Comments by "D Mc" (@dmc8092) on "The Rubin Report" channel.

  1. Trae Crowder is fantastic and I know he's gonna trigger some of your libertarian and right wing fanboys. Thank you for this interview!
    42
  2. I've begun to realize that this is all distraction. so many are so focused on these SJWs who, in the grand scheme of things aren't that important that they are ignoring actual suppression of free speech by the government.
    39
  3. Judging by a lot of the rightist and libertarian response to this video and the people saying he's not real--it seems like it's not just the left that is dismissive of Southerners.
    31
  4. It's amazing how many of Carlin's routines still work.
    29
  5. Peter Hitchens? You have got to be kidding. He's not "the Hitch", that would have been his brother.
    25
  6. Very interesting. It will also be interesting to see how this triggers your regular viewers.
    24
  7. +Billy Bong Are you comparing this to female forced genital mutilation?
    23
  8. Why do you have to pick one. They can both be true.
    22
  9. Very cool, thank you for having on this really brave man.
    21
  10. I don't know why Milo is wanted on college campuses in the first place. What value does he actually bring other than being provocative?
    20
  11. Interesting to see how you and Jimmy Dore get along despite the fact that he's had a huge part in Cenk's continuing misrepresenting Sam Harris' statements.
    18
  12. Libertarians like to say they are just fiscally conservative and socially liberal--but it's really not that simple.
    18
  13. What are you talking about?
    18
  14. +Jacob Harrison He was downright creepy.
    14
  15. There is actual evidence of evolution. It can be taught showing data and physical evidence. Creationism can't.
    13
  16. The "both sides do it" isn't a defense. It doesn't make it right.
    12
  17. This guy is so smart. Really great interview. He puts many of the ideologues you've had on the show to shame.
    12
  18. Obo299 Sure they can. They don't cancel each other out. You can be poor and white and white privilege can still exist.
    12
  19. No, atheism is just the lack of belief in god. Atheists differ on almost every other issue. And if you think climate change is just an opinion we all know where you're coming from.
    12
  20. +Ross McGuinn It depends on people acting in a rational, honest and fair way.
    10
  21. +Billy Bong I think you do damage to your cause when you try to claim these are equal.
    10
  22. That's kind of a silly reason to become something.
    10
  23. Yeah, alt-conservatives are every bit as closed minded as feminists.
    9
  24. +DownBeatTime So humor is an alien concept to you.
    9
  25. I don't know. There were a lot of things here that should have been corrected. Like what evolution actually says.
    9
  26. He's talking about personal freedom. Not the freedom to sell whatever bullshit you want without any constraints or consequences for poisoning drinking water or selling snake oil and pretending it's medicine.
    9
  27. You can't actually deny that white supremacists have gotten behind Trump.
    8
  28. No. That's not what he said. He said he'd accept the outcome if he won. You're spinning and trying to make him sound more reasonable than he is.
    8
  29. Why are you complaining so much about progressives when they're not in charge?
    8
  30. I'm not sure Jones is capable of a discussion. I've never seen him have one.
    8
  31. The fact that you said that about this brilliant man says more about you than him. I feel bad for you.
    8
  32. ***** So, you have no argument so you resort to insults. Thanks, you're just like the SJWs.
    7
  33. The synapses were not all firing here.
    7
  34. +DownBeatTime It was clearly presented as a joke and did not misrepresent anything. And Donald Trump is a racist so that's not a misrepresentation either.
    7
  35. adam rassat Either you are really ignorant of our constitution or you're a troll. Freedom of speech is COMPLETELY about government involvement. Read the First Amendment. You have no freedom from people calling you names. If all you Milo people are this dumb no wonder you're all such hypocrites. Dave needs to see what he's fostering here.
    7
  36. "Capitalism at any time creates more jobs than people"? Does he have any evidence of that at all?
    7
  37. +Islet of Langerhans There are a lot of straight guys and well as women in the media too. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
    7
  38. That's the problem when philosophers talk about science.
    7
  39. What conservatives are you talking about? What I've been noticing is that with the Trump win Conservatives are acting the exact same way they always accuse Liberals of acting.
    7
  40. I'll take you up on that because I actually know who he is.
    7
  41. What do you mean by "organized atheism" because from what I can tell there is no such thing.
    7
  42. +Kostas1601 I don't know how you got that out of what he said. The idea of an unbridled free market should make us all concerned. This is the problem of the kind of utopian thinking of libertarians, it's all dependent on business owners and corporations acting in the interest of humanity in general when that has never been what they've done.
    7
  43. ShermKlump Really? I didn't get that impression. It sounds like he's interested in parroting what all the other conservatives say at such lightning speed no one else can get a word in. Nothing he said here was in any way different than what most conservative pundits say.
    6
  44. Wait, he thinks things were good for people during the Industrial Revolution and Gilded Age? Has he read history at all? Child labor? Capitalism has no effect on wife beating drunks. This is all completely ridiculous.
    6
  45. +tblbaby I've watched Fox News and believe me--it's not bias to say that a great deal of what they say is bullshit suited only for comedy.
    6
  46. My criticism of Ayn Rand is that it's naive. The idea that people will act with rational self interest is just naive. People will do what's good for them without regard to whether it's good for the community.
    6
  47. ***** Funny. Prager says that liberals dismiss people with a word and here you are doing just that.
    6
  48. Most of the liberals I know are Christians. What a stupid comment.
    6
  49. Now that I know you are just making random posts that weren't meant to have a point I can just ignore you.Duck Speaker
    6
  50. Duck Speaker I did, but I don't post it on Youtube as though it somehow relates to this video.
    6
  51. +StarWarsomania It's always sweet when delusional people laugh at you. It's like a gift from a unicorn. You're such a kook.
    5
  52. ***** You think his reasoning and presentation were sharp? I think he was impaired.
    5
  53. And conservatives hate progress because it means they have to change.
    5
  54. So what?
    5
  55. The problem with this sort of philosophy, which is the same problem as libertarianism is that it depends on people acting in good faith. It's naive.
    5
  56. 7:54--One of the few times Dave has ever asked a guest if they have evidence for something.
    5
  57. NotAZombie It's not equal.  It's different. 
    5
  58. Roberto Garza Nah, you're an ignorant liar who is trying to justify your bias with bullshit.
    5
  59. Joseph Lisacchi Just shut up.
    5
  60. You're a kook.
    5
  61. No church (in the US) can be forded to marry anyone. You cannot be for gay rights and against gay marriage. You can be against marriage or government involvement in marriage but if you are against gay marriage specifically you are anti-gay rights.
    5
  62. I went to public schools and was never taught that capitalism is bad. What "state run schools" is he talking about?
    5
  63. I think you'll find it hard to find large groups of atheists who share any belief or ideology other than "I don't believe in any god."
    5
  64. I don't think that's actually true.
    5
  65. This is why anecdotal evidence is pretty much worthless.
    5
  66. ad hominem: directed against a person rather than the position they are maintaining. That wasn't an ad hominem. An ad hominem would have been "he's a child molester therefore he knows nothing about this subject.
    4
  67. Yeah, it's sort of like "everything sucks" but then he goes after people who are actually trying to do things. It's sort of a lazy, hipster douchebag type attitude.
    4
  68. Atheism was really a small part of this.
    4
  69. adam rassat You have to be stupid not to know what Freedom of Speech is. It's not that you get to say whatever you want and everyone else has to shut up. It's also not that people can't call you names. Read the First Amendment it's about the GOVERNMENT stifling speech, not citizens. I can't believe you don't know this.
    4
  70. "The left always measures success in terms of dollars"? And the right doesn't? It seems like some of these comments are very self serving. I don't think the left measures success in dollars any more than the right does--and possibly less.
    4
  71. Alexander Nevsky Didn't see any evidence of that in this video.
    4
  72. One of the best guests you've ever had.
    4
  73. GamerGaters on Steam Wow. That was a lot of bullshit. You can be completely racist--what they actually say is that you don't have the power to discriminate. But I love how you use the same methods you claim to hate about liberals in order to silence people who question you. But what's also great is what a hypocrite you are.
    4
  74. NotAZombie You can call attention to it and show that it's wrong on it's own terms without trying to diminish female genital mutilation. 
    4
  75. Billy Bong People do frown on it.  But there needs to be education.  The severity does, and should matter.
    4
  76. +kosmoincalgary Maybe before you say these kind of things you should find out who she is and what has happened to her life.
    4
  77. Roberto Garza You know that when someone says "calm down" they're really saying "I know I was wrong so I'm going to try to make you seem irrational." You are wrong. You don't know what you're talking about but you can't just stop trying to defend yourself. So really, just take your lick and walk away.
    4
  78. Roberto Garza It's not. Tell you what, you supply your credentials for deciding what accents are real and I'll care about what you say.
    4
  79. Seth A Why do I need to give you a rebuttal? But, as your last comment shows. You dismiss him because he's a Southerner. You do exactly what they criticize liberals of doing in this video. I don't need to rebut you because I don't feel that what you said actually has much merit. Sorry hon, but you not liking his accent isn't, as one of those libertarians always says, "not an argument."
    4
  80. Dave, I like your interviews but I think that in your efforts to be ingratiating you have let this guest get away with several misleading statements, such as--Iraq did not attack us on 9-11 and they were not a threat to us when the Bush administration lied to us to get us to attack the wrong country. And that's just the most obvious. I think that while it's great to reach out we can't let conservatives get away with untruths any more than we can let regressive liberals get away with untruths.
    4
  81. German Realist The thing is, what Milo and many of his fanboys seem to think is that freedom of speech means you also don't get social repercussions. They think freedom of speech means you can harass people and that no one is supposed to be able to say anything about it. I think it's stupid for these groups to get people removed from speaking engagements--but they do have the right to protest. I think it would be better not to shout people down while they're speaking and it only gives Milo what he really wants--which is attention--but many of the people who claim they are for freedom of speech think that it ends once the person they agree with speaks.
    4
  82. What difference does it make? If you are opposed to gay marriage you are opposed to equal rights for gays. It doesn't matter if it's equivalent to something else or not, it's still a discriminatory stance.
    4
  83. Please. He's had Dinesh D'Souza, John McCain, Michael Steele and Sargon of Akkad on.
    4
  84. Does it keep you from hearing what she's saying?
    4
  85. Except that Larry Elder still wants the government to control a woman's body. Civil rights shouldn't be left up to the state. It's so great that he doesn't mind that the states took away the rights of gay people to get married--seeing as how it doesn't affect him.
    4
  86. singlecellorganism13 Yeah, his arguments about how without god there is no morality are also really sketchy. He's really not up to the level of Dave's best guests.
    4
  87. Adam Fitzpatrick Just last month conservatives were boycotting companies for not saying "Merry Christmas" enough. The reason you don't see it is because you agree with it.
    4
  88. There was not actually a debate here and most of Prager's statements were pretty shaky. He doesn't seem to know what evolution actually says, he makes a lot of charges against the left that are just as true as the right but there was no one on this video to challenge him.
    4
  89. BUGZNTA No, poor white people get shoved under the bus because they vote against their own interests because they buy the fake idea put forth by the rich that the colored people are here to take their jobs.
    4
  90. Sam, do you actually put Milo in the same category as Maher and Sommers as far as "getting out of people's personal lives and not othering and judging everybody in based on color, sex and religion" because I don't see that in him. I feel he got involved in Gamergate because he's anti-feminist not because he's so in favor of freedom.
    4
  91. But Trump's character is problematic. He's a thin skinned baby who never lets anything go and will call people names for the slightest slight. He also seems to just "retweet" everything without stopping to consider what they say and then act as though he didn't do it--or, in other words, he doesn't take responsibility for his actions. There's also the question of how he's been on both sides of almost every issue at one point or the other (sometimes within the same sentence). These things are all about his character and they are not things many of us want in a President.
    4
  92. ***** So is anyone who doesn't buy objectivism a sjw? You are actually just as bad as these sjws. You use the term "sjw" to shut down conversations you don't like. 
    4
  93. Dave, how much of this stuff do you actually buy?
    4
  94. Don't care about Brexit but Trump lost the popular vote and has been just as PC in his own way as any third wave feminist.
    4
  95. rich5562000 I know someone who lies on Youtube and says he knows people.
    3
  96. Interesting that Steele thinks there's nothing wrong with this.
    3
  97. Was he drunk during this interview?
    3
  98. Fearlessechoes73 Or, it could be that he's just not funny.  Sarcasm is really one of the lazier forms of humor--but he seems pretty lazy.
    3
  99. Silencing climate scientists. Silencing Elizabeth Warren on the Senate Floor. Threatening reporters. Body slamming reporters when they ask about the healthcare plan. Those were just the things that sprang to mind. If I googled I'm sure I could find even more. If you were paying attention you wouldn't have had to ask.
    3
  100. I'm surprised at the lack of knee-jerk anti-feminist posts. Well done so far. I'm sure it will change but it's nice for now.
    3
  101. Yeah, calling someone gay is so funny. Great joke. You have a great sense of humor back in 1992.
    3
  102. They've been using the toilet of their choice for years and no one noticed.
    3
  103. adam rassat Great shifting the goal posts (actually, really clumsy shifting the goal posts), but you still have not acknowledged that freedom of speech is about government involvement. I realize that you don't know what you're talking about and are just completely ignorant of what the first amendment is but until you can acknowledge that I'm not going to engage with you because I'm not the jackass whisperer.
    3
  104. Interesting how many people here are triggered by even the mentioning of gun control. They aren't even willing to consider anything other than "give me all the guns I want with no restrictions at all".
    3
  105. I think some of the MRAs are their own worst enemies (just like many feminists are) there are a lot of really good issues that need to be addressed but the stridency of some of them turn you off to the movement as a whole.
    3
  106. So, Freedom of Speech Warrior. Do you still think, as a woman has been sentenced for laughing at Jeff Sessions and Trump is talking about altering the First Amendment, do you still think the biggest threat to free speech is from the Left?
    3
  107. She needs to have a good talk with John Idarola.
    3
  108. Interesting, I find it very strange when I hear liberal gay men defending Islam against even actual incidents of anti-gay violence or statements.
    3
  109. Alexander Nevsky Not in any substantive way. He also said a lot of demonstrably false things about both Republicans and Democrats and bascially strawmanned what they supposedly stand for.
    3
  110. How, in any way can Islam which suppresses the rights of women lead to feminism?
    3
  111. +talsapps I just looked up the transgender wrestler story and you have completely misrepresented it. It is a transgender female to male who wanted to wrestle boys but was forced to wrestle girls. The reason it was controversial is that they think the hormones will give "him" an advantage. So, because he was a girl on his birth certificate he was forced to wrestle girls when he wanted to wrestle boys--which would not have given him an advantage. Did you not know the story or did you purposely misrepresent it?
    3
  112. Did she have any sort of treatments? Hormones? Operations? Or was she just being a troll, because, really, what she did was just silly and not important.
    3
  113. What is the Jew card? It seems like they were talking about Jews and Jewish issues. Is it like when racists complain about people using the race card?
    3
  114. Roberto Garza Nah, you're just stupid and wrong and you've made claims that are just false. Sorry dude, you're either ignorant or a liar, but you might just be an ignorant liar, it seems likely. Go ahead and present you credentials in dialects though. That will be interesting to see.
    3
  115. Roberto Garza In other words, no you have no expertise. I can be dismissive of you because there is no reason to take you seriously. You are making a charge that isn't true and is actually verifiable. And his twang "cuts in and out"? Bullshit.
    3
  116. Dave Morrison Or maybe it was because he never told his nephew about it or because those bigots didn't realize he was gay. You don't know.
    3
  117. Seth A Sure hon. Bless your heart.
    3
  118. Michael Burgendy That's not a definition of capitalism. The benefit of the two parties doesn't come in to it. Also, with slave labor the owners and buyers benefited--the workers didn't.  The real definition of capitalism is: An economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. And the idea that this system automatically benefits everyone is incredibly naive.
    3
  119. Michael Burgendy History would prove you wrong. The problem with this philosophy is that it doesn't work in real life. It relies on people just believing what they say without actually looking at real life.
    3
  120. Michael Burgendy You really think small children working in mines are doing it voluntarily? Are you really that naive?
    3
  121. Thank you. This is really interesting. As an American I didn't study this in school.
    3
  122. cloudazer Science is bringing out the worst in people? How is this the fault of science and not the fault of people not knowing wtf they are condemning? And if you believe in creationism you are a creationist. This isn't my narrative--it's what the word means.
    3
  123. Arturo Luna And I think you are someone else who doesn't really know what the evidence for evolution is. You should also go out and learn what you're talking about before you start talking based on a few stories on the internet. The fact that you use a term like "neo-Darwinist" makes me question whether you know anything at all. In fact, I think it makes it pretty clear that you are coming at this as a creationist and that you don't understand what evolution is. In fact, you could just look at the writings of Mr. Coyne here.
    3
  124. +Mephistahpheles You have so completely missed the point that I'm kind of stunned you have the nerve to be tutting about bad educators. So, you think that creationism and evolution are on equal standing? You are a victim of what I am talking about. The fact is, in many schools, evolution is not allowed to be taught at all. There is actual evidence for evolution. There is overwhelming evidence in fact. There is no evidence for creationism. Creationism is not science and should not be taught in science classes. Evolution is not an opinion, it's not just this idea with nothing to back it up.
    3
  125. Vampyricon Unfortunately in this country religious people are far more powerful that academics, especially when it comes to issues of dealing with children. I agree that the education needs to be better but it's not just a matter of "teachers need to do better" it's that evolution, in their minds, challenges the basis of their religious beliefs. It's easy to shake a finger at people who actually know what evolution is but that is not the root of the problem.
    3
  126. Vampyricon, I don't think it's "we" who are not teaching this. It's that in this country Religious conservatives have kept evolution out of schools or attempted to put creationism on the same level. It's also hard to teach people about something when they are getting false information from their parents and religious leaders about what evolution actually is and what processes. People still believe that it means one species will turn into or give birth to an entirely different species. That's not because "we" are not teaching it it's because others are putting out false information.
    3
  127. psychoh13 As far as the property taxes, that went with ownership. As far as the children--men don't pay for everything either and at that time period did not participate in raising them, and women had no rights to a child if she left her husband. As far as the draft--men would not have allowed women in the military in the first place and in the second place being drafted shouldn't be a prerequisite for voting. Now, why don't you just read a book on history and get some information outside of the MRA movement.
    3
  128. I have always considered myself a feminist, but I have to admit I never knew about these sort of gender studies things--now I'm a little more picky about what I support. I still don't support the MRAs because I think they're not actually about men's rights but are more against feminism and I don't like the libertarians because they tend to go way too far into the extreme, but I am interested to hear what people like Sommers are saying. Luckily, we didn't have gender studies at my college--or I didn't have much to do with them, but the LGBT studies groups are just as crazy and make me fear for our movement as well. I find myself rejecting most philosophies of late. I think Humanitarianism comes closest to what I respect.
    3
  129. alfred koenig Holy Crap!  Not that there's anything wrong with that!
    3
  130. Matthew Morton You say a lot of things that use a lot of words and don't mean anything. Of course athiests can be dogmatic--so what? That still doesn't mean there is any proof of the existence of any god and so believing in something without evidence doesn't make you crazy but it does mean you have an irrational belief. That you are projecting this idea of irrationality onto something that is simply stating that you don't believe in a god because there is no evidence is, once again, irrational.
    3
  131. Faint366 Not the point, and if you go on a world-wide rather than US-centric basis totally false. I'm not going to get into it with you, I already said I shouldn't have included him in the list so I have backed off on my criticism of he who must not be mocked.
    3
  132. Faint366 I will have to disagree with you there.
    3
  133. Hey Dave, are you going to address right wing attacks on freedom of speech and the First Amendment at all? Seeing as how they are in power and are suppressing the press and speech they are more dangerous in the US than some college students.
    3
  134. I think the damage of normalizing bigotry is a far more imminent danger at this moment in American history.
    3
  135. m0ZZaik Which is why I don't think it can work.
    3
  136. Rob Green I think he disagrees with quite a bit of what Dennis says but his style is that he doesn't say so, he also doesn't correct factual inaccuracies that his guests present which I think is a weakness of his style because it lets misinformation pass unchallenged.
    3
  137. Adam Fitzpatrick What's the difference between a small government telling you what to do and a large government telling you what to do? Why should gay people have to have their marriage status change every time they cross the state line? So, in one state they have full rights in the next they don't even have hospital visitation rights? Sorry, that's just idiotic. The idea that states rights is some kind of magical, reasonable solution is just silly. We should all have equal rights. If the government is involved in marriage then it should be the same for the entire country not dependent on what your state legislature decided.
    3
  138. Ulysses the courier "Wrong". There's a subjective idea. So, liberals boycott because a business is discriminating against a section of the population or, as in the case of Chik-fil-a donating money to organizations that are seeking to put in place laws where gay people will actually be killed in Africa, or that baker everyone brings up who wasn't tried because she refused to bake a cake but because she doxed the couple who had asked.  Conservatives boycott because the company doesn't use the right magic words enough.
    3
  139. She seems much more like the feminists I knew and loved growing up. The ones I worked with clinic defense and things like that on.
    3
  140. Abraham M. sorry, I misunderstood your comment. The thumbs up right now are almost 4 times the thumbs down.
    3
  141. Chicken Strangler Evolution is evolution. There is no difference between micro and macro. It's something creationists made up.
    3
  142. You need to learn punctuation. I don't even know what you're trying to say.
    3
  143. ***** I think you're the one who got emotionally triggered. I just asked a question and you freaked the fuck out.
    3
  144. ***** You didn't actually make any legitimate argument. You called me an sjw and then went off on a diatribe where you just inferred a whole bunch of shit based on the fact that I had the nerve to ask a question you didn't like.
    3
  145. ***** Really? Asking someone how much of something they agree with makes me an sjw. You are such a twat.
    3
  146. Brent MacDonald I didn't mean it to be.
    3
  147. ColonelSandersLite Or, maybe, unlike you, I'm not up your ass.
    3
  148. ColonelSandersLite It's not a happy occasion. We have a rage tweeter who is appointing every right wing extremist to his cabinet. That's a scary occasion.
    3
  149. timpalmer1983 You're right. That Dylan Roof was a democrat is not an argument.  And it really didn't take much to get Trumps people to attack.
