I kindof am a conspiracy theorist. What's wrong with that?
It's easier than thinking.

I don't believe climate change is real at all, but I am willing to argue with you about this ONLY if you are willing to believe that climate change is a hoax. Otherwise, there is no point in me wasting my energy on people who are unwilling to deny climate change's existence.

No need to add jobs when the cheap labor is being deported.
Did you get an economics degree from Trump University?
Donald Trump's disastrous governance has successfully tanked America's labor market, the economy only added 22,000 jobs in August, meaning there are more unemployed people than there are jobs. 1.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also revised down the numbers from June to show there was negative job growth for the first time since...well, since the last time Trump tanked the economy.
Time to fire people over at BLS AGAIN, for the crime of telling the truth, which is strictly verboten in this administration.
Interesting article, I think 1,3, and 8 are the biggies. What do you think?

How about a lunar eclipse, do you recall if you saw a lunar eclipse around the time the frog came to you?
Have you ever seen a total solar eclipse?
Here is a post from last night on social media from the president of the United States:
"As previously mentioned, we are giving serious thought to taking away Rosie O’Donnell’s Citizenship. She is not a Great American and is, in my opinion, incapable of being so!"
Did you see the picture? He also posted a doctored picture of Rosie O'Donnell, this is from the official White House account of the President of the United States, unbelievable.
Rosie's response was perfect:
"“I'm the distraction. Epstein survivors are the reckoning and your gold lamé throne is melting,”
He had just gotten engaged at the end of DebateArt, probably just has no time.
Also, his fiancé was Canadian and liberal (that's redundant), maybe she read his posts and threatened to bitch slap him if he ever even logged in again. Of course, considering the way he posted, he must have enjoyed getting bitch slapped.
Maybe she threated to withhold intimacy, that would do it.
He became a professional protestor, now he works for George Soros,
I want to see the day you achieve the collection of 8B people together who all think alike. That's Marxist nonsense, by the way, but whatever floats your boat.
If you can say President Vance with a straight face, that's fine, the whole world will laugh at you too.
Why should I not judge a book by its cover? The cover literally tells me what the book is.
Initially, it's all we have to go by.
To get people to read a book, first you need to get them to buy the book, if the cover gets you to read the book blurb and then buy the book, it's a good cover.
I think most book covers are pretty good at representing the book.
So, moving on to more important issues...Is Trump dead or playing golf?
He's not dead yet, but he's fading fast.
No way he serves his full term, between cognitive decline, failing health, impeachment, 25th amendment, a military coup, and insurrection, and the possibility that a true patriot shoots his sorry ass, I give him less than 1% chance of serving 4 years.
One of these days the whole world will need to learn how to say 'President Vance" without laughing, that's not gonna be easy.
How did you miss Ezekiel 1?
Simply stated, the Rare Earth hypothesis suggests that the very unique conditions of Earth that allowed complex life to arise and flourish are exceptionally uncommon — and they’re unlikely to widely occur throughout the universe.
Oh, pulease FLRW, we both know the universe is pretty damn big, there are probably a trillion or more planets with similar enough conditions for complex life to evolve.
Now let's look at it statistically, so far intelligent life has evolved on 100% of these planets that we have been able to observe. How exactly do you arrive at the conclusion that there is a total of 1 planet with intelligent life.
Show me your math.
Why didn't he just run for your president in 2024 if he is so great for America?
To do that he would have had to run in and win the Democratic Primary...and there wasn't a Democratic Primary.
C'mon Man!
It's just incel blather.
Who is Gavin?
Gavin Newsom is the Governor of California, it's over three years off but he's the favorite to be the Democratic Presidential candidate, nobody can even think of who might be in second place.
Anyway, he's been trolling Trump for a couple weeks, mimicking his posts to make fun of him, it's making the Republican snowflakes cry like little girls, it's making trump have tantrums, and it's just been hilarious.
The OP quotes one of his posts.
Q: Three women, one with almost no back arch, one with moderate back arch, and one with extreme back arch, which does a man pick?
A: The one with the largest breasts.
