If the industry didn’t stand to profit from this, they wouldn’t have fought for this so hard, pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into lobbying and misinformation.

Care to wager your law degree on that?

Yeah... nah, I’m fairly certainly a little swipe to your head doesn’t warrant a knock out punch. You don’t want to get swung at by drunk people, don’t be a cop.

So, I advise you to read the story again. First, that is a student health center, not a trauma center. It appears that they were lacking in resources. That is why they had to transport him to another hospital, likely in Indy.

Indiana is an absolute shit hole. They love to brag about their state budget surplus, but that’s because they don’t put anything into support for low income people or state resources. That’s why it is it a Republican’s dream and a perfect example of why their economic plan is a crock of shit.

Because it hasn’t been proven to be false. That is exactly why there is a federal investigation into it as we speak. To be clear, no one is really sure what the ties are or if there are even any ties between Trump and Russia or if it was just people around him, such as Manafort, but where there is smoke there is…

You are welcome to share an example and explain why it is “fake” news. Facts are fairly easy to determine a lot of the time. The difference between the fake new reported on the right and the left, is that the “fake” news of the left tends to be just errors that are later retracted or corrected (otherwise known as…

Facts?

That is fair enough.

Do you realize how foolish you look? Do you believe every conservative meme that comes across your Facebook feed?

Honestly, $1,000 for a pocket computer capable of doing what it does is not a bad value in my mind, but compared with similarly spec’d phones (ie not the Note 8), it is not a great value.

They are not comparable. The Note 8 is a different class of phone. It is bigger by a half inch, it has more processing power, it has a stylus and is focussed on multi-tasking. They are not comparable. They are completely different value positions. The S8 is the comparable product and is at least $250 less.

You could certainly argue about the terms, but free market capitalists are most often Conservatives, so...

No, the only thing they are close in is price, but that is not a fair comparison. The screen on the note 8 is half an inch bigger, it has a more powerful processor, and is much more for multi-tasking.

That is not a good argument. There is nothing about iOS that makes it any better than Android, so it makes no sense to pay more for it just because Apple makes their own operating system. I’ve used them all. My first smartphone was a Blackberry. Then, I had an iPhone. Then, I had Windows phone.

No, the iPhone X is the exact same size as the S8 and is much closer in processing power. The iPhone X and Note 8 are not comparable phones.

The difference between the approach of liberals and conservatives is pretty simple. Conservatives say that you have options for restitution if something is done to you. Liberals say that if we can prevent something from happening, we should.

Just because you say it doesn’t make it true. The iPhone X is the same size as the S8. They are similarly spec’d in every way. The only thing that makes the x and the note 8 comparable is that they are both the top of the line for their respective companies. That doesn’t make them comparable. That just means that…

You wouldn’t want to argue that because it would be a terrible argument. “I pay X company more for doing extra work, so therefore it is worth the extra money.” That makes no sense.

The Galaxy S8 is similarly spec’d and is $725. The S8 Note is a better, more powerful phone and is still $75 less. Not a stretch at all. You pay extra for a logo. That’s fine.
