  1. China wants Taiwan. Russia has already violated airspace. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/09/25/russian-pilots-dared-nato-start-war/ The rules of engagement only matter if you are willing to follow them.
  2. very dangerous bluster. The tightening alliance of Russia and China makes this threat worrisome. They are both provoking potential conflict seemingly in support of their imperialistic goals. Perhaps they believe that together they could win. Or maybe they're just seeing how far they can go without the US responding.
  3. you disagree with him therefore he has "tds". See how this works?
  4. Of course not. Fallacies are the basis of many or your arguments. The only place "lying" could be present in an argument is when a conclusion is based on false premises. Fallacies are present in the formation of a conclusion from the premises. All are fair game for criticism. But "tricks" as Orlando called fallacies, are often purposely and stealthily used to deceive. I'm not on reddit.
  5. you call me out on fallacies and I'll call you out from here on. Deal?
  6. exactly. But RFK jr and trump just stumbled on the holy grail and enlightened the world with their wisdom.
  7. I routinely cite respected sources to bolster my opinions. you do not. I have an MS in bioanalytical chemistry so I'm not science or lab naive.
  8. I spent hours looking up what I could give that was safe in pregnancy. They were rated A B C and so on. I don’t recall an A. Appropriately so. There are no “safe” medications All have risks and potential side effects. https://www.drugs.com/pregnancy-categories.html
  9. Well written but incorrect. Knowledge is the basis for everything. It doesn’t always result in accurate analysis or action but it’s much better than lack of knowledge. But everyone has their area of expertise. I couldn’t get a golf tee out of the dryer filter recently ( it seems it broke before the exhaust blower did) and there are stains all over my driveway from oil changes. I can’t fix my busted mower after hitting a stump. I don’t even attempt plumbing or electrical . But I can look at you tube and try or decide that it’s over my head. Searches on political and scientific issues are available to all.
  10. They were filling refrigerator tractor trailers with bodies because the morgues were overflowing. The most reasonable course was the most restrictive.
  11. No. If someone doesn’t understand a solid immunology lecture it doesn’t follow that the lecture was meaningless.
  12. I’ll admit, I get a laugh out of the local ads. The car dealership ads are often hilarious but it must work or they’d stop. The ambulance chasers and disability ads just pi$$ me off
  13. Freedom of speech is a big deal. He was successful. Very successful. 22 years on his own show isn’t liver sausage. So he could well afford to share his true thoughts. Sounds like the American dream on steroids. And this isn’t about him.
  14. To be taken seriously? Seriously?
  15. Ad hominem. What in my post do you disagree with? In retrospect, it's clearly #19
  16. lots of truth. we don't always find it. But it's there.
  17. I don't imagine anyone will defend the selling of indulgences. That happened centuries ago and Luther rightly called it out. My wife likes a to say "It doesn't matter. We're all praying to the same God. Pick a team." I agree with her. I needn't encourage you to call me out.
  18. call me out when i use fallacies. That's not how I desire to debate. Maybe you're talking about my appeals to authority. That's not a fallacy if the authority is widely recognized as one. For example, it's not a fallacy to note that a Harvard dean in a relevant dept supports the idea that tylenol has an effect on fetal neurodevelopment.
  19. No. There are many examples of hermaphroditism. That’s truth.
  20. That seems the obvious path for the networks. I doubt the OTA viewers are the heavy consumers they want to target with ads. But if a president wants to squelch their speech with threats, he still can. Streaming is under the jurisdiction of the FCC, right? As an aside, it doesn't make sense to me why Sinclair and similar companies are worth as much as they are said to.
  21. is there a law that says this? serious question.
  22. There are absolutes on earth. a person is either alive or dead, The earth is round. Gravity exists etc. These things don't have truth, they are truth. "have the truth" is slippery, sliding into relativism.
  23. wow. projection much. you have nearly 24k posts. are you changing the world? I'm just trying to make the cesspool more reasoned with this.
