Comments by "whyamimrpink78" (@whyamimrpink78) on "What About Debating Ben Shapiro, Milo Or Crowder?" video.

  1. eon001, Ben is criticizing Kaepernick over the fact that he can approach the situation better. Many civil rights supporters in the past carried the flag saying that America is built on the idea of equality, and we should honor the country and flag by pushing for civil rights. Kaepernick is taking a piss on the flag which is him basically saying that the ideas of America is the problem as opposed to the practices.

  2. Again, I am not going to tell you where I work as you could stalk me. However, I am a physical chemist that does work in developing methods to study structures and dynamics of biological materials. I do experimental work using ultra fast spectroscopy. What more do you want? If you want more information here is a book related to my work https://www.amazon.com/Concepts-Methods-2D-Infrared-Spectroscopy/dp/110700005X

  3. GiantSandles, what Shapiro said is correct. Healthcare is a commodity. Someone has to produce it in order for it to exist. We can have a discussion on healthcare, but you have to realize that initial point. That is why Ben Shapiro brought up the idea of making healthcare a right is enslaving doctors. Someone has to provide. Just like when you have a trial by a jury of your peers. If you are called for jury duty and refuse you go to jail, because someone has to sit in the juror's box.

  4. Kyle's view on climate change is myopic. He feels that anyone who disagrees with him is a denier. Almost all of the right, including Steven Crowder, says that climate change is happening. They just feel that it is not a threat and they believe that government is not the source to take on this issue. That is debatable. I, as a scientist myself, disagree with Kyle's stance on climate change.
    4
  5. "  It's pretty easy to prove that there IS institutional racism" Ok, prove it. That is what Shapiro says. Point out the racists and the racist actions.
    3
  6. Aeroscience, I see nothing that shows he denies climate change. He is questioning the interpretation of the data and some of the data itself. But that does not deny climate change. Look up the word "deny" please.

  7. "nope, these were poor mostly BLACK neighborhood schools in the SAME city! " Again, being poor has nothing to do with it? Only race does? " They should have had the same amount of equipment and supplies and in good repair." In reality Title I schools do. However, when the students destroy the school that makes it a challenge. In my city we built a new school around 10 years ago. Mostly white kids but poor. They destroyed it to where a lot of money had to be invested to rebuild it. "And, again, you didn't debunk anything." I did, because to you everything is about race and not other variables. The best example was the college education one. You ignored degree GPA Recommendations Along with other factors. To you you simply had it down to 1. They earned a college degree (doesn't matter which one to you) 2. They have no job Engineers earn more than teachers. Is that racist?
    3
  8. IceXnk6, Ben sites his reasoning for that quote from the Brookings Institute. It is vague, and there is more to it than that, but it is true for the most part. You seem to disagree with Shapiro, what is wrong with what he says?
    3
  9. Most conservative say that climate change is happening. They just feel that it is not a threat, and that government is not the source to take on the issue. I support that stance as well and it is debatable.
    3
  10. It isn't a waste of time. If your position is correct and factual than you should have no problem bringing that to the debate. If not than maybe you are in the wrong.
    3
  11. Kyle is a major problem of the left. The left have many good ideas, however people like Kyle simply refuse to accept they may be wrong and won't listen to others. Ben Shapiro, with him going to colleges and having debates and discussions with people give the perception that the right is open to ideas and wants to listen to others. At that point it isn't about if they are right or wrong, they give the perception that they are concerned about the needs of the public. And that leads to victories.
    3
  12. Amy, ever thought his supporters don't clap because they are not trained seals?
    2
  13. Aeroscience, Shapiro does not deny climate change. If he does please point me to that video or quote.
    2
  14. CDM_Enigma, that comes down to society and culture. Some people view abortion as wrong, others don't. Issues like that are open for debate and both sides have strong, and weak arguments.
    2
  15. So Amy, I ask you again, please prove institutional racism exists. You have not done that as I, with minimal effort, debunked what you gave me. On Ben Shapiro being a bigot. His tween about Collins is true. No one cares besides the media if Collins is gay. The players don't care as players come and go. I have been around sports in the Division I and pro level. Collins is nto a hero. Also, in that article they make the claim that students who do well in college are leftists and go to grad school. There is truth that grad students lean left, but that does not mean they are smarter. To me, as a moderate in grad school that challenges myself, I see that as they can't get out of their comfort zone. Students who lean right graduate and take on the challenges of the market and society. So I find that article to be worthless. Shapiro has expanded his comment on healthcare. It is a commodity. That is a fact. No matter what you support in healthcare policy you have to realize that someone has to provide it. That makes it a commodity. If you can't realize that fact than you are not intelligent enough to discuss the issue of healthcare. Amy, you have to try harder than that.

