CLEARLY, you did not read what I wrote.

No, it literally isn't. Without context, they are just two pictures.

What time was each picture taken? What was the weather? What month was each picture taken? What was the weather before and after each picture was taken?

I can take a picture of the river behind my house at two completely different times in a decade and claim it's never flooded or changed.....and it would be an absolute lie.

Don't rely on meme's to get your information, "you should do the same research for yourself. You won't, but you should."

Amazing how a group of LGBT students criticizing a woman who proclaims to be champion for equity and a defender of minorities, and isn't actually a champion for all minorities,...suddenly becomes OMG LEFTISTS ATTACK DEMOCRATIC MUSLIM FOR BEING ANTI-LGBT.

While your "proof" would certainly be concerning if true, unfortunately it falls under the bull-crap category for alarmist news.

They aren't demanding her head, just requesting a formal apology.

Phew, where to unpack this.

I saw that meme of Sydney Harbour, which is most likely the one you are referring to where the water is the same level. First.

https://climatefeedback.org/claimreview/photo-meme-of-sydney-harbour-incorrectly-claims-no-sea-level-rise-has-occurred/

TLDR: Tides rise and fall, that's not a surprise. Two pictures, taken at different times with NO additional information is not evidence, so taking a picture at different times may indeed show the same water level. Example: if I take a picture of a full cup of water, drink half the water, then refill it to the same level, I can't use that as evidence that I didn't drink from the cup. All you get is two pictures of a cup full of water and nothing else.

Meanwhile, there are hundreds of before and after pictures, which include information and scientific study, that show climate change in action. There are reputable sites (at least more reputable then FOX or a dumbass congressman with a snowball, or any other meme you can find) that have published studies and statements on climate change from 18 scientific associations who concur that it's real:

https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

Look, right or wrong, the people who are deniers won't believe it no matter how many experts come forth, they'll always cling to the one or two people who profess to be experts that'll tell them they don't have to change and say anything they want to hear. Whether it be out of fear or ignorance. My thought is, we know we are having an impact on this planet, anyone who doesn't think that is seriously, incredibly, unquestioningly, stupid. How much of one, is the debate. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to find better, cleaner alternatives for energy and better ways to live where we don't have such a negative impact on the only planet we live on.

Pro-left or pro-right, it's pretty fucking stupid to politicize a real humanitarian crisis, such as climate change and an epidemic.

Because the science doesn't tell them what they want to hear, so they ignore it.

Lol, no. Honestly some righties have been petulant for so long it's hard to say why they are even there anymore. It's certainly not to help America.

Ultimately it doesn't matter who works with Facebook, Facebook is owned by a private company, not the government. A private company has the right to decide if they want to censor or remove content from their site.

No, I get it. Coming at it from a gamer perspective, it's like building your own zerg group or choosing your companion group for pvp/pve. I just can't make money from that, lol.

Ok. I have to ask. What is the appeal of fantasy baseball/football? Is it a gambling thing or what?

Absolutely they should be challenged. Anyone who is a part of the 'manipulative elite' (I like that term) should be challenged or at least what they say should be researched using credible sources. They have a power that few do in that they have a large group of people who listen to them and some who take their opinion as fact when it is simply opinion.

Just as some prominent leftist celeb's and politicians promote themselves as champions of the poor, there are some prominent righties both celeb and politician who have an incredibly warped/jaded view and understanding on how the poor live. The simple fact is, very few if any who have risen in status (both financially and in popularity/power) tend to lose their ability to really realize or understand how 'the other side' lives. If one is going to challenge the social norm for the majority of society, they need to live it. Otherwise it's just blowing hot air to the people who could use help or need change, and not really believing in the message.

I see where you want the topic to focus on and I get it, but I see this topic as an issue that spreads across the board on all sides. Lefty, Righty, Indy....it is a problem that isn't indicative of any one side but is more an issue of elitist's attempting to show those 'beneath' them how they should live, without in fact living said lifestyle themselves. That can range from your example (which I believe is fairly flawed, a black man living in the 'whitest place' can be the beginning of diversity, it doesn't always happens at once) to mega churches refusing to open their doors to the poor and needy at any time but particularly during times of crisis. They have the money and the voice to be far reaching, whether they have the desire to practice what they preach has yet to be seen.

