That’s a fine outlook in a general sense, but it’s not going to be much help in deciding economic/political policies.

And I would say that those exceptions (which I am completely for) compromise the anti-abortion argument. Taking a good hard look at what you believe in is something that everyone should do, but at the end of the day you still have to believe in something.

What I’m saying is that the things you’re saying to him are besides the point. HamNo’s argument has nothing to do with how or why people believe what they do. You’re arguing a different topic.

You started out by saying, “this is bullshit” and talking about people holding onto their beliefs despite contradictory evidence being the reason for why our political environment sucks. I pointed out that that isn’t what HamNo is talking about, he’s saying that bipartisanship is a farce and should go away. You then…

Yes but some things can’t be compromised on. If you believe that abortion is murder then how can you compromise on that issue without destroying the moral values on which that belief is based?

So you called his article bullshit, then continued to restate the article’s main point as your response? Is that the story you’re going with?

people investing their personal beliefs to such a degree that facts and evidence become irrelevant to them

I’m curious to know what you the think the effects of lower taxes and smaller government will have on things like education, infrastructure, welfare, monopolistic competition, and our geopolitical presence. I just don’t see how a country as large as the United States can function with libertarian policies. It’s one of…

Normalcy in this case is referring to her mental health in comparison to others and not how high she normally gets, dummy.

I was really surprised by how bad Fantastic Beasts was. The writing was horribly lazy compared to the Harry Potter series.

Saric seems like a pretty decent passer as well. They have a lot of weapons, time to see if they can use them together.

I thought their need was at SG if anything, unless they think Sauce Castillo is the answer. Wasn’t the plan for Simmons to run as a point forward with Sauce, Covington, Saric, and Embiid as the lineup?

I’m still mad about the way they handled Wade’s departure, but I gotta say that I love this young Heat team. Dragic is one of my favorite players and seeing Waiters and JJ turn themselves into legit weapons has been fun. They play with just as much swagger as the Big 3 era Heat. If only Bosh was still healthy.

I could understand cocaine and maybe MDMA, but you don’t take heroin to feel a “semblance of normalcy”.

It’s another testament to how loaded with talent the league is today. I mean Durant and Curry were 2nd team All-NBA this year. Jesus Christ. How many players can you say are more dangerous than George as two way players? Durant, LeBron, Kawhi, Davis, maybe Butler. That’s pretty good company. He’d be the perfect…

Where did the tomato troll go?

He’s not making fun of West for it, he’s pointing out that his life hasn’t been all sunshine and roses.

And then they proceed to change their name to The Blacks.

That doesn’t mean that they aren’t dangerous. A gun that isn’t presently shooting someone is still dangerous. Ideas and the people who think them are intertwined. They are the reason why we’re at the top of the food chain. Another way to put this. Why are people dangerous? Because they have ideas.