    3
  150. I think the left and the outrage has gone too far--but I also think that actual bigots use Dave Rubin and his videos as cover for their actual bigotry. Dave will have to address this at some point but it seems he blocks people who try to address it like Eiynah at Polite Conversations.
    2
  151. I think the calls of false oppression are no longer primarily coming from the left. A friend of mine was in the Midwest recently and was told that they were glad Trump won because "The gays will finally get what they deserve". I don't think the left is currently the main threat--though we can't ignore what goes on there.
    2
  152. He said "this is what I do" and then a lot of women came forward saying he did exactly what he says he did.
    2
  153. Because no one could POSSIBLY support Hillary if they weren't being paid?
    2
  154. Wyrd80 He thinks money in the political system is okay. 
    2
  155. These voter ID laws aren't really about preventing voter fraud--voter fraud on that level isn't really a problem and even if it happens it would be on such a small scale that it wouldn't matter. The fact is, these kind of laws are written by Republicans with the express purpose of suppressing minority votes. And, like it or not requiring them does amount to a poll tax--which is, and should be, illegal.
    2
  156. A.A.-ron Donald Trump has been as warhawk like as HIllary--or more so, he thinks we can just bomb other countries and take their oil. If you're trying to act like he's a dove, you're delusional.
    2
  157. It's so true. Trump is scary but Ted Cruz is fucking terrifying.
    2
  158. Billy Bong No. I did. I just disagree with your conclusion.
    2
  159. 19:30 - Is it Cenk?
    2
  160. It's amazing how little the people posting on this board know about what's going on in the Ukraine.
    2
  161. You know there are a lot of people here making anti-feminist posts without having ever listened to the video.
    2
  162. 6:05 Because Bill Clinton wasn't a rapist and hasn't been in office for 15 years?
    2
  163. 5:20 Maybe they're not sorry but to say "Gestapo" is just hyperbole.
    2
  164. Fearlessechoes73 Or maybe you do.
    2
  165. Erik Gustafson Or, I just don't think he's funny.
    2
  166. Fearlessechoes73 I thought comedians were supposed to be funny.
    2
  167. I think it is amusing that the Seinfeld story has become that he was censored on college campuses when in reality it didn't happen. He never played a college campus. The story was that someone told him his "Gay French king" joke would have been controversial--not that the joke ever was actually controversial (just not very funny or original).
    2
  168. svjsfgh, and Blaine Howes You dismiss obstructions of free speech when it's someone you don't like (and by the government which is what the First Amendment is actually about). You're not actually free speech advocates. If you were you would be up in arms over Kathy Griffin being fired. You're all hypocrites. It's telling that Blaine went to the bullshit reasons for silencing Elizabeth Warren and completely ignored the others.
    2
  169. Hey Dave, are you going to cover the obstructions of free speech that are happening with our current conservative government? Seems like they're a little more dangerous than college students.
    2
  170. fredguy2 Maybe we should always just think before we freak out every time the word "feminist" is mentioned.
    2
  171. AKSBSU Actually, he had several statements he didn't substantiate (I mentioned a few of them), and because it's Dave's MO not to ask follow up questions he didn't have to--that was rough. Areva Martin is a regressive so by definition Dave's viewership won't agree with what she said, and I found it as revealing as any of his interviews.
    2
  172. AKSBSU Yeah, those interviews were rough, but usually just the mention of feminism brings a raft of often irrational and irrelevant anti-feminist comments.
    2
  173. Calvin Smith Not a danger to civilization.
    2
  174. +Calvin Smith There's not a current danger of zero birthrate.
    2
  175. I think there is a delusion among conservatives and libertarians that they are oppressed so I'm not surprised the students Dave was talking to would think they are. It has no actual value as evidence.
    2
  176. Milo is only skin deep. He has nothing serious to say. He's great at insults but it doesn't go much below the surface.
    2
  177. If someone says that they are assholes, but I don't think it's as common as you seem to.
    2
  178. People say that?
    2
  179. +Leighton Elliott, I didn't say it mattered. But I disagree that it doesn't. It's good for gay people to be open about who they are, even, or especially, if it makes people uncomfortable because that might make them reconsider their anti-gay feelings and realize they have an issue.
    2
  180. Every time Dave mentions anything gay there are always a number of his viewers who say "Dave is gay?"
    2
  181. It's because children are coming out as trans and conservative parents freaked out because a trans adolescent (usually trans girl) wanted to use the girl's room (because it was actually dangerous for them) so conservatives saw they could use this to generate outrage now that gay marriage doesn't work as well so they decided to pass laws against trans people using the restroom of the sex they identify.
    2
  182. Wait, are we really getting mad at the government for letting transgendered people using restrooms? And Dave, I am really disappointed at you for using the "man in the bathroom when my 5 year old daughter is there" strawman.
    2
  183. I agree with much of what you say except that I don't think there is a "white culture". There are a bunch of different cultures that don't really have that much to do with each other. The whole idea of white culture is an illustion.
    2
  184. Scott Alampi It is funny that a lot of these people who scream about the advances of "white culture" are science denying idiots who have never read these great landmarks of literature or seen the great artworks they're trying to claim.
    2
  185. He already has.
    2
  186. Wide sweeping statements are a great way to make a point.
    2
  187. This is a great interview. So much more detail than we usually get. Not about pointing fingers but about enlightening.
    2
  188. ***** I'm one of those people who wouldn't have known anything about Sarkeesian if it weren't for these anti-feminists. They get upset over these completely obscure feminists and actually give them a much higher profile than they would have normally had.
    2
  189. Your "facts" might be accurate but that doesn't mean the conclusions you reach are always right.
    2
  190. Gohan Rice Where are you getting your numbers? What right wing brain trust fucked up no information website are you going to?
    2
  191. I think my thing with Adam Carolla is that he's lazy. His humor is lazy. He doesn't try very hard. He goes for the easy jokes. His humor is very sporadic with me. He's lazy, but loves to criticize people who are actually doing things.
    2
  192. Asha2820 That is interesting.  I guess a cisgendered gay man is more threatening to the culture there.
    2
  193. The dismissing people as cisgendered is weird considering that Islam is not supportive of transgender either.
    2
  194. Dave, if you're going to say what Trump did wasn't so bad you should be a little more clear on what he did.
    2
  195. German Realist Great answer. You're showing why you are a Donald Trump supporter and why people won't change their opinion of him. You answered with an insult rather than just answering--Trump does the same thing and we don't want that in a President. Now, fuck off.
    2
  196. His argument against abortion is not the argument against abortion. The fact is that women should control their own bodies. Just as we can't force people to donate organs or if an adult man had to be attached to your body in order to survive you should not be forced to do that.
    2
  197. "You don't get to judge it"? That's what makes me think Steele is an idiot.
    2
  198. Not all that diverse in terms of ideas or plans.
    2
  199. You're talking about Trump or the players?
    2
  200. My question about MRAs is--do they actually do anything about men's rights issues? All I ever see them do is complain online, I never hear of them doing anything about custody rights, prison rape or stop and frisk--issues that impact men. It seems like there are real issues there but I don't see them do anything except complain about feminists and blame them for everything from circumcision to higher heart attack rates in men.
    2
  201. I still have yet to hear a convincing Libertarian economic argument. It all sounds Utopian. It all depends on business people acting in good conscience--which they don't.
    2
  202. ***** I didn't mention David in this post.  Why would you think I'm talking about him?
    2
  203. ***** I'm fine with ignoring you from now on.  I guess with free speech idiots like you get to speak freely too.
    2
  204. Who would guess he's an Ayn Rand fan?
    2
  205. T Stanton Yeah.  Just like men haven't ever really been victims so men's rights organizations have to come up with reasons to whine about how they're repressed.
    2
  206. MRAs are the same way though. They're not so much about correcting the ways men are treated differently as taking the mantle of victim on themselves.
    2
  207. Alexander Nevsky He said the right is engaged in a discussion of policy. He said the left is in love with the idea of the strongman and the right isn't (which is completely disproven by the right's current hero worship of Ronald Reagan. That's two things I remember without watching it again.
    2
  208. Gregory Bannish I've also never thought Piers Morgan was particularly a leftist.
    2
  209. +ShermKlump That douche accusation is a double edged sword in this case.
    2
  210. Electing Trump will not mobilize people. We in America are so lazy and as long as we have our phones and the internet to keep us entertained we'll be mollified.
    2
  211. What a meaningful statement.
    2
  212. David Wheeler Say "Hi" to Alex Jones for the rest of us.
    2
  213. Why do you blame feminists for these men's issues? Do you really think things like prison rape are feminist's fault? Instead of blaming feminists for everything why don't MRAs get off their computers and actually try to do something rather than just complain and blame feminists for everything? I agree with a lot of the issues that men's rights activists bring up but then they blame feminism rather than the legal system or actual entities that could be changed. Blaming feminism does nothing.
    2
  214. ***** The New Testament isn't all that great either. And I would argue that the Old Testament and Islamic writings are both pretty bad--and if you're just looking at the Koran the OT is worse.
    2
  215. ***** I said the Koran. And again, I'm not defending Islam, just pointing out that if you go by the actual text the Bible is as bad. And again THE REASON THAT CHRISTIANS NOW AREN'T AS VIOLENT IS THAT THEY DON'T FOLLOW EVERYTHING THE BIBLE SAYS. Also, it's not "something I read about Christianity". IT'S THE FUCKING BIBLE. And it's a terrible source for morality as are the Islamic scriptures. Neither of these sources are great places to go for moral teaching. 
    2
  216. ***** But, since your main point seems to be to say that the Koran is worse than the Bible, would you at least admit that those verses in the Bible are terrible?
    2
  217. ***** But since you are being weaselly, here's a website that backs me up. http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/bible_quran.html
    2
  218. ***** So you're trying to parse it by the number of verses and not the content? That's pretty weasely. Does this mean that you admit that there are equally bad things content-wise?
    2
  219. ***** The reason Christians aren't as bad as Muslims is because they DON'T do what the Bible tells them.
    2
  220. ***** Yes. I did. Read Leviticus. Read Paul's letters. They're awful and have awful laws and treatments of people.
    2
  221. Certainly if you look at the Bible it has as much bad stuff as the Koran, but most Christians (at least in the US) don't actually follow it as radical Islamists do.
    2
  222. Jesus Perez She said they live in their parent's basements--which is true because they can't afford to get their own place because their school loans are so high. But I see you're very easily swayed by spin.
    2
  223. Now let's watch all the crazy Trumpies that Dave's channel has attracted go after the truly brilliant Lawrence Krauss with pretty much no real evidence.
    2
  224. Best! Interview! Ever! Lawrence Krauss is the best.
    2
  225. The Rubin Report And I really appreciate it. You're doing great work.
    2
  226. I'm very proud of him but I hope that as he gets older he learns to express himself a little better. Maybe the Amazing Atheist isn't the best model. In any case I have the utmost respect for him speaking out against these truly despotic rulers.
    2
  227. Trump said he was going to clean up corruption at the same time he admitted he was corrupt. Now, he's filling his office with his contributors who want payback. Whatever Obama did doesn't excuse the lying.
    2
  228. +JT Faisa What failed healthcare initiative was that?
    2
  229. Hey Dave, are you going to address the senate shutting down Elizabeth Warren's free speech in the Sessions hearing? This is actual censorship from the government and everything.
    2
  230. Kaname Tōsen We'd hate for facts to get in the way of someone's freedom to say whatever they want and not have anyone say they're wrong.
    2
  231. Sony Kroket Don't care. You're both lying and stupid.
    2
  232. I went to a very conservative college. We had James Watt speak, but they wouldn't allow any openly gay speakers. It goes both ways depending on who has the power.
    2
  233. I think it's very hard to get people to kill themselves and other people simply because of foreign policy, religion and ideology on the other hand are great at inspiring young people to martyrdom.
    2
  234. A lawyer who was so important you can't even come up with her name. Considering the way you completely misrepresented the story about the wrestler I don't have great confidence in your abilities to present facts. And I read these articles on several Canadian news sites. None of the people posting on this seem to be able to come up with any examples of anyone being prosecuted under this law who had to pay a fine or do jail time for calling someone by the wrong pronoun. Until you can come up with even one example I don't see the need to continue rewarding your lack of research ability.
    2
  235. +RanEncounter I asked for a single example of a case where someone was FINED OR JAILED and you still haven't provided this. If you can't I understand. You don't want to admit it because that would fuck with your narrative. But until you can I don't really care to hear anymore of your whiny bullshit. This does not force you to do anything at all. Most likely transgender people avoid you so you never have to refer to them in any way.
    2
  236. +RanEncounter I have done several searches and not come up with anything. Why don't you tell me the names of the specific cases or the plaintiffs so I can find them. Keep in mind, I only want cases where someone was fined or jailed for calling someone by the wrong pronoun.
    2
  237. +RanEcnounter Can you point to a case where someone was fined or jailed for using the wrong pronoun? Again, I don't care if people sue. People have the right to sue if they think they have a case. Has anyone been fined or jailed for using the wrong pronoun?
    2
  238. +talsapps I don't know. The fact that someone's a lawyer doesn't automatically make them right or honest. Also, considering how you misrepresented the other story I'm a little skeptical of your grasp of what's happening.
    2
  239. A debate is not actually proof and from what I've read Jordan Peterson has misrepresented the law all along. I've now had people tell me that it has passed and people have been fined but I have been unable to find any non-right wing source for any of this. If what people are saying is true then it's a horrible law but from what I've read of the law it doesn't do what people are saying. I know Canada has different law than the US but I haven't been able to find any confirmation that this law jails or fines people for not using the right pronouns.
    2
  240. Have people actually been fined? I can't find any unbiased sources on this. From what I could find in the actual Canadian government documents the bill hasn't even passed yet.
    2
  241. Do you really think that we will ever live in a world where female sports will be dominated by transgenders? Also, in wrestling they have weight classes so the transgender wrestler would be competing against athletes of a similar size.
    2
  242. Has that bill actually passed? I'm having trouble finding any actual information on it because of all the hysterical right wing blogs.
    2
  243. There are stalls in bathrooms. As far as locker rooms go most transgender people are in more danger than non-transgender people.
    2
  244. What does that have to do with whether someone can legally change their gender? He had the right to do that and the other girls have the right to protest this if they want to.
    2
  245. How are you being forced to do anything? You can't be arrested for refusing to accept that someone is transgender.
    2
  246. Do you mean that a male to female athlete would have an unfair advantage in women's sports? Kind of a narrow scope. Just saying "I don't see why they should be able to do this" isn't an argument.
    2
  247. Would you want to officially change your sex? It won't be an issue for you because you're not transgender. Why does it matter to you if someone else officially changes their sex?
    2
  248. Interesting on this and the shorter videos--Gad really seems to trigger the anti-SJW crowd.
    2
  249. Great interview. So important. She is incredibly brave.
    2
  250. If it wasn't an issue before why is it an issue now? It wasn't a problem before it was addressed why is it suddenly a problem when it is. Also, it was conservative school systems who wouldn't let trans students go to the restrooms of the sex they identified that brought it about. I know you get all your information from Blaire White but she's wrong about a lot of things.
    2
  251. Why do you care so much about where trans people go to the bathroom?
    2
  252. Michael Burgendy Companies can profit in the short term, poison the environment and their customers, go out of business and walk away before anyone is able to sue them. It happens all the time.
    2
  253. Michael Burgendy And back to your ridiculous defense of child labor--it's very much in the same spirit as the conservatives who claim that slavery was just a steady job for room and board. It's completely mendacious.
    2
  254. Michael Burgendy This, at base, shows the bankruptcy of this whole philosophy that you have to come up with just truly mendacious statements like this to justify it. You should really be ashamed of yourself.
    2
  255. Dave, how much of this are you buying?
    2
  256. Interesting, your description of pundits sounds like Larry Elder.
    2
  257. Bad End Happy Ask who? Psychology itself is not an exact science and neither is evolutionary psychology.
    2
  258. +haloreachisawsome117 So, you don't know much about evolution.
    2
  259. Except that the complexity argument is just not true. It's been disproven over and over again. Including in court https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District
    2
  260. +Bad End Happy Left wing extremists deny evolution? How?
    2
  261. Mephistahpheles Not only has there not been any compelling evidence of a god, there has been no evidence other than people's feelings.
    2
  262. cloudazer I didn't say that, I said that the people who are on this thread are not informed of what evolution actually is and you are among them.
    2
  263. But, Arturo, they are not saying that evolution isn't true and that it doesn't exist. There are no serious biologists who do not believe in evolution--including Christian biologists. Francis Collins, a Christian, does not dispute evolution. They may be reevaluating how it happens but not that it does.
    2
  264. Mephistahpheles, I am not just making claims. But what I think is absolutely true is that you, yourself, don't know what evolution is. So when you talk about the bad science education you, yourself are a product of that. Also, just so that you know, strawman building is a fallacy. Why don't you take a biology class from a real biologist so that you will be able to talk about this without pointing out how ignorant you are. When you "choose" to believe something you should actually become informed of what the evidence is before you just dismiss it out of hand.
    2
  265. tarstarkusz So pretending this ban was to protect us is a ruse because the people who crashed into the world trade center wouldn't have been affected by this.
    2
  266. pr35ton84 Glen Beck is a conservative. And he's got the bipolar disorder to prove it.
    2
  267. I don't think Trump actually says any of the things that Cernovich says he does. It's all stuff he's putting in Trump's mouth. Trump has not presented himself during this campaign as a social liberal.
    2
  268. Interesting. I'm not convinced that Gary Johnson is better than the other two and I don't think Clinton is really that disastrous.
    2
  269. This made me question if Dave Rubin knows any average people. But Scott Adams is brilliant.
    2
  270. psychoh13 You are. And when a woman owned property she had to pay taxes on it. When a man wasn't drafted, he still was able to vote.
    2
  271. psychoh13 Thank you for pretty much admitting that she does dismiss the advances that the early feminists made. That was my original point and you've shown me to be correct. And thank you for showing that you, too, dismiss the work of suffragettes. That's really all I intended to say from the beginning.
    2
  272. psychoh13 What does it mean to be responsible for your own "uptake" and if you're not allowed to work how are you supposed to take care of yourself?
    2
  273. psychoh13 Are you actually trying to say the vote should be tied to the draft? For men or women? Voting should be the rights of citizenry and not tied to service in the military or property ownership.
    2
  274. psychoh13 Men worked to support the family because women were expected to stay at home--if a woman did work her earnings were considered her husband's property.
    2
  275. psychoh13 Because at one time women were not allowed to own property and anything they owned was considered the property of their husband. If the man chose to sell the property he would have been able to even if the wife didn't want to.
    2
  276. psychoh13 She dismisses it, and so do you. I think it's fine to say that many modern feminists have gone to far and to point at the excesses of the movement but to dismiss the accomplishments of past feminists is just naive. 
    2
  277. psychoh13 But, also, thank you for proving that it's not just Staughan who's ignorant about history.
    2
  278. psychoh13 To dismiss what these women did is just ignorant of history. I didn't compare it to slavery, I compared your reaction to the reaction of people who try to dismiss the work of the abolitionists.
    2
  279. psychoh13 Your argument sounds similar to the right wingers who say that slavery would have ended eventually. We don't know that this is true and there's no way to prove it. One thing that is true is that justice delayed is justice denied.
    2
  280. psychoh13 This is all guessing. The fact is that women were given the right to vote because they demanded it. To pretend otherwise is dishonest.
    2
  281. psychoh13 She claimed that men were going to just give women the right to vote so the suffragettes were unnecessary. 
    2
  282. +psychoh13 I think Straughan, while good on current issues has a shaky hold on history.
    2
  283. bellarose I don't think this "female community" you're talking about is a real thing.  I think you have some people who agree with you who are female and you're applying those opinions to a "community".   You don't know what lgbt people do (and by the way, the "ls" are all women) so you get all your info from highly biased sources.
    2
  284. mr pleb Why don't men's rights advocates speak to these issues?  If they would spend even a tiny percentage of the time they spend complaining about feminists actually trying to educate about circumcision or prison rape or stop and frisk or any number of issues that affect men adversely maybe something would get done about them. 
    2
  285. Sinus Wutz I oppose circumcision but I don't think men's rights groups are nearly as interested in ending it as they are in complaining that feminists don't work as hard ending it as they think they should.  It may very well be equally important but it's not feminists who are circumcising children--it's religions and medical authorities who are certainly not feminists.  If MRAs did more to stop circumcision or prison rape I might support them--but they don't.
    2
  286. He's already interviewed him. And Molyneux is really not as brilliant as his followers think he is.
    2
  287. It might be interesting to have an actual climate scientist on rather than a philosophy major who is paid by the industry.
    2
  288. ***** San Harris is a liberal. Whether he does politics or not, he's a liberal.
    2
  289. Irek Cz. "Yes they are expressing their freedom of speech but they use it trying to suppress other people right to free speech" So are the "Happy Holidays" boycotters.
    2
  290. TheAnnoyingGunner Milo doxes students from the stage opening them up to harassment--that goes beyond free speech to inciting. That crosses a line for me. He doesn't need to do that to put his point across--he does it because it grabs attention and that's what he really wants.  Also, the UC Davis thing wasn't an issue of freedom of speech. The college shut it down for safety concerns--just like when Anita Sarkeesian cancelled her speech at a Utah college because someone had threatened to shoot the crowd and the college couldn't provide security.  The students who protest Milo have a right to do so.
    2
  291. Jesse Sewell It seems like the whole Trump campaign was based on the idea that America is deeply flawed so it seems like you can't paint just the left with that brush. And you also can't call faith rational because it is belief in something when there is no proof of it.
    2
  292. Jesse Sewell You're saying that Jerry Coyne is irrational?
    2
  293. jdnels81 Wait for what? He's already done it. What do you need to wait for? He's not just paying lip service to the right, he's doing what they want him to do. There are actions that you can look at and see what he's done.
    2
  294. TheSovereign500 Does the more immediate threat come from the left? How so? When you consider that Trump has put a gag order on scientists keeping them from reporting their findings are you seriously saying the threat is coming from the left?
    2
  295. I think that the whole photo id thing is a boondoggle. There is not a voter fraud problem. I think Dave has bought in to the false propaganda here.
    2
  296. But being against gay marriage is still being against gay people's rights, and still intolerant.
    2
  297. chigimonky That you think that is both tragic and not at all hilarious.

