Hell, even my generation lacked in critical thought training. I think like most public schools we covered some basic logic at one point, circular logic and simple stuff. Those things take continual training and updates. It's easier not to think about an appeal to emotion that it is to question it, especially if it fits your particular bias.
Socrates stated in the Republic that it was necessary for the public to ensure all citizens were trained in rhetoric. Up until the US move to Prussian education system it was taught as part of the Classical education system. Today, it's barely touched in public schools unless you are on the debate team. Due to budget cuts most schools don't even have debate teams, so...
If what Mr. Trump said was true (grabbing them by the pu**y) there would at least be a court case. Instead, what we have is a setup question in a debate from an extremely biased liberal working in media followed by a dozen accusations which don't match the statement recorded. None of those accusations, even up to 40 years old, ever came up before the debates and no charges existed until then. Those accusations are all extremely weak (you can read) so I'd say not plausible that he's guilty. That does not mean impossible, but extremely unlikely. Double so when you have people like Clinton, who destroyed women her husband was guilty of sexual assaulting, telling people that they have to believe the accusations.
The first part of the tape is Trump saying he hit on someone and was turned down. Hmm, that does not seem much like a sexual predator to me. Then, if you pay attention to the end of the tape you see and hear that it was talk plain as day. He gets off the bus and keeps his distance from the lady Bush was saying was hot. Bush has to tell her "give him a hug", Donald keeps his distance. Then, he's not grabby at all and still keeps his distance. In fact he states right away that his wife allows it, letting the lady know he is spoken for. Again, not sexual predator behavior.
By the way, it is not moving the goal post to show analogy to demonstrate the argument. You did it twice, incorrectly in my opinion, prior to my analogy. My point is that sexual behavior among adults is common. Trump was the biggest reality star in Hollywood. If you don't believe he had tremendous amounts of pressure for sexual attention from women, you are a fool.
Remember those masses of Republicans out smashing businesses, beating people, and silencing dissenting opinions after President Obama won his 2nd term? How about all of those "Trump Supporters" paid to bird dog people at Clinton events? Well, I'll tell ya something. There is a reason that everyone in my family who is (or was until recently) a member of the Democratic Party didn't vote that way and many have given up on the Party as a whole. The Democratic party propping up Ellison and the media largely ignoring him is all you need to consider to realize that the DNC (as well as many in media) have lost their frigging minds.
You go ahead and yell in the streets. The non-existent fairy tales about policies of a person who has not spent a single day in political office doesn't frighten sane people. The rest of us will wait to actually see what happens over time and measure the actions the President takes. If he sucks, we'll do like we did this year and vote someone else into office.
We didn't elect a dictator, we elected a President. One of Three branches of US Government, and the President is not supposed to have dictatorial powers. Thanks to Obama, you may be confused though, because he has been the most vocal about his power of the pen.
Net Neutrality as proposed is like saying your State has "Right to Work" laws. If you believe those laws give workers Rights, you are grossly mistaken. As GP stated, read what is being proposed and then make up your mind.
If you want another example, what exactly Patriotic about the "Patriot Act"? Yeah, this is not a new political trick.
Thanks for proving that you can not follow a simple 30 second conversation. The discussion was about multiple women, not one. Thanks for playing "I can't see past my biases".
No, you are absolutely wrong. Try a different extreme instead of a mantra chanted by morons. If you get invited to an orgy and visit the orgy, there should be the assumption that you are there for sex. Someone grabbing your private parts is not "wrong", it would be the normal given that scenario. That does not mean you can't say "no", but that you are in a situation that has an expectation that sexual contact is normalized.
If you don't want sexual contact, you would not be at the orgy. It is your decision to be there, and your decision to stay. That does not make anyone else at that event guilty of sexual assault because they are following the societal normal.
To claim that the same mentality of sexual contact can not exist outside of that extreme is simply asinine to the point of delusion/retardation. I have been hit on by women who want things. It was my choice to accept or rebuke the offers, and I'm not a person of immense wealth and power like an actor, or actress, or musician. Those type of people have tremendous amounts of pressure for sex, because sex is a method of advancement.
You can not deny that is factual, well documented human behavior and have any credibility.
The full conversation that you are talking about is Bush and Trump talking about exactly that type of woman. Trump shows his character after stepping off the bus and keeping his distance. Bush telling the woman to give Trump a hug led to Trump saying "it's okay, Ivanka lets me do that" so he tells her right away that he's spoken for.
You are a liar if you have never heard "guy talk" or "girl talk, unless perhaps you grew up a eunuch in a monastery. Even in the latter case I'm a skeptic. And yes, it seems like you have difficulty with honesty and reality.
A groupie hanging with musicians offering sex is not committing sexual assault any more than the musician who sleeps with the groupie. It's not a one or the other thing, and rarely ever is. That is _YOUR_ logic failure, not mine. If real world circumstances "derail" the conversation it simply demonstrates your lack of ability to think and reason.
