There were no such polls dolly. They were fabricated lies.From polls I'd assume? Do you think otherwise?
So, just because the supreme court arbitrates on either side of a matter doesn't make the matter controversial or non-controversial.
Think man. The controversy was the made up one that Trump had overstepped his authority. Only liberals were screaming and gnashing teeth.
the only reason we both know about those events is because they are controversial issues that have circulated the internet
Posted by sjw liberal snowflakes who find Trump's breathing to be "controversial". And then picked up by the fake news media, and viola, you liberals have a "controversy" you can use to denigrate Trump. Fake.
For example, somemight find it interesting....
"Some people" find ANYTHING that is negative about Trump interesting. The fake news knows this.
...what lets you believe his explanation?
Common sense and being free of the irrational hatred of Trump.

Here you go,
Saving every human being on earth that has already been born is much more realistic than trying to save every unborn embryo.
You said this slick. Not me. You are confused.
Perhaps, but...
1. I am in no way obligated to prioritize what you think is relialistic.2. Only what I am able to do is realistic.
You chose to dodge the question by suggesting that what may or may not be considered "more realistic" is immaterial to your decision making process.
I can't dodge my own question billy-bob. I said I was not obligated to prioritize what you think is realislistic. You are the one who thinks that saving every human being on earth that has already been born is much more realistic than trying to save every unborn embryo. Why would I say anything that stupid?
If this is incorrect,....
It is incorrect. I did not say, "Saving every human being on earth that has already been born is much more realistic than trying to save every unborn embryo." You said it. I would never say anything that stupid.

Conservatives Side with - Greedy pharmaceutical corporations, overdoses and death and prohibition style criminalAnd are against - Personal sovereignty and the right to decide how much suffering is reasonable
Sounds right.
The you say, Outlawing dangerous and or deadly substances has nothing to do with privacy.
Yes, and?
Then we are right to allow a drug addict to decide how much suffering is reasonable. Think.
Axiomatically speaking, addiction is defined as a behavior that an individual cannot freely choose to stop themselves
Absolute stupidity. Was the person born addicted? Liberals are against personal sovereignty because they are against personal responsibility.
But the blame game is not the point here.
Personal sovereignty without responsibility? How like a liberal.
The point is, if someone claims they believe "all life is precious", then it really shouldn't matter "who is responsible".
We aren't idiots. You can't have personal sovereignty without responsibility. Because life is precious is the reason why who is responsible matters.
If someone wants help, for example, affordable healthcare and or rehabilitation services,....
And why can't this person pay for these services themselves? They spend all their money shooting up, smoking, and on tattoos, and then they now want someone else to pay?
...someone who believes "all life is precious" would logically be in favor of providing affordable healthcare and or rehabilitation services even if only to SAVE MORE PRECIOUS LIVES.
If life was precious to this dweeb, he wouldn't have polluted it with junk. I will spend my limited money on people who really deserve it. Not scuzzy drug addicts and skanks who treated life like it was a toilet.
But the liberal, who isn't paying, and often isn't even working, has no problem taking money from people who make it, to gave to deadbeats who only suck the vitality out of society.
No thanks.

