Many people can fact-check you on the internet. Without receipts, you can only profitably declare things conspiracy theories and falsehoods, in live, in-person discussions. It's a poor tactic on the internet if you don't have receipts. ofc. But @annabenedetti misses the big picture context...

If you make a risible claim am I supposed to seriously engage you? Like, “ Nobody is trying to trample all over your second amendment rights to own a gun. ” It's like you didn't even read what I wrote, because I addressed this directly. Do you even really read whole posts before responding to...

I thought it was more like 50%

As we've discussed elsewhere, if he had mowed down a blockfull of people, we wouldn't have even heard of it, because we don't hear about Black mass shooting events, because of actual racism in the Leftist news media. Only white mass shooting events make national headlines. And as we've also...

This thread, especially many of the posts by @IXOYE in it, was a big part of TOL's role in me converting to Catholicism. This, and some of @Cruciform 's links. Just for the record.

I still don't understand. How is it not deceitful to change your appearance on command, versus blind someone's eyes on command? They seem the same to me. If you see deceit in one but not in the other, can you explain why? or elaborate more?

idk how recent this trend is, but there are faggots like Dave Rubin and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Milo Yiannapoulos as well as lots of micro-celebrity commentators who are faggots, who disapprobate and disavow trans stuff and trans activism. These faggots attempt to stand...

Or, in parables. Aristotle categorized poetry with advanced rhetoric, rhetoric being attempting to persuade, and, including the most persuasive points from a logical examination of the subject at hand. So you thoroughly logically analyze, cherrypick the points most likely to persuade your...

As time permits I'll get to everybody's posts, in the meantime:

Excellent case in point, right on cue Arthur.

Good bye!!!!!!

When interests align, you don't need a conspiracy. That's basically Adam Smith's invisible hand, if you apply the principle to economics at scale. But also when interests align, that is the only time a conspiracy makes any sense as a live possibility. Nobody is going to conspire if their...

Reminds me of Candace Owens and what she's trying to do rn re Charlie Kirk's open-and-shut murder trial. Except it's an open secret that Owens will abstain from saying something, literally due to liability. So she's following in Jones's tracks, but she's learned from Jones's mistakes too...

I like metal, or heavy music. Not exclusively, I like it "in the rotation" though. I could try opera. I have not tried opera. I certainly haven't given opera the chance I gave to Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Slayer, and other bands, artists, and acts. Fair is fair. Cool. :cool: It's nice to...

OK. What if you sin but without emotional pain or any guilt? Would you just conclude that that person isn't saved? This problem is nuanced because we need to first identify the line between what is, and what is not sin. Scrupulosity for example is when a Catholic feels guilt and experiences...

... you're still retarded. You don't know what you're talking about! = In Germany the social welfare system interestingly enough, pays the Catholic Church! One has to wonder, given all the headlines over the years about "the German bishops" if there's some connection between this and the...

I never got in to Slayer. I tried, I can't remember what it was that turned me off, but the equation of pros and cons just didn't favor Slayer. They're in good company, I couldn't get in to Megadeth either, or Iron Maiden. The equation just didn't work out, for me, for them. There is a lot...

Interesting that we don't hear so much anymore about the disparity between the American social welfare system and European and Anglosphere social welfare systems anymore. That used to be a big talking point in the discourse but I haven't heard that one in many years now. It's a dead issue...

Just as in previous military operations we can't know all that our politicians and civilian government workers know, we're left reading tea leaves. I'm saying, sure you could read the leaves in the cynical way, but also, and just as justifiably, you could read them in a less skeptical way...