  16. "My favorite "scientists who claim global warming don't have any solutions". Well the solution would've been to stop relying on fossil fuels for energy, but because of idiots like him, it's probably too fucking late and now that's only a minimizing the damage action." You need to read what scientists are saying. There is a disagreement on the issue. Climate Change is happening, but beyond that we do not know if it is a problem or what to really do. As for alternative energy, there is still no better source than fossil fuels at the industry level. How do you plan to run Los Alamos National Lab without consistent energy? Or do you not support scientific research?
    2
  17. So Amy, if you have a black person who has a college degree in corporate rec, with a 2.5 GPA, and is unemployed in favor of a white man with a degree in engineering and a 3.8 GPA, you call that racism? Because that is literally what your articles you posted are saying.
    2
  18. The Centrist, that is how people should act. That is inviting and people are more likely to support you in the end. Bill Clinton was a great president in that he was willing to listen to other people and have a discussion. Even though I disagreed with Clinton I respected him and overall had no problem with him as president. I know Shapiro is a commentator and not a president, but the same thing holds. Even if you disagree with him you have to respect that he is open for discussion.
    2
  19. " Let me tell you something, anecdotal" Well this is done. I debunk your articles with ease and you go to anecdotal. 'For example, wealthy parts of the same city had tons of brand new computers, sparkling furniture, equipment, etc...poor schools...ratty building, just a few computers, always broken down...less programs, etc...now THAT is institutional racism. " So income level is a race now? That is new to me.
    2
  20. CDM_Enigma, it goes both ways. Kyle distorted facts in this video when bringing up healthcare. He talks about the rankings which are arbitrary. Two professors wrote a book on it and said that all these healthcare rankings are arbitrary. They showed if you remove murder and car accidents the US is number 1 in life expectancy. Depending on how you weigh the data you can get various rankings, all of which are legit. The methods are arbitrary. Neither Ben or Steven lie. They say many factual things. It is up to you to challenge what they say and come up with your own. Do the same with Kyle. Do you think that Kyle understands healthcare better than two professors who study it for a living? Because those professors, based on what they have written, disagree with Kyle meaning there is an argument to be made.
    2
  21. "That only makes sense in some abstract thought experiment that has no relation to the real world, " I am sticking to the US. In the US people have a right to a trial by a jury of their peers. If you are called to jury duty and refuse you go to jail. Now compare that to healthcare. If you make healthcare a right than the government has to force doctors to work. It is also very similar to selective service and how in other countries you are forced to join the military. Now you may say healthcare is not a right but instead a service paid for by the government (like education). At that point you get into the discussion of lack of doctors and providers and quality going down in healthcare, or prices going up as with college tuition and the student loan program. So again, Shapiro's argument is legit.
    2
  22. Kyle is doing a disservice to the audience in not having a debate. On his healthcare example it is open for debate. Kyle talks about rankings when those rankings are arbitrary and can easily be challenged. Kyle does not want to challenge his firmly held, religious like belief on the issues which is why he won't debate.

  23. Sha Dow, on defense spending, since 1960 it has been dropping. It was around 10% of GDP, now it is around 3%. Meanwhile, federal government spending has been increasing. One reason why is because the federal government has been increasing in healthcare spending. You are getting what you want, less defense spending and more healthcare spending. You have been getting it for almost 60 years. There is a lot to the healthcare debate, but on that alone you should realize it is open for discussion. We are pushing for exactly what you want and still have problems.
    2
  24. Anandh, it does. I understand how scientists think and I understand scientific literature. Why is it that ultra leftists can never get scientists on their shows to discuss climate change but Steven Crowder can?
    2
  25. Mfdechami, I guess I wasn't clear. America was built on the idea of limited government and equality for people in the eyes of the law. Civil rights leaders in the past ran on that idea wavy the flag. They supported the ideas of the country, just not the actions. They showed support of the ideas by respecting the flag. Kaepernick, by kneeling, is not showing support for the ideas of the country. That is the argument and is a legit one. Do I agree? No. I feel that kneeling can show that they do not support the actions of a country, but still support the ideas. But that is Ben Shapiro's point, or one of them.

