I just hope those poor illegal invaders can be placed in one of the 8 sanctuary cities.

I'm just glad the people of Florida are no longer living under the threat of those 50 people in San Antonio.

Well, I have to admit that was funny.

Roughly a quarter of the people of Massachusetts are Republicans, I just presume that ratio applies to the people who helped out, are you contending that none of the good people that stepped up to help these people were Republicans?

Sounds like you have a low opinion of Republicans.

Very rare for me to read fiction. But I was bought the books as a present by the grandchildren for Christmas, ( I felt obligated to read them) but was quite surprised to find that there is quite a lot of British and other history woven through the books/ series of the G of T. The red wedding was inspired by the black wedding that happened in Scotland. War of the Roses is another.

 The tv series fell off for me after Season 4 and didn't compare to the books in any way. I have read that the two producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, aka Dumb & Dumber ran out of material? hard to believe considering the books runs into what seem like a billion of pages.

It didn't help that the author pissed off to write masses of other stuff before completing Song of Ice and Fire.... which still hasn't been completed. The dedicated ardent fans must feel cheated.

Won't bother with this new woke shite called House of The Dragon. FKN woke brigade just can't leave fk all alone, can they.

Good night.

I refuse to bother much to explain why capitalism sucks. It is not my job to educate people. Even if I did try to educate them, they would just ignore my words. They have done so before. The fact that they think they are free in capitalism shows that they are either retarded either part of the rich class. Anyway, in about 10-20 years when capitalism completely fails and world is in even greater chaos than right now, most people will suddenly switch to being commies. However, it will already be too late at that point. I dont care much about humans being wiped out. Considering what they have done, they deserved it.

My objection is that humans will say they didnt know. They always use the "i didnt know" excuse when faced with guilt. In their last days they will pretend they didnt know, just like when smokers pretend they didnt know smoking causes cancer. They knew it. They ignored it. They deserved it.

They could also sue Martha Vineyard residents for denying them  shelter as a sanctuary city. It's called false advertising.

why do you even do this stuff. no one reads it

So by your logic, Van Gogh was worthless because nobody ever saw his work.

Nope I was still talking my grandchildren and Game of Thrones. You are just far too fk dumb to realise that.

The fact there are so many dealerships and consumers rely on them should be proof they serve consumers well.

No, it's because there is no alternative.  There are laws that prevent companies from selling directly to consumer.  

Because car dealerships lobbied.  They felt that it was unfair that manufacturers could offer a better price to the consumer than third-party dealerships.  Being able to get the same product for a lower price helps the consumer.  This law does not help the consumer.

Nope, thicko. Learn to read. This is not a thread about religion so I wouldn't expect them to do that. This is a thread about a TV series based on a collection of fictitious books. 

If you want to discuss your other religious comments start your own thread in the appropriate sub forum. I am not prepared to derail someone else's thread simply to accommodate your religious and ignorant bullshite.

Now, off you go.

Is that how you keep your grandchildren stupid so you can read their books?

 They, like you just love fantasy and fiction. .   That is why I recommended the New Testament to them. They of course they grew up and out of it like most level-headed people do.  

You on the other hand haven't got past the belief of a dead, three days old, rotting stinking corpse of a man coming back to life, stage.

And you never will if your posts concerning the bible are anything to go by.

You don’t know what you are setting up your children for.

I am not setting them up for anything.

You posted: “That is why I recommended the New Testament to them.”.

Yes, because, thicko,  I said; it was right up their street at the time they bought G of T books for me adding that they loved fiction and fantasy.  But now they have grown up.

Here, a little maths puzzle for you. The last book of the series of Ice and Fire was released 2012. The two granddaughters that brought me this book ( A Dance of Dragons) were aged 13 and 15. I also said that they had now grown up. How old are my two girls now, thicky?

I won't be responding to the rest of your post simply because this is someone else's thread and not a religious thread.

Hm, a reason not to get a college degree, you are saying?

Also, Democrat leadership is lying when they claim MAGA Republicans are a threat.

The DNC has pumped millions of dollars into primary elections to make sure MAGA Republicans are on the ballot. This is what the Democrats want. They want you to be able to vote for a "threat to democracy"

@SkepticalOne

I've said "again" a few times in this thread...I'm sure your browser search function could handle this request.

I was referring to the subject discussed that made you say again (if it wasn’t as already obvious) not just the word itself (context dude 🤦🏾‍♂️) let me break it down for you, you said

Again, according to your religion and your holy book, heaven

Notice the first word of that quote? Good, now I’m asking you to refer me to where you mentioned imperfection and heaven in the same sentence previously, hence why you said “again” if I’m not mistaken.

No, more I just find it fun to imagine what I might build on various land, or life I would live in various houses, locations.

Even if I bought one location, other locations and different lives would still be there,

So it's more about the daydream, than making actionable plans in life.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/13/these-are-americas-10-most-expensive-states-to-live-in.html

How bad is California’s housing shortage? A 2015 study by the state’s Legislative Analyst found that the state has been building about 110,000 fewer units than the amount needed to keep up with demand. And California has been doing this for more than 30 years! That adds up to a shortage of around 3.5 million housing units and counting. And that translates to higher prices. A 2,400 square foot home in San Francisco will cost around $1.4 million if you’re lucky. The same house in Phoenix, a metro area about the same size, might go for around $400,000. And don’t get us started on the gas prices, the highest in the nation. 

