Well my dumb ass, once again put my foot in mouth… and I'm moving to yet another different city. #FML

I think you some details for us.

Hell, no. I just woke up and am on my last cup of coffee.

You should clear your history before you leave for work.

Yup, I can verify. Over here they only showed them spooning the food to the fish. It wasn't a story at all because nothing happened.

Thanks for the full video. I'm going to post it to FB.

@Frederick:

Frankly.. the once great Disney parks are now obsolete.  Drive-in movie theaters are gone… Circuses are gone... World Fairs are gone.. most carnivals are gone.. state fairs are pretty much gone.. it might be the time to pull the plug on theme parks.

No. Absolutely not. If anything, the standards set by Disney are what killed everything you mentioned but the Drive-in.

Theme parks are fantastic but expensive. There are several here that are amazing, including Disneyland and Disneysea.

And how is it you know that Disney hasn't opened their Hall of Presidents because of Trump? Unless they've said so it's speculation.

Salted. I'm not big on sweets.

Fermented vegetables (like kim chi) or fresh vegetables (served raw like a green salad).

Nope. I'm the best of the best in all ways. If anything, I'm too nice and too loyal.

TPBM doesn't act out their hopes and aspirations.

@raphjd:

So, I'm not paying but everyone is paying.   So none of my money is part of "everyone's money".   Yeah, ok.

Originally, I was pointing out that we don't need PP because, even the vaginalists admitted before Congress, the same services are provided elsewhere.

After that, I was talking about your reason that we NEED abortions and how that is just as fucked up as your reason for justifying murdering innocent men to prevent crime.

Let's keep the death penalty in that other thread.

If the bolded is too abstract for you, well, then it's too abstract. Either you understand and you're being stubborn because you dislike admitting you're wrong or you can't conceptualize that it's not just your money but everyone's money and so any statement that begins with some variation of "I'm paying for" is inflammatory rhetoric that is attempting to argue from emotion.

As for PP, with the number of anti-abortion laws being put on the books across the US PP might very well be the last option for women to get an abortion. I have not researched it but that seems to be what the general theme I'm hearing, which sounds probable.

As to abortions, they are needed. There are some states where there are only one or two abortion clinics. They might not be needed in large urban areas but in the bible belt and midwest there seems to be a need.

@raphjd:

I have repeatedly commented on your idiotic rubbish.   You are advocating executing innocent men to prevent crimes.

As for the rest of it, stop playing up to the leftists here.

No, you have not. Not even once.

Fred, by contrast, knew quickly what I was talking about and made his statement. Let me say it yet again. Justice sits on a continuum. At one end you free the maximum number of people to prevent the incarceration of the maximum number of the innocent. At the other end you punish all the guilty but in so doing incarcerate some innocent people. There is no other way. This has been a topic for millennia.

I've explained (repeatedly) my position. You have not addressed yours. To say zero innocent people is not an option – it is impossible unless you have a justice system and no one is ever prosecuted.

What you have been doing is taking my position and throwing out extremes then trying to shame me by saying normal people don't do that, or some variation. In so doing, you continue to mimic the argument style of the SJW who holds up the extreme case and says our justice system must be one that protects even this person, aka the arguement for Political Correctness.

@Mcjl:

Who is loving this new season and triumphant return to network tv.  #LOVE.
#HILARIOUS.

You might get more responses if you post this in tv section. It'll likwly get lost here.

You have a wife? And a boyfriend? I'm confused are they one in the same or different people?

TPBM doesn't lead a simple life.

You should post your pics in the food section here. If there's not already a post for it, make one.

Yes, I should eat your food but you're too far away.

You should create a new topic somewhere on this site.

I've never used cider to make steak sauce. I've used beer a couple of times though.

Having the grilled meat of your choice with just salt or sauce?

@raphjd:

It is a slippery slope where we start executing innocent people to POSSIBLY prevent repeat offenses.

Your idiotic way of solving the problem of "repeat offenders" is to kill innocent men, because let's get real, we rarely kill women for their crimes due to the pussy pass.