  26. beastacz, I agree, but to some it symbolizes something.
    1
  27. Neurofunke, I agree with you for the most part. I am just giving you Shapiro's perspective.
    1
  28. CDM_Enigma, there is an argument to be made that abortion is murder. He is not pushing for controlling the reproductive organs of women. There are arguments on both sides on abortion that are emotional. When women say "my body my choice", that involves feelings. As Shapiro said, he is concerned with what is inside the women's body.

  29. spearintheeye, I won't tell you where I study, too many creeps. However, I am researching developing methods in studying structures and dynamics of biological materials using ultra fast spectroscopy, particularly in the IR regime.

  30. "Simply look at the statistics. While marijuana use is similar in black and white communities, blacks are 3.73 times as likely to be arrested for possession of marijuana as whites. " Those are usually plea bargains to be charged with a lesser sentence. For example, you are caught stealing while in possession of marijuana, they may give you just the marijuana charge to prevent you from going to court and spending money on a judge and jury. This happens often. Also, a white guy smoking weed in his home and a black guy smoking weed while participating in gang activity is different. You have to look beyond race. This is why democrats lost, you have ran with identity politics too long.

  31. Amy, Shapiro debated Cenk and David Pakman. Shapiro has spoken in front of congress as well.

  32. FlightX101, on healthcare it is a 50/50 issue. If anything Kyle is on the extreme side as he wants to completely change our healthcare system instead of improve the system we have.
    1
  33. Kratos101, 40,000 people is 0.02% of the population. Those individuals are poor to begin with and there is a strong correlation with being poor and having bad health. That was brought up by a Harvard professor which to me immediately shows that the interpretation of that data can be challenged. In other countries people die due to shortcomings as well. To say that in other countries they do not face problems is either lying or being ignorant. I am not saying the US system is great, nor that other countries have an inferior system. But to ignore the shortcomings of other countries and to dig the bottom of the barrel to come up with something that influences only 0.02% of the population is a weak, and bias argument.
    1
  34. CDM_Enigma, there is a lot that contributes to life expectancy. Health habits, diet, culture, etc. Two professors showed that if you remove murder and car accidents, two variables not strongly connected to healthcare, the US is number 1 in life expectancy. In the book "Debunking Utopia" it is mentioned that other countries have healthier habits. For example, a lot of US citizens eat out. 45,000 people is 0.02% of the population. Those individuals are poor to begin with where there is a strong correlation with being poor and have poor health such as obesity and type II diabetes. So you can't say they die only due to lack of medical care. There are other factors as well. Also, 35,000 people die on the roads in car accidents in comparison. So do we ban driving to save those lives? Or do we accept the shortcomings of a system that has many advantages? "over 60,000,000 are currently uninsured " I agree that is a problem. But the bigger problem, in my opinion, is why does healthcare insurance equal healthcare in this country?
    1
  35. "So you're okay with 0.02% of the country dying every year because they're too poor to afford health insurance? " No. What I am saying is that you are looking at a very minute portion of the population. You have some things to consider such as 1. You can't say, with high certainty, that they only reason why they die is because of lack of access to healthcare. 2. Every system has shortcomings. In other countries people die because of them as well. No system is ideal. When you say 45,000 people I think, after accessing the entire situation and understanding that many of them most likely have poor health to begin, that's it? That is literally my reaction. Only 45,000? I see that as a success all things considered. You may call me a jerk, but that is the reality. "What if one of those 45,000 was your friend, your mother, your child?" This is where your argument falls apart. You have not logic or facts on your side so you try to be emotional. Going to the car accidents, what if you had a friend die because of a car accident? 35,000 die a year because of that. Will you support banning driving for the public? Why don't you care about that 35,000? Why do you support 35,000 dead people a year that can be avoided by simply banning driving? Ever consider that? "You do also realize single-payer healthcare would dramatically reduce the severity of these issues, right?" How? When you look at the numbers nothing indicates that single payer is number. Read this book for more information https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf Plus, you say "dramatically". 45,000 people is 0.02% of the population. That is not dramatic at all.