  298. Rob Green So, you think it's adult to let people say false things without correcting them.
    2
  299. Geronimo32509 Once again, what you're saying pretty much is that he's a light weight who can't actually handle a follow up question. Got it. And why couldn't he have told Prager that what he was saying about evolution was incorrect? He didn't even need to say "that's not what biologists claim" he could have just said that evolution doesn't deal with the origin of life. That's not really something you need to be a scientist to point out. Prager kept claiming he loved science at the same time showing a deep misunderstanding of the subject. If Dave can't handle the interviews he should stick to talking to comedians.
    2
  300. Twitter RavennaBonet Exactly. States do not make good laws automatically. The whole "states rights" solution is just deflection.
    2
  301. Adam Fitzpatrick Being against gay marriage may not mean that you hate gays but it does mean that you think they shouldn't have equal rights.
    2
  302. Adam Fitzpatrick So, you're commenting on things that you're ignorant about. What a shocker.
    2
  303. Adam Fitzpatrick States are government too. You realize that, right?
    2
  304. Witsniper Just wait until you take those anti-socialist people who live in Dixie's medicare away. Suddenly they are all in favor of socialism so long as they benefit because of it.
    2
  305. Allzumenschliches44 When I read the comments about Rubin's show it's mostly just conservatives barking "Hell yeah". They don't bother to find out what the actual stories were about and neither, really, does Dave so he allows a lot of actually false statements to go unquestioned. And, from what I've heard, he mutes people who bring up the areas where his guests are wrong.
    2
  306. That would be a swell argument if people actually took the time to do that. Most people--both conservative and liberal listen to ideas and just accept the ones that conform to their beliefs as true and don't bother to find out the truth--like Prager's total misunderstanding of evolution. If the actual facts aren't presented at the time people will just go on thinking what they already did. This is a weakness of Dave's style. If you watched his video you would think those bakers were sued because they refused to bake a cake for a gay couple and not the truth which is that they doxed the couple opening them up to threats and harassment. They would think that liberals just suddenly wanted to pass a law about which bathrooms trans people can use when in reality it came to pass because trans teenagers were being harassed in the bathrooms of their high schools. There are times when there are actually facts. It's funny that conservatives who say so often that they don't believe in subjective morality are all for "both sides say this" when there are actually facts involved.
    2
  307. ravissary79 He said it's wrong to boycott companies for political reasons and that only leftists do it--which is just not true. And you're right, it is my choice and it's a choice I will continue to make.
    2
  308. ravissary79 Too often the right trivializes the legitimate concerns of the left. They don't actually know what the real concern is because they don't bother to listen to what's actually going on. This was the real issue with Chik-fil-a. The owner was (and possibly still is) donating money to these religious groups that are influencing laws in Africa that are very dangerous to gay people. But the media and most of the leftists made it seem like a tantrum over gay marriage.
    2
  309. Brian Also, the right wing has, in the past, targeted abortion doctors in their homes, they have protests all the time at people's houses so trying to paint this as a left wing thing is just disingenuous.
    2
  310. Lady Catfish No problem. Sometimes you need to hear news outside your little bubble.
    2
  311. What about the owner's religious beliefs? All those conservatives who boycotted companies for not saying "Merry Christmas."
    2
  312. You voted for GW Bush and Donald Trump?
    2
  313. David Guffey I find him depressing.  I think it's sad to see a gay man in this day and age who hates himself so much and who would go on conservative radio shows and say he wishes he wasn't gay.
    2
  314. David Guffey He's a self-loathing provocateur who is miserable because he's addicted to wanting the conservative Chirstian daddy to love his gay son and won't let himself be happy as a gay man.  He's said as much in interviews.  The only reason he got involved is because he's an anti-feminist. He has no deeper thought than that.
    2
  315. I can't agree with her. While we did replace a horrible despot we created a situation with several even more insane religious leaders and left a vacuum in the region.
    2
  316. Maxime Laneville Did you see the news story where Trump wondered why we can't just nuke our enemies? It's a stupid thing that Trump actually wondered--not a stupid thing that someone just made up about Hillary Clinton. You need to pay more attention to actual things and not the fantasies in your head.
    2
  317. Well, this interview strengthened my views as a liberal and a progressive. This guy is a libertarian antidote.
    2
  318. "Army of Sociopaths". Very well put.
    2
  319. This is the problem with both regressives and anti-regressives. They can't just say "I disagree with Sam Harris about Hillary", you have to go on and demonize him. You anti-regressives are every bit as authoritarian as regressives.
    2
  320. Joe Drizzle Trump has promised to appoint Supreme Court justices recommended by the Heritage Foundation. So, not only will these justices be pro-corporate and pro-big banks and won't do anything about money in politics they will also be anti-gay and anti-choice. People keep saying he doesn't really mean what he says which would certainly make him as big a liar as Hillary.
    2
  321. I also think that saying Libertarians are "fiscally conservative and socially liberal" is misleading. But I would like to see Johnson in the debates.
    2
  322. I did donate to Bernie but I will not donate to Hillary even though I will vote for her.
    2
  323. Wow, she really triggers a lot of your conservative fans.
    2
  324. +Glenn Howden What an incredibly stupid statement. Conservatism is not the new punk movement--it's the new fascist movement.
    2
  325. Wake up to what?
    2
  326. illkhan So, what you're saying is you don't have a citation.
    2
  327. illkhan They didn't kill people for not following state mandated atheism. The killed people for political reasons in order to remove anyone who could challenge their rule and to keep other people in line.
    2
  328. Diggy7Diggs Political dogma can become as much a religion as religion itself. These people committed their acts in the name of their political philosophies not because of atheism.
    2
  329. texcc789us And you flew off the handle while accusing me of being uptight...soooo
    2
  330. Abraham M. cute how you think those things mean anything. It's also cute how my comment triggered you. Funny how the people who call people snowflakes are the biggest fragile dolls act like what they hate.
    2
  331. Saying that gay people shouldn't be able to get married because the government should be out of marriage is just another way of saying that gay people shouldn't be able to get married. No on needs him to go to their wedding. No one can force him to go to their wedding anyway. It's just bullshit.
    2
  332. All the studies show that children raised by gay couples have no bad effects so his opinion is based on his own bias. Also, the idea that there is no benefit to stable marriages by gay or straight people is just bullshit.
    2
  333. Dave Rubin does realize that Trump is now the government, right?
    2
  334. *****  How many people have you met? This is why anecdotal evidence is just bullshit.
    2
  335. Duck Speaker So you're just here posting random things? Great. Now I can ignore you.
    2
  336. Kostas1601 Expecting to be able to use public services without paying for them is immoral and wrong.
    2
  337. HDaviator Charter schools are just a Trojan horse so that religions can teach their beliefs without worrying about church and state separations. You want to go to religious schools? Great, but taxes shouldn't support it.
    2
  338. He hasn't been a leftist for at least 40 years. He was a zealot then and he's a zealot now.
    2
  339. ***** I didn't have to imply it at all. I don't agree. That doesn't make a SJW. In fact, if you want groupthink, go to any group of Ayn Rand acolytes. Funny, this is the second time someone said "not an argument" to me this morning (in this very string) when I wasn't trying to make an argument. Is this some kind of groupthink thing from you MRAs? Maybe something Stefan Molyneux said and now you all parrot it back like the dittoheads you are?
    2
  340. Katatawnic Which is why I asked. I would be interested to know what Dave thinks about it.
    2
  341. Jesse Sewell What issues are you considering "fundamental" that have no shades?
    2
  342. ***** You think it's a good thing that we don't have a say in our government. I have nothing more to say to you.
    2
  343. ColonelSandersLite No, just democracy.
    2
  344. ***** That that's not a good thing? Do you think it is?
    2
  345. ColonelSandersLite A raqe tweeter who is selling his influence to the highest bidder of any number of Islamic nations.
    2
  346. Mr Tomato And still lost the popular vote.
    2
  347. And he won without getting the majority of voters? That was something.
    2
  348. Trump is as anti-free speech as any third wave feminist.
    2
  349. Doug Johnson You should be triggered considering how corrupt his cabinet already is. And the right was triggered for 8 years--and boy do they get triggered if you wish them a Happy Hanukkah.  So with that, have a very merry Kwanzaa. 
    2
  350. Doug Johnson Also, Obama won the popular vote. When GW Bush won but lost the popular vote to Gore leftists didn't whine enough. You're a victim of confirmation bias.
    2
  351. Doug Johnson If the election had gone the other way you're be even whinier. Rightists never accepted Obama and whined constantly for 8 years. They whine every year when someone says "Happy Holidays". Leftists don't have the monopoly on complaint. 
    2
  352. Adam Smasher Whenever someone discounts the popular vote it shows that they don't actually care about democracy and only care that their guy won and will continue the gerrymandering in our country.
    2
  353. gary wood Nah. He blocks people who question him at all.
    1
  354. gary wood He blocks people who call him out. Sam Harris didn't seem to have a problem talking with her. I did listen to that podcast and found it really informative.
    1
  355. Steve Regal So, now we get it. You want to say you're against racism but you don't like it when we call racists names. Good for you. Strong stance. You'll fit right in with the Trump years. The truth is, you haven't really been able to defend your argument so you've tried shifting the goal posts and I didn't go for it. And now that you've shown yourself as the rightwing nut job white supremacist apologist you are I really have no further use for you.
    1
  356. Steve Regal If we can't call white supremacists bigots then words have lost their meanings. Its so great that you "believe" racism is evil. What a brave and controversial thing to say.  Now you just need to stop defending racists. Also, trying to move the goal posts is just not going to work. Suddenly saying that I need to have a solution to racism is just bullshit.
    1
  357. Steve Regal So, you're triggered by those words. That's not my problem. And why do I need to offer a solution? My solution is that we need to point out that these groups exist and have been empowered by Trump. You seem to think that just pointing them out is some kind of problem. We need to fight them just as we fight other extremists.
    1
  358. Steve Regal If a person is not a bigot and yet stokes the bigotry of others for personal gain that makes him worse than the bigots. A little interview doesn't make it all right.
    1
  359. Steve Regal I have never said that Trump is a white supremacist. I have said that he hasn't discouraged them and I stand by that fact. I also think that if he isn't a white supremacist and hasn't discouraged them that makes his a horrible person as well. If he's not a bigot but has used these people's bigotry to gain power that is just as bad and possibly worse. Now, if you're still trying to argue that I said he's a white supremacist you can just stop because that has never been what I've said.
    1
  360. Steve Regal Why are you so set on making it okay that he has welcomed the support of white supremacists?
    1
  361. Steve Regal Also, I don't care if he, himself is racist or a white supremacist. He used them to get in office and with his rhetoric and lack of any repudiation has energized them. It doesn't matter what he feels in his heart.
    1
  362. Steve Regal Yes. He said he didn't know who David Duke was. He has never repudiated this movement in any meaningful way.
    1
  363. Steve Regal In regards to this he should give one of his speeches, not that it matters anyway because he's always on every side of any issue and even when he says something in a concrete way he later laughs it off. In regards to this he should give a very strong repudiation instead of saying he doesn't know who these people are.
    1
  364. Steve Regal Except that he has accepted their backing and has not come out against their philosophy. To act like he doesn't know or doesn't welcome their support is just disingenuous.
    1
  365. Steve Regal I didn't say that racism exists at those levels and I'm not arguing that it does. I'm saying that white supremacists got behind Trump, and, in this country, white supremacists are dangerous.
    1
  366. Steve Regal We can and should fight both.
    1
  367. Gamerofthe21stcentry Do you call people who criticize white supremacists SJWs?
    1
  368. Gamerofthe21stcentry Or, actually fight against that bigotry taking power in our country.  Of course, that means we'll be called SJWs by rightists.
    1
  369. Gamerofthe21stcentry He really hasn't. Not in any meaningful way. It's always circular.
    1
  370. Gamerofthe21stcentry He also hasn't done anything to discourage them. I didn't say he's a white supremacist but he's not doing anything to stop them--which is just as bad.
    1
  371. gary wood This is where you rightists go off the rails. You rightfully call out the threat of Muslims but you act like there's no threat from the right.  It's completely dishonest.
    1
  372. gary wood Bullshit.
    1
  373. gary wood Yeah, 'cause they're such a threat. What a stupid comment.
    1
  374. I think teachers should intervene if children are being hit. And they often don't. They will often gang up on the children themselves.
    1
  375. I would still be happy to get single payer healthcare.
    1
  376. How many people are going to call him a cuckold, dismiss him as a regressive or SJW and not really say anything of value about what he said? I see that a lot of you who claim to be defenders of free speech are just as much a hive mind as feminists.
    1
  377. What trans people think that everyone experiencing any kind of dysphoria should transition?
    1
  378. Where was the Left pushing gender neutral bathrooms? This came up because trans high school students wanted to use the bathroom they identified with. You've strawmanned the argument here.
    1
  379. She's not against a law that would require her to go into a men's restroom?
    1
  380. What does saying "Black Lives Matter is Trash" actually add to the conversation?
    1
  381. What does someone blocking you on twitter say about this at all? You're a friend of Milo who targeted her, of course she blocked you. And I'm sorry but when you consider the things she was being hit with it's completely understandable.
    1
  382. Milo celebrated being banned--was that really a loss?
    1
  383. Who other than Milo has been banned from Twitter?
    1
  384. The sexual predator issue isn't even really the main issue I have with Trump. I don't think he actually has any plans but that's not it either. I don't think we can have a President who is so easily triggered, who uses such childish insults, who is so thin skinned and never lets anything go, who stays up all night tweeting. His whole personality is completely unsuited to the job.
    1
  385. rich5562000 Just name her. Otherwise it's just bullshit hearsay. And so what if he didn't abuse one woman. It proves nothing.
    1
  386. I knew without even looking that there would be a lot of dismissive comments on this video.
    1
  387. Trollaukinn Actually, they just encouraged people to protest and then let the Trump supporters do what they always do. They didn't need to be incited very hard. It's the Trump supporters who were already being violent.
    1
  388. ***** But the main point is that Hillary Clinton isn't a fascist and it's insane to pretend she is when you have actual white supremacists standing up giving the Nazi salute for Trump.
    1
  389. Derek Aarts She shows no signs of fascism. And it's not Clinton who has white supremacists standing up giving the Nazi salute at her rallies. It's not Hillary who has ACTUAL AMERICAN FASCISTS supporter her on Instagram and Twitter. Saying she is fascist is just an unsupportable claim.
    1
  390. Derek Aarts And I don't know why you're pointing it out because I've never said it couldn't. But, Hillary Clinton is not a fascist and if you think she is you don't know what fascism is.
    1
  391. Derek Aarts I didn't say it was a right wing problem. I said Hillary is not a fascist and that Ricky Nichols doesn't know what fascism means, and I stand by that. You are both straw manning what I said because you are both sheltered Americans who have no idea what an actual dictator is.
    1
  392. Ricky Nichols Considering that he's going to lose and lose big I'll just laugh because you and your sweaty orange man child lost.
    1
  393. Trollaukinn Of course because no one would support Hillary who wasn't paid. And no one would point out that he doesn't know what fascist means who wasn't paid, even though he doesn't know what fascist means. Go ahead and convince yourself that everyone you disagree with is paid--I'm sure it supports your paranoid conspiracy theory existence.
    1
  394. Ricky Nichols What research? In some crazy right wing extremist blogs? You don't know what fascist means and you believe idiotic conspiracy theories. You know what, if you vote the government will be able to find you so you better stay home.
    1
  395. Ricky Nichols No. You truly don't know what fascist means. You really don't and yet you throw it around like you know what you're talking about. You really are as stupid as I thought you were. If you think that Hillary Clinton is fascist you are really ignorant of history.
    1
  396. Ricky Nichols And Trump has said he wants to appoint supreme court justices in the mold of Scalia. That is enough reason to vote against him.
    1
  397. Ricky Nichols You really need to look up what a fascist dictatorship is because you don't know.
    1
  398. Chad K Wow.  There's a strawman.  I never said that.
    1
  399. Chad K I don't think they do, but so what?  "Both sides do it" isn't a defense no matter who uses it.
    1
  400. Jason Palacios That was quite a non sequitur.
    1
  401. Jason Palacios Then you have no right to complain about how much our political system sucks--because you're part of the problem.
    1
  402. Wyrd80 "Both sides do it" doesn't make it right.  And I don't see the need to continue this.
    1
  403. Wyrd80 No.  Not even if it's "fully disclosed".  The government is in thral of wealthy donors many of whom are quite public about they way they buy politicians off.
    1
  404. Wyrd80 No.  He said pretty much the exact words "both sides do it", which is pretty much saying, we can't do anything about it so we need to throw up our hands.  Money in politics was a problem before Citizens United too.
    1
  405. Wyrd80 And yet is was.
    1
  406. What's your problem with the protestors?
    1
  407. Liberals listen to NPR.
    1
  408. Mr. Abel's Random Rants Before you dismiss what scientists say. What is your scientific background? I'd like to know where you're coming from.
    1
  409. Chris Cheek Who was it directed at? I thought it was directed at the OP.
    1
  410. Interesting. But I do see why it's a problem when philosophers talk about science.
    1
  411. Caldav And if I see someone use it I know where they are coming from, same as "social justice warriors".
    1
  412. Caldav Yep.  Any and all. I just thought it was interesting the ones you chose--seeing as how "Social Justice Warriors" is a pejorative name that people have applied to a group, not one the group claimed for itself.
    1
  413. +Caldav Including MRAs.
    1
  414. Matt Habeck The army with their tanks and weapons of war don't care about your handgun.

