What is the "white narrative." I'm white but maybe my narrative is different that another white persons. Does that mean one of us doesn't have a "white narrative?"
I first met then-President-Elect Trump on Friday, January 6 in a conference
room at Trump Tower in New York. I was there with other Intelligence
Community (IC) leaders to brief him and his new national security team on the
findings of an IC assessment concerning Russian efforts to interfere in the
election. At the conclusion of that briefing, I remained alone with the President-
Elect to brief him on some personally sensitive aspects of the information
assembled during the assessment.
The IC leadership thought it important, for a variety of reasons, to alert the
incoming President to the existence of this material, even though it was salacious
and unverified. Among those reasons were: (1) we knew the media was about to
publicly report the material and we believed the IC should not keep knowledge of
the material and its imminent release from the President-Elect; and (2) to the
extent there was some effort to compromise an incoming President, we could blunt
any such effort with a defensive briefing.
The case for some is simply "sub-saharan"; but let's not forget that there have been several findings that indicate that we left Africa far earlier. I'm only vaguely interested in paleo-anthropology so I can't list them.
I also couldn't care less (outside of scientific curiosity) if we all came from a small band of humans in eastern Africa or if Mitochondrial Eve existed or not.
Dude, how did you get to Godwin so quickly? That's sad.
Unfortunately there are some people out there who derive self-worth from the fact that humans evolved from Africa. I have already passed by some Judah ben Judah folks who were calling humans arising from elsewhere than Africa as racist lies.
It's a shame - but there it is. So calling it politically incorrect - well, for some, it is. Just look at the Native American tribes who don't want to hear anything that challenges the established narrative,
And a lot, in this case, means "too much." And how do we determine and define "too much."
One can have too much water but I think most would agree that 48 ounces of water per day is not too much. (Yes I know 64 is the recommended amt)
One can have too much coffee. How much is too much? Same with beer and wine.
If you (or anyone) says you're consuming too much "x" then how did you determine that? It's not because you consume it every day. I drink water every day. Obviously that is not "too much" or "a bad thing".
If you say that 2 glasses of wine is "too much." How is it harmful? And, for that you would need to know what amount is not harmful. I think I drink very little. I think that two glasses of wine does not affect my health - and am betting with my life that it does not.
Do you advocated imprisonment to cure the drinking problem?
A proponent of incarceration for weed as well?
If you don't favor laws - OK. But I hope you don't mind that I'll have a nice glass of red wine tonight with my meal. Unless I'm having Indian food in which case I'll have beer.
So. Part of the problem is that regulation forces people to act against their better interest. And you are against said regulation - but you say removing said regulation is not a good idea.
Absolutely - and try to get one of these SJWs to define their terms. And how about the rise of Post Modernist theory over the last 20 + years.
Post-Modernist theory being taught as fact. Newton and Euler considered to be irrelevant CIS gendered, dead-white males. (If these a$$holes even know about Euler.)
Disagree with you completely. It's done often. Look at Chic-Fil-A. That was a perfect example of boycott / counter boycott. Here's another: look at all the people who went after firearm companies after the school massacres? What happened. Customers (like me) bought more to say FU to the gun grabbers. Boycotts and counter boycotts happen all the time.
I NEVER go to Citgo. I would rather pay more at another station than go there.
The energy you spend getting government involved is far better spent in going after the companies who do wrong. Just make certain you're not just preaching to the converted because the counter boycott may more than offset your boycott.
1. Now that you are using company X's product are you medically unable to use company Y's?
Is that why it's "reasonable" at first?
If so, that is an interesting launching point for regulation. It could (and would) unite both Libertarians and Socialists. That combination is very powerful and ought not be ignored. (This is one of the many reasons ANTIFA is so pathetic.)
So - then wouldn't the solution be to change the law regarding forcing the delivery method? Sounds like corporatist (mercantilist for those more classically trained) erosion of the marketplace.
This would be an example where free market and socialists could combine forces. Combination of forces leads to more than "victories" it leads to understanding that the other is not necessarily evil, and can, in fact, be an ally.
I've heard it often. In fact I just had a big argument last Thursday night at neighborhood pub where I tried to get people to define the terms assault and rape and was literally shouted at that 1/4 of the women in colleges are being RAPED!!!

Read the testimony for yourself.
Don't take my word for it, or CNN's or Fox's or anyone else. It's a five minute read.

Hmm. Sarcasm. But when Obama said "nothing can be done" you were cool about it. So, if Trump comes out against this - will you give him credit?
Well. your mileage my vary but I don't consider Vincent Peale to be a social conservative.
It's 2017. Godwin is the default state.
Fair enough. Things are fairly polarized right now. (An understatement if ever there was one.)
I know that.

Would you like to explain your position? If not I can counter with:
Socialism is against everyone's interest. Therefore 100% of Democrats are voting against their interests.

whoops.
"And they no this" should be "And they know this"
Evidence?
Whatever you can say about Trump - one thing he is not and has never been is a religious conservative.
And they no this - look how poorly he did in the primaries with them. And take a look at Utah in the General.
Look, you don't like Trump. Got it. But making up idiotic sh!t like this. Dude. It's too transparent,
How much is a lot? Is 8 ounces of water a lot?
And a lot, in this case, means "too much." And how do we determine and define "too much."
One can have too much water but I think most would agree that 48 ounces of water per day is not too much. (Yes I know 64 is the recommended amt)

Wow. You're not a zealot are you.
Do you advocated imprisonment to cure the drinking problem?
A proponent of incarceration for weed as well?
If you don't favor laws - OK. But I hope you don't mind that I'll have a nice glass of red wine tonight with my meal. Unless I'm having Indian food in which case I'll have beer.
Two glasses of wine or beer a day is "high" to you.
Guess almost the whole world (except for the muslim world) are drunks to you.
We pay a lot for education but what are we getting for the dollars?
The problem is not the funding. Funding has been going through the roof for 50 years.
Re prisons
1. how about finding other ways to punish besides prison
2. how about decriminalizing drugs, prostitution and gambling.
keep prison for rapists and murders and thieves
thx. :)
My job is in NY. I have property in NH and good friends in the Littleton / Whitefield area.
So. Part of the problem is that regulation forces people to act against their better interest. And you are against said regulation - but you say removing said regulation is not a good idea.
Got it.
Actually, I really don't.

I know the project and was in NH for a time. Part of the NY Libertarian Party.
Nicely said. Wish I could mod up.

Questions:
1. Now that you are using company X's product are you medically unable to use company Y's?
Is that why it's "reasonable" at first?

Actually I did not know that one did not have a choice if so prescribed by the doctor. Another poster pointed that out.
Now, isn't that an indication that the health care market may be in need of deregulation?
In this case it is the regulation(s) that are the culprit.
Now. That's interesting. I did not know that.
