1. The US has a massive urban gang problem- the vast majority of US gun owners are not responsible.

2. Where gun control laws are introduced, knife and overall crime increase.

3. A government that disarms its populace can (and historically speaking, will) do more harm to its citizens than any collection of criminals.

Once again, you Europeans just don’t get it.

All Canadian arguments against annexation are either rebuttable or emotional.

The women gave their reasons for not reporting, they did not consider rape as important enough to punish for and even basically pointless to even report rape. Why would they need to make excuses when they  are being quoted.

Its obvious that many women dont consider rape as a big deal, some even gain pleasure from it. I think they just cant say it openly in the survey.

"It might be assumed that victim experiences of sexual violence are characterised by fear and pain, and while this is true for many, the phenomenology of sexual violence is more complex than this. Increasingly, sexuality research is recognising that people can desire and have a positive regard toward sexual encounters that they do not consent or agree to, however there is limited scholarship examining victim experiences of pleasure or arousal during sexual violence. This article presents a thematic analysis of 50 posts describing the experience of arousal and/or pleasure during sexual violence drawn from Reddit, the popular online discussion board."

That's what I meant by a losing battle. Bad use of the phrase

I made the mistake of debating him once, it was the dumbest, most incoherent thing I ever saw.

It was an incredible waste of time.

Trump has also been accused of making America great again.

Turning off foreign aid was a very good first step. It's like taking a credit card away from a drunken wife. The first step to admitting America can't afford all that nonsense.

I’m happy Trump won and I don’t care how many fits Europe wants to throw. I don’t care for European opinions on my great country, either.

As much as I think my county’s government is too involved in the private sector’s affairs, I’m glad I don't have to worry about the speech regulations and gun restrictions many European countries have. I already think too few Americans give the federal government pushback… so that should give you an idea of what I think about Europe’s culture.

AI relies on a different set of algorithms.

That maybe so.

Are you suggesting that this is a limiting factor?

But would this necessarily always be a limiting factor?

That's why Trump's lies are a whole different category of worse.

So basically, 28% of them say they didnt consider rape as important enough to punish the rapist for, and 15% basically say it’s pointless to even report rape. Is this the survey you want to go with? Because it just agrees with what I said that there is a probability that they wanted it and these are just excuses for not reporting it.

No, that's Ernest Borgnine.

This applies to morality as well. Humans can either determine what is morally right or they cant. If they can determine what is morally right, then God isnt the only one who can determine what is morally right. But if humans cant determine what is morally right, then they cannot determine that God is morally right.

Am I going crazy or are you actually starting to make sense.

If Shila doesn't like your religion he decides it's about BACKSIDES

~BACKSIDES~

A good time to remember that organized religion rarely ever attempts to overturn existing social conventions, only validate and preserve them.

The problem is when I do, I always end up fighting a losing battle against people like Mall

I must have missed that loss, I've never seen Mall do anything but make a fool of himself.

A lot of women say this about me, How does he do it?

President Trump is trying to end birthright citizenship, the legal principle enshrined in the Constitution that automatically makes anyone born within the US ...

You can go back to your German roots.

European thoughts American politics will never not be funny

All Trump wants to do is disallow pregnant illegals from crossing the borders, and having an “anchor baby.” That requires a specific interpretation of “birthright citizenship,” not getting rid of it. My parents are American citizens; it would not affect me.

Ok, deal.

I don't see any reason why AI would not decide/learn to be similarly definitive. That is to say, differentiate between data groupings, relative to content, then subsequently label store and utilise them accordingly.

For instance, we have the right to bear arms, but in Canada, it's just too damn cold for bare arms.

Sounds like you are making bunch of assumptions you cant prove. But anyway, the point is that man cannot know if he raped a woman, because maybe she consented and just pretended that she doesnt want it to get turned on more by sex. You assume woman wouldnt do this, but you cant read minds.

Canada has done better being independent. It outranks America in education, healthcare , quality of life, crime and global reputation.

Canada is better than the US in some areas, and the US is better than Canada in other areas (GDP per capita, cost of living, racial diversity, better weather).  Being in the same nation means to a large extent, every area would emulate the strengths of the other area to an increasing extent.  That goes with the free flow of movement, ideas, and integration.

And why do I want more DART friends?

Yep, perhaps we should look to a consistent China, rather than a divided America.

Mostly Europeans, but merged together and distanced from Europe since 1776.

*American president, married to an American who assimilated.

*American vice president, married to an American.

Genetically, I have a lot of German DNA? How much do I care about it, or German culture? Zero. As far as I’m concerned, my DNA is USA.

And a robot crocodile could probably be programmed more advanced, so that it's tears would actually 'mean the Robot is going to 'act in some certain way, though I still don't think it 'feels.

Trump was indicted in four different jurisdictions because he committed obvious and serious crimes. It's not about "trying to jail him", it's about deciding that someone who committed obvious and serious crimes and to which those crimes have been publicized to the entire population should be held accountable.

The reason why I say he's probably right about needing another term to stay out of jail is because he can't help himself. Especially after being given presidential immunity by the SC he's feeling really bold so sooner or later he'll probably overstep even their obscenely generous take.