  415. +Daniel Collins It should be at least as hard to buy a gun as it is to get a drivers license.
    1
  416. +Daniel Collins It should be at least as hard to buy a gun as it is to get a drivers license.
    1
  417. +tommy Long Not really what he said.
    1
  418. +Herv3 How so?
    1
  419. Being called racist silences you? I've never seen any evidence of that.
    1
  420. Fahraynk Oh yeah, that's all been shown to be fake. But, you will claim it's not because you're completely in that right wing conspiracy bubble.
    1
  421. Fahraynk I've considered them. As far as the Veritas, it sure doesn't take much to drive Trump supporters to violence so it wasn't much of a plan. Still voting for Hillary.
    1
  422. Fahraynk You might want to consider your words because all you've been doing is spouting nonsense and completely specious ideas. I can answer with those points because nothing you've said disputes them. I think voter fraud isn't a problem because there's been no proof to show that it is. There have been some incidents of it but either those votes weren't counted or they were so few that it didn't actually make a difference in the outcome. If you are trying to swing an election voter fraud is a very ineffective way of doing it, especially if you can just get the Supreme Court to stop the count and declare your candidate a winner. If you can't do that the best thing is to make it so the people who would vote against you can't vote. So what if it's illegal?
    1
  423. Fahraynk It's voter suppression under the guise of fixing a problem that doesn't exist.
    1
  424. Mastikator They're against it because it's an unconstitutional poll tax.
    1
  425. Fahraynk They're both used for the same reason--to suppress votes. That's all that matters. There can be no test and no tax.
    1
  426. Fahraynk  Look up the Voting Rights Act. There's a reason these sort of impairments to voting are illegal.
    1
  427. David T Racism isn't illegal. Voter suppression is and the Republican Party has already admitted to it and have a consent decree about it.
    1
  428. David T Thank you for admitting you're wrong. And, as his speech at that Catholic event showed--Trump has no sense of humor at all. He's barely able to contain his rage and that would be disastrous in a President.
    1
  429. David T I have never seen any evidence of Trump having a sense of humor so I think you're the liar and naive at that.
    1
  430. A.A.-ron Bullshit. And, in any case, Trump is a con man, and you've been conned. :p
    1
  431. Australian Progressive I have a grip, which is why I want Clinton to be our president and not that sweaty night tweeting sociopath. But, since you have no vote I don't care what you have to say so just know that you've made me even more resolved to vote for Clinton, your misogyny has helped me get over any grief I might have had before. Bye you kiwi kook.
    1
  432. Australian Progressive Do you know what an "ad hom" is? I'm not "ad homming" him, I'm stating actual reasons as to why he would be a disaster. Now. Why don't you just pay attention to the messes in your own country and stop trying to fuck up ours.
    1
  433. Australian Progressive "Hilary is a cunt" With such sharp analysis I can see why you like Trump. But we can't have a President tweeting at 3AM about how ugly Angela Merkel is. As for consistency--one day Trump says he's Putin's bestie and the next he says he doesn't know him. I'm glad you're Australian and won't be voting in our election.
    1
  434. A.A.-ron That's fine. And I think you're delusional if you think Trump is less corrupt than Clinton. He's been very open about his corruption, and considering how he bilks people with no problem I think he's a sociopath.
    1
  435. A.A.-ron Which Donald Trump would do in a second. He has shown no signs of having anything resembling a conscience or value. He will not know what he's doing and screw up our country just like he's screwed up his business--except now he'll drag us all down with him and not just the people who are foolish enough to invest in him. Hillary has shown no signs of being that foolish.
    1
  436. He already is as corrupt as any other politician you can name. He's a fucking conman. He's a businessman for Christ's sake. If you think politics is corrupt it still doesn't even come close to real estate.
    1
  437. Trump is not vs. unchecked corruption. He's as corrupt as anyone. He's admitted to paying off politicians, not paying his contractors and employees. He also has no self control and no ideas. Voting for Trump is not putting the country first. I would love to have the possibility of voting for someone other than these two but Trump is far worse than Hillary. The whole Republican party right now has been taken over by far right social conservative extremists.
    1
  438. Reuben Handel Actually, I've very happy. I also have a realistic outlook on the world because I don't believe every stupid thing I hear just because it fits my worldview.
    1
  439. Trump is incredibly corrupt. Why is that hilarious?
    1
  440. I do think the media with their obsession on Presidential elections has ruined the process in a lot of ways. There is slight discussion of actual issues and too much on the horse race. I think Bernie did do a great deal to change this, I hope the change sticks but it seems like as soon as he was out of the race the media reverted to old habits.
    1
  441. +Alexander Hawk Also, Dave is a liberal, so, there's that.
    1
  442. +Alexander Hawk I think it's fun that you chose to focus on that.
    1
  443. Billy Bong I think when you look at the way parents help cover up the sexual abuse of their children by religious figures that shows a certain amount of brainwashing.
    1
  444. Billy Bong  And I think educating people is a good thing. Silverman isn't forcing anything on anyone. If you were raised in a religion it could be said you are brainwashed. If you are raised with something you will often believe it, no matter how insane, no matter if it is proven to be wrong. I know, I was raised Mormon.
    1
  445. Billy Bong Charles Manson's followers still went to jail for their crimes.

  446. Billy Bong No. And that's not what Dave Silverman says so I'm not sure what you're talking about. You are not innocent of crimes because you were brainwashed. Patty Hearst was still convicted of her crimes.
    1
  447. +Billy Bong He's taking it away through education so I don't see it as a problem.

  448. I don't think social media and news are the same thing.

  449. Keep telling yourself that Calvin. I know you believe it and nothing would ever make you change your mind. That's just a fact.

  450. Very true. That's what we get when we, and the media has the attention span of a Jack Russell Terrier.

  452. ***** Yes it is. When you live in a repressive system being impolite is brave and necessary.

  453. ***** Considering what's going on, disrespect is perfectly understandable. Why would you respect fascists and despots?

  454. +Savethe Males Considering the state of free speech in Russia and the standing of the Church there--I'm okay with it.

  455. Ishzarks And, I'm fine with just letting gay people have the same rights so I'm not going to join your fight.
    1
  456. Ishzarks Do that.  But it's a separate argument.  Denying gay people the same rights as heterosexuals does damage whether it's the state or federal govt. Gay people shouldn't be denied rights that heterosexuals have.
    1
  457. Bombsquad85 It's completely denying gay people the same rights as heterosexuals. It's not a middle ground, it's a denial of equal rights.
    1
  458. "I'm in favor of letting states determine this" is another way of saying "gay people shouldn't be able to get married". Saying states should determine it isn't support. It's a false argument.

  459. Bombsquad85 Also, you being young isn't an excuse.  There's this thing called the internet.

  460. Bombsquad85 There were allegations of him womanizing but not rape as far as I remember.  At least no one who wasn't brought forth as part of the Right Wing conspiracy.
    1
  461. Bombsquad85 There were all kinds of jokes about Bill Clinton back when he was President.  It's a false equivalency.

  462. Dave Rubin--you let a lot of misstatements get by in this. I realize that you want a civil conversation but you shouldn't let your guests get away with outright lies.
    1
  463. BizarrePower Very true.  I realize David is trying to have civil conversations but I don't think we need to let people walk on these kind of statements.
    1
  464. ***** I haven't cried at all. You've been whining for days because I said I wasn't impressed with your idle the "ace man." But tell you what. I am going to let this go. You can go ahead and post all you want and I'm not going to respond to you.

  467. ***** He does it through the whole video. He's drunk or something is interfering with his speech. He does it in the other 2 videos as well.
    1
  468. ***** He sounded drunk. I wasn't talking about when he was faking outrage, I was talking about when he was unable to form sentences.
    1
  469. Star Dreamers To be fair, I was talking about Adam Carolla and the video that we were watching and then he called me retarded--so no, I wasn't insulting Patrick Duane.
    1
  470. Erik Gustafson I wasn't comparing him to Hitler. I was saying that the fact that someone is nice to people close to him doesn't mitigate what they put out into the world. And "Ace Man"? I guess that says it all.
    1
  471. Erik Gustafson No. It's not. What he says publicly is "people are stupid", and that he's "done apologizing for gay jokes" (which he never apologized for so I don't know why he's done apologizing for them).
    1
  472. Erik Gustafson Except that most of us don't know him, don't work with him and aren't related to him so we can only judge by what he says publicly.
    1
  473. It always rubs me the wrong way when people say "90% of people are"... because so many of those 90% are saying the same thing about you. The person saying it is always the only clear thinking person while everyone who disagrees with them are sheeple.

  476. Hey Dave, did you defend Kathy Griffin's free speech?
    1
  477. FireMrshlBill Then you're not a free speech champion. Why are you even talking to me? The whole point of Dave's channel is free speech. You don't see it as a free speech issue? Then you don't know what you're talking about and I see no reason to continue with your deluded bullshit.
    1
  478. Hey FireMrshlBill, I'm fine if you only defend people you agree with--just don't claim to be a free speech champion--because you're not. And neither is Dave.
    1
  479. FireMrshBil and everyone else who has posted, Is Ann Coulter in jail? Is Milo in jail? You've all hypocrites. It's not about whether you like the speech, it's about free speech. Again, you aren't free speech champions, you're in favor of free speech you like. And you're full of shit.
    1
  480. Yeah Blaine, that's your excuse and it's full of shit. She was silenced because she was speaking the truth about a nominee for a post.
    1
  481. How about if you're afraid to say something because people will call you and SJW, Cuckold or White Knight?--not that I am.

  482. The Left defends Islam out of a reactionary response to the Right attacking it.

  484. If the Left were atheists there would be a lot more atheists.

  485. Milo wanted to be banned from Twitter. It's what he's been pushing for. I think it was a mistake to ban him but it was what he wanted and now his bad ideas (and most of his ideas are bad) have gained attention.
    1
  486. godwings101 It does require you being sold and having no power to decide what you do. You're not a slave. There are still people who enslaved in this world and for you to put your whiny ass in their category is just pathetic.

    1
  488. AKSBSU Elder continued to say that Iraq attacked us on 9-11, he said there were no rape jokes about Bill Clinton at some event while there were jokes about Bill Cosby--ignoring the fact that Clinton was not accused of rape (at least not by anyone with any actual grounds), that the Bill Clinton thing happened decades ago and that there were plenty of jokes about Clinton when the events were actually happening--and those are only what I can remember without going back and re-listening to the interview. Elder is as dishonest as any other pundit.
    1
  489. AKSBSU I think the interview was excellent but Elder is deluded in his views of what the political parties are.
    1
  490. Calvin Smith No danger of that either.

  491. When Trump is considering changing the First Amendment I don't know why we're obsessing on college students alone. I did like how Robert Reich kept taking the wind out of Ann Coulter's sails on George Stephanopoulos.
    1
  492. Hate speech IS protected. So is the speech of nonviolent protestors. The students at Berkeley have a right to protest Ann Coulter or Milo. The police should provide protection.
    1
  493. Desiree Fairooz could be sentenced up to a year for laughing at Jeff Sessions but we're really upset about about college students who didn't prevent Ann Coulter from speaking.
    1
  494. So don't let yourself be shut down. I'm sorry but if you crumple up at being called a bigot that's on you.
    1
  495. Calling people racist or bigoted is also free speech.
    1
  496. I wish both Roseanne and Sandra Bernhard would focus on comedy and get away from the politics. They both do great comedy but their political insights are just sort of mundane and unformed. They sound like they're just parroting words they heard somewhere else.

  497. What people on the right are highly professional scientists? What are the standards you use to judge?

  498. He has a depth of understanding of complexity that completely escapes most of your guests. This was a great interview.
    1
  499. Unfortunately a lot of the people who use this science don't have Pinker's depth of understanding.
    1
  500. Is there anyone still seriously arguing that men and women are exactly the same?
    1
  501. Except that when people like the Google guy bring up the differences they are doing it for a political purpose.
    1
  502. Please. Trump supporters are already whining that they shouldn't be "vote shamed" and that they need safe spaces. And even before that they have always demanded special rights for their religious beliefs. The idea that this was only on the Left was always stupid.
    1
  503. Why can't you be outraged by the appointments?
    1
  504. Our President wants to change the First Amendment but college students are the real threat.
    1
  505. So you're bisexual?
    1
  506. Wow. You're a bitch.
    1
  507. What does "true racism" mean?
    1
  508. i·den·ti·tyˌīˈden(t)ədē/nounnoun: identity; plural noun: identities1. the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. Interesting. That doesn't contradict anything I've said.
    1
  509. Also, if you've really watched all these videos of his and didn't know he is gay and married you've just not been paying attention because he mentions it often.
    1
  510. Hi sexual orientation is a part of his identity. He would not be who he is now if he wasn't gay. All of those things you pointed out are a part of people's identities and while it's great that you haven't had to deal with anything like that I don't know why you think it's a virtue to not talk about it. Those things are not unimportant. They are not the sum total of a person but they are incredibly important and if you think they're not you're just not paying attention.
    1
  511. I would need to hear him say that, but I'm sure that he is extremely grateful for the approval of a heterosexual approving of him not making his sexual orientation a big thing. Also, I appreciate your never mentioning your sexual preference too.
    1
  512. Why does he get a + for not talking about it?
    1
  513. He will never be as excruciatingly correct as you.
    1
  514. Seems like a you problem.
    1
  515. I think if Hillary wins the white supremacists who have felt themselves empowered by Trump will go to more desperate measures. If Trump wins they will feel empowered and view it as a victory and go to more extreme measures.
    1
  516. Thank you for this. Very interesting. I also like how it triggered all these pro-Russia commenters.

  517. Sam, have a transgender person on to talk about why the bathroom thing is an issue.
    1
  518. Once again, we're saying "libertarian" in a way that isn't what libertarianism is.

  519. The Metrix metaphor immediately makes me question the person making it, but I'll try to keep an open mind.
    1
  520. I agree that the gender studies classes are ridiculous and extreme--but there's a danger going too far the other way. It's just as reactionary as we claim the SJWs to be.
    1
  521. I think that the backlash to Jews also has to do with Israel's actions in the Middle East.
    1
  522. How common is this pc on college campuses? It seems like it's only in the upper class colleges that have gender studies majors and such.
    1
  523. +Gary Oldman You're slow aren't you.
    1
  524. You should listen more.
    1
  525. Hey Dave, yesterday one of your viewers informed me that "freedom of speech has nothing to do with the government" when talking about Trump silencing scientists or the GOP Senate silencing Elizabeth Warren. I think you are actually doing a disservice to some of your listeners by not explaining what the First Amendment actually says. They actually think freedom of speech abuses are only about college SJWs silencing Milo Yianopolis--which, while annoying is not anti-constitutional or even illegal unless they get violent.
    1
  526. bgoodfella7413 Political correctness from the right is currently coming from the government. Which is far more dangerous.
    1
  527. bgoodfella7413 And just to reiterate, political corrected hasn't limited your free speech, as your idiotic post proves.
    1
  528. bgoodfella7413 What specifically are you referring to? I wouldn't doubt that they would try. Which is why we have to fight all the abuses if we want to say we're free speech champions--not just when it's campus SJWs who are doing it.
    1
  529. The Dude But so many anti-SJWs are dishonest. They're not really freedom of speech supporters, they don't fight for freedom of speech, just speech they agree with. But if it makes you feel better, why don't you just stop responding to me?
    1
  530. The Dude That's what this subject is about. It's dishonest for you to pretend otherwise.
    1
  531. The Dude At this point you can assume whatever you want. But you can't claim to be a supporter of free speech if the only person's speech you're worried about is Milo.
    1
  532. The Dude They used a bullshit loophole that she couldn't speak against a Senator in a hearing in which he was being vetted for a non-senatorial position. That was a dishonest suppression of freedom of speech. That you think it's okay just shows what a hypocrite you are.
    1
  533. The Dude You didn't prove me wrong. That you think you did just shows that, in addition to being a hypocrite you're also delusional.
    1
  534. The Dude You can quote yourself all you want. You're a hypocrite. It doesn't matter that "that's the way the government works" if you're going to claim to be a First Amendment defender you have to be against all abuses even if the rules say they're okay. As for "staying on topic" that's exactly what the topic is, you condemn these "SJWs" for doing something that THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO but you defend the government for stifling freedom of speech. You're a hypocrite.
    1
  535. The Dude All you're proving is that you only care about freedom of speech you agree with.  For that matter, these Berkely SJWs didn't take away Milo's freedom of speech. He was able to talk the next day and still has his platform on Breitbart and other media. So, "nigga" you're just a hypocrite.
    1
  536. The Dude Wow, so you're late to the party. They took away Elizabeth Warren's right of free speech. They took away climate scientists right of free speech. Now my little snowflake. Shut the fuck up unless you're going to condemn ALL free speech abuses and not just SJWs (who have the right of free speech as well).
    1
  537. The Dude I will. I also have proof. You, on the other hand, have to twist yourself all up to make it okay.
    1
  538. The Dude My presumption of your motive was right on. If you don't pay attention to the news everything is a surprise. Whether the President is in charge of the EPA or not he is censoring actual speech that the citizenry should be informed of because of his ties to business. Trump's not a boogey man--he actually exists and his administration is censoring people's speech. The fact that you don't condemn actual government censorship but do condemn private citizens speaking out shows that you are not a champion of freedom of speech.  You're not, Milo's not, Dave Rubin's not. You are only champions of freedom of speech you agree with. Your ignorance of Trump's tweets where he threatens to sue or ruin people is not proof that he didn't do it, just proof that you are not paying attention.
    1
  539. The Dude The First Amendment speaks ONLY to government violations of free speech--not to student protestors.
    1
  540. The Dude Considering that all these things were pretty widely reported it is dishonest for you to demand citations and the only reason you did it was so you could then shift the goal posts and demand some kind of proof of motive which does not matter. The fact is, the Trump administration is tamping down on scientific research being released and you so-called "freedom of speech" people don't care. He also regularly threatens people who dare to speak out against him which wasn't a big deal when he was a private citizen--but now he has the government behind him so that becomes actual censorship. The truth is, you freak out over these college students but you don't care that there are actual First Amendment violations happening because it doesn't fit your narrative.
    1
  541. The Dude And saying that "whoever is in control gets to silence people from telling the truth" just kind of proves my point.
    1
  542. The Dude These have been covered pretty extensively on the news for quite some time and I think that your demanding citations is just a dishonest way of trying to slither around the fact that what I'm saying is true and shows you to be a hypocrite when it comes to free speech but here you go; https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/25/us/politics/some-agencies-told-to-halt-communications-as-trump-administration-moves-in.html?_r=0; https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/02/08/nevertheless-she-persisted-becomes-new-battle-cry-after-mcconnell-silences-elizabeth-warren/?utm_term=.d08a6f1e626d
    1
  543. The Dude The Trump administration silencing climate change scientists from releasing their findings. The Trump administration preventing EPA employees from talking about how the govt. is currently cutting and freezing grants. The Republicans in Senate preventing Elizabeth Warren from speaking. These are just the first three that come to mind, I'm sure if I researched further I could come up with more, but I already mentioned these things. I am going to bet that you won't acknowledge these and will still go on in your selective grasp of reality.
    1
  544. I find it interesting that you are focusing entirely on the leftist side of this when there is actual government censorship going on with the Trump administration blocking climate change scientists from speaking. You and Milo focus entirely on this limited area and don't acknowledge that there is actual government oppression going on.
    1
  545. This will be interesting. A lot of the people who were so enraged about SJWs interfering with free speech seem to not really care when right wingers do it.

  547. nonam namrson You actually don't know what you're talking about.

  549. Because you need to stereotype him so you can easily dismiss the logic of what he says?
    1
  550. In what way is it ignorant of real world issues?
    1
  551. I suspect David doesn't like the results of that poll because it fucks with the whole purpose of his platform.
    1
  552. Says who?
    1
  553. The US still has higher violent crime rates than all the countries that have gun bans. We still have far too much gun violence.

    1
  557. Interview Eli Bosnick.
    1
  558. Wait. the people he's appointing to his cabinet are conjecture?
    1
  559. I think that McCain's judgement will always be questionable just for the fact that he put Sarah Palin into national politics and gave her whatever legitimacy she has.
    1
  560. Why do we talk as if things were so great when we were kids. They weren't, and there are a lot of fucked up adults to prove it.
    1
  561. Both Jimmy Dore and Cenk Uger always say that the critics of any Muslim are generalizing about all Muslims even if statistics are actually cited.
    1
  562. Zonda _ I meant that liberals are dismissing people as cisgendered which is ironic because the Muslims they are defending are not supportive of transgendered people.
    1
  563. MadBrainBox You're right.  So there's no point in dealing with you anymore. Bye.
    1
  564. MadBrainBox I'm not even sure how you got on cultural appropriation from this video an my post.
    1
  565. MadBrainBox But, I did see where Bill O'Reilly made the same point and it was just as stupid when he said it.
    1
  566. MadBrainBox I mean that none of those things are what you said. 
    1
  567. MadBrainBox Complete false equivalency.  None of those things are what you said they were.
    1
  568. MadBrainBox Who considers learning a foreign language or eating foreign food cultural appropriation?  Who has ever said that except you and some crazy Fox News commentators?
    1
  569. MadBrainBox I don't think that's what cultural appropriation means, but whatever.
    1
  570. No, pro-choice means that you think we should control our own bodies.
    1
  571. The "right people" to piss off are Latinos and women? I would hope the right people to piss off would be bankers.
    1
  572. I realized why it's not funny when conservatives say "bitches and hos", it's because they actually mean it.
    1
  573. David is too polite here. There are PLENTY of real reasons to dislike Cruz than a gut level.
    1
  574. "Hillary Clinton tells a joke it involves devouring someone's head onstage"? What is that even supposed to mean? I guess it was a joke but it wasn't funny because it wasn't based in anything. I'm not a Hillary supporter but at least be grounded in reality when you're talking about her.
    1
  575. I love Arbys. Beef n' Cheddar.
    1
  576. German Realist Once he is debating the Democratic candidate the polls will include all voters--not just Republicans as they do now. People already know and have opinions of Trump--they're not going to change those. Trump can't help but be Trump--that's what his supporters love and everyone else hates.
    1
  577. +German Realist Actually, I think Trump is Hillary's best hope. People really hate Donald Trump and hatred and fear get people to the polls far better than love.
    1
  578. Light And Shadow In either case, what he said is just not true.
    1
  579. Light And Shadow That's very simplistic. The right thinks that people should be able to make dollars by exploiting and damaging the earth and other human beings without any controls or safeguards. The left thinks that we should all share in making our society better and that there should be controls so that people don't wreck everyone else. 
    1
  580. Fasken2 Adam Rassat, one of Dave's viewers just told me that the First Amendment isn't about government involvement, it's on the previous video in this series.
    1
  581. Dave, one of your regulars just posted that the government has no involvement in freedom of speech on one of your other videos. Apparently he wasn't a troll and had never read the first amendment. I like a lot of what you're doing but I think sometimes your focus has confused people about what Freedom of Speech actually is. You don't have a right not to be called names--even by SJWs.
    1
  582. When Dave starts talking about people who are afraid to speak because they might be called a bigot or get defriended on Facebook it just sounds so petty compared to what this man has actually done. So what if someone calls you a bigot? If you're not a bigot it shouldn't silence you.