Same as anyone else who does it. If you are going to spend the time preaching about something and condemning others for it, you need to do your best to behave the way you want (or expect) others to emulate.

1 point

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any 'elite' who preaches anything, as being someone who practices what they preach.

1 point

Promote? No.

Display? Sure. Same as heterosexual lifestyles.

Hi there, Are you sure it's mint you put in your tea?

I take it from that load of gobbledegook that you never properly recovered from the psychological damage caused by your long since past menopause period.

How boring.

I haven't yet reached my menopausal period but thank you for being concerned about my bodily functions and age. If that's all you have against what my point was then you either finally understood it or can't argue against it.

If Sleepy Joe started WW3 then I would be going against him unless there is a damn good reason, which my "seasoned" mind can't think of one, for starting another World War.

What is funny is how gung ho you are about a woman putting her face on cookies. Oh dear god no...not...cookies.

HoldingThe Holy Bible has nothing to do with egotism.

I never said it did.

The boarded up windows and battered walls of St. John's Parish Church bear witness to the peaceful nature of the protesters whose watches must have all been miraculously running slow simultaneously as the shrieking, menacing mob managed to miss the 19.00 hours curfew deadline.

Where those peaceful protesters breaking the church where Trump wanted his photo opportunity? No. He choose to tear gas innocent people just so he could get a picture.

Had the baying mob of thugs not been dispersed they would have set upon Trump with catastrophic results.

And you know that for a fact how? OHHH I see now, you think Trump saved the church from something that would certainly have happened....in your mind. Causing pain to others who were peaceful at the time, just to get a picture, was him being a damn hero. My bad. I should have seen that.

Should Trump have used the Bible to advance his political cause?;- NO.

He could have held up the Torah for all I care. My point isn't that he was holding a book and if you think it is then you missed it entirely.

Should Americans face up to the fact that this Biden-Harris administration is the biggest disaster in American history?;- YES.

Yes. All because Harris gave out some cookies with her face on them. Such a disaster.

1 point

Hmmm yes, I can see where you are getting the comparison. Kamala handed out cookies with her face on it, Trump wanted to pose in front of a church holding a bible so he had peaceful protestors tear gassed. Yup, totally the same.

This is a hilarious. One of the most right wing fellas I know is ADDICTED to Starbucks. He loves talking about Trump daily and he usually does it with a fresh Starbucks drink in his hand.

If people want to fork out money to buy from Starbucks, that's their right. It's only exploitation if Starbucks has a monopoly in coffee, which they clearly don't since consumers can make their own at home.

I don't 'think' that's him. His CD profile says he has 4 daughters, the Alberts in RI or born in RI that passed away after his last log in's don't have 4 daughters. Hopefully he's just taking a relaxing vacation or something.

I worry about the housing market. Where we are, people are buying houses within days of them being listed. Now most likely that's because interest rates are low, but I worry that there will be a lot of foreclosures and bankruptcies in the nearby future as well. Same with cars.

It's unfortunate, it really is but how long did people think the moratorium would last? Covid cases are dropping, there are multiple vaccine's out there, the country is slowly going back to how it was, there may be some slight changes but the pause on evictions wasn't going to last forever. Hopefully people are prepared, hopefully people were smart and saved if able, and hopefully there will be continued assistance for those who are really hit hard by what happened.

Maybe he's just sick of all the crazy on these debate sites. I've been distancing myself from them too. Hoping he's ok though, it's rare for him to be gone so long.

It has been a while since he's been on. I hope he's ok too. Do you know if he's on that DebateIsland?

I truly hope not but given how quick people where to storm the capitol and how easily they believe that man's lies, I can't put anything past the fanatic followers of that orange idiot.

Did you read my entire statement or did you just cherry pick something to try to make what was said fit into your "talking point"?
