  3. blame the republicans that have been saying on TV that we have "open borders" for the last several years for the perception by southern migrants that we have open borders.

  7.  @nevermorebouquet3681  How many more? And why don't you have that information readily available? Could it be because you don't really care and you're just making disingenuous comparisons?

  8.  @nevermorebouquet3681  It's estimated 363,939 - 387,072 civilians died in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those wars were started by the REPUBLICANS with no exit strategy. On top of the LIES they used to justify the war. Assuming your numbers are correct then 400 or 1600 isn't even a drop in the bucket. But go ahead and keep acting like both political parties are exactly the same.. The truth is almost 400k civilians died because Republicans lied.

  9. Sam Harris is wrong about BLM but I think he made some good points during that debate that Ezra dodged. Specifically about how easy and uncontroversial it is to talk about how Europeans almost exclusively have Neatherthal DNA in their genetic code and how that same discussion would be almost impossible in the current political climate if they found it exclusively in African DNA. The scientists wouldn't even dare publish it. Which is sad.

  16.  @johnedwards1968  Sam's argument isn't that political correctness has run amuck in society as a whole he specifically is critical about how it's gone too far on the Left in some situations. He aligns his own political identity as being on the Left so this is a valid frustration for him and others. It's true that it was merely a thought experiment and sometimes Sam has gotten caught up in trying to be too anti-policially correct so instead lets look at whats happening to me here in this thread. I start my statement with saying that Sam was wrong about BLM and then went on to my example of Ezra dodging Sam's point. About 20mins later I'm being told "You clearly do not understand the fundamental flaw with Sam Harris. Go away until you do." which is a complete non-arugment and its just an attack. I don't care at all but this serves to prove Sam right in his criticism of the pervasive cancel culture of the Left. Btw, you don't think what we did to Al Franken was too far? We lost a Senator because of a stupid picture he took a long time ago all the while the Right protects their people no matter what they do. Principle is great until you don't have the votes to pass the legislation that is going to matter to normal people.

  17. @nevermore bouquet "biDeN uSed tHe miLiTaRy tOo!" is not an argument that both parties are exactly the same. Wtf is wrong with you?

  18.  @FKOTN  You don't have command of enough of the basic facts to have this discussion in good faith. Trump made record military arms deals with the Saudi's so if you care about Yemen you should care that Trump was arming Saudi Arabia. Obama inherited two wars from the Republicans and whoever comes after Biden will be the first President in decades to not inherit a war because Biden a Democrat pulled us out of Afghanistan at great political cost to himself. Something Trump was too chicken to do.

  19.  @Edgingwithaliens  this is 100% retaliation because of his comedy not his politics. He doesn't give T people special off-limits treatment and that infuriates them for some reason.

  24.  @BenedictMHolland  You're right. People who can't afford a dentist likely don't have 50k in debt for anything. That just makes it all the more bitter. It would be better to start including student loan debt in bankruptcies and make college more accessible for everyone instead of just forgiving debt this one time for people who mostly will just redirect that monthly payment to a new debt like a new car or some other expenses.. Real poor people out there feel completely left out of this whole process and it doesn't help grow the tent. It's a poison pill

  25. give 50k to all americans then. Why should college graduates get a free 50k from people working jobs that don't even earn that much in a year?

  26.  @strongbone9471  Yes, this thead is beginning to serve as an example of how Sam Harris is right about the pervasive cancel culture of the Left. How does that make you feel? Me personally I think it's kind of funny. I guess that's because I lost hope in humanity long ago.

  29.  @FKOTN  Let me show you where you are confused and hilariously wrong. The "peace deal" was broken by the Taliban when Trump was still the President and he did nothing about it. You need to actually take a few moments and learn what the deal was comprised of and how quickly the Taliban broke their end of the agreement. Also, when you learn what was "supposed" to happen when Trump was still in charge and what never happened when Trump was still in charge then you can start understanding what really happened in Afghanistan and why the government we propped up fell so fast. This was strike two for you bud.. One more bad faith disingenuous argument from you and you're out.

  30.  @Edgingwithaliens  I'm from a left position too and I believe this is all retaliation for his comedy concerning T people. That's what put him in the crosshairs in the first place. But most people didn't care and most people don't consider his comedy attacks against any particular group over another OR they are getting fed up with the sensitivity and constant outrage from the T community. I don't know which but whatever it is people still support Chappelle so they will continually put him back into the headlines feigning outrage against Chappelle until they get the result they believe is deserved.

  33.  @strongbone9471  i disagree. I think the people who listen to them are different and if they are the same then its through different phases of their lives or something. I don't see what is so bad about sam harris to be honest. Because he criticizes Muslims? Like, that's not hard to do when you think about.

  34.  @cjohnson3836  What I find funny about JP and the alt right kids that follow him is that most of them don't even realize he is Canadian and the whole mandatory pronoun issue that made him famous was occurring on a Canadian university Campus but the Alt-right portrayed it as an American 1st Amendment issue. lmao.. wow they all got suckered

  37. is Dave Chappelle considered a grumpy old man because he doesn't give T people special treatment? Meaning, he makes jokes about them like he does everyone else? T issues are a poison pill for the Left. I say that as a lefty - this is really putting off normal people... You are no more special than anyone else.

  48.  @firstlast9916  Liberals don't want an alternative to capitalism. Liberals are not communists just because you declare it to be so..

