Whoops.. thank you for pointing that out. I have in fact read Blink, so that is probably where I picked up this dubious factoid. I need to read it again to refresh my memory so I don't find myself unknowingly quoting it.

This reminds me of the Pepsi challenge. They blindfold you and have you take a sip of Pepsi then a sip of Coke. The results usually have Pepsi wiping the floor with Coke, despite Coke outselling them everywhere. It turns out the reason for

I bet whoever has the top comment on this one is going to see their karma go up and down as everyone tests out the unvote and undown feature. :)

My guess is neither one of you read the article. (hint: it doesn't mention gun control anywhere)

assuming you are giving an example of a straw-man.. then yes, spot on.

We have known about global warming for over 100 yrs now... I think it qualifies as "old-fashioned" by now.

I think the fact that these "good 'ole days" style arguments seem to be timeless suggest an underlying fallacy of some sort driving them [0]. Having said that, I don't think that invalidates all conservatism since the va

Im not following your reasoning. Which I admit has more to do with my lack of knowledge than anything else, so don't read that as "I think you are wrong". I did find other places with the question asked... some have similar a

I suggest you watch their movie. This is what they do. Imo, its satire at its best and purest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3s_pJw7OAU

Its such delicious satire too. It has forced a lobby group that has an unyielding view point on the 2nd amendment to clash directly with the 1st amendment. Which in turn causes me to question my own unyielding view on the 1st amendment... H

Not just anyone off the street is qualified to be a pharmacist or a doctor. So in this context "Doing your own research" means allowing dunning-kruger biases into your medical decisions.

Noted how you skipped the muslim ban completely in your response. We disagree. I guess I can't know if he really is racist or not, however it seems clear to me that racists identify with him and IMO he seems to pander to them.

Which pro-Mexican political causes are you talking about? Which category do you think Trump thinks the judge belongs to... thieves, rapists, or is he one of the "good ones"? If I went to "Trump University" would I learn

Trump is racist. I came up with the same conclusion after listening to him talk about immigration... I didn't need the "news media" to claim anything. Building a border wall to keep out the "rapists"... deporting an

Imo, racism isn't bad because it oversimplifies the complexity of human experience. It is bad because it degrades in a very direct way the human experience of the group that it is targeting. I don't see how that statement does thi

The Sanders' quote wasn't oppressively racist, given that his whole platform was centered around equality. Im not claiming that its impossible to say something racist and oppressive about white people. Saying something like "

So rather than pointing out how Im wrong (as I even requested), you construct a strawman argument? I didn't claim that... its fine if you disagree with me, but be honest in your discussion. Edit: and since you are not the person that p

Correct me if I am wrong, but your premise here looks like a meaningless semantic argument while ignoring why racism is bad to begin with.
