Did we diseased US Imperialists kill "millions" of Muslims prior to 9/11/2001 when we were attacked by Islamic terrorists?  Yes the US government armed dictators and the enemies of the Muslims and bombed their countries killing hundreds of thousands or millions prior to 9/11. Is your post...

If thousands of subjects of the US Government are murdered by Muslims, it will be because they didn't stop their government from murdering millions of Muslims, supporting and installing their dictators, and arming and supporting their enemies (Israeli government). Why aren't Swiss citizens at risk?...

If that soft landing happened, it would be a miracle, given the political situation and the dependence of the economy on money-printing. It's impossible. The government can't cut spending in nominal terms because we live in the People's Democratic Republic of Socialist States of Amerika. The nomina...

I'm not a tin-foil hat guy, don't believe in conspiracy theories, and strongly support the idea of capitalism and free markets, but this shadow banking system (derivatives, rehypothification) really does make me sick. The banking sector is a creation of the government. It has nothing to do with the...

If I abstain from having sex with a random girl, there was maybe only a 1 in 10,000 chance that sex would have resulted in a pregnancy and viable birth. TB if those are the real stats I have to ask if you're doing it the correct way biologically. That is more than once per day with a random girl fo...

I've got a great recipie for BRK with steamed mussles in a white wine sauce.

A vast amount of contracts are not enforced by government. Look at all the backroom deals made by politicians illegally. By definition they are not enforceable by government, yet they happen all the time and are wildly successful. See, the government itself proves you don't need government to enforc...

Worrying about criminal cops is so far down on my list. With the massive threat from Islamic jihadist terrorist madmen such as ISIS it pales by comparison. Just today I've been reading about their plans to weaponize the bubonic plague, use undetectable explosives sewn into their bodies in simultane...

Why be constrained by all these so-called moral choices; if it's inconvenient or expensive, kill it.  This could apply to the unborn, the recently born, grandparents that have outlived their usefulness, etc.  Why are you getting hung up on morality, when morality is obviously subjective and loaded ...

No, you are right, other than that the CHF is actually about $1.10 at present. Thanks Tech, no one else would help out.

Maybe we need fewer trees occupying nice farmland that could be used to drop the cost of food.

Do we not already have this?  We have so many welfare programs, you cannot name them all.  I see able bodied, 20-somethings in convenience stores with EBT cards all the time. Looks to me like they're getting free money.    Section 8 housing (+7 other HUD programs), Food stamps, medicaid, free schoo...

Nothing can be as "slam dunk" as taking 20 premises over dozens of pages to prove something that should just be so simple and obvious to everyone :). Consider the audience. It took 10 pages to get most people to agree that they themselves exist. That is still undetermined! There is plenty...

The fact is that an unbiased mind looking at the evidence cannot help bit conclude that evolution is by far the most plausible explanation for how humans got here. That fact is that's your opinion.
