would have died of the nukes weren’t dropped is FAR from settled fact. The Japanese were already looking to surrender and it’s not likely the bomb played a big part in that decision.

Regardless it’s nothing to get banned over, that’s for sure.

The complete disregard for “purity” is what made English flexible enough to become the defacto default common language of most of the world. Your pursuit of language purity is in fact very un-English.