  583. How is someone putting their money is a savings account benefiting anyone other than themselves?
    1
  584. A flat tax is not really equal. 10% of someone who makes 20k per year is a much bigger slice than someone who makes 50 million.
    1
  585. I just can't agree that controls of the system lead to the problems. We had far more instability before these were put in place and the market once again became unstable when we removed controls. History does not bear out what he's arguing.
    1
  586. What does he consider the "legitimate functions of a government"? He doesn't include roads? Try driving to you film set without roads.

  587. It's all utopianism. You have to depend on people being rational and putting the greater good over their greed.

  592. Bex Fire You do seem to not have a great grasp on history, and you've passed that on to your daughter. Great job.
    1
  593. Bex Fire There was a major candidate for VP before. Geraldine Ferarro in 1984. Maybe you need some history lessons too.
    1
  594. And yet, there has been no major party female candidate before her. The fact that your daughter doesn't get that says something about how you're educating her.

  596. I don't want Trump that close to the Presidency.

  602. He is as anti-First Amendment as any SJW. People have every right to protest at, and inside, political events.
    1
  603. I don't agree that the Black Lives Matter people are more hateful than the Trump supporters. I think he makes a lot of sweeping statements that are every bit as ill-informed as any regressive liberal.

  605. ***** You never started debating. Just like most libertarians you use philosophies that aren't based on the real world and then call people stupid when you can't support your cause. Why don't all you libertarians get together, come up with a workable model and then get back to us.
    1
  606. ***** They lose it by not trying to prevent people from poisoning others. It's better never to be poisoned at all than to have the people who poisoned you go to jail after you're dead. And people are punished for poisoning people now, so what's the point of libertarianism?

  607. ***** See, and this is where Libertarians lose it. They just want businesses to be able to do whatever they want and hope for the best. It won't work. All this philosophy is meaningless when confronted with the real world.
    1
  608. ***** Because, they always say that businesses won't poison their customers because they wouldn't be able to stay in business so we don't need the government to ensure that their products are safe--as though businesses haven't poisoned their customers for years. They say businesses will do the right thing so they can stay in business--which anyone who has paid attention to history knows isn't true.
    1
  609. ***** From pretty much every libertarian when they say they don't think there should be any government regulations.

  610. She wasn't prevented from speaking, it's just that she already got the publicity she wanted so she didn't have to bother. She is really only in it for the attention. She has very little of value to say.
    1
  611. No. What's going on at Berkeley is free speech. They haven't been able to prevent anyone from speaking -- not Milo, not Ann Coulter. What the President and the RIGHT WING government is doing right now will have an actual effect on things going forward. The students at Berkeley (as opposed to the violent anarchist thugs who should all be in jail) are exercising their freedom of speech and, like it or not, that is their right. What Trump and his administration is doing will limit free speech for all of us.
    1
  612. If Trump actually does manage to change the First Amendment so he can sue news organizations that he doesn't like--that will have long lasting ramification on free speech. If this woman is actually put in jail for laughing at Jeff Session that is a huge violation of free speech. These college students that people on this channel are always freaking out about haven't even been able to prevent anyone from speaking at Berkeley.
    1
  613. I don't need to know your views. The idea that because Trump supported Hillary almost a decade ago he's not a rightist or the people who support him and who he has named to his cabinet are not rightists is idiotic. They are using the government to squash free speech--that is an actual First Amendment violation. We're talking about NOW not a decade ago.

  614. It is my right. I have not denied your right to speak your mind and show what a kook you are. In fact, I encourage it.

  615. I will call you what I want. You're a kook. I don't feel the need to tolerate craziness.
    1
  616. Hey RedBeard, we should call you "twisty" from now on. That was some amazing bullshit.
    1
  617. I think people who allow themselves to be silenced because they fear outrage are not victims here. If they can't stand up for their beliefs even if someone is going to call them names it's their own fault. Self censorship isn't something that can be handled by other people.

  623. It seems like feminism has become not about empowering women or bringing them equality as embracing and holding on to victimization.
    1
  624. What do people think he says that is different than other conservatives? He makes all the same noises and point that all the other conservatives who are also full of shit make. He says nothing that hasn't been said by right winger after right winger for the last 30 years.
    1
  625. The right are engaged in a discussion of policy? Okay, he lives in bizarroworld. The conservatives he's talking about are not the conservatives in the Republican party.
    1
  626. The LEFT has fallen in love with the idea of the strongman? I think a lot of what he says is just B.S. Is he trying to pretend Nixon and Reagan didn't exist? And the Republican party has not been about "leave me alone" in a very long time when it comes to things like women and LGBT people. He's talking about a group of people who don't seem to exist politically.

  629. I loved the Roseann Show and I used to like her stand-up but my issue, since she started being more political is that, like Victoria Jackson, she sounds like she's just using various catch phrases and words but I'm not sure what she's actually saying or whether she knows what she's saying.
    1
  630. His claims about what happens when you raise the minimum wage are actually not true. When people are paid more they are able to spend more which brings up demand. What he claims is just not accurate.

  631. +GodFthrOfSmoke Well, there is room for that hate to be substantiated.

  632. Very interesting. I don't think he's completely correct on every single point but I like the general message.

  633. The reason Christians aren't helping these people is not because they're afraid of being called bigots. It's that Christians--especially in this country have been co-opted by xenophobic conservatives.

  634. So excited about this one. This man is my hero.
    1
  635. I think there are a lot of issues for men's rights activists but, just as Blaire does here, they blame feminists rather than actually try to do anything.
    1
  636. The leftist media was pushing for that freak who claimed to be a little girl? When? What left wing media was doing that. I think she's overstating this quite a bit.
    1
  637. Feminism is not silent on women in Muslim countries. Who do they think are actually arguing against forced burkas and genital mutilation.
    1
  638. Do men's rights activists do anything except complain about feminists? The only thing I ever see them do is blame feminists for everything including circumcision and prison rape.
    1
  639. Has nothing to do with this video but telling someone to "calm down" or "chill" on message boards is as lazy as calling them "racist" to end a discussion.

  642. memwill But, also, things weren't great before 1913--which you would know if you studied history.
    1
  643. memwill And you ignored the post Depression protections and period of stability.
    1
  644. memwill You've presented me with propaganda. That's all you did. Also, you pointed out the year 1913, the depression was in 1929 they put protections into place and we didn't have another major recession till the 70s and 80s when we started deregulating.
    1
  645. memwill And you've presented propaganda.
    1
  646. memwill Showing me propaganda from a pro-capitalist website and think tank isn't a way to convince me of anything.
    1
  647. memwill Bullshit.
    1
  648. memwill Why don't you read some actual history rather than just philosophy.  Look at the Great Depression then consider that after that the protections we put in place kept the economy stable until we started deregulating.
    1
  649. memwill Because it was much better when old people had no safety net so if they didn't have family they could just die on the street. Look at history, things weren't better when there were fewer regulations, the economy was more stable when businesses had more controls on them.
    1
  650. There is a lot of ignorance in what they're talking about. A huge amount of the taxes do go to the military but lowering taxes wouldn't stop that.
    1
  651. Siaynoq8 How about denying gay people equal rights? Forcing women to carry unwanted babies to term even if it could kill them? Capital punishment? Uneven drug laws? No restrictions on mentally ill people getting guns and no requirements for training people in use and safety? I could go on but I have to go back to work.
    1
  652. +K. Dale Boley So, if someone is pro-feminist you're just going to let that go?
    1
  653. calohtar That's fine, and when the idea is proven to be true we can believe it. But not believing something for which there is no evidence of doesn't discourage thought--it encourages inquiry. And right now--it's woo.
    1
  654. Until there's some sort of evidence to support that it's just woo.
    1
  655. I think it's wrong to include "atheism" as a religion ( which I guess he doesn't specifically do) because atheism only says that one doesn't believe in god, there is no dogma explicit to atheism beyond that so you will find any number of beliefs or opinions that don't specifically relate to atheism but can be rational or irrational depending on the atheist. There are atheists who won't accept anything for which there is no empirical evidence but there are atheists who believe in ghosts or alien abductions.

  662. Does she have proof for what she says beyond Facebook?
    1
  663. What are the "origins" of conservatism she's talking about? Trump?
    1
  664. How nice for her to admit that she would have condemned a Democrat for saying exactly what Milo did. I'm glad she's honest about her hypocrisy.
    1
  665. I think she's pining for a "right" that never existed.
    1
  666. Giving lip service to climate change is better than complete denial. Also, after this election whether she likes it or not she has to tow a certain line for the Bernie Sanders supporters.
    1
  667. Says the guy with a Reagan Bush avatar.
    1
  668. I actually think the reason a lot of the responses here say he's not expressing himself well is that people disagree with him. The fact that you don't agree with someone doesn't mean they are stupid or even wrong.
    1
  669. Thank you. Especially after some of the BS we've heard it would be great to hear someone who knows what he's talking about.
    1
  670. Trae Crowder is great. I'm looking forward to this.
    1
  671. Except when you say "there's gotta be more than that" and you say "god" you shut that down.
    1
  672. Where now?
    1
  673. Atheists don't always say "that's the way it is" or "it came into being from nothing", we say "I don't know." We just don't fill in "god" when we don't know the answer. I'm a little surprised Dave would let him get away with that.
    1
  674. The church responded "massively well"? Beg to differ on that.

  678. Are "Judea Christian Values" a real thing? Why does there have to be something not open to debate?
    1
  679. When has god been removed from the equation in the last century?
    1
  680. luvcheney1 And if libertarians are so against government involvement why do they get married (even though they try to stop gay people getting married because they don't want government involvement in marriage).  Apparently gay people should bear the brunt of that because straight libertarians aren't willing to practice what they preach.
    1
  681. luvcheney1 Yeah. They always have been. Which again is the problem of libertarians--they live in a fantasy world.
    1
  682. luvcheney1 Libertarians don't have that much power.
    1
  683. luvcheney1 I didn't say libertarians were at fault for that. Great strawman.
    1
  684. CaleyMcKibbin Reference to what?  If you're looking for libertarians who are not socially liberal look and Ron and Rand Paul, look at Paul Ryan. If you want people who say they are socially liberal when they are not look at many of the supporters of the people above. During the gay marriage debates there were many people who said "the government should stay out of marriage" despite the fact that they were legally (heterosexually) married so the only ones who couldn't get married were gay people and those libertarians weren't really working to get the government out of marriage so gay people would have equal access.
    1
  685. CaleyMcKibbin They will also immediately assume you don't know anything about libertarianism because obviously, if you did, you couldn't possibly disagree with it.
    1
  686. CaleyMcKibbin That's fine. I just find a lot of libertarians who will say "I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative" when they're not even really socially liberal.
    1
  687. CaleyMcKibbin Once again, if you don't agree with what libertarians say you can't be taken seriously. It doesn't matter that they've never actually shown that their theories work in the real world.
    1
  688. whiff1962 You too chubbins. It's cute though that even other libertarians can't figure out what you're trying to say.
    1
  689. whiff1962 Thank you for calling me pretty.
    1
  690. luvcheney1 He doesn't know what his point is. But he think I'm pretty.
    1
  691. whiff1962 And I'll give you the benefit of the doubt when you say you're not a utopian.
    1
  692. Lil Dragon Libertarian philosophy is completely utopian. To succeed everyone would have to be on their best behavior and always act for the greater good. It's as delusional as Communism.
    1
  693. whiff1962 You think I'm pretty. How sweet. Libertarianism is a delusional, utopian fantasy that completely depends on business people acting in ways they never have and never will.
    1
  694. luvcheney1 You've never actually had a job have you?
    1
  695. Lil Dragon That's deluded. The idea that employers and employees are equal in their power is just stupid.
    1
  696. Lil Dragon I've also never argued that companies are required to never question government authority. Where did you ever get the idea that I think government should never be questioned? Do you view everything in such black and white ways?
    1
  697. Lil Dragon Your argument has nothing to do with the issue at hand. Apple's refusal to help the FBI is not proof that government regulations are bad.
    1
  698. Lil Dragon I trust them as much or more than I do businesses-it's based on history. Government regulations for worker protections are far better than things companies usually come up with because the company is only interested in the bottom line.
    1
  699. Lil Dragon It's bullshit that government isn't needed to regulate employment practices--if the government didn't do it the companies wouldn't either--history proves that. If you want anecdotes look up the Arrow Shirwaist fire. 
    1
  700. Lil Dragon Bringing up incidents of possible government overreach does nothing to dispute that government does have a place in regulating businesses. Also, the FBI apparently figured out a backdoor anyway.
    1
  701. Lil Dragon Yes. I have. And again, I'm not saying the government is always perfect or right--but neither are companies.
    1
  702. ***** "Liberal worship". See, you just have to take it to a ridiculous place. I don't worship government. I appreciate it when it works and I don't when it doesn't. But I'm under no delusion that businessmen are always looking out for the good of society either. You have to make it a black and white thing where government automatically equals bad and capitalism automatically equals good. I'm saying neither one is perfect and neither one should be left without oversite. Sorry if that messes with your worship of capitalism--but then your worship of the free market is pretty stupid.
    1
  703. Lil Dragon And those are great. But they don't preclude government oversite.
    1
  704. ***** If you can't tell why that argument is extreme and actually misstates what I said I don't think you can be helped.
    1
  705. Lil Dragon The difference is, with companies their products can be tested before they kill.
    1
  706. Lil Dragon And businessmen are just so honest. Listen to yourself for a moment.
    1
  707. whiff1962 I have never said that I feel this at all and you have never shown any proof that deregulation helps anything. You've only spouted theories that are pretty much bullshit.
    1
  708. whiff1962 Certainly libertarians don't care about facts because their minds reside in a cloudy land where everyone acts in good conscience and no business ever defrauds or harms their customer.
    1
  709. Lil Dragon It doesn't. You don't know a company is bad until they've done bad things. If you wait until a  million children have died from a product it's too late to find out the company was bad.
    1
  710. whiff1962 Thanks for agreeing that the government can and should have a part in protecting its citizens. This protection should include protection against abuse and criminal activity by businesses.
    1
  711. Lil Dragon Because deregulation was a big part of it. And we still haven't taken care of the problem.
    1
  712. whiff1962 Yours are extreme. You strawmanned my statement in the first place.
    1
  713. whiff1962 That's the thing. You have to go to ridiculous extremes to support your claim. The government should protect its citizens to the best of their abilities whenever possible. The only thing businesses actually need to do is make money--so they need to have some regulations because if not the bottom line is where it will stay.
    1
  714. whiff1962 Did I say that? I said government regulations on businesses can, and have been good and to look at it as a black and white thing is a mistake. If it suddenly turns out that your cell phone starts shooting rays in your head that give you tumors I hope the government will regulate against that.
    1
  715. Cryptaris Protocol And things are better now that we don't let small children have to work in mines and we have protections so that companies can't poison us without any recourse. They were even better when banks were regulated so they couldn't bankrupt our economy.
    1
  716. ***** You go to an extreme. Government regulations on business practices are not group think.
    1
  717. Lil Dragon This "are just people" isn't really an argument. That people do bad things are reason for protections not arguments against it.
    1
  718. Lil Dragon It doesn't though. That's just something libertarians say but there's no actual evidence of it. If you can provide even some anecdotal evidence I would love to see it. And markets don't arrive at safety standards. Markets are about making money and there is no morality beyond that.
    1
  719. Lil Dragon It's better that companies are just required to have minimum safety standards than having employees have to do vast amounts of research before they accept a minimum wage job to lift them out of poverty.
    1
  720. Anti Cosmic And that is why libertarians always lose. You can't actually argue for your point so you insult people. But thanks for not responding.
    1
  721. Lil Dragon These are the kind of arguments that just make libertarians seem crazy. "There aren't real entities called "companies", there are just people. People don't always make good decisions"-which is why you need regulations.
    1
  722. Lil Dragon You really don't understand what you're talking about. The regulations put in place after the great depression kept the banks stable for years until under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush they started stripping away those regulations, allowing banks to mix funds and speculate using depositor money. If you're going to make these arguments you should really do some research.
    1
  723. Lil Dragon If businesses did these things because they are good they would have done them without regulations--but they didn't. That's something else history tells us.
    1
  724. Lil Dragon Study some history so that you know what regulations have done for us. Regulations also kept the banks stable for decades until deregulation allowed banks to almost bankrupt the country.
    1
  725. Anti Cosmic I clarified it in other posts. I'm sorry you feel you need personalized attention and unless you stop whining I'm just going to stop responding to you.
    1
  726. Drew McTygue If it's not true libertarians should stop saying it.
    1
  727. skidmoda But I've never met a libertarian who can stop there.
    1
  728. Lil Dragon It's bad to have children working in mines. It's good to allow people to have weekends off. It's good to ensure that employees have at least minimum training for safety and that employers are at least minimally responsible for keeping their workers safe. If you think employers do these things out of the goodness of their hearts you are wrong.
    1
  729. Anti Cosmic Can you only read things that are directed at you? You didn't really invite discussion. You were just being an ass. If you really think "simple" and "not simple" mean the same thing I don't think you're capable of discussing anything.
    1
  730. Lil Dragon I don't know that what you say is true. I think regulations have done both great and bad things, but lack of regulations is definitely not great. If you actually look at the 1800s and think things were great I would have to think you're crazy.
    1
  731. Anti Cosmic Also, I didn't call it simple I said it's NOT as simple as fiscally conservative, socially liberal. You seem to not understand things.
    1
  732. Anti Cosmic That's the problem with people defending libertarianism. They don't address actual issues they just say people who disagree with them are stupid. And that's pretty much what you did here. I listed a few of my issues with it above, as have several others. But you don't read that you just go on the attack.
    1
  733. Lil Dragon Which is pretty much what I said. It's more than just being fiscally conservative and socially liberal.
    1
  734. Adam Fitzpatrick What was hard to understand about it. Libertarians will say that they are just fiscally conservative and socially liberal (although that's sometimes sketchy because many aren't socially liberal) when in reality there is far more to their ideas. They often espouse no government involvement in anything including consumer safety. They oppose the government even doing things like building roads. They think that businesses will act in good faith because capitalism, when we've seen from history that this isn't true.
    1
  735. Anti Cosmic Why don't you think about it a little.

  738. Are you going to call out Trump for actual First Amendment abuses in telling the CDC what words they can't use?
    1
  739. Very interesting. It is my fear that they not only don't want to integrate into the societies they are moving into, they want to change the societies to enforce their values. I'm fine with whoever wants to move somewhere but we need to defend our values and freedoms against them.

  740. Trump is no better on free speech than Hillary and may be worse. Which one had people thrown out of his rallies?

  749. Ben Shapiro is not really a libertarian. He's a conservative.

  754. So are you going to call out Trump for censoring what words the CDC can use?
    1
  755. So, you don't understand the scientific process and peer review. Got it.

  758. jerric1228 No. People like you are what's wrong with this kind of debate. I'm asking for actual specifics on who is making this claim because "some guy I know" is just not good enough.

  771. This is where Dave's non-questioning follow up can run into problems sometimes. She makes several overstatements, leaves out or doesn't know the background on some things, and some flat out inaccurate things that are never clarified; What "liberal media" celebrated that perv who claimed to be a little girl? What does she consider to be the "liberal media"? The whole trans bathroom thing was triggered because some high school (or younger) age trans kids wanted to be allowed to use the bathroom of the sex they identified with in school, it didn't just come out of nowhere. Milo actually wanted to be banned from Twitter and celebrated it so can we really view that as a loss? Those were just a few that came to mind.