I didn't call you a cuck unless you feel yourself to be a feminist cuck.    I was talking about you and feminists, including their cucks. If you feel you are a feminist cuck, then oh well.

HOWEVER, I do feel that you should get some of the wonderful justice you are willing to dole out onto other people and their families.    If this shit you are willing to throw on other families is so good, then you should wish that it happened to you and your loved ones too.

Your idea is shit and it takes a morally fucked up person to even suggest that.

As I said before, you continue to evade the actual argument I put out there. I assume the idea is either too abstract for you to contemplate or you can't defend the position you'd have to take and so you're throwing around insulting language (as in the bold above) to avoid taking a position.

I mentioned cuck because when you get frustrated in arguments this way of speaking is your MO. I dislike it. I work with high school children who are better spoken and so I've come to expect it in civil conversations. I know you can do it. I've seen it. I've been on the receiving end of it but as you've been growing irate you're tending towards insults, ignoring the actual topics, and throwing out the extremes. If you have a real argument to make, then the mean will prove you right. If not, then you're unintentionally following the same methods of the SJWs and feminists you claim to despise.

You can do better.

To the second post where I quote you claiming the world will end, you really have trouble admitting that you said something too extreme. Instead of acknowledging it and moving on you decide to blame me for your words. Take responsibility.

@raphjd:

You clearly do support "fishing net justice" with your crap about executing innocent men prevents repeat offenders.

…I noticed you dropped this bit from your previous argument.

You continue to drop the main topic about justice and the topic of the death penalty. You can't answer the question and you don't want to admit you're wrong so you evade it again and again and again, or so it is beginning to appear.

One more time, justice sits on a continuum. In Dothraki, they would say, it is known. I chose one and you chose the other. It's a simple as that but you refuse to acknowledge what I'm actually talking about. If you don't have an opinion about what I'm talking about, say so. If you're not interested in jurisprudence, say so. If the topic is over your head, don't deflect as you're doing.

@raphjd:

How is GWB refusing to delay that execution by 30 days to wait for the DNA test a bad thing?  It's not and people like you have no problem with it.    The man was fucking proven innocent 3 weeks after he was executed by the state.     I bet you beat your dick when you think about that, based on your posts.

On the topic of the death penalty, I'm not arguing about individual cases. I'm speaking in general, which is to say, I'm speaking from the mean, not the extremes (where your arguments lie [please notice the pun]).

@raphjd:

Your argument about tax money is not me paying for something is bullshit, again.

I'll give you a little hint, tax money comes from people paying taxes, which is money.  Taxes aren't cheese or the odd socks that are left over every time you do laundry.  It's actually money that people are forced to give to the government.

Your examples are bullshit on their very face because no one made that claim; direct ownership.    If you want to continue this line of blatant crap, you will have to show me where I said I personally own the front door or any other physical item at PP.

And AGAIN, why do we have to pay for their stuff?!    They don't pay for my rights, but I have to pay for theirs.

You don't like to admit when you're wrong, do you? You should work on that.

Notice how your language has changed from singular to plural. What you say here is correct PEOPLE are paying, not you. Whether you like it or not, we speak a common tongue and when you phrase your statements "I pay for…" you are claiming direct ownership. Of course, in common parlance we understand exactly what you mean but the rhetorical device is meant to beat a drum of how you, you, you are affected.

Why does it matter? Because other people paid taxes into our communal system, too. YOU are not sole decider of what is done with OUR taxes.

So what exactly is it that you find offensive about PP? You're sending mixed signals. At one time your using abortion as a proxy for capital punishment at others you're talking about the services already existing. Personally, you sound like you lost your train of thought.

@hylas:

If a text outlines rules about slavery (eg how they should or shouldn't be treated), and never once condemns slavery, then yeah, that text endorses slavery. Not saying all contemporary christians endorse slavery – in fact I'm pretty sure the vast majority doesn't -- but the bible does endorse slavery.

I'm grumbling under my breath but you're right.