I didn't realise you were an OAP too.
Though technically I'm not an OAP until May 2026
I had to look up OAP, but yeah, I just retired in July and turned 70 this month. Still still wake up trying to think of something to do.
And my daughters are older than Taylor Swift.
And I am more into prog rock, and modern manifestations thereof.
And I've heard of but never l listened to Norah Jones, so I will do so next time I peruse Youtube.
Though I have listened to her father and sister...Not that I'm a big fan of the sitar.
I have also had the misfortune of listening to Dad and Sis, difference between a sitar and an onion, nobody cries when you chop up a sitar.
And for sure Debby, I have long since adopted the easier option and not bothered to keep up with what is trending.
Same here, for me the big news from the music world is Dylan went electric.
Atheists and believers alike try to reduce religion to a sort of argumentative and speculative science, as if God ought to be another fact that we can record and document. I find it ironic that so many atheists, who claim they just have no belief whatsoever, believe so strongly that God, if there is a God, must be the sort of being the sciences could describe, making differences in the world that we can test and verify. Most internet atheists at least, insist that God must be a cause whose effects we can discover by experiment and observation. Many of the most devout atheists who hold this completely faith-based belief about God, are actively proselytizing their faith on the internet, which strikes me as a strange activity for a group that insists, they simply have no beliefs about God. I will add that the result of this belief, perhaps even the motivation for it, is to declare themselves more logical, intelligent, and scientific than the believers they see as holding competing beliefs.
The simple and undeniable fact is the Theistic conclusion in not logically coercive, the human experience of reality is theistically ambiguous, which is to say that the human experience can be interpreted religiously or naturalistically with equal rational justification. That is why it has always been referred to as a matter of faith, but for those who choose it, it does provide a rationally satisfying way of making sense of the broadest possible band of human experience, of uniting in a single account, the rich and many layered encounter that we have with a reality that is experienced as full of value, meaning, and purpose.
The basis of faith is not inferential reason, it is personal encounter with a personal, moral, liberating, and transcendent power and presence. And because our state of conscious awareness is a feature that trumps all others in the matter of epistemic authority, for the believer, there is no validity to arguments that try to deny this encounter.
If true intelligence involves the ability to view and understanding widely different things from multiple different perspectives, an aptitude for grasping a wide range of truths, relationships, and meanings, and the capacity for abstract and symbolic thought, then it follows logically that the contention that one can reduce reality to only one of its modes, to know it in only one of its forms, is an unintelligent claim.
Science does not contend that reality can be reduced to a single ontological level, on the contrary, science asserts that reality is in fact, multileveled, it asserts that the four dimensions of existence that we call reality, are contingent and relative to a greater reality of more dimensions, there is a transcendent reality of which we cannot have certain knowledge, and which can only be expressed metaphorically. Consequently, the belief that the believer is in some way being “unscientific” is unfounded.
If you're not capable of violence you're not peaceful. you're harmless. Important distinction.
I saw this posted recently, what say you all? Is it fair to call radical nonviolence as not peaceful?
No, it's not, whoever posted that is a violent person who wants to look down on us peaceful people.
I want to kick his ass.
I've never heard a Taylor Swift tune.
I don't think I have either.
Though I have seen the character, and it's a tad too sickly looking for my taste.
Not my type either, by about 50 years, my sons are older than her.
Though for sure, it's marketed well and aimed at sycophants of a certain age, who's parents have enough disposable income to waste on their kids.
Yep, she definitely knows what she's doing, a billionaire at 34, not bad for a girl LOL.
Enjoy.
If I listened to Taylor Swift, I'd feel like I was cheating on Nora Jones,
Are there newts in your area, all the best spells require eye of newt.
Why should Taylor Swift be debated. She is a very successful singer and performer.
Yeah, that would be why she has fans, and this thread is about having "fan theory debates".