  772. I actually disagree with the idea that attention will defang the alt-right. It's given them power. The attention on them has helped them grow and even made them seem legitimate.
    1
  773. Although I disagree with Ben Shapiro on many issues I do respect him as a serious person. Milo, not so much.
    1
  774. Will you have Professor Randa Jarrar on to champion her freedom of speech?
    1
  775. She's probably too big a star but you should get Michelle Wolf on.
    1
  776. Are you going to address the Republican lawmakers in Colorado who want to jail teachers because they don't like what they're saying. Funny that you rarely seem to cover ACTUAL breaches of the First Amendment.
    1
  777. Very interesting. I love how his mind works.
    1
  778. I always find it disturbing that Glen Greenwald, a gay man, is such an apologist for Islam.
    1
  779. Well said Dave. I think we should also point out that on the other end people use charges of "PC" to try to silence people who are speaking against racism etc... Free speech goes both ways.
    1
  780. Education is far more expensive now than it was in the 1990s. Just that limits opportunity.
    1
  781. So you're okay with his sketchy scholarship?
    1
  782. I would like to hear David explain what he means by "libertarian."
    1
  783. Islet of Langerhans So, instead of trying to put words in my mouth why don't you just think about it quietly.
    1
  784. But I do love it when racists defend black people who have been called "Uncle Tom" by other black people.
    1
  785. Dave But you're not racist at all. 
    1
  786. Islet of Langerhans Well, maybe they are.  Don't be dense.
    1
  787. +Dave Who said that? I mean, other than you?
    1
  788. Al Fabeech, no, that's not what smart means.
    1
  789. Should the President Elect really be trolling? Even if he is that's not really a good thing.
    1
  790. This is great. He is right on about Libertarians.
    1
  791. I don't know her well enough to really judge. I'm just going by what I saw on this video--which, I have to say, as much as I like Dave he doesn't really follow up questions so it's sometimes hard to say.
    1
  792. Judging by what she says in this interview I don't find her to be mature. She makes many claims saying that "people say this" or states that things are facts that aren't so. In that way she's rather like Milo who, on Real Time said that transgender people are involved in sex crimes at a high rate but didn't bother to mention that they are the victims and not the perpetrators.
    1
  793. Thank you for telling me what I "should" do. Now, why don't you address my objections.
    1
  794. I don't think debating is necessarily a part of being a journalist. If she is claiming to be objective or impartial she wouldn't actually be taking a side on any issues. In this very video she is neither objective or impartial. Would she have not published the video had the public figure not been her friend?
    1
  795. What does it mean to be a "most genuine" journalist?
    1
  796. +BenBistro004 Your sentence made no sense at all.
    1
  797. I get the feeling the last point influences the first opinion because I don't hear any great reasoning in this video.
    1
  798. I don't really know her. Is she considered to be good at whatever it is she does?
    1
  799. And you still haven't shown you can be fined or jailed for it. If there is no legal repercussion it is a matter of choice. You can say whatever you want, what you can't do is control how people react toward you. That's life. You don't have the right to have all your opinions respected by everyone else. Sorry, that's how life is Snowflake.
    1
  800. +talsapps Several of the articles I read said that the law does not do what you say. Some debate you saw with some lawyer you don't know is not proof of anything.
    1
  801. No, I'm not moving the goal posts. My point has always been the same. You are not being forced to do anything.
    1
  802. +talsapps If the law doesn't prohibit him from doing so then he didn't have to do it. The whole point is that the government has to be behind it and that the government punishes him for not doing it. The conclusion is the only important thing. I'm not moving the goal post that a lawyer said it in some debate and wasn't corrected isn't proof. If you can't find a place where someone was legally punished for doing something you are pretty much whining about something that doesn't exist.
    1
  803. +talsapps So, you believe that certain people should not be allowed to sue. Got it. You do need a conclusion because if the case is thrown out or found for the defendant then it shows that it is not true that you can be fined or jailed for something.
    1
  804. You think there's a problem recommending mediation?
    1
  805. And I did read it and still say "so what"?
    1
  806. Again, people can sue if they think they have a case. The decision seems to be that the applicant didn't respond and so has to respond by the 16th. I'm not sure why this raises red flags. That a case has been filed is not controversial. So what? People sue all the time for any reason. I don't care that people file these suits, has anyone been fined or jailed for not calling someone by a certain pronoun? I have done several searches and the only things that come up are rightwing websites that don't offer any actual incidents.
    1
  807. The human rights tribunal seems to be a government entity. I'm not sure what your objection is. Do you think people should not be able to sue if they feel their rights have been abused?
    1
  808. These links aren't working.
    1
  809. There was no link. I cut and pasted the one further down and it said the link didn't exist.
    1
  810. +talsapps I already read that. Where in the law does it fine or jail people for using the "wrong" pronouns.
    1
  811. RanEncounter It was hard to find what that law actually says because of all the right wing websites with their misinformation but it seems that while it adds transgender people to protected status and the hate speech laws (which I disagree with) it does not do what you say it does.
    1
  812. +Sokar Deal with it. Maybe the real criticism is that you have an irrational reaction to the word.
    1
  813. I don't like the idea of saying that progressives aren't concerned about issues. There's also no proof that it's driving people to the right.
    1
  814. GamerGaters on Steam You're an idiot. Bye.
    1
  815. Who did that?
    1
  816. Excellent show. Very interesting.
    1
  817. nastie30 No, you just, dishonestly, want to have it both ways.
    1
  818. nastie30 So you say it was a joke, but then you defend it as truth. That's dishonest right there.
    1
  819. nastie30 It's dishonest in that it isn't really an argument that feminists seriously make.
    1
  820. nastie30 yeah, It's those "crazy leftists" and not the dishonest rightist (by "dishonest rightist" I mean you.
    1
  821. +Jew and Greek You used your own silly blog as a reference? Oh girl, give it up.
    1
  822. One thing we need to keep track of is that Einstein believing or not is not proof of the existence of a god.
    1
  823. "It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it" -Albert Einstein

  824. I'm afraid I just don't think she's very good at her job, as much as I like her otherwise.

  825. Wow. That's an argument on the level of Ken Ham!

  826. ***** Where did you get your expertise in dialects?
    1
  827. +Seth A and by "not interesting" you mean you don't agree with him.
    1
  828. Then why isn't he standing up to the religious zealots in his party? Why is he, in fact, inviting them into his cabinet and letting them do whatever they want?
    1
  829. Why do you think I want dialogue? I was just telling you where you were wrong. You didn't need to answer, just accept my superior knowledge--I don't know what all that bullshit you're talking about forcing people to do anything.
    1
  830. Michael Burgendy I'm saying that's not necessary for capitalism. In capitalism the profit is the motive, the satisfaction of the consumer and employees is not a point. Sometimes they are but that's not the primary motivation. In capitalism lead toys have been sold, which poison the consumer but that doesn't matter to the profit line.
    1
  831. +HJ GE Not really what she said, she was saying that the concept of the family that conservatives have is no longer the norm or accurate to what family means now.
    1
  832. HJ GE Although, I think part of skepticism is that you actually consider the facts and the evidence.  You don't just dismiss everything out of hand.  Conspiracy theorists dismissing evidence against, say, their 9-11 theory is very similar to theists dismissing evidence of evolution.
    1
  833. Shangori Also, when actual facts and evidence are shown that disproves their theories they reject them and treat the people who actually look at the evidence as though they are the ones who are crazy or foolish.
    1
  834. +HJ GE Evidence.
    1
  835. And yet, for many of the "anti-SJW" movement Sam Harris isn't ideologically pure enough for them because he's a liberal.
    1
  836. It seems like SJW in Egypt is a completely different animal than here in the US.
    1
  837. What is "the mainstream" in the current political environment?
    1
  838. Considering that free speech is currently under attack by our right wing government here in the US I think you should expand the scope of your show.
    1
  839. I think often sunlight just helps bad ideas grow if what makes those bad ideas bad isn't also brought forward.
    1
  840. The church is not reaching out in love to gay people. They are reaching out in what they mistakenly think is love.
    1
  841. That makes it okay then.
    1
  842. This sounds interesting. Your channel has become sort of a rallying point for the alt-right conservatives. Jaclyn Glenn has had an interesting epiphany lately.
    1
  843. As annoyed as I get with liberals and with the left I am still a liberal. I still support liberal principals which include freedom of speech.
    1
  844. The rape laws in India, up till recently, hardly protected female victims either.
    1
  845. Prager seems not to know McCarthyism ever happened.
    1
  846. This is the danger of Dave's style. Prager says a lot of things that are just bullshit and Dave just laughs and lets them pass.
    1
  847. People on the right give more charity TO THE CHURCHES THEY BELONG TO and they adopt more children to indoctrinate them into their religions. Prager is very selective in the facts he takes in.
    1
  848. chemiah I already did. And, in fact, I don't really see the point in continuing this with you because you're not really dealing in an honest way. You throw around claims that you never support and then you ask me to disprove the claims you didn't provide any evidence for in the first place. You accuse me of fallacies such as the appeal to authority when, ironically, you committed it in a previous post. You site authorities and take them out of context and seem to think that's okay.  You're a dishonest debater and I don't think there's any point in dealing with your on the one hand, lies, and on the other, ignorance as though you know what you're talking about.
    1
  849. chemiah You had the wrong definition for a straw man fallacy and the plea to authority. Your debating is terrible because you don't know what you're talking about.
    1
  850. chemiah It is funny that you call other people fundamentalist. That little trick where you use words to mean things they don't mean. And considering how often you've sited fallacies incorrectly at the same time you are using fallacies to support your argument you shouldn't be criticizing other people's debating skills.
    1
  851. chemiah Answers in genesis is a website where they pretend that there is evidence of god in DNA and often confuse evolution and biogenesis--like you do.
    1
  852. chemiah No. It would be an appeal to authority if I claimed that an expert in marketing, like Gary Bates was also an expert in biology. I didn't bring up the Bible, I don't even know where that came from. Your calls for "rational discussion" are ill founded because you're not using rationality. Now, do you have a background in biology at all?
    1
  853. chemiah Do you have any kind of background in biology and if not where are you getting your "evidence". If it's "Answers in Genesis" or some equivalent you're getting very bad information.
    1
  854. chemiah And I'm saying that there is not. Saying that a scientist called the origin of life a "miracle" is not proof of god.
    1
  855. chemiah If you're talking about irreducible complexity it's been debunked, including in the court of law.
    1
  856. chemiah Since we're talking about evolution I'm not fixated on it. I'm not interested in having you move the goal posts. Why are you bringing in something that has nothing to do with evolution as an argument against it? DNA does not provide any evidence of a god or "intelligent agent". It certainly provides no proof of the Christian god.
    1
  857. chemiah And, also, evolution does not deal with the appearance of life. You have, again, not understood what evolution explains.
    1
  858. chemiah And again, you've taken what he said out of context and have used the word "miracle" in a way that he didn't. What you have done here is called a "straw man."
    1
  859. chemiah A straw man is when you misrepresent the argument so it is easily defeated. I didn't do that, I pointed out that the basis of your argument was unsound. If anything, you cherrypicked certain things Denton and Crick said and then misrepresented those things so you are the one who built the strawman.
    1
  860. chemiah That's not what strawman means. The point is that there is enormous evidence for evolution. We have witnessed species evolve (such as insects) within a fairly short period of time as well as the fossil evidence. All of your posts are obfuscations. If you're going to point to these various people to support your claim you should make sure that they actually support your claim, or, in one case, that they have any standing at all.
    1
  861. chemiah Michael Denton is an evolutionist and does not accept creationism. Gary Bates is not a scientist at all and has a background in marketing. Crick says that creationism has no place in science classes.
    1
  862. In America there are places where it can't even be taught in schools.
    1
  863. One thing that many religious people don't seem to get when they refer to people as "darwinist" or "evolutionist", in science we don't take what Darwin wrote as scripture. In science when something is shown to be right or wrong it is taken in and knowledge expands and changes. In religion when someone is shown to be wrong or there is more information, if it doesn't fit the beliefs it is thrown out and condemned.
    1
  864. If only this guy would have been on the show with that Prager idiot.
    1
  865. Mephistahpheles No. There is fossil evidence and we have actually observed evolution. We has watched insects and other animals evolve over time. There is actual data to show how the evolutionary process works.  I do not believe there is a god because there has never been any compelling evidence to prove there is. You can't look at the fact that we don't know for sure how the universe was created or life first came to be and say "it must have been a god". Science needs better evidence than that. But, also, if evolution were suddenly shown not to be true that wouldn't prove the existence of a god. I don't care what you believe as long as you're not using it to enact policy. Evolution wasn't what made me question the existence of god and disproving it (which you wouldn't be able to) would not mean your god exists.
    1
  866. ekool.445 Evolution does not deal at all with the origin of the universe or the origin of life. And it's not ridiculous that people believe in a god, there's just no evidence of it whatsoever while there is abundant evidence of evolution.
    1
  867. Even if evolution was proved to be false--which it hasn't, that wouldn't prove the existence of god.
    1
  868. Mephistahpheles What actual evidence have any of your classes presented for creationism? That science doesn't presently know something doesn't mean that it had to have been a god that did it. Until there is actually evidence to show the only honest answer is "I don't know." Faith is not an answer. Faith is believing things when there is no reason to believe it.
    1
  869. Mephistahpheles I have never blindly accepted evolution as truth. I was pretty much taught creationism growing up and thought it was true until I actually learned what evolution is, took biology classes and read up on it. Once you've actually studied it you're not "blindly accepting" it.
    1
  870. ekool.445 Evolution is a fact. There's no discussion that it's not among people who actually understand the science. And there is no difference between micro-evolution and macro-evolution. They are the same process. They are both just evolution.
    1
  871. Mephistahpheles The difference is, they don't have to take evolution on faith because if they did a little bit of research they could find evidence. Gods, not so much. What evidence of god exists? Find some that isn't based on people's feelings or filling in gaps of knowledge with imaginary ideas. Again, I'm talking about proof not your feelings about looking at waterfalls or rainbows.
    1
  872. Mephistahpheles You don't have to take evolution on faith because there is actual evidence for it. The same cannot be said of any god.
    1
  873. cloudazer But please, stop wasting time.
    1
  874. cloudazer And the fact you're claiming you didn't just shows how dishonest you are.
    1
  875. cloudazer Actually, you did say that.
    1
  876. cloudazer Also, considering your supercilious tone you should not be pointing the finger at anyone and calling them "haughty".
    1
  877. Mephistahpheles And you are not informed about evolution. Get informed and then talk to me.
    1
  878. Arturo Luna Also, if evolution wasn't true things like medicine and vaccinations wouldn't work--something else you could learn about while you're taking in actual education and not just creationist obfuscations.
    1
  879. Mephistahpheles No. There is evidence for evolution.
    1
  880. Put it to the test Solitaire Citizen. Go out, find some random atheists and ask them to explain evolution. This is easy to do.
    1
  881. +Solitaire Citizen This would be easy to research. Why don't you do a study, go out and ask atheists to explain evolution. You might be surprised. And you know what that process of disproving your hypothesis is? Science.
    1
  882. Very interesting. Thank you for this.
    1
  883. Wait, those aren't the voices on the mainstream right? Who do you think the mainstream right is? Whatever Trump may have said and got applause for at some speech his actions aren't following up on that.
    1
  884. What big brave men Milo and his attack goons are. Relentlessly going after an actress for having the nerve to get cast in a movie. How courageous they are. And this is exactly what he wanted. He's been suspended before, he knows the twitter rules. He gets far more publicity crying victim for being banned than he does for his numerous racist tweets. I'm sorry Dave, but as much as I admire your stance against the regressive left getting in bed with these alt-right cowards is not doing your message any favors.
    1
  885. We are still dropping bombs while we're limiting refugees. No one here is calling for unlimited unvetted refugees in the US.
    1
  886. Terii Brown No projection. Just observation. Which Glenn Beck should be under.
    1
  887. Speaking of having former Muslim anti-Islamist people in Canada, why not have Eiynah of Polite Conversations podcast on your show?
    1
  888. He says he believes in science and yet doesn't know what evolution is actually about and doesn't seem to understand the scientific process. This guy is just really not on the level when he talks.
    1
  889. There are Christians who do very scary things. And it wasn't the Puritans who founded our economic system. I don't like how easily and reflexively David accepted that argument.
    1
  890. He makes a completely dishonest claim about evolution and then brings up something that has nothing to do with evolution (biogenisis) This is when David either doesn't question or doesn't know what questions to ask. It's a disservice to his audience.
    1
  891. We still have gender.
    1
  892. So Israel treats people decently?
    1
  893. So he studied "Leftism" but he didn't study science. But, also, as far as the dismissal by one word the same is true on the right--"communist", "liberal", "pinko", it's a two way street.
    1
  894. The Republican party says it's against big government but, in practice, it's not. They still want the government completely involved in our personal lives.
    1
  895. Dave, the people Catlyn Jenner is arguing with on that show are other trans women.
    1
  896. I'm sorry but "most liberals are unreasonable so I'm supporting Donald Trump"? Can't go there.
    1
  897. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are not interested in figuring out how we're going to get along.
    1
  898. +Nigel Diggs A horrible idea. This guy has some of the most sketchy reasoning I've heard from the people Dave's interviewed.
    1
  899. +Mr Maws I agree, and he didn't come up with a good reason. It was just a bunch of unrelated crap.
    1
  900. How does he think that Ted Cruz or Donald Trump are going to fix the economy? He's also completely misrepresented Caitlyn Jenner's argument--it was just "Benghazi, Benghazi, emails, emails."
    1
  901. MSNBC isn't that left anymore.
    1
  902. Ah, complain about Trump being misquoted or taken out of context then do the same thing to Sanders. That's what I love about libertarians.
    1
  903. You go too far in your praise of Trump. It's great to let people talk but there's no need to suck up.
    1
  904. I think in fighting against the "regressive left" we have to also be careful about not getting fooled by the "regressive right"--or rather, "the right."
    1
  905. ***** I would agree. Actually, when you go back and listen to Lenny Bruce he's not really that funny. A lot of it could just be that his material was very much of its time, but it doesn't survive well.  I don't know this guy's humor but I didn't find him funny in this video. Usually when comedians say they are equal opportunity offenders I have to take that with a grain of salt because it's not really true. When they insult people of their own ilk it's usually much more gentle.
    1
  906. The bias could be based on the fact that conservative comedians aren't usually funny.
    1
  907. I don't actually find him funny.
    1
  908. Well, that sounds like a deeply thought out comment.
    1
  909. This sounds really interesting. I'm glad you're getting a variety of guests.
    1
  910. He lost me on his first argument comparing climate change to eugenics (and, actually, nazism).
    1
  911. His degree in in philosophy?
    1
  912. +D Mc Also, when the Bill Clinton shit was going on there were a whole lot of jokes about him--is Bill Cosby some sort of conservative icon? I don't think so. Also, there were no rape jokes about Bill Clinton because he was accused of womanizing (and lying) not rape. If there were serious rape accusations you can bet the Republicans at the time would have used them.
    1
  913. Trump has said that he will nominate anti-gay supreme court justices who will make gay marriage illegal--another flip flop? What do we actually believe?
    1
  914. Wait, did you say he supports Trump? Because that's not what it sounds like. I don't think he sounds very supportive of Trump or Hillary.
    1
  915. Josiah Poling You don't consider gay people's rights to be rights.
    1
  916. Josiah Poling You've already said you don't. And the fact that you think their rights somehow infringe on yours is just weird.
    1
  917. Josiah Poling I watched the video. You've stated you don't care about gay people's rights. But the idea that gay people being able to marry or trans people being able to use a public restroom infringes on your way of life--I don't care. If your way of life infringes on the rights of others it's the same thing.
    1
  918. Josiah Poling So, I'm right. You don't care about LGBT people. You don't consider their rights to be rights. That's all that needs to be said.
    1
  919. Josiah Poling You don't care. You think this is about marriage (which it isn't) which you don't think is a civil right, so you can dismiss it and not think about it. You want to argue that there is no discrimination and I don't really have time to deal with you and your denial. It's fine not to care about something--just don't try to bullshit and act like you do.
    1
  920. Josiah Poling You've already admitted that you don't care about LGBT people's rights. I really don't care about your stupid arguments. They've already been tried in the Supreme Court, they failed there and they haven't gotten better with your reasoning, so what's the point.
    1
  921. Josiah Poling No. I really don't. If I decide your points aren't worth wasting time on I'm not going to waste time on them. Marital rights are civil rights--but if you really think this is all just about gay marriage that shows once again how far up your ass you are. These laws eliminate LGBT's peoples abilities to even try to have legal recourse--but, of course, you don't care. It's not something important like some feminist saying something mean about video games.
    1
  922. Josiah Poling Why wouldn't he? And you don't seem to care so, I stand by that. How about the current ones that don't let gay people have recourse for discrimination.
    1
  923. Josiah Poling Sure they are. Look at all the anti-gay laws in the South. I'm sorry you don't care about those people but that's your privilege for being a self-absorbed jerk who only really cares about gaming. So, to sum up, you're full of shit.

  928. I never heard of Anita Sarkesian until the gamergate people started bringing her up on every single youtube video. How important was she before gamergate made her important?