  55. With this war in Ukraine I've seen on the news they don't allow men of "fighting age" to flee, but women whether or not they are accompanied by children are encouraged to flee. I think it's an interesting sidenote that something so blatantly sexist is completely ignored by everyone. The notion that men are just expected to go fight and die is so universally accepted even the most progressive media outlets don't think it's even a worthy discussion to have.

  58.  @sargonsblackgrandfather2072  When you say "end the illegal occupation" what you really mean is Israel as a State needs to be disbanded and returned to the Palestinians? Why should they do that? Just because? These half-thought out plans is exactly why nothing is getting done.

  59. ​ @sargonsblackgrandfather2072  Laws from the international community? Did you know the UN comprises mostly non-democratic nations? Why should actual democracies follow what the UN wants? In the past the UN wanted to pass a law that would make it illegal to criticise religion. Guess which group of the UN was pushing for this - the Muslim bloc. The same people who murdered journalists for publishing a cartoon depicting their prophet Mohammad.

  60.  @sargonsblackgrandfather2072  If your goal is equal rights for everyone, it's important to consider that such Rights aren't typically upheld in Arab Muslim states. Therefore, having Arab Muslims control everything from the river to the sea would be contradictory to anyone who wants equal rights for all. The only State in that region that actually practices democracy and has a free press is Israel.

  63.  @nevermorebouquet3681  Palestine never existed as a State or County. It's a region that used to belong to Ottomans and before that to Egpyt. Did you know that Ottomans lost that territory because they fought on Germanys side in WW1 and lost?

  64.  @nevermorebouquet3681  So you think that everyone who is not a native American doesn't have a right to live in America today? You have a very toxic form of Nationalism where you believe only those with ethnic origins to a particular piece of land has a Right to live there. But even with this jews have ALWAYS lived in that region. In 1929 long before the State of Israel was founded the Palestinians destroyed a historic jewish neighborhood in Gaza. What about their rights? What about the rights of the minority?

  65.  @editor2766  During WWI, British concerns about the Bolshevik revolution jeopardizing Russia's commitment to the war led to the exploitation of Zionism. Britain, perceiving a strong Jewish influence on the Bolsheviks in Russia, made a commitment to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine. This strategic move aimed to retain Russia's involvement in WWI, preventing the newly formed Bolshevik government from withdrawing from the war. Before these events, the Ottoman Empire governed this region called Palestine. During WWI, the Ottomans, allied with Germany, prompted Britain to send forces to safeguard the Suez Canal because of the close proximity, vital for their connection to the Indian Empire. This led to Britain taking control of the region, which was part of the Ottoman Empire

  72.  @lividsunshine8968  I don't like musk either, he is a con artist vaporware salesman. The fact that we've given him millions in government subsidies is criminal IMO. Poor people and most people for that matter are not looking at it in some grand strategy that you are - what they see is their taxes going to help already privileged college kids that don't share the kinds of struggles they do. Aka, waiting for their teeth to rot out so they can get dentures just to have the self-confidence to smile again... Biden would be better off using this time to make education more accessible for everyone instead of forgiving debt to people who in most circumstances are doing alright for themselves - regardless of their debts. Complaining about college debt is the epitome of the "First World Problems" meme. Real poor people, and I mean REAL poor people look at this as a handout for the privileged in our country. The disconnect between the truly impoverished and those that "think" they are poor is really staggering in this country.

  73.  @BenedictMHolland  Maybe it would be nice but it seems to me Presidents only get a very small number of key items/agenda through during their term and I feel like there is just so many other things that should come before forgiving student loan debt. People are dying

  74. Sam Harris as a human is fallible and won't always get it right, but his criticisms towards Islam are spot on. The only countries on this planet that will execute you under their law for being homosexual are all Muslim countries. Btw before you say I'm racist or something I am pro-Palestine and I think Israel needs to kick rocks. Religion is poison.

  78.  @null6955  You have to understand the history in America to understand the controversy in that thought experiment. Researchers researching the human genetic code shouldn't intentionally hide or not publish their findings because society finds it offensive and as far as such research being dangerous well.. I don't believe any of that research is true as far as eugenics go so publish it all they want it doesn't matter because IQ is not a true measurement of intelligence anyway.

  82.  @mostHumblePersonAlive  No I just think that Sam Harris actually made some good points that Ezra dodged during their debate. And for merely saying that even though I conceded that Sam is wrong about BLM I am still attacked and called an idiot "Sam Harris Stan." This kind of attitude does not help the Left but instead only serves to reinforce the pervasive cancel culture that is eating itself from within and some of the attitudes displayed here by people like Strong Bone and TFarr serve as living examples.

  85.  @FKOTN  Has Biden made new arms deals with Saudi Arabia? I don't think so. Trump was even given an opportunity to pull out of any deals we had with Saudi Arabia when they killed one of our journalists in Turkey. But instead he actively protected the Prince of Saudi Arabia. Trump negotiated with the Taliban without Afghanistan at the table. He knew he was selling out our allies and so did all of Afghanistan and THAT betrayal is why the country fell to the Taliban so swiftly. Biden pushed the date back in order to evacuate as many people as possible. That part is pretty simple he said it a million times.

  86.  @FKOTN  So what you are saying is that Trump gets all the credit for ending the war but Biden gets all the blame for how it ended? Come back when you are ready to be serious. :D

  87. this kind of debt forgiveness is a poison pill.

Those are just two random things that I could think of and certainly there are thousands of more things that you just haven't thought through very well. We've created government to be a tool to serve us, if its not working right then we need to fix it not just throw it away because there is no viable alternative except even worse forms of government.
