Jebus H Christmas, this lady has a (most likely) non-viable ***** residing inside her womb, can we make a decision and be done with it.

And Texas AG Paxton, I would love to know what "irreparable loss" the state of Texas will suffer if this lady aborts an non-viable *****. We've got "*****-women" crushing "real women" in women's sports. Women can't abort a ***** that is most likely to be stillborn and even she has a live birth, the child isn't likely to make beyond the first year. Thanks a lot ideologues.

Kate Cox can't get abortion for now, Texas Supreme Court court says, halting judge's OK

A Texas state judge authorized a woman, Kate Cox, to terminate her pregnancy, but now the state Supreme Court has put the ruling on hold.

Seems reasonable enough. Now lets see if the school board feels like it needs to go overboard and hide gender identity changes from parents, etc.

People tailgated at a school board meeting to watch new members reverse extremist policies

It only took a couple of hours to undue the anti-*****+ policies the previous members had instituted...

LOL - yeah trying to "blackmail" Elon Musk with money is probably not going to work. Don't they get Twitter/X isn't about money - he literally bought the company at a lost when he could have walked away.

Precisely. The fact that you would even reference the volume someone is speaking at as having any relevance to do with freedom of speech tells us you don’t understand what freedom of speech is.

Yet you will continue to argue about the topic of freedom of speech, knowing nothing about it.
That’s a terrible stance to be arguing from.

You are the one who used yelling fire in a crowded theater as an example of free speech.

Show me a person who you think is not biased, or a person who claims they are not biased, and I will prove you wrong or prove they are a liar. Every single person on this planet is biased. It’s what keeps us alive.

Being biased is one thing being an extremest when it comes to being biased is what starts conflicts. YOU are extreme.

If I was responding to facts, which are not trival shit, then why were you bringing up "trival shit?"

Was there a some reason that you felt you needed to clarify that while we're a net petro exported, we're a net crude importer? Were you were trying to educate us or do you just post random tangential facts for no particular reason?

For the most part I don't correct people's grammer, so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up or why you felt it necessary to add clarification to @Firewalker's original post. Seems like you're just posting a bunch of random stuff and then taking offense that somebody responded to it; creating arguments for argument's sake.

At this point I don't even give a shit what the original conversation contained. It has become trivial. I also explained what I meant in regards to what was trivial. Apparently you missed that, twice. You and Rob both shift focus so damn much I don't know how either of you communicate and actually understand or retain information. Case in point, just because I am talking to YOU in my response does not mean I am calling YOU out. We know who does the grammar corrections here, RobGMN.

I will ask this, if I am explaining something to you and it doesn't make sense, do you have the same issues with instructions that come with things you purchase or do you just toss out the instructions because you already contain all the knowledge you need in life? Is that why you guys get confused when people post explanations? I am also being pretty sarcastic right now because it baffles me how much you and Rob just don't get. It is almost like your first instinct is to take personal offense to what someone says and or take everything literal then respond to it.

I know who likes to correct grammar, but I have no idea why you're responding to my posts about it. At this point I can only guess you're tired of arguing with Rob and posted a "clarification" to Firewalker's post and then bitched and whined about me posting a "clarification" to your post in an attempt to create an inane argument with somebody other Rob. I do find it interesting that any discussion with you seems to take these odd paths of discussing the inane and trival, but you blame it on others.

If you ever actually want to discuss political, social and economic issues using data, facts, stats, etc, then feel free to hit me up. If you want to play these games, I guess you can continue playing with Rob.

Who's playing games? Firewalker made a post #32,941, yes? I responded to THAT post with my post #32,943, a factual statement, yes? You came in with your response post #32,946, yes? In response to my post with what is an attempt to educate me as to what petroleum is and includes the information that confirms my factual post. That information being "petroleum includes crude oil AND products, while crude oil is just the raw, unprocessed oil itself."

The point is, you didn't need to clarify anything. You just assumed I lacked the knowledge of what crude oil is and what petroleum means. Tell me I am wrong.

