Unseen,

You’re right. I didn’t flunk genetics in college ’cause I never took the course. LOL But hopefully everyone knew what I was getting at.

Well, since X Chromosomes are in fact shared by both males and females, as taught in any basic biology course, what you’re getting at is that you not only uphold a nonsensical position of gun contr…[Read more]

Robert,

That was some interesting reading in the database.

One thing I note from the database is that only 17 shootings were motivated by “race,” even though 1966-1979 were some the more racially tense and violent times of the years in the database.

Only 113 were “Domestic with Targeted Victim” even with sexist/chauvinist attitudes prevalent…[Read more]

Robert and Jake,

All right, Robert, I at least see where you got the figure of 6.3 shotings a week, though the shootings are most likely not spread out and multiple shootings take place in one incident.

Jake’s AI, however, rightly points out that gun availability and gun prohibition are not the only factor in school shootings.

So, should both…[Read more]

Simon,

Do you mean a Y chromosome? XX, XY? I see your point: gun violence is almost exclusively male.

The X Chromosome is shared by both sexes, so Unseen was saying no one should have guns. XY is male.

Simple explanation of a nonsense position, no? Score one for Occam.

Simon,

I don’t buy Occam’s Razor all the time. I think it’s artificial. Something’s the way it is, not necessarily the simplest way.

Of course, something is the the way it is and sometimes it is complicated. All Occam did was pre-date “The Raven” and quoth: “and nothing more.”

What is explained by positing an alleged everything that ex…[Read more]

Strega and Unseen,

No hacking was involved here. Unseen just demonstrated the GIGO principle of computer programming: Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Look, all problems created by homo sapiens could be solved by removing our X Chromosomes from the picture. But the only ones supporting that are the VHEMT.…[Read more]

Robert,

If we arm every ape/human with a gun, what could go wrong? The NRA has an entire anti-statistics department working overtime to make 1+1=3. Because 6.3 school shootings a week keeps the kids awake and alert.

Cite?

We don’t need one gun for every ape/human, just one for every would-be victim. Anybody have have statistics on who that could be?

Reg,

I am not sold on the multiverse theory. Too many strings attached.

Occam’s Razor cuts those strings easily. One Universe with lots of unknowns is the best catch-all.

Jake,

As far as that bearing arms amendment and what i want is good regulations and major penalties for arms bearers failing to attain the requirements beforehand. Prove you know what you are doing with a gun safety course or test passed. No sales to minors.

Alas, all that was in place in Israel on October 7th and there were nowhere near enough…[Read more]

Jake,

Every Jew a 22, stay alive with a 45.

Ah, you’ve seen the good side of the steel-and-brass pill.

So i was wondering what Dawkins meant in his famous quote…god of the old testament is arguably the most unpleasant charcter in all fiction…sadomasochistic capriciously malevolent bully…

I’ve never understood that Dawkins quote either. The G…[Read more]

Reg,

The Slippery Slope of selective recognition: The Anti-Hinduphobia Bill of Georgia

There is a very simple Occam’s Razor to address this: Every individual has equal rights before the law that deserve equal respect, regardless of thoughts, beliefs, or conditions of birth.

Thoughts and beliefs, however, do not have rights and do not deserve…[Read more]

Jake and Unseen,

Here, Armin Navabi shows footage of Gazans getting aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) and praising both the U.S. and Trump for the aid, as well as condemning Hamas:

Armin also gives a fair criticism of GHF that it has a logistical problem with organization,…[Read more]

For some reason, my post don’t show up initially and I end up repeating. Here below is my post.

Jake,

Armin Navabi, who runs Atheist Republic, does a superb job of defending Israel, trashing the Mullahs of his homeland of Iran, as well as giving a balanced thrashing of Abrahamic, Vedic, and Oriental religions. Here’s his YouTube site, with links to the main Atheist Republic site and his other social…[Read more]

Unseen,

Gemini AI didn’t mention that there was no October 7th in Czechoslavak history after it broke up, and after they went their separate ways, neither the Czech Republic’s legitimacy nor Slavakia’s legitimacy was ever questioned, and no ethnicity was blamed for every evil in the world. And no one wanted to bring “The Seven Day War” to every…[Read more]

Jake,

Of course the Jew-haters in our streets are sickening too! I’ve been on your side all alone here.

I’m just saying that Goat-Talk vs. God-Talk is the Greatest-Of-All-Time False Dilemma Fallacies. You’d expect this from Apologetics but not from rational thinkers. I’m sure J-Street-ers and AIPAC-ers would agree with me and say: “Get off…[Read more]

Jake,

Ok so i am assuming you want a more detailed explanation of hearsay and exceptions to hearsay rule.

No, I was wondering what’s with the fixation with goat impregnation. This serves no end except as an ipicac.

Jake,

Yeah Enco you are debating the allegations and avoiding whataboutism. Reminds me of law. HEARSAY! Hearsay as a general rule is not admissible. Objection, hearsay! The proponent counters with one of the exceptions to the rule like excited utterance. “Oh my fucking god that guy is naked in public and trying to make that goat pregant!” Ear…

Unseen,

The fallacy of composition is a logical fallacy that occurs when one incorrectly assumes that what is true for the parts of a whole must also be true for the whole itself. In other words, it’s the mistake of attributing a characteristic of individual members or parts to the entire group or system, without sufficient justification.

War, G…[Read more]
