Geez Eric, tell the joke right!
It’s
“What do you call an Irish guy that hangs out on your deck all day?
Paddy o’furniture”


Another classic:
What do you call an Irish male pornstar?

When facts are self evident as in this video then sure there is a true crime . Ill agree with you all day long as long facts show it.

When videos posted that show that zero evidence and people believe that there is a crime when there is none shown then I have to disagree .


Its not progress is just facts just facts.

Right, I'm back.

Was that it? Was that the best you have? Jesus, I was hoping for something a little better than that. I had high hopes for you indeed.

Care to point out those baseless assumptions?

"I understand challenges to your beliefs can be disorienting"

Fucking lol. Baseless assumptions much? You'd have to know my beliefs (and clear as day you don't) to even start to be a challenge to it. I even gave hints about my beliefs.

Don't be surprised when you blindly attack and make incorrect assumptions about someone that it comes right back at you. Also, keep in mind I love arguing. If that isn't obvious then I don't know what is. I could do this all day.

I don't think you're being sarcastic. I think you're trying to exude some sense of superior reasoning because you abandoned your religion. I think you're projecting your own insecurities onto other people to try to prop up your ego. I think you're angry at religion and are looking for religious people to dump your bile on (and it doesn't matter if they aren't religious - as long as you get to attempt to attack them it's all good to you) and that is pretty shitty of you.

"I'm just going to wish you the best and move on."

Yeah, good luck with that.

Lol, anyway - did you get my point yet? The one about Tradition and Sola Scriptura? It was an important point. I even gave an example of it... I'm waiting with bated breath.

This is nothing. You should watch just a few Russian dashcam videos... pedestrians and bicyclists getting slammed MUCH worse than this all day long.

The difference between smoking and say, drinking alcohol or eating unhealthy food, is that I can drink alcohol or eat cheeseburgers all day and I'm really harming no-one but myself.

"Ah, but people drive drunk and get in fights and do stupid things and cause all sorts of trouble"
Agreed, and we have laws against all those things. If you get drunk and kill someone, off to jail with you.

"Yes, but fat people are an enormous cost on the health system"
This is hard to discuss without going into the whole healthcare mess in the US, but as a broad point, it's nigh impossible to legislate against unhealthy behaviours to ones self. Where do you stop? Eating meat? Salt? Not exercising enough? What about people with disabilities?

But smoking? That directly and provably harms OTHER people in the same environment as you and they really have no recourse. If I walked into a public square swinging a sword around, it's not reasonable to say other people should just get out of my way.

So ultimately, as much as I dislike government legislating what you do to yourself (read my post history, I'm very pro-drug), I am ok with legislating that you cannot do something that harms other people in a public place.

Hell, I'd go further. I'm ok with government legislating that you can't smoke in your own home if, for example, you have kids. They didn't ask to live there, and it was your decision to have them, so sorry, no smoking for you.

And yeah, I'd say the same about alcohol. If your drinking is harming your children, then maybe you shouldn't have kids anymore.

Spaces over tabs all day.

why is it always about people with high blood pressure? I have low blood pressure, which at times makes me light-headed, but if I eat a little extra salt, my blood volume increases and everything is cool. So salt isn't "healthy" or "unhealthy". All depends on what your body's needs are. Same with sugar... if your body NEEDS sugar (I.E. after a workout to give a little insulin spike to help absorb protein) then it's healthy, if your body DOESN'T NEED sugar, (I.E. you've been sitting in bed all day playing WOW and want to get a mountain dew) then it will be unhealthy.

There was a guy who did this at Stanford shopping center all day, and at the end of the day would change into his clean suit in the parking lot and get into his new Mercedes-Benz. He probably made $500-$1000 per day until people got pissed and stood next to him with an enlarged picture of him in his car looking spiffy. Call these scammers out every time as publicly as possible.
At least it's illegal to pretend to be a vet while doing this.

I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY. *PROMOTE

"Helicopter Arm-Bar all day." Where can I buy the t-shirt?

"This is how selfish people are.
When you are on a plane and you hear a baby crying, you think that’s happening to you.
This is gonna ruin my flight. It’s gonna ruin it.
Well look at the parent, because that person is holding a crying baby on a plane.
Which means they’ve been travelling with a baby all day, which means they have a baby, okay?
So there life isn’t even good.
They don’t like anything.
Their whole life is, ugh, Jesus.
If there is any joy for them, it’s that this is now bothering other people.
Yeah, you listen to this shit now, WAAAH."

