Zimmerman Verdict In...

But they ARE used to make drugs, but we already covered that.

It's not like Zimmerman knew he had sugary snacks.

Well if I say people are stupid I am not trying to be mean, but accurate.
In case you missed that part of the story, the Trayvon case was not national until Holder (and one can assume, 0bama) sent agitators, so yes 0bama helped initiate it behind the scenes. It was an election year, he needed a good rallying cry. By his "If I had a son" comment he inflamed the situation, i.e. "race baiting". He tried it again with his patronizing, insulting comment a week ago hitting all the stereotypical sob stories about people locking their door, clutching their purses, etc. That was cheesier than a Hallmark original movie, and an attempt to keep the fires stoked. Keep the distractions and animosity going as long as possible, right?

He called 911 before seeing that he was black, but keep going with your series of events. I mean, if not for the creative interpretation and ignoring of reality by about 47% of the population we wouldn't even still be talking about it, right?

EXACTLY, which is why I have no idea how Jetackuu can justify this:


Amandarius was 1000% correct (using liberal math. Actually he was only 100% correct)

Liberals are the flat earthers. They are the ones who only take what they can see, the most simplistic form of reasoning, as science. If a Christian told a flat-earth liberal there was something more than what they could see or measure, they would be met with ridicule. "Huh huh this guy says the world is round! Looks pretty durn flat to me! And if it is round, how does it stay on the giant turtle's back, huh? Stupid science-hater!"

As a Christian who could school most libs in science, let me make a few points:
1. There are hundreds of Christian institutes of higher learning that teach science, the same science as you get in secular institutions.
2. Many of the major scientific discoveries until roughly the mid-to-late 19th Century were commissioned by the Catholic Church.
3. If you want to judge us all by the fringe 1% that Bill Maher (angry, bitter, insecure - I can see why many libs love him) scrounges up and puts on TV, then don't talk to me about bigotry and hatred.
4. What most of you don't understand is that a lot of ancient beliefs were the result of scientific reasoning: Observe an event and come up with an explanation. So what if you think they were wrong? Science is wrong all the time. I know your response- "Yes nut science always corrects itself! Isn't that beautiful!? /tear" Well then you are admitting it is always wrong?

Because the entire political philosophy of the "liberal" is anti-individual freedom and extremely evil. Progressive-ism itself is an extremely evil theory, essentially it involves stripping everyone of their individual autonomy and agency so that they can become members of a single "collective" government. The theory is that by removing personal property and material possessions people would be "happier" and the collective entity would then control all property, means of production and distribution of the fruits of that production.

They sell this theory in university by preaching about the evils of material possession and the associated desire of humans to acquire those possessions. Similar to the previous socialist revolutions, they seek to turn the proletariat against the aristocracy and bourgeois by blaming all the ills of that proletariat on those they seek to persecute. Essentially the liberal political philosophy idolizes Marx and his teachings, to the detriment of everyone.

So when I speak derisively of liberals I'm not doing so out of some faux news propaganda machine but out of an understanding of exactly what the Democratic party stands for and what the core political agenda of all liberals is.

The anti-lib force has assembled! lol...

Let's form Voltron!

Done.

All of my criticisms are based upon legislation that Republican House and Senate members focus in upon and continuously try to pass. Controlling women, oppressing gays, fostering division amongst the races through voter ID laws, opposing government to the point of intentional sabotage, warmongering and taking things backwards with each step taken rather than proposing ideas that include rather than exclude.

Your party doesn't go a month without making a stupid comment about women, immigrants, brown people or the poor. They're almost always walked back but are designed to placate the base.

you had to know decorum was going to be thrown out the window when the president was on jay leno.

You mean like those ones that want to teach creationism in schools rather than that evil, straight out of the pits of hell evolution? Oh, you said higher learning. Yeah, religious colleges teach science no surprises there.



Yeah, due to the Church wielding damn near absolute power. Those discoveries that were out of sync with what the Church wanted were readily condemned and their discoverers given a stern warning to avoid the temptations of Satan. Only since the Church shed its power hegemony has it morphed into an entity that's willing to accept terms like 'evolution' and leave the science to scientists under their commission or otherwise.


Nope, I have something called nuance. I understand there are religious adherents who aren't frothing at the mouth crazy but hey, the ones who are have an easy time of getting front page news headlines and getting on network TV.

Oh and the religious zealots are often the ones who murder and perpetuate violence. I wonder why?


No, I'm admitting that science is a work in progress that requires constant scrutiny in order to make statements about our surrounding environment. Ancient beliefs are just that, ancient. Some have been proven wrong and others have remained constant. Science moves on until the next discovery or overthrow of an established system as it is dynamic like the rest of the universe it exists within.

You're free to debunk physics if you like but you better have more than episodes of Dragonball Z or some religious text to back it up.

Who watches Jay Leno anymore?