How does one report opinion as fact?
Remember Judge Kavenaugh? CNN reported he was guilty of sexual assault. That was a lie. It was their opinion, but told their viewers it was an actual fact.
For example, reporting on speculative future events can only ever be thought of as opinion, such as the crashing of the stock markets.
You would think so right? But with Russia collusion, the fake news was already talking about whether Trump would only be impeached or also face jail time. For them, the collusion was an established fact.
Perhaps you could give me a concrete case in the context of one of your examples?
Kavenaugh, Russia Collusion, or the pre-election numbers. Where did the fake news get those numbers that showed Hillery winning by double digits? Those weren't mistakes, they were lies.
There are multiple examples of what I would consider controversy in the current administration.
Sure. You would, because you follow the fake news like a good liberal. We know better. We know, for example, that the list Trump used to exclude citizens from 7 countries from entering the US was an Obama list. The fake news didn't report that, and you were swept away in the "controversy", but when it went to the supreme court, we saw it was a made up controversy, fake news. The supreme court ruled that Trump had acted legally.
For example,
Nepotism - made up controversy.
Suitability of multiple employees/nominations - whether a hire is suitable or not is an opinion. Who made your opinion a controversy?
Hypocrisy in regards to Obama and his golfing - so you think it was a controversy. I never heard of it.
Stormy Daniels - made up controversy. Where is she now?
His tax returns - How is it a controversy? We have an entire govt office to monitor taxes. They are auditing his taxes right now. Why does he need to show them to you too?
Compliance with the emoluents clause - show the crime.
James Comey - made up controversy
Family separation - sorry, I don't know what this is.
"Shithole countries" - Trump denied saying it and people there denied hearing it. There is no audio or video. Classic trumped up controversy. (Pun intended)
Access hollywood tapes - please get serious. Tabloid TV?
Were these events controversal?
No, they were stupidity gassed up by the fake news meant to send liberals like you into a froth.
In what manner are they fake?
They are all non-issues reported as if they were hidden crimes of Trump. All complete with the speculation of how the noose was closing around Trump and his downfall was only a matter of time.
When the story itself is true, it is reported in a fake way. That is why they have all amounted to nothing. All those breathless predictions of Trump being hemmed in, bogus. Fake, fake, fake.

Types of Bullies
It's a combination of several different factors at work (not necessarily all of them):
- Learning things the hard way
- Fixation/Obsession
- Repeating scenarios to find catharsis
- Obliviousness
Learning Things The Hard Way
Most people have to learn things for themselves, rather than following instruction. This especially is the case for emotionally involved situations (such as love), but can apply in any situation. For a neurocognitive basis for this, some people are predominantly No-Go learners, whereas others are Go learners; this predisposition is genetic, and affects dopamine expression in the reward centers of the brain.
No-Go learners respond best to negative consequences; Go learners respond best to positive outcomes. Someone who always learns the hard way might be a No-Go Learner.
Fixation/Obsession
Nothing will make you keep hitting your head against a brick wall like being fixated/obsessed by someone/something. It'll encourage tunnel vision, and make you lose sight of the big picture and get lost in the details.
Repeating Scenarios To Find Catharsis
People have a tendency to repeat traumatic events in their lives so that they can change the outcome of that experience - or at least process it. This may cause someone to keep acting out seemingly strange behaviors, which lead to a negative conclusion - until they can break the cycle (or find a safe way to discharge the emotional payload and process it).
This is particularly common in people who have PTSD and may be tied to specific circumstances, or anniversaries of events - even if they're not consciously aware of the connection.
Obliviousness
Maybe they're just not paying attention to what they need to be to help them? You should probably give them a nudge in the right direction.
Ahem.

Christianity was a religion born of a feeling that there was no prospect of successful revolt or rebellion against the status quo that kept the poor poor.
Christianity was a religion born of the revelation that there was something much better than a revolt or rebellion against the status quo that kept the poor poor. Salvation of the soul rather than simple temporary bodily satisfaction.

@dustryder
Is that really fake news? To me, fake news is, or at the very least should be news that is nonfactual but is reported as factual.
Exactly. Did you watch the election coverage? That is why all the liberals were so shocked. The fake news reported it all as fact.
Those topics seem more like subjective opinion pieces to me.
Exactly! They report opinion as fact. And the opinion is biased, not based on facts, but on an irrational hatred.
And hopefully we can agree that he, his candidacy and his presidency have been marred with enough controversies that negative opinion is hardly unwarranted or a surprise.
Untrue. First, it was the media who stirred up fake controversies. For example, where is the collusion? And the negative opinions preceded his presidency. That you can say this now is a perfect example of the fake news.

Lol. If he does, then he confirms he is racist. A graceful racist, but one none-the-less.
Who gets to decide what is fake news?
The one with empirical evidence that the news is fake.
The "news" said,
Trump would lose
The economy would tank if he won
The stock market would crash if he won
He would raise taxes on the poor
He had colluded with Russia
Unemployment would increase
Wages would go down
He would not keep his campaign promises
He was a racist
His presidency would be a disaster
Not a single one of these things the media breathlessly reported was true. For liberals, journalists are incapable of being wrong or of breaking the law. Or, the law doesn't apply to them. We know better.
The media is mostly fake news. That is an empirical fact.