Canada makes up just 0.2% of US border fentanyl seizures, Mexican border makes up 97%.

The Canadian tariffs were not about Fentanyl, that is just another lie Trump told the MAGA folks, he can tell them anything he wants, and they believe it, that's why he says, "I love the poorly educated".

Remember, these are the people that believe forest fires are caused by Jewish Space Lasers.

Not sure why you like making people braindead.

The problem is when I do, I always end up fighting a losing battle against people like Mall

What humans thought was depth, was actually width. The "depth" of the human soul, therefore will be replaced by the growing expanse of the internet. Yet what's actually happening is that the soul isn't simply replaced, but transformed—its boundaries extended outward, scattered across an infinite digital plane. Rather than one private, deep well, human identity becomes a mosaic of interactions, data points, shared consciousness.

So... You think he will get a third term?

He's an ego maniacal narcissist who doesn't want to give up power. He has no respect for the constitution, American history or America's future. He cares about himself and staying in power is how he makes himself feel important. He also believes (and maybe rightly) that staying in power is the only way to keep himself out of jail.

You would be a candidate for lobotomy.

Anyone who thinks that lobotomy is beneficial should get one.

I have been taking pills for years, but they dont really help much with depression mixed with anger. I also tried being a Christian, but I dont like the belief system there at all.

Maybe don't use the word "dictator" so flippantly then. It makes you sound unhinged and radical when every other word you use is abject hyperbole.

Left wing media is paying dearly for 8 straight years of "the worst thing ever"

Don't fall into the same habit if you don't want to alienate people.

Hey, M'harman.

Y'all a nation of immigrants.

Whose 400 year old culture is founded on Europeans, Africans and anyone else who decided to rock up.

Currently headed by a Germano-Scottish President, married to a Slovenian.

And an Irish- Scottish Vice President, married to an Indian.

Stilton cheese...Yum Yum.

but probably not.

I will have to reassess your grasp on reality.

Well, we have respect for decent Americans.

Decent people everywhere in fact.

But America is currently headed by a wannabee autocratic nut job, inspired by a Russian autocratic nut job, who together inspire others to behave like nut jobs.

So we now have to edge our bets in respect of European US cooperation.

Maybe we will now have to look to the far East.

It just means you can't face me at all. If I'm so easy to refute, you should have no problem facing me.

I can, and have. The reason I don’t accept your debates anymore is because you are impossible to interact with, and you fail to actually participate in all your debates. You are easy to refute, that’s why you have a 40% win rate

Currently Shila, currently.

As I continue to point out, human intellectual development is 2 million or so years in the making.

AI less than 100 years.

Give it time.

The fact that you talk about Trump's lying as "well maybe he's worse" is mind boggling.

Like I said earlier, Trump's lying is on a whole new level from anything we've ever seen. He lies about everything from big things to silly things, and he does it with not only no commitment to reality but not even a commitment to consistency. Sam Harris had probably the best takes on this I've heard which is that he distinguished Trump as being not a liar, but a bullshitter. The former sounds worse, but the latter is actually way worse.

A liar is someone trying to convince you what they're saying is true. That takes work and failure leads to consequences for that person. To avoid those consequences the liar has to work within the truth. Bullshiting is about destroying the very concept of truth, it's about asserting yourself as being impervious to it and empowering your followers to do the same.

Lying tends to contain itself only to the issue at hand. Bullshiting, especially when done in this fashion as Trump does, destroys our ability to even have a conversation with each other. And it might sound the way I've described it like bullshiting leads to less deciept because it's out there in the open but that's not true at all. Once the very concept of respecting the truth is gone people are more free to say whatever they want whether it's true or not so people don't even know who to listen to anymore and everyone becomes less and mis educated.

There is no one in American politics like Trump. There is no comparison.

I have been taking pills for years, but they dont really help much with depression mixed with anger. I also tried being a Christian, but I dont like the belief system there at all.

Well, Trump does do Flip-Flops !

EU has never been really afraid of Russia (they used to buy all their fossil fuels from Russia with no problems). Those EU leaders are afraid when all the Russiaphobes created over decades of EU propaganda will force those EU leaders to raise an army to defeat the phantom menace. Fat and lazy Europeans will protest all over at the loss of 3% GDP. And like the video stated, not a single EU boot will land in Ukraine to stop the liberation of the Donbas.

Just like they did in France over raising the retirement age to 64. As bad as America has with 1st world problems, EU has it paralyzingly worse.

It’s called national pride.

That's an emotional reason; and emotions don't belong in politics under any circumstances.

Canadians are proud of their country’s achievements and wish to be independent.

All Canadian achievements can easily be retained if they were to join the US

There is literally no non-rebuttable non-emotional reason for a Canadian to be opposed to peaceful US annexation.

Prove me wrong.

This video exposes the true EU fears. Europeans are not afraid of either Trump or Putin.

They are afraid of their own nations, and what they will do to them when they will be forced to defend themselves as American meddling ends.

It may accelerate some closures in "jogger" neighborhoods, and cause "Target deserts"

But likely not much else.

God answered their prayers on July 13, 2024.