Is a groupie guilty of sexual assault when they try to sleep with band members, actors, actresses? How about a more general woman who understands how to use sex appeal trying to sleep with people in power positions to get power? It is not a one sided issue, and you can't seem to follow a simple 30 second conversation. I have no confidence that you can see both sides of the claim.
Is it not possible that Republicans could have won by larger margins, if we assume Democrats did rig? We call this affirming the disjunct, your logic is simply wrong.
Stop selectively reading. The last couple decades of push to tyranny is what is causing the downfall, not personal liberty and accountability which lead to our peak.
On the surface, like most leftist arguments I believe most people agree that sexual assault is a crime. That said, the definition of sexual assault has been expanded to include telling someone they are attractive, kissing them on the cheek, and in extreme cases women who regret their decision the next day.
Hate to tell you this buddy, but you are guilty of sexual assault too. Your partners have not yet decided to press charges, but you are absolutely guilty due to the broad definitions placed on the term.
China is ahead in terms of what exactly? Human rights abuses and tyranny? Okay, you got me on that one. Personal productivity and innovation are pathetically low in China. Most of the advancements come from theft from foreign Governments because oppression stifles both productivity and innovation. If China had a 2nd amendment and right to speech the Government would be overthrown, and the Chinese government knows as much. Which is why Chinese people have neither.
The "American Republican idiocy" you decry is responsible for the overwhelming majority of industrial and technical innovation over the last 200 years (it is actually a shared ideology with much of Western Europe). The last couple decades of push to tyranny is what is causing the downfall, not personal liberty and accountability which lead to our peak.
The leftist controlled media (and yes, I mean leftist in the most derogatory sense) has for years cherry picked content to frame arguments and poison the well. This has been done to promote the leftist agenda, which is completely anti-American. They do so with culture as much as politics. Those two tactics of Sophistry that have been around for at least 2500 years but are very effective with people who are ignorant. Trump just made it blatantly obvious, not new. IMHO, the leftists thought they were further along in the game than they really were so at this point it's largely backfiring.
We not only need to get rid of the leftist media, but the leftist educators and system, and leftists in politics. For you people with a D in front of your party, leftists pretend to be on your side but really are not. Bill Ayers is a leftist, as was Saul Alinsky. Look at who is being pushed to head the Democratic party, yet the "news" won't talk about Ellison. When the news calls Bannon antisemitic but ignores Ellison it becomes apparent that they are so far gone there is no coming back.
Stop paying tuition to idiotic schools who censor people they dislike and sponsor safe spaces. Stop watching and listening to media that lies to you. And tell friends why you are boycotting and ask them to consider joining. The best thing Citizens can do to work on this issue is to remove them from their money.
Given the example provided, a bottle automatically dispenses the right amount of pills at the right time. IoT simply gives someone the ability to make a whole lot of bottles behave differently, giving extra or no medication on time. In both cases severe complications can arise, so the "benefit" turns into a major detriment very quickly.
Hackers of all kinds daily prove why there is no possible way to have Internet Utopia. It is foolish to have such a belief, and propagating that belief does temporary good for some who profit and damage to many overall. How many extra fees do you have to pay for everything today for "protection"?
IoT has trivial world value. "My Fridge" on the internet sounds great until someone orders you $90,000 worth of caviar to fill it with. Sure, some protections can be put in place but you can not protect everything all the time.
Repeating bullshit which is a live interview you could hear for yourself is "untrue" how exactly? Oh, this is a fun game. Reading your post history I see the majority of your posts starting by insulting people and standing for the establishment at every level. Wholly fuck you shills are stupid. Go pound sand up your ass, before your master bends you over preferably.
Thanks for proving my point. I'm not a Republican, and you didn't even bother to ask before you labelled me and slandered the label. Go figure, you are a Democrat right? I'm guessing a shill, because the majority of Americans have seen through the shitshow of slander you guys have been putting out.
Wrong "in part" is completely wrong when it's all that's played. Same crap happening today after the loss a week ago. Most of us figured out that the media in the democratic party pocket won't change because they lost. Slander and lies are all they know and all they do. Sticking labels on people worked to a point, but now they just hate both the DNC and Media even more.
Looking out for self interests is not "stupid", people with delusions of Utopia are. You may consider drinking lots and lots of bleach to fix your illness.

False advertising is a crime, it does not need additional regulation.
Yes, _YOU_ are the problem and no, the AC did not shoot down a theory. A person's personal anecdote does not disprove human nature. Dumbass.
Hey, nothing nefarious ever happens in their Internet Utopia. It is _YOU_ that has the problem. You must believe harder!
Education.

Delusional to believe that his daughter is what's in the freezer. It's a frozen body in the freezer, and a reminder of the daughter he lost.
While my opinions are free my time and research abilities are not. Time for you to do some homework I guess.
