  1. By Dershowitz's logic, should the BRICS take preemptive action against the US?

  5. ​@jimmyjones8676 Exactly. These are partisan statements or fashion statements. These people know no history at all.

  6. @zenocrate4040  Well, if a person wants to publish, in any field, the Ivies are the ticket. Thank goodness for the University of Chicago, as well as U Michigan and Berkeley, which also open the door. The latter two are public, so it is not a $350k proposition, including living expenses and modest travel allowance for four years. What is MOST maddening is the fact that where you went to school has such an outsized effect on the rest of your life -- and it does, sadly.

  7. @MarkG-nl4oq  There is no problem with defending someone you know to be guilty. There is nothing illegal about it, as long as you do nothing illegal in defending him. You can't offer perjured testimony, or doctored evidence, etc. You can and should put the prosecution to the test. It's their job to prove guilt.

  10. You understand why, correct? Plagiarism is widespread.

  11. Liz Wolfe needs money. She lives in two hyperexpensive places.

  13. ​​ @MarkG-nl4oq  A person can distrust a lawyer who took on the clients Dershowitz has. Actually, I don't agree with OP, but it's not ad hom. It's also an acceptable standard. OP is entitled to distrust the lawyers who take such clients.

  14. @MarkG-nl4oq  Are you kidding? Absolutely everyone is entitled to judge a lawyer on whatever criteria they like, sound or not. A lot of people do not trust criminal defense lawyers who take clients accused of certain types of crimes. That may not always be fair, but it's not ad hom.

  16. Bizarre. The Soviets had outstanding physical science and mathematics education. Their engineering didn't match American, but math education surpassed it.

  17. Cashing in is the only thing. Winning is secondary; it usually does enhance cash haul, which is very important.

  19. There is a study of very old people who had mild-to-moderate COVID, and made full recoveries without hospitalization, before vaccination was available. It was reported in the New York Times. Of course someone out there wants to know.

  20. The US doesn't exist to take care of its people.

  21.  @MarkG-nl4oq  I think you don't know what it is, lol.

  22. @MarkG-nl4oq  Of course I believe in innocent until proven guilty. That does not mean every criminal defense lawyer has a duty to take on any and every defedant, OR that every member of the public must put mistrust aside when they see certain lawyers always taking certain types of cases (at least two where a wife or ex-wife ended up dead, one where young adolescent girls were trafficked, etc.).

  23. @MarkG-nl4oq  Yes you can. I'm an attorney. Who told you otherwise? Not all lawyers tell their clients that. They usually tell their clients the exact opposite: "tell me EVERYTHING, because I have to know what the prosecution could uncover."

  24.  @MarkG-nl4oq  You have a ton of misconceptions. Are these from movies?

  25. ​@gunnib7495 He brags about Operation Warp Speed and was vocal about taking the vaccines, even after he and his whole immediate family contracted COVID and recovered. He was against mandates.

  26. Yes. But she's wrong about Foucault. They teach a gross misrepresentation of Foucault. He was closely allied with Pierre Hadot and Pierre Vidal-Naquet. No way did Foucault think truth was nonsense. His last lectures were about truth tellers like Socrates.

  27.  @babyamyxo-o6c  Full agreement. It is a travesty that they are not more careful than strictly necessary, as a matter of principle.

  28. @MichaelWilliamsWMA  The US benefitted inordinately from the Nazis, who were given amnesty to serve in our weapons programs. The Soviet mathematics and sciences programs were essentially homegrown. There was no Soviet Operation Paperclip, etc. There couldn't be, after Barbarosa. Sputnik was, however, a surprise. It was not a tall order for Americans to match and exceed Soviet technology once they set their minds to it, though the Soviets were great, too. Just not in first place.

  29. A minimum wage summer job paid a full year of in-state tuition and fees to all the major state universities in 1978. The students who could pay their way were different people.

  30. Things are better for him. He struck me as exceptionally contemptuous a few times, of the "losers."

  34. A lot of people want to have firm evidence of safety. Simple. Many vaccines are good for you. They decrease all-cause mortality. Others are less so. Show us robust data on the mRNA vaccines.
