Indeed it is true that medicaid can help people get treatment for opioid addiction. Something else that medicaid helps people get: Opioids.

I think you mean far right. That was the label used in the article. Or was it alt right? White supremacy? Gamergate? /r9k/? I'm sure it was something horrible anyway.

Congratulations on posting something completely vacuous then. Making that sort of post may be idiotic, and that sort of defense may be something that only a pedantic midwit would make. But then again, it may not be.

Remember when the outrage was that President Trump spoke with Taiwan's president, since doing so would cast doubt on the legitimacy of the Chinese government? I'm sure that there's some motivation which could explain both motivations but it's hard to tell what it could be...

Cycle seems to be that when the new guy gets into office he becomes the great Satan. However, once he's been out of office for a term or so and people have started to forget the criticisms leveled against him, and suddenly the old guy is treated as someone who was pretty good, but lamentably...

Removing a brain tumor is analogous to braining someone with an ice pick.

If God had wanted female priests, He could have appointed female bishops. But He chose not to, despite having candidates better than any of the dissident "womanpriests" we have today, and it would be the height of arrogance to question His judgment.

Chick-fil-a was boycotted due to the remarks of the founder which were primarily critical of divorce. But the merest mention of traditional marriage, in any context, is enough to offend the modern soul. Of course, in the case of Chick-fil-a the customer base continued to support the company...

Many moderns seem to positively salivate at the opportunity to denigrate anything in the past, particularly things relating to their own culture, ancestors and religion. Note how it is more and more universally agreed that absolutely nothing good whatsoever came out of the crusades and that...

An explicit example with a similar situation might help you understand. Take the issue of chess. Chess grandmasters are overwhelmingly male. That's a fact that no one disputes. But what is this evidence of? In fact it could be used either as evidence supporting the idea that chess clubs are...

And when I say "competition" I don't entirely just mean generally gathering your private information. I mean specifically using it for political purposes.

The more I get glimpses into the modern state of the FBI, the more I think that maybe J Edgar's era was a low point in corruption for the institution.

Makes sense to me that Facebook would ban people for privacy violations, since no business wants to give aid to its competition.

Obviously women are smarter and more capable then men, making up for any deficiencies. In fact, this explanation is so obvious that the only reason that David Grusky would have overlooked it is because he is in fact a huge misogynist.

Many people have as an axiom that if different groups do not do equally well, then explicit oppression must be to blame. Since this is an axiom there is no assortment of evidence which could get them to change their minds on this. Indeed, since the view is axiomatic, the view will determine...

Really, the thing that mystifies me about this is that the Vatican simply didn't forge a letter. I mean, the reason that they are getting into hot water is that they redacted a letter to remove the parts that were contrary to the agenda that they wanted to push, and they did this quite clumsily...

Update on the letter: even more of the letter has been released. A translation is available here. or to post the translation on CF directly: Seems pretty clear that this part of the letter wasn't accidentally or arbitrarily removed.

Having mission failure tied to killing non-combatants is fairly common. Goldeneye was an early example of this, but there are plenty of games afterwards that have the same requirements. Even Thief, where you are (not surprisingly) a thief and thus a criminal, would instantly fail you on the...

The most absurd thing about this is that it's completely self defeating. If your truth is just your truth, then there is no reason why my truth can't be that my truth is your truth. Thus there is no way for a truth relativists to object to truth "being forced upon him" since if my truth is...

The courts will do that regardless of how this case is settled.
