Because America shouldn't have to pay to defend Israel from the enemies Israel created and CONTINUES TO FUND! Israel can stop funding Hamas whenever it wishes to. That's the difference. You're smart enough to figure this out if you want to.

If overturned, the ruling could have a chilling effect on federal regulators. https://www.thetrace.org/2024/10/supreme-court-ghost-guns-kits-vanderstok/ {Alain Stephens | 07 October 2024} The U.S Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on October 8 to determine whether the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives overstepped in effectively outlawing certain kits used to make homemade, untraceable ghost guns.

The concept underlying the expression "1 + 1 = 2" is necessarily true for all people in all places at all times. The concept underlying the expression "Joe is a murderer" is not necessarily true for all people in all places at all times. All reasonable people, for all times and all places, must necessarily accept, accede to, and agree with the meaning expressed by the statement "1 + 1 = 2", regardless of whatever other particular set of symbols and system of nomenclature might be substituted at the "surface level" to denote the abstractions underlying the elements of the statement. IOW: It is always and everywhere unreasonable to reject the "ship" (i.e., the underlying meaning) of the expression "1 + 1 = 2", regardless of how the semantic deck chairs might be arranged. On the other hand, when it comes to normative and/or transcendental matters (such as those relating to the concepts of "law" and "crime"), reasonable people can and will disagree - on an essential level much more fundamental than the transient contingencies of mere symbols and nomenclature - about what "ought" to be, or about how such things "ought" to be understood. With regard to such matters, one can certainly adopt presuppositions and definitions such that - from within the context of those "axiomatic" elements - certain propositions must necessarily hold true. But other reasonable people who do not share those presuppositions and definitions will not necessarily be compelled to accept, accede to, or agree with those propositions (or the "axiomatic" elements from which they are derived). IOW: One cannot reasonably reject the concept presently denoted by the expression "1 + 1 = 2", but one might reasonably reject the concept presently denoted by the expression "Joe is a murderer". To put things in terms of Feynman's empirical/positive/non-normative discussion of magnetism, one cannot reasonably dispute that the opposite poles of magnets attract (regardless of what symbols, labels, and nomenclature one might arbitrarily adopt in order to describe or express the fact). The question of whether the opposite poles of magnets attract (and under what circumstances they might not) is an "objective" one, and is existentially bound up with the essential identity of "magnets" as distinct from other things - but the question of why they attract (in the sense in which Feynman means "why" in this particular instance) is not. To address the former question is to engage in "science" (specifically, "physics"). To address the latter question is to engage in "philosophy" (specifically, "metaphysics").

It's officially been a year now since the attack in Israel happened that Israel had the plans for 1 year in advance. So is this the 1 year anniversary or the 2 year anniversary?

"Wouldn't it be crazy if one of the richest lithium deposits in the world was right outside of Asheville North Carolina?" Why would that be "crazy"? :confused: "Wouldn't it be crazy if the largest lithium mining company in the world 3 days before the flood began, submitted the permits for their mine right outside Asheville North Carolina?" Why would it be "crazy" for a company that mines stuff to submit permits to mine that stuff in a place where lots of that stuff is at? And how would it be any more "crazy" than if the permits had been applied for a week - or a month, or a year, or whatever - before the flood began? For that matter, how would it be any more "crazy" than if the the permits had been applied for a week - or a month, or a year, or whatever - after the flood began? If "3 days before" is "crazy", then at what point (before or after) would it not be "crazy"?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TheTexan again. And for the record, the black people who recently killed two innocent people in Birmingham Alabama and wounded 17 others while killing two thugs who had gotten away with murder are universally despised by every black person I know. If they had only killed their fellow thugs I wouldn't be as bothered. Call me heartless if you will.

And....here's another take. Anti Federalist, to answer an earlier question, I want to like Candace but she does come with some baggage that still needs to be unpacked.

Certainly. Anti Federalist brought up the latest white on white school shooting and, without anyboby saying anything about the race of the shooter, immediately deflected by bringing up black on black gang violence. Clear enough for you?