  36. MrJc9600, read this book https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf There is more to life expectancy than just healthcare.

  37. guy, he doesn't lie. He is selective in what he presents but that is not lying. If you are going to call it than than Kyle is lying as well.

  38. guyf321, Steven has said that man is playing a role in climate change. You should understand his position before you lie about him.

  39. Classical Socialist, in a free market I will offer that many food for $10 in which he will pay. Thus I walk away $10 richer and you walk away with nothing as you overpriced your product. Now extend that to a business I will be successful as I charge a price people can pay and I can profit from, and you overcharge so no one goes to your business. So thanks for you example, it works well.
    1
  40. Except that climate change is debatable. The issue that the right has is they feel it is not a threat and that government is not the source to take on the issue. They say it is happening, and that man plays a role. Steven has said that many times. But to say it is a threat is not strongly supported at all. And it is highly debatable if government should be involved, as with everything else.
    1
  41. JimmyKendrix, climate change is happening. That is not the debate. The debate is whether it is a threat, and what should government's role be in the issue of it is to have one.
    1
  42. Manny S, there is a debate on if taxation is theft. Look at the history of this country. There was never a federal individual income tax because the states were taxed. Local governments, in which the people can vote for, taxed individuals. But at the federal level you have no say in who represents 49 of the 50 states. You only have a say in your state. Thus you have representatives from 49 other stats (plus DC) that are taking your money and you have no say in if they should hold office. That is theft in some ways. It was the same idea that had the colonists break free from Great Britain. They were paying less taxes than the British, but they did not like the idea of someone, whom they had no say if they were in power, taking their money. On couches, Shapiro is saying we need to treat healthcare as a commodity as someone has to provide it. That is 100% true. Now we can discuss how healthcare should be ran. But you have to realize that someone has to provide it. If you fail to see that we can't have a discussion. on healthcare policies.

  43. Kronus 96, the more local government, the easier it is to control. I met both candidates for mayor in my city. I met our governor. I have not met the president. I can get involved in city council meetings and influence local laws. I can't at the federal level.
    1
  44. "Forcing them to save the lives of others is not slavery. " Yes it is. "Doctors make 80K at the least and they have the option to find another job. " And they will. Then what? "Why should doctors be allowed to send someone from hospital because they don't want to treat them? Why should it be any different from a police officer saying he doesn't want to enforce the law around blacks or whites?" Cops let people off all the time. How many people speed? A lot. How many cops let them go? A lot. That is just one of many examples one can give. Also, cops are locally ran and funded. And it doesn't take 10+ years of college to become a cop.
    1
  45. IceXnk6, teachers are government employees and they are restricted on the number of sick days they have. But besides that, if you make healthcare a right you have to force doctors to work. If not than you have to accept the reality that we will lack doctors and quality will drop. "A lot of doctors get into medicine because they want to help people. You don't go into all those years of education to become a doctor because you only care about treating patients under certain healthcare/political conditions." And they earn around $200,000 a year.
    1
  46. "You can't talk to your Representative or Senator? It's a bit of driving to get to them, but you can go to a meet and greet or a townhall." I can of mine, but not of other states. I tried to email Bernie Sanders, I couldn't as I do not live in Vermont. "You consider cops enslaved?" No, but I don't have a right to the police. N one does. Also they are ran locally. So that is a poor example when pushing for a federally ran healthcare system. " You think all our doctors will abandon medicine if they're forced to treat people they don't like? " Some will. "We could get new doctors from overseas. We could offer doctors from other countries a tax break, or cheap housing, or something like that to replace the doctors that left. " Which raises the price of healthcare making it more expensive than what we have now.
    1
  47. G Kaiser, show me a country of 100+ million people with universal healthcare that works and a strong economy. Your argument is weak at that point. Just because something does not exist does not me we should not pursue. There is no cure for AIDS, so I guess by your standards we should not work in finding one.
    1
  48. "Why do the lives of the people who go bankrupt or die because they can’t pay for care mean less to you than small government? " People die in other systems as well. You have this mindset that all we have to do is allow government to wave its magic wand and everything will be better. It isn't that easy. "Why would foreign doctors raise the cost of care in a Single-Payer system? I’m pretty sure we could snag a few Canadian doctors easily" Supply and demand. "If cops are found discriminating they lose their job or they get fined. Local or not, they’re forced to enforce the law for the sake of everyone." Different situation. A cop has to enforce the law the same on everyone. However, we are limited in cops as well. Someone just hit a car near my apartment. No one was caught. Why? The cops lack resources. Why don't we have a cop on every street corner to stop all crime? Why does crime still exist and many get away? Because we lack cops. Same thing applies to healthcare. Even with government ran healthcare we lack resources and people will still die.
    1
  49. "Supply and demand is an issue, that’s why I prefer Sen. Sanders bill to usher Medicare for all in over 4 years. Plenty of time to acquire new doctors and take care of the most pressing diseases before everyone is covered." No it isn't. It takes almost 10 years to become a doctor. And finding new cures for diseases take time as diseased evolve. Sanders' bill shows his complete lack of understanding of healthcare, science and economics. "People do die in every system. But not 45K a year" 45,000 is 0.02% of the country, that is minute. " We pay more for worse outcomes" We don't have worse outcomes, that is the point. If we did than I would be on your side, but nothing indicates our outcomes are worse. "t can in this case, as someone studying business, I know quite a bit about regulations that hurt small businesses." I study business as well.

