    Hegseth Boosts Video of Pastors Saying Women Shouldn't Vote, Advocating Repeal of 19th Amendment

    What male physical fitness standards? Different services and different combat positions have different standards. And even in the positions that have such high standards, 1% is still a lot of women.

    That position has the distinction of being both illogical and ludicrous.

    I think you mean "statistically". And that's irrelevant. Many women can maintain the standards, and those should be allowed in the combat positions.

    Senator Kirsten Gillibrand That was super easy. I could list more, if you want.

    Hegseth Boosts Video of Pastors Saying Women Shouldn't Vote, Advocating Repeal of 19th Amendment

    Strangely enough, all of the arguments I've heard against women registering for selective service have come from men. Can't really blame the women if the men are the ones preventing them from being registered. As an alternative, of course, we could just get rid of the draft altogether. It...

    How to debate a flat-Earther: Proven scientific arguments and strategies

    Like I've said elsewhere, it's all about the paranoia. Once they conclude that there's a vast conspiracy out to get them, they come up with a convenient conspiracy, in this case a flat Earth. All evidence opposing them becomes fake, crafted by the conspirators. I'm not wild about debates in the...

    We’ve been reading Charles Darwin all wrong

    I didn't say the situation was nonsensical, I said the answer of "yes" would be nonsensical under the hypothetical situation. But if the evolutionist is someone who would always answer yes to such a question, then that's the answer we'll get. I think the most academic answer would be: No...

    We’ve been reading Charles Darwin all wrong

    What is an "evolutionist"? If an evolutionist is defined as someone who always comes up with common origins as an answer, then if the evolutionist exists, the answer to your question will always be yes, regardless of how nonsensical that would be in the situation. I doubt you could find such a...

    We’ve been reading Charles Darwin all wrong

    No, if mice were the only animals that ever existed, then we wouldn't exist, so no one would be able to make that claim.

    Trump says he wants to deport ‘the worst of the worst,’ but ICE data shows 72% of people detained have no criminal convictions

    Hey, at least they have better job security than most federal employees. They'll feel much better about their work once they've eliminated all the fentanyl smuggling, right? Sure, there are a lot of detractors, but there are a lot of people cheering them on, too. I would imagine that there are...

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    Nope. Trump is mentioned in the title. As far as Clinton goes, I think he had a reasonable approach. Nothing unusual there.

    Do you agree with the President on border enforcement and illegal aliens?

    Huh? You asked us if we agree with Trump, then you say that the thread isn't about Trump? What? Personally, I don't mind illegal immigration all that much. The US has been depending on the cheap labor for a long time now. However, now that the US has put Trump back in office, I fully expect...

    Do you know anyone that thinks they will Vote for Elons America party?

    Hey, if Elon's party comes up with a good party platform that aims to balance the budget, I could consider voting for it. I'm not all that fond of the other party platforms. On the other hand, I'm kinda committed to voting against the MAGA Party these days, and I need an alternative that has a...

    Obama Judge Blocks Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Provision Barring Medicaid Funding For Planned Parenthood

    Hey, states' rights. Now that Roe v. Wade is gone, the federal government shouldn't be involved in the abortion issue.
