Wrong as usual. Seriously, read the ACTUAL paper rather than the denier site interpretation. I'll give you a clue because science clearly escapes you. Look at where the Winkler study focuses.
-
Agree - with Giuliani now saying that it was OK to get information from the russians about a competitor.
-
You are missing the point. There aren't really 2 valid sides, there is Science, and there is Fiction that is beholden to politics. You are living in the fictional realm.

I suspect he has realised he's losing a lot of the more moderate end of his party. This is his way of trying to get people to associate back to the party and some of its more sensible tenets rather than Trump vs the world.
-
I suspect he doesn't really understand. I don't see his posts anymore though which is nice.
-
Wow. His orangeness is getting very irate about the report that totally exonerates him. It's almost as if it doesn't. At all.
-
Why is the fact that its GA a surprise?
-
I think you could swap "Sanctuary Laws" with just about any pressing issue right now.
-
OK - it's not hard to look this up but as an example the budget proposed in January had: about $22 billion in total funding for Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement $675 million for scanners at points of entry $502 million for "humanitarian concerns at the border" such as food and medical care $400 million in border security technology, 1,000 new customs agents $156.7 million for new boats, planes and sensors. USA Today What it did not have, was 23BN (or even 5BN) for a wall that would be an utter waste of money. So pretty much every single thing you have built into this strawman is false, but keep going, it's entertaining watching your flights of fancy.

I'm genuinely interested in whether you think that comment a) Makes a point? b) Makes a joke? or c) makes you look really dumb?
-
Except that's not true is it. Be honest now.

Julian Assange kicked out of Ecuador Embassy, arrested by British

No no no I think he said today he's not really aware of wikileaks, or it only made the coffee or something! -
Reread the quote - it does NOT say nations will be wiped off the earth by 2000. So, you are still wrong.

Agree with regards to Autonomous vehicles - I'm actually pretty relieved that by the time I can't drive any more I probably won't need to! Autonomous and EV does go hand in hand. 5G doesn't really help autonomy though - thats a bit of a myth coming from the carriers pushing 5G. Not until there is a chance of the whole country being properly blanketed, which will not happen - potentially ever. I'm lucky enough to work with some guys who are working on Autonomous driving software and 5G apparently isn't even really talked about in that context.
-
Yep - thats pretty much the way it's going.

No-one knows <insert topic here> better than Trump

No. He's just not that bright. -
Except for the fact that Chicago is about 10th on the list. Given that most of the ones higher have more lax laws, by your logic the controls are working.
-
Since my children were born, I don't.
-
Wow, that's pretty lax. Over here in the US, simply showing a holstered pistol without even touching it could get you thrown in jail. Waving a gun around? That could get you killed very quickly, and justifiably so. You are missing the point (intentionally I suspect - it's that or stupidity and you get the benefit of the doubt) The use of a gun "for self defence" in NZ is not a valid reason to apply for, or have, a license. Yep - the "good guy with a gun" myth needs to be put to sleep. Owning guns fundamentally makes you less safe.
-
I hold a NZ FAL. It's pretty easy to get at the lower level (bolt action hunting rifles and shotguns etc). The one for AR style rifles is much more stringent. It is however a very different culture to the US - if you were to start waving a gun around "in self defence" you'd have the book thrown at you very quickly. It's primarily for hunting/ targets.

Steady now

Just block him. I've blocked one person so far and the average IQ displayed in the posts I read has jumped significantly.
-
Don't be silly, selective memory doesn't go back that far!
-
HOLY SHIT. I just read the opening statement. This is going to be goooood Opening statement
-
That's my take on it as well. I get the impression he is doing it because a few people want him to rather than his heart actually being in it. It's a different dynamic this time round.
