Michael Avenatti holds that the next POTUS will appoint two or three to the SCOTUS. That made me feel a bit better. I assume Trump will burn the Reichstag between now and the midterms, but a good outcome in November could lead to impeachment and President ...
The sense of what the PM was saying was perfectly clear. Yes: I watched the video to refresh my memory and what she says is perfectly clear: Labour's proposed sector wide bargaining framework will not lead to more strikes. Also, I note the (let's be ...
Garret et al 2016: ...we provide empirical evidence for a gradual escalation of self-serving dishonesty and reveal a neural mechanism supporting it. ... The findings uncover a biological mechanism that supports a 'slippery slope': what begins as small acts...
The link to Soper is to the wrong story: here's the one you want. Soper's brain has adapted to dishonesty, I suspect. [Thanks. Right you are. I have corrected - MS]
Why would I need to rethink it? Immigration increases both supply and demand and therefore has a neutral effect upon wages.
It's appropriate that hospitals have places given over for quiet reflection and contemplation, even though the religious will pretend ownership.
Get your church out of my state. Now.
When did I claim that immigrants "steal our jobs"? The supply of workers increases, the demand for workers increases. Let me know when you figure it out.
The requirement that staff peer review one-anothers' decisions is a good move, though, and it's clear that Sepuloni isn't done yet. She can't just smash the ministry: people rely on it.
...the same sort of thing conceivable. The non-privileged sectors of US society have been living with 'the conceivable' for some considerable time now. What 'civility' are they afforded?
Yes, your bigotry is like a teenage tantrum.
How cynical and dishonest is the National Party? In Question Time on Thursday, Parker was asked by National MP Amy Adams if the purpose of the Overseas Investment Amendment Bill was to exempt developments like Te Arai Because they're really really ...
You think an illustration is equivalent to kidnapping and extortion. What could you possibly offer this topic?
If the National Party told the truth about their policy agenda people would question why they're advocating a slow civil war. Of course they have to lie about it.
Irony: a concentration camp doctor gives advice on ethics.
If you aim at Capitalism your attack is easily evaded, for Capitalism is an ephemera, an ideal that exists only in textbooks. Aim instead at human rights and environmental abuses, corruption, and those who grease the slope.

most Westerners are simply not all that informed about Islam I doubt this incomprehension has a worse effect upon society than say, run-of-the-mill privilege and prejudice. Lao Tsu observed that "religion enthralls generation after generation". I posit ...
Civil war is terrible indeed. I hope the USA can avoid it. The Nazis are vastly outnumbered but would still inflict great losses; they already have.
Is that how it's going to become normal? One case, or even Windrush-scale callous incompetence, equated to forty* two thousand deliberate kidnappings. We're just taking your child for a bath. "Darling. they're just taking you for a bath". "Liebling. Sie ...
@Gosman You made quite a compelling case against Christians though. No, I didn't. You just think it's good because it's all you've got in yours. It's a shit case: I cherry-picked a single verse (or whatever they're called) as though it is the entire litany...
So it's hateful to say that torturing children is wrong, a crime against humanity. The Police marksman who shoots the would-be murderer does so out of hate. That self-defence and the defence of others is motivated by hate. Your moral compass is broken. Oh,...
@Bewildered. Don't go cap in hand to Trump begging for indulgences: get off your knees and suspend him from a lamp-post by his heels. This isnt some normal petition to a benevolent government. "Oh please Sir, won't you stop torturing children Sir?" We sent...
I wasn't making a case against them. Just emphasising your failure to make a case for discrimination against people based on the books they read.
Kidnapping children en masse is theatre. He's good at it. Amazing what a centrist can blithely wave away.
is the comparison valid, and if so, what actions are justifiable and/or unjustifiable?
Yes, and you haven't made a wet paper bag, let alone a case.
Don't flatter yourself Gosman. You can no more make a case that Muslims are intolerant than you can Christians: But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Luke 19:27. Saith the Lord, and ...
Ah, sorry, I just spotted the initial misrepresentation in your argument. The comparison is not between Trump and Hitler, but between Trump's behaviour and policies and nazism. So I'll ask you again: is the comparison valid, and if so, what actions are ...
Some Muslims behave like cake shop owners, therefore we should restrict all cake shop owners. We should also restrict members of ACT, and everybody else too. Asinine much.
Masterpiece Cake Shop is still very much in business. Also, I don't think Matthew said that.