  50. Kyle is a radical, and the radical left is dying which is good for the left overall. The radical left has led to Trump and republicans winning. Kyle is losing views on his show and with him living in a bubble he is dying. When he does democrats will win again. This has been going on for years in politics.
    1
  51. Tono Meztli, not to be rude but you are the problem. Steven Crowder has said, multiple times, that climate change is happening and that man is playing a role. He just feels it is not a threat nor that the government is the solution to the problem. You, and Kyle, present your opponent the wrong way because you can't debate him. Steven questions if climate change is a threat and feels that government is a problem and you end up calling him a denier. "American society is still debating whether climate change is true or not, " That is not true at all. The discussion is whether or not it is a threat and if government is the solution to the problem. Please catch up on the issues.
    1
  52. "Crowder has said many things about climate change, including that it's not happening, and/or that it's not man made." When? I would like to see that video. " His last claim was that it's happening, but that we don't really know how much it is man made, and that it is impossible to predict the outcome. " Which is true. " Which is verifiably wrong." No its not. Scientists don't know now much man is playing a role and if it is even bad. To me people that make claims that man is playing a dominant role and it is bad are either 1. Young earth theorist as they feel the climate only changes because of man but has never changed for over 4 billion years long before man was on earth 2. Deny evolution as they feel the ecosystem can't evolve during climate change when it has all throughout history "If he was certain and nuanced, he would debate someone like potholer54. " potholer54 is not a scientists, he is a journalist. He has no formal study on the issue of climate change. What he does is finds an easy target, such as a 14 year old girl (there is a video of him doing that) and googling counter points. Anyone can do that. potholer54 is pulling wool over people's eyes as he has a very limited understanding on the issue. "Instead he's only been inviting Patrick Moore several times to his show, labeling the video "true sciensts:...", while Patrick Moore is not a scientist at all," Patrick Moore has a PhD in ecology and forest biology and has several peer reviewed papers. potholer54 has zero peer reviewed papers. Why do you leftists give pothler54 so much credibility? "after claiming that just because scientists say something, it's not true, because of an argument by authority." Both sides use argument by authority. But again, why do you give potholer54 so much credibility over Patrick Moore?

  53. Exactly. On healthcare two professors wrote a book on the idea that those healthcare rankings are arbitrary. But apparently Kyle understands healthcare better than two professors who research the topic for a living.
    1
  54. Semper Skeptical, well said. Whether or not you agree with someone people should respect is someone is willing to challenge themselves. People call Shapiro stupid and that he lies, but at least he challenges himself. Why doesn't Kyle? This is also why I feel that the left is losing. People like Shapiro on the right are giving the perception that the right is open to new ideas by listening to people as opposed to just living in a bubble.
    1
  55. Kyle is making excuses. Healthcare is up for discussion and what Kyle is saying can easily be debunked. Kyle lives in a bubble.