@SkepticalOne
Conservatives believe man was created in God's image, while liberals believe they are gods. All of the behavioral tics of the liberals proceed from their godless belief that they can murder the unborn because they, the liberals, are themselves gods. They try to forcibly create "equality" through affirmative action and wealth redistribution because they are gods. They flat-out lie, with no higher power to constrain them, because they are gods. They adore pornography and the mechanization of sex because man is just an animal, and they are gods. They revere the U.N. and not the U.S. because they aren't Americans — they are gods.
This is an observation by Ann Coulter, and though she is specifically talking about liberals here, she might as well be talking about atheists. This is the underlying reason for their error.
This is the trick Adam fell to, "If you eat it, you will be like God." And the error Satan fell to, "I will be like God."
I see now that the sin is not in just wanting to be God, but in that if you elevate yourself to God, you start behaving as if you are God, but since you aren't, you abuse other people and dishonestly impersonate God.
The easy out is to simply say, there isn't any God.

You are a very unusual person in that your positions on issues are not readily apparent in your posts. I don't think you hide your position, you just seem to genuinely be one of those people who aren't militant at all.

The idea is stupid.
calling your opponent stupid or racist is poor conduct.
I called the idea stupid. But if you conclude that only stupid people have stupid ideas, I wouldn't blame you. And if my opponent is racist, I will call him that.
The US has a big army.
Not big enough. Right now, the US can't even win or hold Afghanistan or Iraq. Check the size of the US army and do the calculations.
We spend about 12x more on out military then Africa and Our GDP is 9x as big. Invading Africa is from a military standpoint is easy to do.
You are speaking from ignorance. America's military budget dwarfed Vietnam, yet they lost. If it took an average of a week to invade and subdue each African country, controlling the continent would take more than a year, and a week is being ridiculously optimistic. Nigeria has more than 100 million, how big a force do you think that would need to keep the territory?
I am in neither of these groups.
If you think so, then you aren't very self aware.

Your "impressions" of Christianity are from the perspective of an anti-theist, don't trust them.
Christianity has never hidden the fact that it is progressively revelatory. Adam did not know that God would rectify his fall with a sacrifice of His own son. Abraham did not know that God would bring His children out of Egypt with Moses, David did not know Jesus would come again. Even John was told by God not to record certain facts because it was not time.
Because clearly God could not give us everything at once. So you need not resort to your "impressions", the reasons why are there for people who take the time to read it.

The idea is stupid. America would have to invade and win 65 different countries. How long would that take? And each country won would need troops stationed there to keep the territory, lowering the total number of soldiers for further invasions.
America doesn't have enough soldiers to invade and hold 65 countries. Only 2 groups think this is possible, the ignorant, who know nothing about Africa except what they've see in old National Geographic programs, and racists.

America is not able to invade and take over the whole of Africa. Africa is 65 different countries and bigger by a good than the entire united states even with Alaska thrown in. It would start a world war that America would either have to resign or destroy Africa and make it unfit for life.
But you are right that Africa would be better governed and more prosperous if America took it over.
@--> triangle.128k
Yeah man, it surely was better for the Africans to be degenerates practicing rape and FGM rather than Christians teaching them modesty.
Rape was virtually unheard of in ancient Africa. FGM came from the Muslims who invaded Africa, it is not originally an African practise.
Africans back then dressed more modestly than many western countries do today. At least in Africa, women were not objectified so that everything became about sex and titillation.
When the first white and black men met, the black guy thought, "A new person! We must treat him with dignity and kindness." The white guy thought, "A new person! I can force him to be my slave." Which one is degenerate?
African cities had no bars on windows, no jails, no police, and no locks, and there was no burglary. Western cities were comparatively like prisons. Who's degenerate?
By the actual meaning of degenerate that is.