  929. It's always a red flag to me when someone divides people up into 3 categories and then strawmans their reason.

  931. He's right on about the weird feminist support of Islam, there's also the weird LGBT support of Islam.
    1
  932. I think Milo Yanopolis and Ben Shapiro are truly sad figures but shouting people down or not letting them speak is always a bad idea.
    1
  933. bellarose Do you mean "feminist community" when you say "female community"?  Because I know a lot of "females" who don't agree with you.
    1
  934. bellarose Sounds like we should start talking about the animus against the lgbt community by people in the "female community" (really?) like you. When you say "female community" what are you talking about because I know a lot of women who love drag queens.
    1
  935. ***** One talks.  One has meetings in apartments, dorm rooms, wherever.  One educates friends on their issues.  One talks about the actual issues rather than just whining about the mean feminists.  If your whole thrust is anti-feminist you're not going to be taken seriously because once you get out into the real world no one cares about feminism but if you educate parents about circumcision and legislators about prison rape or spouse abuse someone might take you seriously.
    1
  936. bellarose And less importantly, I stand up for women's issues on Youtube message boards.  But, when feminists go overboard they need to be criticized for that.  They should let these MRAs have their meetings because then everyone will be able to hear how little they actually have to say.
    1
  937. bellarose Gay men are a big part of clinic defense but we think women are better spokespeople for it.  I was picketing as a part of clinic defense and other women's issues since the 80s and I would speak about it in my own groups such as ACT UP and Queer Nation but the spokespeople (who were usually women) for those groups did a better job as the public face than I would have.
    1
  938. mr pleb No.  I'm saying feminists are like the men who shouted down early feminists and gay people and wouldn't let them speak.  If you let yourself be silenced it's your fault.
    1
  939. bellarose Yes,  I've seen lots of gay men speak on the issues women face.  But most of us think women should speak for themselves and that we don't need to speak for them.
    1
  940. ***** One educates the populace to gain support of it's goals--just like feminists, gay people and other minorities--racial or philosophical have done for centuries.
    1
  941. mr pleb I'm a cis white male. And if your speech is shut down--keep talking.  Feminists and gay people were actually arrested and beaten for giving speeches. 
    1
  942. mr pleb You're not giving speeches.  You're whining about feminism in the comments on Youtube.  You've barely addressed any of the issues you claim to care about because that would take away from you whining about feminism.
    1
  943. Sinus Wutz I'm not having any bigotry.  I'm telling you you're not working hard.  I haven't put down men and I haven't put down your cause.  But I like the way you try to copy these campus groups by trying to silence people by accusing them of bigotry.  There's something you learned from feminists.  Too bad it's not really useful.
    1
  944. mr pleb Go back to the early part of the 1900s and tell me people were listening to feminists.
    1
  945. mr pleb Sinus Wutz It's funny that you both think I'm attacking you and minimizing your issues when, in reality, I'm actually encouraging you.  But, you both would rather whine that work.  It makes me think your movement is doomed to lethargy.  I suspect you both spend more time gaming than you do trying to stop circumcision. If early feminists, gay rights and civil rights movements had followed your lead nothing would have changed ever.
    1
  946. mr pleb +Sinus Wutz  In fact.  I wonder if it's not the fact that you're men and used to having everyone listen to you that isn't the problem.  That it isn't happening right now you are, instead of going on, just pouting and saying "nobody's listening to me".  Fire alarms--wow, that sounds like things that have been happening to minority groups for years, why should the MRA group be any different?
    1
  947. mr pleb Then these MRAs need to keep talking.  Women, gays, racial minorites were shut down for hundreds of years.  I think the fact is, most men just don't feel oppressed.  If you want to educate them just as women, gays and racial minorities have been doing for much longer then that's what you need to do.
    1
  948. mr pleb They are not stopping MRAs from doing things.  MRAs just aren't doing things.  Whatever is stopping MRAs from doing things--instead of whining about it, try harder.  Do you know how long it took for gay people to strike down anti-sodomy laws (some of which are still on the books).  Do you know how long it took for women to get the right to vote?  I suspect if there were enough men who were interested in doing these "men's day activities" they wouldn't be able to shut them down. 
    1
  949. mr pleb Feminists aren't responsible for circumcision. 
    1
  950. Sinus Wutz You know what.  These "harpies" aren't mine and they're not going stop.  And if you let them stop you that's your fault.  They're not keeping you from anything--the only thing keeping you from anything is that you're not doing anything except blaming feminists who actually have nothing to do with the issue.  Feminists aren't behind circumcision and for the most part they're not causing men to kill themselves. 
    1
  951. Sinus Wutz This is where I don't think you actually want to do anything.  I think you just want to feel victimized because that's how you perceive these other groups so you feel like that's not fair.  The real power comes when you stop acting like a victim and take action.  Educate people about suicide (like the LGBT movement has been doing for years) educate people about circumcision (like international feminists have been doing for years) and try to enact legislation that will help.  Follow in the footsteps of the guy that got the shelter and set up organizations that do something about these issues.
    1
  952. mr pleb I think you need to stop comparing everything to feminism.  Feminism is established for better or worse, MRAs aren't.  If you want to be taken seriously you have to show that you are.  One shelter isn't enough--and again, you need to recognize where the actual power lies, which isn't with feminists.
    1
  953. Sinus Wutz Where did I make fun of you?  Where did I make fun of circumcision?  If you attack everyone who questions you it's no wonder people don't want to support you.  And is circumcision the only issue you care about?  You need to educate people rather than just trying to shame them.
    1
  954. mr pleb Also, after a quick search it seems like many of the male domestic abuse resources are also anti-gay, that seems like a huge mistake. 
    1
  955. mr pleb Where did I say it was okay to deny them?  See, that's the thing, you are immediately defensive even though I said nothing of the sort.  What I said is that MRAs aren't actually doing anything except whining about feminists.  It's great this person got a domestic shelter (by which I guess you mean for men because there are other abuse shelters) but that's not enough.  You have to know where the fight is, it's not feminists who are denying you--it's the system which is mostly controlled by other men.
    1
  956. mr pleb Great beginning.  Now keep going.  This person was probably denied but kept going.  He did more than complain and whine about feminists.
    1
  957. mr pleb If your movement doesn't gather strength it's because you're not appealing to other men--not because feminism is keeping you down.  The fact is, most men aren't upset by the issues you present.  Men, for the most part, don't care about circumcision and treat prison rape as a joke.  For that matter--you seem to concentrate completely on circumcision.  Is that the only issue you really care about other than trashing feminists?
    1
  958. Sinus Wutz Wow, you get denied--just like every civil rights group in history. 
    1
  959. mr pleb The fact is, whenever I have talked to MRAs about any of these issues their actions have always stopped at complaining about feminism.  Feminism isn't what's pushing circumcision--it's religion and the medical industry--that's where you've got to focus--not on feminists who really don't have a lot of power in the greater scheme of things.
    1
  960. mr pleb Really?  Then, just as all the other groups before them who were talking but not being listened to they need to do something.  Do you think lesbians and gays got the right to marry by sitting around talking about it?  Do you think women got the right to vote or the right to have legal abortions by just talking?  No.  Do something, stop whining and do something.   I was in England several years ago and there were protests about child custody issues--at least the word was getting out.
    1
  961. mr pleb What feminists claim to speak for men's issues?
    1
  962. Sinus Wutz What's AC?  You use all these initials and all it does is make you seem like a cult.  You're as bad as Scientology.
    1
  963. Sinus Wutz Wow, how did I make you so mad? I'm Cis too, Do you know that that means?  Why should feminism address male circumcision?  It has nothing to do with feminism.  For that matter what do you actually do about circumcision other than blame feminists? You seem to have really misrepresented everything I've said. Again, when MRAs actually start doing something about issues like circumcision or prison rape I'll take them seriously--but they don't.
    1
  964. Sinus Wutz I think it is an issue and I don't think MRAs do anything about it except complain.
    1
  965. bellarose I am gay, so if I go by your logic I should ignore feminist issues?
    1
  966. This will be interesting. There are some good things in Ayn Rand, there are also some truly crazy or just naive things.
    1
  967. Because anti-feminists never say anything like that.
    1
  968. Scott Adams is brilliant. But I hope he's wrong about Trump winning.
    1
  969. I'm not saying we should be outraged but I think Dave is wrong that ignoring things is any kind of solution.

  970. Thank you! My first shot of the day!

  971. Well, this will go a long way to make people see third parties as not kooky.
    1
  972. Why don't we talk about the politician who beat up a reporter for asking him a question. Oh, wait, that politician was a conservative so we pretend it's less important than college students protesting right wingers.
    1
  973. Why don't we talk about the reporter who was arrested for questioning HHS Secretary Tom Price. Oh, wait, that's not nearly as damaging to free speech and freedom of the press as liberals calling people "racist".
    1
  974. There does seem to be this idea that free speech means that you can't be judged for what you say.
    1
  975. I will go with him as far as the establishment Republicans and Democrats being bad, but not that Trump is a reasonable route out of it. Not when there's a Bernie Sanders around.
    1
  976. Linus Fedora Tips Every debate, speech and tweet Trump has ever done.
    1
  977. Trump has never engaged in a real debate or honest discussion. He says nothing.
    1
  978. The thing about this is, that sometimes people really are bigots, and while it's true that the regressive left does use these terms to stifle conversation just as the right uses words like "communist", "socialist', "liberal" etc... bigots can use your condemnation of calling people bigots as a shield when someone rightfully calls them on their bigotry. I think rather than condemn the use of the words, it's better to disagree publicly when you think the words are misused.

  979. ***** Seinfeld references haven't been clever for about 20 years.

  980. YouthInEyesAsian lol
    1
  981. Islet of Langerhans I feel sorry for you too.  You do realize that Jerry Seinfeld never played a college campus.  The story he told was just based on something someone said to him and not an actual event.  And that there is as little thought going into saying "Not that there's anything wrong with that" as there is into the people who rise up at any criticism or Islam.  You want to put everyone into little boxes and assume that because they don't like this then they must be that.  You're as narrow minded as the people you claim are so damaging.  The discourse goes both ways.  I don't claim that the people who say "not that there's anything wrong with that" are bigots--just lazy.
    1
  982. Islet of Langerhans The original joke, back in the 90s was funny--though in that episode the characters obviously did feel that there was something wrong with that because they panicked at every point when someone thought they might be gay.  The joke of the series is that they did feel there was something wrong with it but felt they had to say there was nothing wrong with that because they wanted to be acceptable for society.  You need to watch the episode again and notice the way they react and not just what they say. 
    1
  983. YouthInEyesAsian You're right. It's like saying "no offense" after you've just said something completely offensive.
    1
  984. Islet of Langerhans <-Does not want to admit that It's not because others are  PC, it's that he's a jerk.
    1
  985. YouthInEyesAsian No.  I find it annoying and offensive that people say it whenever they mention gay people.  If there's nothing wrong with it why do people have to keep saying it.
    1
  986. YouthInEyesAsian It was funny until about 2 minutes after the original episode ended.

  989. Dave, the "anti-humans" is a bad name. It doesn't say what he finds wrong with what the people he's fighting and just sounds silly.

  990. Dave, don't mention gays to him, it seems to make him uncomfortable.

  991. +Ed Gloss I don't think they are comparable, but I think that we all should have bodily autonomy and if someone does not want to give birth to a baby we should not force them to do so.
    1
  992. I've never heard a really good explanation of how libertarian economics are supposed to work and when you ask Libertarians seem to say "you're stupid for not getting this," which makes me think they don't understand it either. I think we need to be careful about these systems because while they're pretty great (if somewhat naive) on social issues, economically I find it kind of sketchy. It all seems to depend on everyone acting honestly and with good faith--which I don't think ever happens.
    1
  993. You have all been using restrooms with trans people your entire life and never known it.
    1
  994. When you're talking about "free speech" in science you're talking about acting like the things that people pull out of their asses are the same as things that people study for years and years and prove to be true.
    1
  995. Irek Cz. In that case, the SJWs who protest against Milo are also just using their freedom of speech. So, this shows that Milo is actually anti-freedom of speech. Thanks for making my argument Irek.
    1
  996. ***** But you're right, Ben Shapiro is better.
    1
  997. ***** The things he hasn't said show that he's selective. Its fine to say he's a champion of freedom of speech when SJWs are against it, but leave it there because he's not fighting against the Trump gag orders on scientists working on climate change. So, he's a champion of free speech in limited circumstances.
    1
  998. ***** Yes. The SJWs on college campuses are anti-free speech and so is Milo!  Common ground.
    1
  999. ***** I will agree. I will also say that, in reality, neither does he. I am fine with Shapiro on college campuses because he doesn't put individual students in danger. He is also more ethically consistent than Milo. He would be a much better choice for these groups to have on college campuses, although I think he's wrong on many things. He seems to be okay with the government being involved in the lives of LGBT people even though he wants it out of religion and businesses.
    1
  1000. Irek Cz. Bullshit. He hates it when SJWs suppress freedom of speech but doesn't care when the right does it. Prove me wrong. Show me where he railed against the people who boycotted stores because they didn't say "Merry Christmas" enough (he actually came out in favor of these conservative SJWs). Show me where he's come out against Trump's current ACTUAL offenses against freedom of speech which are really abuses because it's coming from the government. He, and you, are so far up your butts that you actually think you're for free speech when you're really just for narrowly defined free speech.
    1
  1001. ***** He also claims to be a champion of free speech at the same time he supports Trump who is preventing scientists from reporting their discoveries and stamping down on the freedom of the press--that seems pretty dishonest, although that was never my point.
    1
  1002. ***** Seeing as how that wasn't my argument I don't know why you're moving the goal posts. I'm saying he shouldn't be on college campuses because he has targeted specific students from his platform which puts them in danger. There are better people to have address this issue than Milo.
    1
  1003. Irek Cz. He brings them up in dishonest ways and has a reputation among certain people as a crusader for freedom of speech when, in reality, he just mocks easy targets and is a crusader for a very thin strand of freedom of speech. There are people who bring up the same things as Milo but do it much better. There is no reason for him to be on a college campus.
    1
  1004. ***** Milo uses threats as much as any feminist SJW.
    1
  1005. blueone black, I'll continue criticizing him. That other students invited him is unimportant. Once he doxes a student and puts out that students name knowing full well that his fanboys will then harass this student he shouldn't be allowed on campus. He is also a hypocrite when it comes to freedom of speech--he only defends SOME speech.*****
    1
  1006. Jesse Sewell Also, the minute he doxes a student from the stage and says her name the college should ban him. There are better people to speak to this subject.
    1
  1007. Jesse Sewell He is completely a provocateur and is not intellectually rigorous. He condemns the SJWs on the left but not those on the right--many of whom have a far bigger impact than these college students. He doesn't seem to care about freedom of speech when it's someone calling in a threat to an Anita Sarkeesian speech at a college in Utah. He doesn't care that Christians are boycotting businesses who say "Happy Holidays". He is really only interested in mocking feminists and transgender people and his science on the transgender issue is crap. Also, this "command" of facts he has is also selective. It's not like there is someone fact checking him as he goes along on tv shows. It's easy to overwhelm someone if you throw a whole bunch of information at them and then expect them to respond. It's called a Gish Gallop and it doesn't mean the galloper is brilliant.
    1
  1008. Jesse Sewell I disagree. His methods are those of a bully they are not intellectually rigorous and are just showboating. His command of evidence and facts is selective. And college campuses are within their rights to ban him considering he opens up individual students to harassment and possible violence. His "truth" is again, selective. He does not call out abuse of freedom of speech in all its forms--only very specific targets that he has gotten a lot of attention for. He goes nuts over transgender students while dismissing the abuses of our government. He's a hollow man.
    1
  1009. ***** Seeing as how I'm not a public speaker celebrity who goes around pretending to be a champion of free speech your comment is just silly and childish. I'm sorry your hero has feet of clay but it's not my fault you chose to buy all the bullshit he pushes without questioning.  I know it's hard for you to have to reevaluate all the things that you've devoted so much of your unquestioning brain to but you'll just have to deal with that.
    1
  1010. There's a million things he could talk about but he doesn't because his commitment to freedom of speech is a skin deep act. His fanboys get all upset at college feminists and transgenders while ignoring actually dangerous threats. He's a distraction--and you re the distracted.
    1
  1011. He could also be speaking out against the laws Republicans are trying to pass that would make it illegal to protest at all or that would make it okay for people driving cars to actually run over protestors. Again, he's really only for selective freedom of speech. If you keep having to make excuses for Milo, maybe he's really not such a great spokesman.
    1
  1012. Point me to the videos where he calls out the right for trying to stop people's freedom of speech. Point me to the video where he takes the Trump administration to task for shutting down scientists releasing their research. College SJWs are easy targets. Point me to where he criticizes the people who boycotted businesses for saying "Happy Holidays", point me to where he criticizes 1 Million Mothers. Go ahead, point me to any of those.
    1
  1013. He points the finger at SOME people who are against free speech. He's certainly not pointing the finger at Trump preventing scientists from presenting their findings. Also, those students who protest also have free speech and it just so happened that there were so many of them the college saw it as a security issue. He still has his freedom of speech--none of the people he doxes onstage so that his fanboys can and will harass them have the kind of platform he has. Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you get to say whatever you want and everyone else has to shut up. Sorry, freedom of speech goes all ways.
    1
  1014. I also think it's interesting that all you supposed free speech advocates are freaking out so much about campus feminists and transgender people when you fucking Daddy Trump is currently preventing scientists from presenting their research--that's a far more dangerous threat to freedom of speech.
    1
  1015. +kabes When he whines about how his speeches are shut down when that is actually what his ultimate goal is. He could give these speeches without putting students on the campus in danger--but he doesn't do that because he wants to stoke the flames and doesn't actually care that he is endangering anyone. But, then he whines about how his freedom of speech is being oppressed.
    1
  1016. I do think protestors are wrong when they go into the event and scream and don't allow the speaker to talk, but that's not what happened at UC Davis. Whether you think the college was wrong for shutting down the event is another matter.
    1
  1017. +kabes The college shut down the UC Davis event because so many protestors showed up that they couldn't guarantee safety. Those students had the right to protest. They did not commit any violence and they stayed outside the venue. Especially considering Milo's history of targeting individual students and exposing them to harassment I think they are justified in protesting him. It's hard because everyone here has the right to freedom of expression. But, if it's any consolation Milo is still allowed to express himself and continues to do so. He revels in this sort of thing and acting like a victim.
    1
  1018. + bluone black I don't know who you're talking about but, no.
    1
  1019. Jesse Sewell By putting up the photo of a trans student who goes to the very college he's speaking at. Telling the audience the person's name and pointing out that this is a person who should be harassed. That's incitement and to not admit that is just disingenuous. He knows what his fanboys do because they've done it over and over.
    1
  1020. Jesse Sewell Also, I know who he is and where he came from and I still don't see the value of him as a speaker on college campuses. There are many people who can talk on the issue of free speech who don't cause danger to students on campus.
    1
  1021. Jesse Sewell I don't care about his beginnings. The fact is that he shows poor judgement. Once he targets an individual student on a college campus, shows their photo, gives their name and points them out to his fanboys he knows what those fanboys will do. If he actually was just giving speeches and using those facts and research to make fools of feminists and SJWs I wouldn't care--but he takes an extra step and encourages the targeting of vulnerable people on college campuses. I don't think he should be allowed on these campuses at all. Whatever value he might have as a free speech advocate is diminished by his using that to target individuals.
    1
  1022. ***** None of that happened. You're believing "alternate facts" here. The police department has said that none of that happened. There is no evidence of it happening--because it didn't happen.
    1
  1023. German Realist Milo's followers don't offer anything of value other than insults. They have the right to do that but others have the right to criticize them. And if they do it on a privately owned social media site that company has a right to decide what kind of speech they want. Milo's "freedom of speech" is all about provocation. He really doesn't offer anything of value beyond driving certain ideological nutty young adults crazy. There are people who do the same thing as Milo and say it much better.  Also, the people who claim to be such defenders of freedom of speech can be just as bad. Look at the threats whenever Anita Sarkeesian has a speech. I am not in any way defending her--just pointing out that it's not single sided.
    1
  1024. @c30f$p@d3z It seems like we really have to parse either way. There have recently been several cases where people--especially people of means got away with rape or received very minor sentences.
    1
  1025. Actually though, there have been many cases where rapists do get off more easily than other crimes.
    1
  1026. Peter Mogensen Just a lot of blather.

  1027. Matthew Morton Once again, lots of noise signifying nothing.
    1
  1028. Jesse Sewell I'm sure if he was on a show where the host asked follow up questions he might have more to say on that issue. It certainly does go to the level of irrationality.
    1
  1029. Of course, Matthew, you only watch things that will confirm your preconceived biases.
    1
  1030. It is also possible that in the way our culture evolved it's less important to have perfect eyesight or great strength than to be intelligent.

  1034. So, how comfortable are you with Trump and the NFL owners clamping down on freedom of speech?
    1
  1035. itsinmynamechap And some are just ridiculous. I have to look at all his statements with a lot of skepticism.
    1
  1036. itsinmynamechap I also think he just likes to say things to get a reaction. Some of the things he says are just ridiculous.
    1
  1037. I'm unwilling to give Milo that much credit at this point. While I agree with him on the PC stuff he's still a conservative and I don't find his arguments convincing--especially his religious views.

  1038. The Other Guy Just did a quick google search about the districts with over 100% turnout and it turns out the whole thing is a lie and was based on a fraudulent email sent out by anti-Obama far right groups. So, nice try but you shouldn't believe everything you read on an email or a right wing web site.
    1
  1039. The Other Guy You need to site a reference for this because it seems like you're just lying or you're reading right wing propaganda.
    1
  1040. The Other Guy The black panther thing wasn't voter fraud. (And, in reality wasn't really an issue). That would be voter intimidation and should have been handled by the police, not the election committee. And that thing with over 100% turnout is just a lie.
    1
  1041. Pineverends And it is about a problem that doesn't exist. Voter fraud isn't an issue.