I'm not entirely sure why I'm even bothering to respond, but...

The idea that liberalism and progressivism (sp?) is "evil" is entirely debatable. "Essentially it involves stripping everyone of their individual autonomy and agency so that they can become members of a single 'collective' government," isn't this a tad hypocritical, considering the conservative stance on current social issues?

I consider myself a moderate, but I, personally, cannot get behind a party with such a lack of sympathy/empathy for their fellow countrymen/women. There's always that lingering thought of a backslide leading us to some Dickensian scenario. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe, some social programs ensure the continuity of this country? In turn, those programs protect you and your family by keeping those who are in dire straights at bay. Desperation can lead people to do whatever necessary.

EDIT: Also, where in the world did you attend university, just out of curiosity?

Hold on a second. Iced tea and candy are not used to make drugs, full stop.

You had an approachable point (up until the emphasized part). How many of these institutions of higher education have accreditation?

There isn't multiple kinds of science, in the same way that there isn't multiple kinds of math. How you interpret or manipulate the results of the process is separate from the process itself. That is one of the reasons why you publicize the methodology and data, not just the results, and why you have peer review.
Incorrect. You could say that a significant number of discoveries were discovered by clergymen, or that the Catholic Church actively sponsored the sciences over a timespan. However, the discoveries were not commissioned by the Catholic Church.
Please don't use this as justification, when you are guilty of the same trespass.
Science is wrong all the time. Science doesn't provide a right answer, it provides the methodology to find more correct answers.
It isn't a matter of thinking they were wrong (anyone can think someone else is wrong), it is a matter of being able to demonstrably prove that they were wrong.

But to paraphrase Neil deGrasse Tyson:

It was not Iced Tea. It was Arizona Watermelon Fruit Juice Cocktail, but due to watermelon being part of a particular racial stereotype this was removed from the discussion in the media. And yes it is used to make Lean.

You realize he used the same "radical" tactics you were just lying about on the last page, right?

So the following items are not individual freedoms?
- being able to use birth control
- being able to have an abortion
- being able to have sex in whatever position you would like
- being able to have sex in whatever orientation(s) you prefer
- same sex couples having the same fiscal and legal rights as hetero

No, that would be classical Marxism. That would not be progressivism, let alone American progressivism.
No, you aren't doing so out of an understanding of what they stand for. You also confuse liberal with Democratic party members.

Here are the national party platforms for the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, and for the purpose of comparison here is the Green Party platform.

You do realize that making a statement in the form of a question is condescending and sarcastic right?

dammit can't embed this video D: Obama special Olympics comment etc etc. Sensitive liberal.

That's like saying coke, ice, and rum is used to make a rum and coke.

And that rumice and coke is a drugare used to make drugs.

*edited rum->ice in last statement.
*edited again because I can't seem to read.

You are a hypocrite. There is a statement.

Don't have kids if you are going to be that naïve.

Every self-identified 'true' Republican or Conservative on this website consistently fails to recognize what nuance is in their style of argumentation. Some of our resident liberals do at times too. The ones that do post use buzzwords like 'liberal' or 'Marxist' while failing to realize that Democrats are as varied as Republicans out there. When you're calling candidates like Obama far leftists you're talking out of your *** and relying on talking points rather than objective looks at the political spectrum.

Let me let you in a little secret folks... not every Democrat is for unchecked government spending and not every Republican wants to start a war with every country on the planet! It's shocking, I know.

On a topic like politics nuance is everything.

Liberal Democrat.

Conservative Democrat.

Liberal Republican.

Conservative Republican.

All of these are true.. yet for some reason I feel like I have committed a crime in some people's eyes.

So you are defending the statement where mixers are ingredients for making a drug. Just to be clear. Why are you trying to defend that again?

Today's secret word is "nuance". You all know what that means. Whenever anyone says "nuance" scream real loud! Ready? Let's try it!

That he bought the Arizona and the Skittles to make Purple Drank? Who said they were a drug themselves? This is another case of you reading something incorrectly.

If you want to practice reading read Trayvon's text messages where he talks about making it.

There's a Drive-in here the sells a "Sprittle"; Sprite with Skittles at the bottom. It's delicious. Taste the rainbow.. in liquid form.

Sprittle™ is going to be the name of my new drug. Patent Pending.

Here are some more amaaaaaazing facts from the wonderful world of reality.

Some Democrats are fiscally conservative.
Some Republicans are socially liberal.
Some Democrats are pro-war, intervention hawks.
Some Republicans are anti-war isolationists.
Some Democrats want to end support to Israel.
Some Republicans believe Israeli support is a moral decision.


Next time on amaaaaaaaaazing facts from the wonderful world of reality: Red vs. Blue or merely Me vs. You?

You know what's better than skittled flavored soda? Skittle flavored vodka. Definitely one of the better drinks that my friend concocted back in college.
