People tell me get off the fence. OK, once and for all give me your best argument for why I should side Conservative or side Liberal. I can't promise I'll go either way. In fact I'll probably not be persuaded, because I've heard your sides ad nauseam. But hey, you've got nothing to lose. And potentially you could gain a voice for your side on this site. (And hint, insulting me or moderates is not a good strategy for winning someone over to your side).
(And this can be fun for all whether you're for or against him). What would it take for you to abandon all support for him? Examples if you're a conservative for him: if he flipped Democrat, or atheist, or pro-choice? Examples if you're a liberal against him: closing down free press, starting a nuclear war, ruining your healthcare. What is your tipping point, or are you already past it?
The earliest gospels are over 20 years after Christ's death. https://www.bc.edu/schools/stm/crossroads/resources/birthofjesus/intro/the_dating_of_thegospels.html
Under what criteria do you support a people seceding?
Various places around the world there are minorities within larger countries who would like to split off. Typically the parent country says no, that's illegal. Yet history is full of celebrated examples where a group did succeed. So what does it take to get your vote that yes a group can secede. Here's a recent example. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41588819
If the major events of 2017 were happening under an alternate President of the USA what then would you think? Let's list a few: 1) Worst mass shooting in history in Nevada, 2) Hurricane ruins and the responses in Texas, Florida, and Puerto Rico, 3) N Korea escalation, 4) Near total gridlock in Congress (and more). If the President were: Obama, Clinton, Sanders, Christie, Paul, you name it, what would you be saying about that President's performance?
Just help me to understand. If you're on one end of the political spectrum (let's say very conservative) and you want to persuade your staunchest opponents to join your side, shouldn't you expect them to pass through stages of moderate before they can get to you? Would a liberal lion truly flip to card carrying conservative overnight? Wouldn't hey have to soften and moderate first? And if so, then shouldn't staunch conservatives or liberals embrace the fact there are moderates? Because without moderates where would they draw from?
The Scoville capsaicin heat scale ranges from zero to oh 2.5 mil or so. Jalapeno is well under 10K. At the highest levels you'd be eating essentially weaponized pepper spray. Are the folks who (attempt to) do so respectable, macho, masters of the pepper. Or are they simply ridiculous?
It's coming. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41035201. Should we hail it as a way to not put people directly into fighting, or fear it as a cold efficient way to eliminate people, period?
Here is a breakdown of what groups are present and active in every state, as well as a pie chart of the different issues they are concerned about. http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/17/us/hate-groups-us-map-trnd/index.html
With N Korea, how far are you willing to back Trump?
a) Rhetoric only, b) Even more sanctions, c) Skirmishes, d) Targeted assassination and/or nuclear program preemptive strike, e) Full on front line warfare, d) mutual nuclear strikes, e) world war. And if you say d and e, how many US cities getting nuclear bomb annihalation is an acceptable price.
Lots of animals are impacted by tempterature, not only in terms of climate but also the ratio of males to females in their offspring. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20170808-climate-change-is-disrupting-the-birds-and-the-bees
When election times come around, any and every complaint against a Republican in office is going to try to be deflected by a shield of that was "Trump". Either because Trump did something, or did not do something. The commercials and campaign rhetoric will be birdshot aimed at him. And since Trump is so keen on his media image and a winning persona it will drive him nuts.
Chinese ChatBot XiaoBing autonomously stated it would like to travel to the USA. Should we welcome it with open arms? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-robots-idUSKBN1AK0G1
There are many plot twists on zombie infestation stories and not all involve the dead rising. Some are based on highly contagious infections, or mass hysteria from some sort of stimuli. Could something comparable to a zombie apocalypse movie actually happen?
Like him or hate him, you have to admit there is more material for a John McCain Hollywood movie than for half the life story movies they put out now. Soldier, prisoner of war, candidate for President with Sarah Palin, Senator, who comes back after cancer surgery to give the thumbs down to a major Trump Republican push. What do you think that movie will be like? Who might play him?
Here is a world comparison. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/26/trump-claims-america-has-the-highest-taxes-in-the-world.html?recirc=taboolainternal. How can conservatives get away with claiming taxes are crushing us and/or that we've gone full blown socialist already.