  1042. Jack Allen We have more to worry about the political parties gaming the system than we do from voter fraud.
    1
  1043. Jack Allen There is no voter fraud. It's not a problem. Do some research before you freak out.
    1
  1044. Stonar Logic I'm just wondering how you got that out of anything I've said. Maybe it's because you've actually assumed far more about me than I ever did about you.
    1
  1045. Stonar Logic And again, talking to libertarians doesn't necessarily make their arguments better.
    1
  1046. Stonar Logic I don't care if you're a libertarian. Your arguments are.
    1
  1047. Stonar Logic I don't believe that. But whether or not you're a libertarian you strawman arguments like one.
    1
  1048. Dup
    1
  1049. +Stonar Logic Don&#39;t kid yourself. We&#39;ve talked to libertarians and they haven&#39;t convinced us. The problem is, libertarians think that everything they say is just so obvious no one could ever disagree unless they were stupid so you never actually give any good arguments.
    1
  1050. How about the irony of Milo being brought down by conservatives, not the liberals you all have been complaining about?
    1
  1051. maxime lavoie-hudon Absolutely brutal.
    1
  1052. maxime lavoie-hudon I probably shouldn't have lumped him in with those others. I like Sargon on many fronts but I think he does not understand gender inequity, but you are right that he's not as bad ad D'Souza, McCain and Steele (or Adam Carolla who is truly an idiot).
    1
  1053. Oops! I am a fan of Sam's. That's how I found Dave. I wish all the interviews were as good as the Sam Harris one. But, you have to consider the guests.
    1
  1054. How about the politician physically attacking a reporter for asking a question? How about the Senate shutting down Elizabeth Warren because they didn't like the questions she was asking? How about the Trump government silence climate scientists? How about the government threatening to limit the freedom of the press? Sorry, but these students haven't actually silenced anyone.
    1
  1055. Calvin Smith We can't let people get away with lies--that is exactly what Dave Rubin has been saying in all these videos and now he lets this guy tell a whole string of flat out false things.
    1
  1056. Calvin Smith Except they weren't.  The whole thing was created by the Bush administration.  They were not a threat to us.
    1
  1057. IRAQ DIDN'T COMMIT 9-11. For Christ's sake Dave I'm so disappointed in you.
    1
  1058. 6:53--that was actually the Strawman argument against the war. The real argument against it is that the Bush administration lied to get us into the war and claimed Iraq attacked us when they hadn't.
    1
  1059. I think that people who are part of the majority (say heterosexuals) think that things like sexuality don't define them because they don't have to think about it. They never have to address it, but I think it's far more important than they think at a surface level.
    1
  1060. He's drunk.

  1061. fab006 The entanglement between objectivism and capitalism just won't work. The aim of capitalism is to make money and the idea that capitalists will act rationally rather than just out of immediate gratification is not supported by history.
    1
  1062. fab006 Which seems pretty obvious so I don't know why people find it revolutionary--except that I haven't seen her followers react that way either.
    1
  1063. m0ZZaik Because it means that for it to work people have to act rationally. The idea that all it means is that people can be and are irrational isn't actually the problem with the philosophy, it's that for Libertarianism to work people have to be rational--and they're not.
    1
  1064. m0ZZaik I misspoke, I meant Objectivism.

  1065. m0ZZaik misspoke

  1066. Geronimo32509 An interview doesn't include asking tough questions? Says who? And I'm not talking about a debate, I'm talking about asking follow up questions, especially when someone says something blatantly untrue. I'm also not saying he has to be an expert (although that was a great strawman) just that he do some research on the guests and subjects in his interviews. And I'm not surprised you'd like to hear them talk out of their ass rather than be questioned--because as long as they are not questioned you don't have to question what they say or your assumptions.
    1
  1067. Geronimo32509 Funny. That's what people criticize the MSM for. Not asking tough questions so that the guests will come on the show. It's not a list of things that I can provide. It would come from researching his guests or the issues they are going to talk about. I know it's crazy to expect an interviewer to prepare but I guess I'm a dreamer.
    1
  1068. Geronimo32509 He should know certain things and if he doesn't he shouldn't just agree with what his guests say.
    1
  1069. WigganNuG The CEO of Chik-fil-a did more that just not be in favor of gay marriage. He donated money to the groups passing the "kill the gays" laws in Africa, as well as funding some anti-gay movements in this country.
    1
  1070. VisionStorm1 So, someone on Twitter says something idiotic and that has what to do with me or with anything we've talked about. You're being selective as well because believe me, plenty of conservatives said the same thing about Obama since Twitter started. You're really grasping here.
    1
  1071. VisionStorm1 No, it really didn't. They talked about the emails and servers and also kept talking about how unlikeable she is. With Trump they just talked buddy-buddy with him up and really gave him a pass. The Sunday morning shows like This Week With George Stephanopoulis  basically let him call in whenever he wanted and just go on and on uninterrupted. You're remembering things in a way they didn't happen.
    1
  1072. VisionStorm1 Didn't happen. They talked nonstop about the emails and the server but didn't address any of the many issues around Trump's campaign until he became the candidate and even then they concentrated more on the sex scandals than the serious ethical questions.
    1
  1073. jaws What a shallow and really inaccurate statement. The MSM was far harder on Hillary than on any of the Republican candidates. The MSM didn't even really question Trump until he actually became the nominee.
    1
  1074. Maxim Calixte Yes, even less power than I stated, but so many of the people who view these videos think that small bit of power is the greatest existential threat in today's world.
    1
  1075. jaws I disagree that the regressive left have a lot of power anyone other than in certain universities. As it stands right now the radical right have a lot of power and are using it.
    1
  1076. ***** Sorry mixed up who I was talking about.
    1
  1077. Dave doesn't question them when they are objectively wrong either. I often think he just doesn't know what the facts are. I'm not going to watch the Prager video again although I remember that there were things he said that were objectively wrong. I do remember specific things on other videos where the guest said something that was just provably false and Dave just nodded along.
    1
  1078. ***** Except those low expectations keep being met. And actually pointing out when a guest is wrong is more information, not less.
    1
  1079. And how many of Dave's viewers do you actually think bother to find out what evolution actually says and what the scientific method actually entails?
    1
  1080. This shows the danger of Rubin's style. Prager says so many things that are just not true and just wrong but Dave just laughs and goes along with it. Prager doesn't understand evolution, makes a lot of just inaccurate comments about what creates good and bad, makes rather ridiculous statements about Israel and is hypocritical on point after point but Dave just says "yes, and".
    1
  1081. ravissary79 What he said was not true. It doesn't matter what his philosophy is, what he said wasn't true.
    1
  1082. ravissary79 Why do you say I'm so desperate to drag it through the mud when you are keeping it alive yourself. You're a hypocrite.
    1
  1083. ravissary79 Also, who is Rubinstein?
    1
  1084. ravissary79 Oh, I get it. You're into "alternative facts". Got it. It was false but true. You're a fucking moron.
    1
  1085. ravissary79 If you know he made a false claim why do you keep arguing that he didn't?
    1
  1086. ravissary79 And his original claim was just wrong. It doesn't matter what his philosophy is when his claim was just not true.
    1
  1087. ravissary79 I didn't say I was putting on a cape. I look at how things actually are, not how someone wants them to be in their imagination.
    1
  1088. ravissary79 I don't care about his philosophy. He can believe whatever he wants--that doesn't mean what he says is true in the real world. Gay marriage exists, therefore it is not impossible.
    1
  1089. ravissary79 Sorry, they exist to fight gay rights and take away women's rights to control their own bodies. Even if they didn't help the anti-gay laws in Africa I would still not eat at Chik-fil-a just because they donate to FRC.
    1
  1090. ravissary79 The FRC IS a hate group. They exist just to fight gay rights. Pay attention.
    1
  1091. ravissary79 And the FRC is the group that did this so I'm not sure what your argument is.
    1
  1092. ravissary79 He admitted to it, you can find that online. It's not me just saying they did. The company is very open about their religious concerns. Because they have donated to these religious extremist groups I am not going to support them.
    1
  1093. Brian Hate crimes are political. That's the point of hate crimes--to get people to shut up or go away.
    1
  1094. Brian They are a political representative in that they are living openly in an often oppressive political environment. Just as burning crosses on the lawns of black people was terrorism and political so is this. It is all meant to keep some with whom you disagree quiet. This is political even if it makes you uncomfortable. It is meant to send a message to a whole community either "get out" or "shut up."
    1
  1095. Brian I am describing the terrorism of the right in trying to squash minorities they don't like. They are targeting people for political gain. They are targeting groups to scare them into either moving or shutting up. It's terrorism by your exact definition.
    1
  1096. Lady Catfish But they were also political because the aim was to get the people to either move or hide.
    1
  1097. Lady Catfish Normal average citizens who had the nerve to live their lives openly.
    1
  1098. Brian What are you talking about. Who is doing this?
    1
  1099. Aanthanur DC Except he keeps saying the right doesn't do it so I don't know that he even thinks it's equivalent. The thing with Prager--and lately with Dave is that they blow up every little thing the left does while ignoring what the right does at a time when the extreme edges of the right are feeling very empowered.
    1
  1100. jonnyhan And yet, just recently we had rightists boycotting Target because they let transgender people use the restrooms. We had rightists boycotting because companies didn't say "Merry Christmas" enough. We have 1 Million Moms calling for boycotts every time a company uses a gay couple in their advertising. You seem to have selective blindness.
    1
  1101. When someone says "some of my best friends are..." and then says "but they shouldn't have the same rights" they deserve to be mocked. And the gender of who you marry doesn't matter.
    1
  1102. Prager says something that is just not true and David says "right."
    1
  1103. "If gender doesn't matter in marriage then gender doesn't matter period". Says who?
    1
  1104. It's really hard for me to get past her idiocy on the Iraq War, but I'll try to keep an open mind.
    1
  1105. Jason Siks Great.  You rage and I'll just go on with my life.
    1
  1106. Jason Siks Really dude.  Calm down.
    1
  1107. Jason Siks Yeah, who the fuck cares about any of that. Get a grip, dude.
    1
  1108. Jason Siks Wow, you just wrote a whole bunch of stuff no one cares about and you tell me to get a grip?
    1
  1109. Jason Siks Lots of people down voted it because they didn't like her. And the fact that you don't like what the interview subject says doesn't make it a bad interview. Regressives have a right to say what they believe as much as anyone else.
    1
  1110. When you dislike a video it reflects more on Dave than on his guest. I know lots of people don't like her--but get a grip.
    1
  1111. As a gay man I could never vote for Trump because he has Ben Carson advising him on who to choose as a supreme court nominee.
    1
  1112. Thank you. Stopping speech is wrong, protesting it is good. Back when I was in college James Watt came to speak, we protested, went in and listened to him and then asked really tough questions in the Q&A section.
    1
  1113. This is great. Really interesting.
    1
  1114. His picks for his cabinet are pretty known.
    1
  1115. "Who in 2017 wants to be homophobic"? Um--Mike Pence.
    1
  1116. BUGZNTA So, you know all the people? And Obama's not a conservative. Poor white people voted for Trump because he said he would bring all those jobs back from Mexico, that he'd open the coal mines in Pennsylvania (that corporate interests had already closed) when none of those things can happen and he's actually making it easier for the wealthy to screw over poor people--both black and white. Shit doesn't stay the same--it gets worse.
    1
  1117. ***** And you're some kind of dialect expert?
    1
  1118. JimmyCougar I think it's funny that Trae talked about how liberals are dismissive because of his accent. The response to this video shows that conservatives are just as dismissive.
    1
  1119. I love him.
    1
  1120. Really great interview.
    1
  1121. What do you think he'll say?
    1
  1122. I find that libertarians, like Christians all seem to have different definitions of what it means.
    1
  1123. I think there is a huge threat from radical Islam--but we gay people shouldn't be fooled into sacrificing the rights we have gained because of fear of Muslims. Trump has completely surrounded himself with anti-gay politicians, pundits and preachers.
    1
  1124. Finally. I have never heard a good description of what GamerGate is. I still think a lot of them are nuts. But these feminist critics sound pretty nuts too.
    1
  1125. illkhan Except the initial reason was wrong. It was based on built up false information about WMDs that didn't exist.
    1
  1126. Maxime Laneville It was the earlier article I sent that you conveniently didn't look at. But, you're in the bag for Trump so finding out the truth still wouldn't convince you. He could shoot someone and you'd still vote for him. He could grab a woman's genitals on national television and you'd still vote for him.
    1
  1127. Maxime Laneville I realize that you're so in the bag that even presenting you with evidence won't matter so I'll just leave you with this. http://time.com/4433880/donald-trump-ties-to-russia/
    1
  1128. Maxime Laneville Also, the reason Trump doesn't want to go to war with Russia is that it's the only place he can still get loans.
    1
  1129. Maxime Laneville Here you go, it's even a conservative site. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/03/trump-asks-why-us-cant-use-nukes-msnbcs-joe-scarborough-reports.html
    1
  1130. Maxime Laneville Both of their motives are national security driven. Clinton's, however, are informed. Trumps big plan is to "get the generals to come up with a plan" the same generals we already have who Trump insults all the time. He also wonders why we can't just bomb them. That would be a great idea. Bomb countries with nuclear bombs. Welcome to the Apocalypse. If you really think Trump doesn't have corporate interests at heart you're a fool with no sense of even recent history and as far as imperialism--I don't think you even care about that.
    1
  1131. Maxime Laneville Clinton is far less likely to get into a war with Russia than Trump is to bomb the Middle East.
    1
  1132. Maxime Laneville Just keep it there.  Maybe that will keep you from posting stupid things.
    1
  1133. And you must realize that a headline in Russian media isn't actually evidence of something.
    1
  1134. Clinton has no interest in war with Russia. Trump wonders why we can't just nuke other countries. Maybe you should stay out of the realm of foreign policy.
    1
  1135. A lot of them are what Jaclyn Glenn is calling "Regressive Regressives".
    1
  1136. He is just incredibly stupid. He is not even close intellectually to your usual guests. He's just a really stupid conservative religious man. His statements that those media outlets are leftist is just idiotic and only a far right conservative would think so.
    1
  1137. Science is a leftist conspiracy? What a moron.
    1
  1138. gorman1 How much history have you actually studied? And I mean in places other than conspiracy websites. How much Russian history do you actually know? Because you seem pretty ignorant about all this stuff.
    1
  1139. Very cool.
    1
  1140. I do think that in his phrasing there are times Dave makes the right seems better than they are. The fact that there are these regressives on the Left doesn't make the Right better. The right is just as oppressive to free speech, the Right has it's own version of PC.
    1
  1141. I don't think things are perfect and don't need to change (I also don’t agree that Hillary says the government can solve everything) but I also don't think it's as bad as the Trump people are painting it. I don't think Libertarians would make the issues you sited better--they don't believe in raising taxes to fix things. The Green Party is just too "woo" for me.
    1
  1142. I wish it was true that bad ideas will lose out if you put the truth out.
    1
  1143. BobWidlefish All your silly posts have marked you as a btich. Welcome, you sanctimonious hypocrite.
    1
  1144. BobWidlefish But you're not. You're the best.
    1
  1145. BobWidlefish So, Sup Bruh is a btich?
    1
  1146. What's a btich?
    1
  1147. So you were triggered. Interesting.
    1
  1148. I think that one of the reasons there's not a strong bisexual voice in the LGBT community is that bisexuals don't come out as bisexual. They either refuse to be labeled or just don't say anything.
    1
  1149. I haven't watched this yet, I hope I can make it through. I just find Milo Yiannopoulos so absolutely depressing.
    1
  1150. David Karlsson She must be one of those really rare women who is intelligent, huh? Although, I would question the intelligence of a woman who is dating a gay man.
    1
  1151. David Karlsson That's all I need to hear. And based on your first post you shouldn't be going on about intelligence.
    1
  1152. David Karlsson What he does. Also, is a girl being smart unusual?
    1
  1153. David Karlsson Maybe when he dates a woman I will care.
    1
  1154. Alpaca Male And there we have it ShermKlump , this is the natural place your lazy comment was going to go.
    1
  1155. +ShermKlump If you're going by stereotypes--which you obviously are, it's Milo. If you're going by who is the most comfortable with their sexual orientation it's Dave.
    1
  1156. Very interesting. He's brilliant. I do hope he's wrong about Trump winning though.
    1
  1157. I don't know that you "decide" you're an atheist. I don't think you "decide" what you believe.
    1
  1158. What a brave young man.
    1
  1159. Wow. Here's a blast from the past. And he's still living in the past.
    1
  1160. illkhan I think you're generalizing there--which is amusing considering you're saying the same thing about atheists.
    1
  1161. dudeschmock You're talking about communism, but I'm still not sure you're correct. Especially if you actually believe in the Bible where god killed everyone on earth except for Noah's family.
    1
  1162. dudeschmock Neither do the millions of people who were killed in the name of religion--and who are still being killed in the name of religion like right now in Bangladesh and even here in the US.
    1
  1163. +Tonberry Queen If religion hadn't forced its way into laws and government it probably wouldn't be. But since atheism is about lack of belief in any gods and religion is organized belief in a god there will always be friction.
    1
  1164. +leftenant_turk That's a non-sequitur.
    1
  1165. texcc789us I think your argument is weak so you're trying to project your bullshit onto me. Won't work hon.
    1
  1166. texcc789us I don't feel attacked. You're projecting.
    1
  1167. texcc789us It seems to me that you're the one who is uptight. If you can't have people disagree with you and you fly off it's you who is offended, not me.
    1
  1168. +texcc789us So what? Do you think there aren't already thousands of outlets for religion? You do know that David has had other religious people on his show. It's a continuing conversation, it's not all compressed into any single video.
    1
  1169. I think that there are real issues that men's rights activists should certainly deal with, child custody, prison rape, circumcision etc... But usually what they do is just complain about feminists. They blame feminists for everything whether they are responsible or not (and usually they're not).
    1
  1170. You both know that Waterboy is fiction and sort of a comedy?
    1
  1171. He thinks this started with LBJ? He needs to learn some history.
    1
  1172. Where was his father?
    1
  1173. The idea that someone getting equal rights could lead to something in the future is not a reason for those rights to be denied.
    1
  1174. +Robert Rosello No. The stuff he says is right in line with religious zealots. He just pretends it's not because of animus.
    1
  1175. So do you get triggered just by the word "offended"?
    1
  1176. You really don't think she knew what the 3 branches of government are?
    1
  1177. True, I'm sure most of his acolytes don't know and don't care what the 3 branches of government are.
    1
  1178. How so?
    1
  1179. I grew up in Utah. I got religion pushed on me all the time, so yes, it is a problem and just like I can't pretend my experience is how it is for everyone neither should you. If you had watched the video at all he gave several instances so maybe the secret is to learn before you react.
    1
  1180. smbsuperfan12345 He's the President. He's the government. He's not all the government but he is the government.
    1
  1181. A difference without a distinction.
    1
  1182. Duck Speaker You keep posting your experiences as though they are a universal truth. You can't get butthurt when people point out that they are really pretty much meaningless.
    1
  1183. Kostas1601 And if you don't think the EPA is necessary check out Utah Valley where the pollution is ruining everything.
    1
  1184. Kostas1601 What do you think the government is paying for that you don't benefit from? Give me an example.
    1
  1185. Kostas1601 You think you shouldn't pay taxes. You've bought in to this delusional, utopian libertarian fantasy.
    1
  1186. Is it controversial to say that people shouldn't be murdered whether they are black or police?
    1
  1187. Darkstar Omega Show me a link that shows you've ever had a legitimate conversation.
    1
  1188. That's the kind of argument that really shows how much better you are than the regressives.
    1
  1189. She's lucky. Philando Castille had a permit and still got shot by the police.
    1
  1190. +Johnny Foreigner He breaks the interviews up and then shows the whole thing. It's how Sam always presents the shows.
    1
  1191. Adele and Stacy Dash is not a fair trade. How about Sarah Palin and Stacy Dash.
    1
  1192. ***** Is that an argument? Now you're just a child.
    1
  1193. ***** You called me an sjw for asking a question.  And now you're trying to weasel around that.
    1
  1194. ***** .
    1
  1195. Trump's supporters are pro free speech? Since when?
    1
  1196. Oooh--a lot of your usual fanboys aren't gonna like this one.
    1
  1197. This is where the weakness of Dave's style shows. He lets his guest get away with saying all kinds of really nonsensical things and says "yes, and..." There are major weaknesses in these conservative arguments but they go unchallenged and unremarked upon.
    1
  1198. It was a horrible year.
    1
  1199. Um, the popular vote was for Hillary, not Trump. Do a little research Dave.
    1
  1200. tblbaby So was Trump once.
    1
  1201. Doug Johnson The lefties hate it? Who says? It's the righties who just lost the popular vote but won the election--and not for the first time.
    1
  1202. Sobek2496 How PC of you.
    1
  1203. I don't think it's the "PC" crowd who have made Christmas so horrible. It's the people who take offense if you say "Holidays" instead of "Christmas". Who the fuck cares. The idea that Christians feel oppressed because you don't use the name of their god is just ridiculous.
    1
  1204. I'm sorry, the "you can move" argument is bullshit. If the business owner doesn't like the local ordinances they can move too.

  1205. A wedding cake for a gay wedding does not differ from a wedding cake for a straight wedding.
