The Abstract Truth

@KennethParrott6 @Hondo320F16 @ToddHagopian When you roll your vehicle with narcotics in your system and have a history of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, the inference is you rolled your car because of the massive amounts of narcotics in yoir system.

But he didn’t fail any test (which is outside the scope of the discussion at hand). You don’t know if he was the one that didn’t maintain control. He could well have been hit or swerved to avoid something that darted out. So really, you don’t know shit. You assume. You have no truth.

Florida’s implied consent law sets a urine trap Refuse the piss test: 1-year suspension + misdemeanor charge. Tiger blew .000 - still hit with DUI. Pills linger for weeks in urine This is state-sponsored false-incrimination End the outdated urine witch-hunt. #TigerWoods

@KennethParrott6 @Hondo320F16 @ToddHagopian From the picture alone I can derive that someone failed to maintain control of their vehicle. And then, with the added info that it was Tiger's car and he tested positive for narcotics after this, and you can start to make some pretty reasonable inferences.

@AbstractTruthSP @Hondo320F16 @ToddHagopian Like what? What truth do you derive from this and this alone?

@Oilfield_Rando And that's why you chucklefucks are going to lose. Your anger makes you stupid.

Like I actually want the dictator they’re pretending to protest against. That’s how much I despise them.

The boomerlibs at the “No Kings” rallies wanted me forcibly vaccinated, fired, put in a camp, and dead because they were scared shitless of a 99.999% survivable virus. I was laid off six months. They yelled at me in the store for not wearing the dumb mask. I truly despise them.

@duck_crypt0 @Cateran1954 @sailor_rog19339 @roddreher Turn the watch factories into drone factories and you get the ultimate in 21st century combat: The Swiss Army Drone It can deliver a payload, supply drops, provide real time reconnaissance, and pick your teeth at the same fucking time.

@Cateran1954 @sailor_rog19339 @roddreher LOL What will Switzerland buy? FCAS??

Wait … we STOLE Switzerland’s money?! Am I reading this right?

@IAmJakeHuffaker @AgoristN Best economic times of my life have all been under Dems. Clinton and Obama had the thing rolling and then W and Trump put it in a ditch with stupid wars and stupider economic policies.

@AgoristN How often does voting democrat work?

@CPAC You guys brought in Druski? This is worse that Borat!

The Left is erasing women—letting men into our spaces, stealing opportunities, and even blocking a women’s museum to push their agenda. We’re not standing for it. We’ve got a country to save.

@LAallDay248 @hoffridder @southsidejoeyb @realtordotcom Because your failson kids did shit to earn it. And they are still coming out like bandits after tax so quit crying for the silver spoons.

@hoffridder @southsidejoeyb @realtordotcom It’s a bit more than that, but still. Why should what I earned, what I paid taxes on already, get taxed again before my kids get it?

When Willa Staats and her brother inherited their family's East Austin home and adjacent lot, they expected a windfall. Instead, they were hit with a $48,000 property tax bill, nearly 90% higher than what their father had paid and more than half of Staats' salary. As a longtime homeowner, their father had benefited from a homestead exemption capping annual tax increases at 10%. But when the property passed to his heirs, the taxable value reset to market rate, right at the peak of Austin's pandemic-era boom.

@KennethParrott6 @Hondo320F16 @ToddHagopian A picture of a car on its side actually tells yoi quite a bit

@Hondo320F16 @ToddHagopian A still picture of a car tells me absolutely nothing.

@zeenuf00 @C130GuyBNA @mattforney This is why I wasn't even sure if you meant to reply to me. It was a near nonsensical response. I never made a claim on whether objective morality exists.

@AbstractTruthSP @C130GuyBNA @mattforney 'I understand the argument for advantages of objective morality.' I never made that argument. Stop dreaming things up.

Wrong. This woman killed New Atheism. If you're not familiar with Rebecca Watson, she's a tenth-tier atheist blogger who kicked up a stink back in 2011 when she went to an atheist conference in Dublin and some dude hit on her in the elevator. She ranted endlessly about how "creepy" he was and how "unsafe" being asked out on a date made her feel and the incident was dubbed "Elevatorgate." Richard Dawkins waded into the fracas and suggested that being hit on in an elevator wasn't the end of the world. He asked you out, Becky, you weren't interested, end of. This caused everyone to FREAK OUT at Dawkins' "misogyny" and about the supposed problem with "misogyny" in atheism in general, leading large numbers of prominent atheists such as PZ Myers and Jen McCreight to split off into Atheism Plus. Atheism Plus was atheism with a rape whistle, its adherents more focused on fighting da patriarchy then with stuff that...actually has to do with atheism. That's why atheism collapsed in on itself as a sociopolitical force. The left, per usual, ate themselves alive.

@zeenuf00 @C130GuyBNA @mattforney Do you have an argument beyond "think how bad society would be if there weren't objective morals" That it would suck if there were no god doesn't prove the existence of god. That's cope, not evidence.

@AbstractTruthSP @C130GuyBNA @mattforney Idiots like you argue that there is no such thing as objective morals, but live as if there ARE objective morals.

@TomQuick1756 @SteveLovesAmmo Ahh. You one of em huh? A slackjaw'd Cleetus with a drawl? Or one of those effeminate plantation types?

