Horseshit back at you. Cause and effect are never irrelevant. Denying the fact that human behavior is determined largely by emotions and the hormones those emotions stimulate does not argue in Wilson's favor. He had different options to the actions he took and if judged by pure logic in a...

The outcome was completely predictable and from everything I've heard probably as close to Justice as was possible given the chaotic nature of the event. The fact that police officers react with the same emotions as civilians is inescapable. I believe Wilson feared for his life and that fear...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their...

Why do you say it should be a simple question to answer for us when Einstein himself couldn't answer it and all the geniuses since with super-computers and super-machines like CERN and super-Telescopes in space like Hubble haven't arrived at the final answers. But the gaps in knowledge are being...

Your question has already been answered. Monkeys did not evolve into Man, they both evolved from a common ancestor as shown by this simplistic diagram; Most evolutionists agree this final split from the common ancestor happened about 25 million yrs. ago. And yes man and monkey are still...

There's just no end to the fun of rubbing the noses of dolts into the shit, the dolts who backed "The Biggest Dolt of All" for an office a heartbeat away from the Presidency. And now? Well she is the Paris Hilton of politics, famous for being infamous.

You're metaphor's on the right track, just a little off...Palin was Dracula and Katie Couric was the rising sun when she asked, then begged Sarah to name one, just one newspaper or news magazine she had ever, ever read, even a glimpse at a headline...but Sarah froze then shriveled and her...

I don't all hate whites because of a sub-group who pathologically assume a God or nature decreed supremacy over all other races. And you shouldn't hate all blacks for perceived weaknesses (legitimate or not) in some black cultures.

What can one say? She's a despicable *****. And you won't understand when others find you despicable for intimating the whole ugly thing happened because she is black.

Your question is probably the most important question human beings will be dealing with for at least the next 50 yrs. True AI has the potential to change the paradigm we have been in since the arrival of homo sapiens on the scene. Right now I'm reading "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzwell...

So it's been four days now since Echick posted this; I S I S Captures Route Irish. This Contradicts Dempsey Saying Iraq Under Control. Her thread title contains two statements that many of us have asked her to give legitimacy by links or direct quotes or any form of proof. Her responses so...

I don't know if it was the OP's intent but this thread has attracted replies like "He's a tyrant, he deserves to be killed". Every President has had an opposition group who truly believed he was a "Tyrant". Think FDR and SCOTUS. Do either we on the left or you on the right believe that in this...

My Lord....The scary thing is (such is the nature of "History Class" in America) I think you actually believe that load of Bull. I'm not even going to try to argue with you, once these lies take hold they are ensconced as cultural truths. I feel compelled though to post a contrarian view...

ilt America and created the greatest country the world has ever seen "All those Mexicans" might also learn that a big chunk of the "greatest country the world has ever seen" was (there's no other way to put it) stolen from their forebears, thanks mainly to James Polk. Polk campaigned for the...

It would be fascinating to be able to read your mind and follow what must be a uniquely labyrinthine trail of logic from near genocide to "multiculturalism". Really? You don't know that the objective of American policy was to drive Native Americans off of land "needed" by white settlers? And...
