    Ukraine Crisis

    You mean "kobans"? I love kobans too.

    Ukraine Crisis

    If you mean slaves, well you're right about that. In such case universal male suffrage wouldn't happen until the 1860's, still like 60 years before all the men in England got the vote, which was my point . . . to the Brit.

    Nope. Category error. False analogy.

    Ukraine Crisis

    I did. That's where I got the 0.001% figure. Didn't you notice that? I'm not doing that. I'm only glad so far that the regime isn't also suicidal on top. Suicidal regimes like Nazi Germany (territorially not far away from Ukraine and Russia!) and Imperial Japan, in the age of H-bomb nuke...

    I do not understand that one either, don't feel bad.

    Ukraine Crisis

    It's more damning evidence against them. It makes their story seem even less possible. When you're a first degree human rights violator, it's difficult to give them the benefit of the doubt. Especially when it's not reasonable doubt, but merely the benefit of possible doubt. It's only...

    Ukraine Crisis

    There were lots of "isolationists" back then Jefferson, you would have been in good company. I'm basically isolationist too, so long as we're not missing an opportunity, for expansion of our country and Constitution. I'm a big expansionist. We need to envelop the whole Earth in America. For...

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    No I haven't. I don't care and I'm ignoring whatever you want to label all the office holders together as a group. Catholic, Orthodox, Ethiopian Orthodox, whatever, I don't care. The name doesn't matter. It's the category, which exists in reality, which the Apostles invented, and which can...

    Ukraine Crisis

    Neither you nor I know every last fact about what was or wasn't going on within Ukraine leading up to Russia's invasion. All I'm saying is that it's possible they are in their own way acting in good faith. I just really don't think they are, it might be beyond a reasonable doubt that they're...

    Ukraine Crisis

    That's what they do in China. Regimes which don't respect first degree human rights like the freedom of the press are bone-chilling.

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    Me saying that the office of the presidency of the United States existed in times past is not splitting hairs. If ever someone were to come along and say, "I hold the office of the president of the United States," we can quickly tell whether he did or didn't. When someone says they hold an...

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    Hmm. Another source said it was an AR pattern. Maybe they don't want to use bogeyman terms with the upcoming mid-terms so close, and with Dems looking like they're going to take it in the shorts.

    Suicidality and the Second Amendment

    Seems a little unlikely to be a coincidence: https://us.cnn.com/2022/10/25/us/st-louis-school-shooting-tuesday/index.html "The gunman died at a hospital after a gun battle with officers ... He was identified as Orlando Harris, who graduated from the school last year."

    Ukraine Crisis

    I think just because WWI started when one European country invaded another European country and WWII started when one European country invaded another European country. With nukes involved, and a history of suicidal regimes in Europe, this looks like a powder keg, and why? Why risk a WWIII...

    Protestantism was falsified here on TOL

    No! Clete. The office is objectively real. It isn't begging the question because it doesn't depend upon "Catholicism" or "Orthodoxy" being true. The office exists. That office holders today identify as "Catholic" or "Orthodox," is off-topic; it doesn't matter, to my point. The office...

    Ukraine Crisis

    If they are truly punishing immorality on the part of Ukraine----and only if----then that would be justification. It doesn't look to me like that's what's happening though, it just looks like an aggressive territorial expansion. But is there a 0.001% chance I'm wrong? Sure. I just really...

    Ukraine Crisis

    So you don't believe Russia lied at the start of this thing? Is that how skeptical you are? or do you think Russia did lie? Because the story is Russia lied, they said, "No we won't," and then they did. Do you believe that happened, or no? And please just say yes or no, I don't want to read...

    All Things Gambling Tropes

    The issue was that the best poker players prey on the bad poker players, especially the wealthy ones who for one reason or other wandered into the poker room, with great big giant gobs of money. In my above satire I'm explaining why in-person poker is always going to be superior to online...