Note that I didn't specifically call out any ethnicity. While the Nazis did single out the Jews, they expressly considered anyone who didn't fit their definition of German as not a citizen. And that's kind of odd considering one can become Jewish by conversion.

I didn't even mention race. Ice Cube didn't either. But for the record even though these people are white, most white people don't consider them white. You're smart enough to figure it out.

Is reading comprehension an issue for you? I specifically talked about people bringing up black gang violence as a deflection when a story comes out about a white kid killing white people at a school. I didn't say you did it. I said it happened. I was merely pointing out someone else's deflection. Again, reading is fundamental. If you inject yourself into the middle of a conversation between two other people you owe it to yourself to back and learn the context.

I wonder how much of the Nazi 25 point plan a lot of people on the left and the right would agree with? https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-party-platform The Nazi Party Platform was a 25-point program for the creation of a Nazi state and society. Hitler presented the program at the Hofbräuhaus Beerhall in Munich, Germany on February 24, 1920. The 25 points combined extreme nationalism, racial antisemitism, and socialist concepts with German outrage over the Versailles peace settlement following their defeat in World War I. The program called for German rejection of the Versailles Treaty and for the inclusion of all Germans (especially those living in Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland) into a Greater German state. The Nazis also publicly declared their intention to segregate Jews from "Aryan" German society and to abrogate the political, legal, and civil rights of Jews in Germany. The 25 points also included several measures designed to appeal to workers, the largest voting bloc in the Weimar Republic. These included calls for profit-sharing in large industries, the nationalization of trusts, free education, and an increase in pension payments.

All part of the same club though.

Deflection is simply making excuses by another method. Again, who's funding it?

Nope. They were created to undermine the PLO.

Okay. And yet when some white kid shoots up a school, certain folks coddle themselves with "But the black thugs are killing each other in the hood." As you say, not enough people call that out.

Anti Federalist mentioned the "poet" was funded by art philanthorpic foundation. The same is true of the "piss Christ" photo.

This thread has shown the issue with national socialism and valli6 is a prime example. The Nazis loved welfare too and blamed people of other ethnicities for their failed state. "Housing prices are going up." Well duh! When that happens when white people move into black neighborhoods it's called gentrification. Everybody is all pro free market until it's their perceived tribe on the short end of the stick. Then you have people with MAGA hats on complaining about not getting enough welfare. Pathetic for real. JD Vance was a least honest a little bit when he said that nobody was talking about Springfield Ohio until the cat story became a thing because there was little reason to do so! This wasn't like the story of the Venezuelan gangs doing raids on apartments with long guns fully visible or MS-13 killing people with machettes. Besides the admittedly bad driving and the fake pet eating stories there was really nothing to complain about the Haitians that couldn't be said about the Ukranians or any other group that comes in a competes for jobs, housing etc.

That's nice. And this white man.... made this piece of "art." Both were funded and "promoted" ( TheTexan and Swordsmyth) by the same people. Imagine that?

Ice Cube didn't take the money and isn't part of the problem. But if you want to go collectivist then you bear the sins of all of the white porn stars out there. Regardless, as usual, you missed the point. TheTexan was talked about who promotes a culture of violence. The actor / singer / dancer is not the promoter. Hell, it's in the job title "promoter."

A mass shooting in Urkaine is not the same as a mass shooting in Utah. I care more about one than the other. What you're doing is called deflection. Something bad happens in a white neighhood, rather than addressing it you go and find something bad happening in some other neighhood in order to cope. It's called "copium." J. "Deep State" Vance at least addressed school shootings by saying "Let's make the schools more secure." Your response? "Some black homeless people got killed in a mass shooting too." You offer no solutions to "your people" other than "Other groups have it worse." Sad actually. But back to the real issue. Yes Magic Johnson asked black men to go vote for Kamala. Weren't you even the least bit curious as to why he singled out black men instead of saying "black people?" And he said Trump didn't keep his promises to black people in his first term. What promises to black people? All I remember Trump saying was "What do you have to lose?" Of course his "58% black youth unemployment" statistic was inflated because it included high school student.