@AbstractTruthSP @SteveLovesAmmo Sorry, I didn’t realize you were retarded

6 in a landslide.

@zeenuf00 @C130GuyBNA @mattforney Did you mean to respond to me? I understand the argument for advantages of objective morality. But this does nothing to show that objective morality exists or requires god.

@AbstractTruthSP @C130GuyBNA @mattforney As an example: whenever you leave your home and go out in public, you have a reasonable expectation that no one will rob you, right? WHY? Because you assume that you live in a culture that has determined it is objectively wrong and immoral to rob people.

@cafreiman I feel like a balance of about 10:1 is right. Every 10 dollars they spend on the health and wellbeing of an American, they can have $1 to blow shit up far away.

You can certainly argue that we shouldn’t increase defense spending, but its worth acknowledging that we spend far more on entitlement programs than defense:

@Shuttlecock Nonsense. It always sucked. And anyone who wasn't a pure 90s NPC was well aware.

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.

@JessicaBRiedl @brianros1 Eliminate the FICA cap.

Ok, but 1) No one is kicking the rich off Social Security - just not giving rich couples $100k benefits that dwarf the poor. 2) EITC, child credit, mortgage interest deduction, UI, SSI, SNAP, Medicaid all continue to exist without providing huge upper-income benefits 3) Raising the FICA cap would annoy the rich as much as capping their benefits.

I’ll say it again: everything we know about history says if you stop making Social Security universal, you start weakening the program’s longtime political support.

@paleonormie Going to be limited to mall security work after this, but a bucks a buck.

Aging millennials are handling this really poorly lol Gen Z kids have so little opportunity that no amount of comparing ice to the gestapo is gonna dissuade them from their most direct route to a livable income

@C130GuyBNA @mattforney So you want there to be objective morals? Neat. How does that go to show that there are? Whole argument boils down to "there must be a god because it would suck if there isn't one." Piss poor reasoning tbh. 2) The Golden Rule is inherent in our universe and our position in it.

Morals derived by man aren’t objective. Objectively. Absent morality, you might have some passionate beliefs that they are of no relevance to me. Those are your rules with no consequence whatsoever since you have no influence at all over me. This is why when atheism dominates a culture (Soviet Union for instance) the government becomes God because it is the source of truth. If the government legalize child molestation then it’s legally/morally OK. Who is to say otherwise other than the government? Possibly some kid you molested has a father who is stronger than you and he prevents you from molesting his kid because he believes it is morally wrong even if you do not. Like it or dislike it, that is the hard truth for atheist, there is literally no such thing as truth/morality if you are an atheist. There is only what you personally believe, people that you are in community with have agreed to believe, and people who you have the power to dominate have been forced to believe/follow and that’s it. Cultures around the world and throughout history did not consider slavery immoral only undesirable (meaning “own the slave slaves don’t be a slave”) but then in the modern era, led predominantly by Christians and overwhelmingly from England, military, economic, diplomatic pressure forced that new set of moral beliefs on everyone so even to the present day most people agree slavery is bad… Unless you live in a country like Libya(or even Ethiopia who still has slavery they just call it different things to hide it) something that you find morally objectionable is not morally objectionable to them it’s simply something they tried to cover up to avoid penalty. Every serious atheist knows this. All of the halfway atheists, the college freshman atheists, the coffee shop atheists, they believe otherwise but serious, rational thinkers know that for the atheist “do as thou wilt“ is the whole of the law.

@C130GuyBNA @mattforney I have always thought this was a particularly terrible argument. 1) That I wouldn't like it to be true is not good evidence that it isn't. 2) morals derived from a god aren't objective 3) Ignores what the evidence actually tells us about existence.

It’s actually an interesting study in atheism. Apart from “what is legal” atheism by nature has no morality because there are no external requirements beyond “due as thou wilt“ as long as you can get away with it legally. All that you’re left with is survival of the fittest and as a female, if you cannot handle people either hitting on you in accordance with their biological imperative (in the absence of civility morals) or even a genuine aggressive approach (in the absence of chivalry/chastity morals) then you have no redress. There’s no moral code to appeal to (“you should not say blah blah blah to a girl“) so you either take care of yourself or admit that you deserved whatever you got. People love atheism but they don’t like the natural consequences of atheism. They like atheism as long as it is within the context of an overall culture of a Judeo-Christian ethics/society.

@WayneWaldropW Maybe these online influencers don't make good leaders?

This aged horribly. I can admit when I am wrong. What an absolute disappointment. Dude made a whole career out of trashing the Deep State online just to join them.

@TomQuick1756 @SteveLovesAmmo The north fought with one hand tied behind its back nearly the entire time. And even then, the south's hopes laid with the north getting bored or being saved by euros. Because ultimately, southerners are a lazy people whose valor cannot overcome their lack of industry and grit.

You should read some history books (preferably the ones written by non-Jews). You’d be surprised to learn that the South always handed the North a thorough ass-whipping when the numbers were even. Lincoln famously said that the war would only end when he found a general who understood the "arithmetic" of using Union superiority in manpower to "send dead bodies north" (or simply "lose all") to win. The North was importing every immigrant that stepped off the boats and sending them directly into the fight. It took 4 solid years of this to finally get the South to surrender.