2022 Cost of Living Score: 3 out of 50 points (Top States Grade: F)

Consumer Price Index (May, West Region): UP 8.3%

Average Home Price (San Francisco): $1,396,782

Half Gallon of Milk: $2.55

Monthly Energy Bill: $266.44

Sure, buddy

Just telling you the Google results.

Putting the term "RationalMoron" in quotations causes it to look for pages with that specific term, using site:debateart.com limits the results to urls that include 'debateart.com'.

Combining the two and it has Google look for any instances of the term "RationalMoron" on a website with 'debateart.com' in the url.

Always possibly that Google missed something, but it makes it easy to cut down on a long search if you know the term you are looking for. Even checked for "Rational Moron" and got nothing. So, maybe Google is missing it, maybe you are misremembering the term, or maybe something else entirely

Sometimes I find it fun to look through land, houses for sale.

He is talking about Red replacement theory. Lots of POC conservatives live in Red States. Most of them are against an open border. Especially when they have to pay for an open border.

JoJo , an “open border” by definition means people are not being processed by the relevant agencies. That  obviously is not what is happening  or they wouldn’t be getting transferred by authorities in Texas and Florida.

You are talking about White Replacement Theory, correct?

The only one I would stand up and fight about is me having a moral obligation to help other people in need. Its to vague. There are many people I would just let die where they stand for numerous different reasons.  For instance I would not lift one finger to help a pedophile. They need to die the most slow agonizing death imaginable. 

-> @RationalMadman

If you Google "RationalMoron" site:debateart.com then this page is the only one that comes up, which means that the term 'RationalMoron' cannot be found anywhere on this website but this thread (at least, this is the only thread Google can find). So, if Shila did call you a moron elsewhere, it would likely not be in the form of 'RationalMoron'.

New cars should be direct-to-consumer.  And used cars, just use a private seller.

The two main flaws of dealerships:

• Significantly higher markup compared to private sellers.  Expect to pay 30% more, which doesn't sound like a lot.  But essentially, if you spend $15k on a car at a dealership, you get a car you could've gotten for $5k at a dealership.
  
• Dishonesty and ethical concerns.  Pedophiles, murderers and rapists are the only thing preventing car salesmen from being on the lowest-rung of the moral totem pole.
  

Also, the benefits of car dealerships aren't actually benefits:

• "They provide customer service".  They waste hours of your time: chatting with you, making you wait in the waiting room while they talk to their manager, negotiating prices that they set artificially high, knowing they'll waste your time.  You're paying money to waste 3-5 hours of your time.  They don't help you get a product; they're just a barrier in the way of getting a product
  
• "They can provide knowledge and help you compare cars".   You can find this information online, and get more detailed information (stats, features, reviews, etc).  And there's less potential conflict of interest when learning from an independent party compared to learning from people who are trying to sell you their product.
  
• "They inspect their cars, unlike private sellers".  But there's a chance their inspection wasn't thorough enough.  You always assume that risk.  Either way, you get an independent mechanic to look at the car.   Them inspecting it doesn't change your decision whatsoever.

Pugilists stand in the same boxing ring because fighting from different venues is pointless. 

This actually helps DeSantis.  Publicity is publicity.  

Literally anything to distract voters from Florida's faltering economy and cost of living will help him.

the BMI overestimates fatness and health risks for Black people. Meanwhile, according to the World Health Organization, the BMI underestimates health risks for Asian communities,

This is true.  But it doesn't necessarily negate the fact that most people are fat.  This may apply in borderline cases, but even if you subtract 2 BMI from someone who is obese, they're still obese or overweight.

My cousin recommended the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series to me in the 90's and I wanted nothing to do with it because I wasn't much of a fantasy reader.

I hate slavery so I am anti-white. Slave owners were white, so I must hate white people.

Slavery was practiced all around the world by various other races, not just White people. You have unfairly targeted Whites. 

That makes whites as low as other races.

You originally said: "slave owners were white". You've now implicitly conceded that other races also enslaved: "as low as other races".

Hence, you've demonstrated that you unfairly targeted Whites.

Also, White people were the first race to push for the end of slavery.

Whites ended slavery after sleeping with slaves became fashionable.

If you "hate slavery so I am anti-white", why would you hate Whites when they instigated the abolition of the thing you hate? Shouldn't you be pro-White because it's Whites attempting to end the thing you hate?

Your profile says you studied math and economics. None of the views you listed are covered by your education.

Formally studying some topics does not mean you cannot informally study other topics. Look at Bill Nye as an example. Bill Nye hosted a science education program, continued to work in various ways to educate the public in science, etc., but what he formally studied was engineering. Does this mean Bill Nye is uneducated in science? Not at all. He studied science beyond just his formal education in it because he was passionate, the same can be said of many people with many fields of interest. You do not need to have a formal education in something to be knowledgeable in it (hence why many academic journals do accept papers written by people without a formal education in the field, so long as the paper meets the standard for publication).