As far as the conversations using data, facts, stats, etc... You and Rob can titillate each other with your abilities to Google those things all you like. They are not conversations they are trivial post containing information already posted by other people. It takes no brain power to parrot these things back and forth. Having an in depth conversation sharing thoughts and opinions on topics is far more intellectual and engaging. If these conversations aren't to your liking then you can continue to play with yourself.

It's interesting that when somebody posts a fact, you assume it's because they assume you're uneducated, stupid, etc. Personally, at this point, I think you posted that tangential fact purely to stir the shyt; there seems to no point to what you posted. Rather than say, "I posted the crude #'s for x,y & z reasons," you chose to go down this road. I can only assume had I asked "why are you posting crude #'s?" I would gotten some sort of response along the lines of how arrogant it is of me to think you owe me an explanation, etc.

The question that comes to mind is whether or not you can see that everything you're saying about my clarification to you post equally applies to your "clarification" of Firewalker's post?

There is no need to get ugly or take these post personally. Calm down. If you read his post he made some statements that are factually inaccurate. I responded to that with factual information. You know, like you and Rob claim to do. What is the problem here?

Stem cells are the body's raw materials — cells from which all other cells with specialized functions are generated.

I think things like this is why aliens don't visit us. Don't watch this if you are squeamish, you know, because you just buy chicken in a bag from the garden of Walmart. Do people know how dark we really are :

You are the one who used yelling fire in a crowded theater as an example of free speech.

Because it IS an example of free speech. Why are you so hung up on “yelling” when that is not the relevant part of the best-known example of exercising the right?

Being biased is one thing being an extremest when it comes to being biased is what starts conflicts. YOU are extreme.

Explain a bit further.
Contrast my bias against Trump that is based on known facts about him with your bias against Biden, which is based on simple hatred.

Is blind bias better than educated bias?
Which one do you think is more likely to cause a conflict: educated, bias, or blind bias?
For example, I just like Trump, because of all the known ****** impropriety. This includes the things he has admitted himself. You dislike Biden because you think he is a *********. Even though there has never been anything close to an accusation, or any self admittance.
It almost seems that you think he is a ********* simply so you have an excuse to dislike him.

Which bias do you think makes more sense?

Freedom of speech is a protected form of expression. Yelling, shouting or otherwise of the word fire in a crowded theater IS NOT protected by the 1st amendment.

Explain a bit further.
Contrast my bias against Trump that is based on known facts about him with your bias against Biden, which is based on simple hatred.

You have no problem looking past lawlessness, breaking the law, illegal activities of the political party members you support. You have no problem insulting, berating, belittling or calling out any Trump supporter and you don't even need any information to do so other than that trigger word "Trump" being attached to that person.

Is blind bias better than educated bias?

Of course not. Is it prudent to walk through life just assuming all Trump supporters are beneath you, uneducated or mentally ill?

Which one do you think is more likely to cause a conflict: educated, bias, or blind bias?

In these cases? Your blind biases.

For example, I just like Trump, because of all the known ****** impropriety. This includes the things he has admitted himself. You dislike Biden because you think he is a *********. Even though there has never been anything close to an accusation, or any self admittance.
It almost seems that you think he is a ********* simply so you have an excuse to dislike him.

Which bias do you think makes more sense?

You apparently have no idea why I would dislike Biden. His sniffing of kids is pretty disturbing, yes, however this is not why I dislike him. I find him to be a poor President with poor ethics and morals.

I assume you meant you "dislike" Trump because of his alleged ****** impropriety... dislike out of jealousy because he has game or because your view of *** is repressed or it is just one more thing you can use as fuel to drive your biased hatred of Trump. There are plenty of Democrats who have done some pretty messed up things sexually... why not call them out too and include them in your hatred?

The point is you are one-way with your bias. It's obvious. It's perfectly fine for you to be that way however, it is going to and has caused conflicts.

Are you now going to take this personal, lash out and insult me in a condescending way, tell me my opinions are wrong, flip out because I spoke poorly of Biden, scream and shout because I used the trigger word 4 times?