For me, slavery always goes back to what we did to the blacks from the 1500's. That wasn't endorsed. Also, slavery was, more or less, an economic model. Modern times have wage slavery whereby we push to get people to do ever more work for even lower pay. Hey, there's a question for this thread:

Salaried work ideas grew out of the feudal societies which were oriented around western religion (to my understanding). Communist ideas grew out of an atheist ethic. Do religious or atheists create a more moral business culture?

@raphjd:

If you are butt hurt about repeat offenders, then execute everyone who commits any sort of crime.

Maybe you should look at crime stats and advocate executing the worst of the worst, like they do with dogs.   A few dogs do a few bad things, so we kill the entire breeds.

Now I really do hope you get your wish and you wrongly get executed.  Then again, NO.  I hope it happens to someone you care about, so you can be around to tell us how wonderful it was that your loved one was wrongly executed.

If we don't execute everyone, except the last human on earth, then how are we to be sure that a crime won't be committed.

You've stopped making sense.

You either don't know how to respond to what I'm asking so you created a slippery slope where we all go extinct or you're tired and should go to bed. Either way, I'm disappointed in you. You can come across as reasonable and well-spoken but other times your thoughts are scattered and you throw out personal attacks (I hope it happens to you, cucks, etc). You can – and have -- done better than this. We're not engaging in a video game with winners, losers, attack strategies. I'm here to exchange ideas and discuss them. When you're once again able to do that post back.

Nope. The opposite of a bad guy.  ;D

The person below me is single.

Diet means eating less food to lose weight.

I should brush my teeth shortly. It's time to go to the gym so I won't need a diet.

You should come home early from work today.

If it's a boxed cereal, the fruit. If it's the toasted cereals (wheat berries, quinoa, amaranth) that I make in my kitchen for a bowl of cereal, then my home puffed cereal.  ;D

Black coffee, coffee with milk, coffee with sugar, coffee with milk and sugar? (sometimes this and that doesn't cut it)

@raphjd:

You believe in "net fishing" justice or the "kill them all, god will know his own" crap.     Maybe I should start wishing people like you get the justice you demand others suffer.

I don't believe in "net fishing justice". I'm telling you, factually, that there is a continuum of justice and even if you refuse to look at it the two choices I laid before you, they are exactly what every governing body, without exception, has had to choose from. If you are inclined, I suggest you read up on jurisprudence to see how different authors have presented their cases. Fred seems to have looked into it a bit.

Looking at your posts as a whole, you are angry that SJWs have made racism and rape cases require less proof so that more innocent people are harmed while the rest of the justice system requires more proof so that the guilty more often go free.

@raphjd:

Tax money is used to fund PP, I pay taxes, therefore I pay to fund PP. 
 
Kim Davis has nothing to do with this.   She was an office holder who violated her oath of office.  NOT THE SAME THING.

Fine. Kim Davis was a poor example. The idea still that you don't personally fund all the operations of the government is still valid. Let me show you why:

• I am a taxpayer. I pay for the police; therefore, I want you, the police, to arrest this man for rape and prosecute him to the full extent of the law because I pay for the judicial system, too.

• I pay my tuition for this campus. I own this gate. I can say who can and can not pass through it. My brothers and sisters agree, so walk around.

• My taxes paid for these roads. How dare you clog them when I need to get to work. Move out of my way immedietely.

• My consumption taxes pay for this hospital so I should have a say about who gets treatment for what. I believe AIDS is a curse from God, so I demand my tax dollars be pulled from this hospital and this research.

These arguments sustain themselves on ego. I know you can do better than this.

Why should your tax dollars pay for abortion? They don't. The pool of monies collected by the government for all our benefits is used to fund PP and other organizations. So what exactly is your argument against PP? Is it only that it's a talking point for the opposing side? There are other places where they can perform such services? Fine. That's valid. As I said before, I have little interest in the topic, so I'm not doing the research to find out if this is true or not. What I have to weigh in my mind are the number of people who insist that they need these services, that some of these clinics are the only access some women have to birth control and abortion, true or not. That latter argument is more convincing to me, so I side with them – for now.