Oh my god... I thought the conservatives and their whining in form of such videos, Fox News and bad memes were bad when Obama won and won again, but these liberals/"democrats", really are worse. CNN crying all day long about their own Fake News, hypocrite AntiFa making a joke out of themselves over nothing, every day 5 of these videos here that have to explain to people why they have to hate Trump & Co. and more propaganda on social media than I have EVER seen before. Even Goebbels would have gone mad seeing the sheer mass of it.

Lol. That's the funniest shit I've read all day.

Your and my definition of destroy must be very different.

It was YOUR contention that any argument "followed" rather than preceded. If you don't want to be held to a claim, don't make it. Funny, that's the same as any good atheist would argue.

I wrote "any coherent arguments". I was quite specific. His "arguments" are a rambling stream of consciousness with a few statements that don't support any ideas to form a coherent argument.

Now here's where you fucked up big time: "you Trump supporters". Get ready to eat a bag of dicks because you got that wrong. I'm not. Buy them here https://www.amazon.com/Bag-Of-Dicks-Sent-Anonymously/dp/B01GKEUY1Y

"when given a cogent argument" bwhahahahahaaha. Yeah, he's not cogent.

"against your claims" bwahahahaahahaa. What claims did I make (besides Jim Jefferies not presenting an argument)?

" you consistently ignore it to focus on some insignificant, off topic bullshit, like "That proceeded-not followed-"Fuck off"" Bwhahahahahaa. This doesn't cover your mistake. You made a claim. I held you to it and pointed out that even if I didn't hold you to it you'd still fail. You're the one focusing on that point.

"when cogent arguments both preceded and followed the excellent retort to his utter bullshit." Bwhahahaahahaa. Except they didn't. You can say it's a cogent argument but that doesn't make it true. FFS I provided the transcript - it's right above - with no coherent/cogent arguments in it. I'll give the concession here that your standard for cogent/coherent may be lower than mine. "the excellent retort" is not excellent. It's a great example of someone with not much to say. It's verbal diarrhoea of someone who can't immediately think of a good retort.

Get over it mate. Jim Jefferies is a loud mouthed verbally aggressive comedian who doesn't present any good arguments in this discourse. He's great at shutting down his opponents by cutting them off with vitriol and bullshit but that's about it.

Oh, and Piers Morgan is a dick. Lol, how handy, you can add him to the bag your eating.

This segment is so short that unless you go and watch the whole thing (which I haven't) you're basically making an educated guess about what they're even arguing about.

I don't know why you're so desperate for Jim to be right. Every argument against Trump and his policies is not automatically cogent, coherent, correct, etc., even if one hates him.

Lastly, Godwin's law. He loses.

PS - This is getting boring. Unless you can assure me that you're non-partisan, and follow through with it in your arguments, I'm not willing to further discuss this with a proverbial pigeon.

I was about the reply to Bobknight - to say basically the same thing.

Unfortunately, a lot of us who are "liberal" can't understand this. There is truth to it, I'm not going to say that it isn't batshit crazy but for instance, I worked 5 days at a design temp job (before I quit and got the job of a lifetime a week later) and the owner was an older lady. She listened to FOX news ALL DAY long, totally in the box and in the zone for the alt-right mentality.

She, as a small business owner, who probably has other "conservative"(extremist) friends on the Chamber of Commerce (of which she was a part of) really believed that Trump as a "BUSINESS" person would be a great president in creating a better economy for"business"(tax loopholes everywhere, YES!!! No living wage or minimum wage increases, YESSS!!! fucking dicks the lot of em). I had to listen to this shit for those 5 days, but yeah - people really believe(d) it. There are business people out there, who aren't Bobknights eating doritoes in that wheel-less, rusted, mobile home in the trailer park waiting for the next tornado to plop down on tornado alley and give them the ultimate ride to the otherside, that believed in having a business person in the white house a good thing (fucking capitalists and terribly ignorant poor people IMO lol).

Media is in a real shithole these days. I mean, I still listen to Democracy Now! & NPR... but everything is slanted one-way or another...
