    Twitter Permanently Suspends Conservative Writer For Targeted Abuse

    Do I think it would be 'ok' as in a morally upright thing to do? No. Do I think it would be within their rights as a business? Yes. The same goes for bakers, photographers, antique shop owners, etc. Of course, as the law stands, for them to do such a thing would be illegal under the Civil...

    Twitter Permanently Suspends Conservative Writer For Targeted Abuse

    Let me preface my statements by saying that Twitter is a private company and they should be allowed to deny their services to whoever they wish for any reason they choose. However, it is annoying that Twitter's CEO (at least, I think it was the CEO) has hailed the company as a beacon of...

    Once Palestine is liberated, what should happen to the Zionists there

    Just assuming your assertion that the state of Israel is illegal and should not exist is correct, which it isn't, let us ask this question: should we really be that concerned? Israel is the most western country in the Middle East; it is one of the only countries in the Middle East that people...

    Cellphones

    This is perhaps a bit off-topic, but I agree wholeheartedly, especially with the point about hand writing. I think many people don't understand the virtue writing things, such as lecture-notes and rough-drafts for papers, by hand. It really helps with recalling information to write down notes...

    Cellphones

    Yes, but it isn't entirely the fault of the cellphone, in my opinion. I too see it everywhere; the people walking in the store, or down the street, glued to their phone screen, the family sitting in the restaurant with forks in one hand and phones in the other, and, most infuriating, the people...

    "White Boy Privilege" Goes viral.

    No, if you're white, he probably wanted you to join in and start apologizing for things you've never done and for situations which don't exist.

    "White Boy Privilege" Goes viral.

    Please, excuse me while I go and repeatedly slam my head into a wall.

    The Johnson Amendment

    They are not the same thing. Yet, they are both, essentially, beliefs. They aren't that different. Many people hold certain religious beliefs for no logical reason, they simply do. Likewise, there are likely many people who hold select political beliefs for no logical reason, they simply do; 'it...

    The Johnson Amendment

    I don't see how I took anything out of context. You said, "If they [churches] are preaching politics, then it's no longer separation of church and state." I simply see this as an erroneous understanding of the separation of church and state. I should amend my earlier post, though, and add that...

    The Johnson Amendment

    Separation of church and state does not mean the churches can't discuss politics, it means the government should not create and enforce policy based on religious beliefs. It does not violate the separation of church and state for a church to express a political opinion. Apologies for interrupting.

    For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I do

    Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I I know, but I hold out hope that if he is hit over the head with the truth enough times that he will eventually come to some semblance of sense.

    For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I do

    Re: For those of you who think that nobody could possibly believe in communism like I I have cut the quote for length, any who wish may look at the original post. You imply that Communism is rule by the people, when this is simply not the case. Time and again, history, and its proponents...

    Why highways are the center of the civil rights protest

    Except, they don't commit fewer crimes. And, apologies, but I generally refrain from clicking on links in message boards, just as a matter of security.

    This is what justice for Alton Sterling or Philando Castile would look like.

    As far as I am aware, we still don't have all the facts related to Sterling's case or Castile's. The video of Sterling doesn't provide a clear view of his hands, and he did have a gun on him and may well have been reaching for it. The Castile shooting does not look good for the officer, but...

    Why highways are the center of the civil rights protest

    That is not what I said. Read my post again; I said there is no evidence for institutional, what BLM and the like professes to protest, racism in the U.S.
