  1. Cenk again fails to distinguish between the conclusion a philosopher is forced to arrive at by rigorous logic and an his opinion. Philosophers are paid to report their conclusions, not state their opinions. The concepts are kept wide apart for the sake of objectivity. If Cenk has any objections to Sam's conclusions he should formulate a solid counter argument, not shame him for arriving there.

  2. I'm sure women are much more likely to jump into some guy's car if it's a Lambo. I'm also sure men are much more likely to jump into some guy's car if it's a Lambo. People generally likes riding in a Lambo.

  4. 4 americans are killed in the Bengazi attacks. Conservatives: WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION! WHERE WAS THE SECURITY? PEOPLE NEEDS TO BE FIRED! DRONES LAUNCHED! THEY WILL PAY FOR THIS! NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER FORGET! 20 american school children are killed in Sandy Hook Elementary School. Conservatives: Meh. Shit happens. People do bad things. Please don't take our guns.

  5. Why did I see 75 planes spraying white stuff into the sky? Because 75 planes crossed the sky over your path to work relatively recently. Who pays for this and why is it happening? People who find it convenient and affordable to travel by air tend to pay to do so. Is something being exterminated here? Yes, long and tedious journeys. Is that something me? If you consider yourself a long and tedious journey. Is this why Honey Bees die off real quick? I'm not sure, but I suspect it contributes to some extent e.g. by adding CO2 to the atmosphere. Why are some days normal with no planes spraying and others look like this? Are you referring to the days they are obscured by clouds? Who's responsible? The pilot I believe. What effect will this have on our health and our children's future? The CO2 emissions will probably lead to climate change. I wouldn't begin to speculate on how this would influence your children's lives or health though. On the positive side it will grant your children the opportunity to visit more parts of the world.

  6. I think Sam Harris is correct that US ultimately has no intention of killing civilians. However in reality the situation isn't this simple. US do not possess perfect weapons and they are aware of this. When US go to war, they know that it will cost civilian lives, yet they proceed because they prioritize their goals. Sometimes they know that bombing an important target is likely to also kill civilians, yet they proceed because they believe eliminating the target is more important than a few civilian lives. So yes, US knowingly kills civilians, not as part of their goal, in fact they rather not, but as a conscious byproduct of their decisions.

  17. I just read an article emphasising on the distinction between good and bad regulation. One example was a comparison between how USA and Scandinavia regulated bleeching in the pulp paper industry. In USA they implemented an immediate fine, forcing the entire industry to panic and implement the best technology available at the time. In Scandinavia they warned the industry in advance of an upcoming small fine that would be increased each year for a decade. Instead of implementing the first technology at hand, they started preparing and innovating, gaining competitive advantages over the US competitors. Good regulation rewards innovation and punishes stagnation.

  28. Conservatives don't want sane. They want a dominant father figure that makes them feel safe.

  29. YoungerBrother Wakeup Of course everyone's life is most dear to them, that's just nature. I meant in the view of the law, you know that thing they are supposed to uphold. Cops aren't excepted from the law to exercise their ego.

  30. ***** and Kjass Aylo I'm not trying to argue from authority, I'm putting his statement within the context of his profession. In other words: you can cease the character assassination and instead get busy countering his arguments.

  42. ***** True, however: "the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"  - Treaty of tripoli, 1797, submitted by John Adams, approved by all members of the U.S. Senate.

  44. Killing their families is a bad idea because they believe their families are dying as part of Jihad and therefore goes to paradise. What we need to do is brutally rape their families indiscriminately: elders, toddlers, all of them. Then there will be peace. - Trump Supporter

  45. ***** A later article on the same website as Ana is referring to says: "estimates range from 300 to 3,000, proponents of the larger number citing stories of a mass grave" http://sfbayview.com/2014/07/survivors-of-black-wall-street-race-riot-still-havent-received-any-reparations/

  49. The article Ana is referring to says: "The night’s carnage left some 3,000 African Americans dead" "We estimate 1,500 to 3,000 people were killed" "Experts now estimate that at least 3,000 died" http://sfbayview.com/2011/02/what-happened-to-black-wall-street-on-june-1-1921/ A later article on the same website says: "estimates range from 300 to 3,000, proponents of the larger number citing stories of a mass grave" http://sfbayview.com/2014/07/survivors-of-black-wall-street-race-riot-still-havent-received-any-reparations/ So the number "3,000 dead" seem to be estimated based on stories of a mass grave.

  50. billy bob No, that isn't even possible to infer from my comment no matter how you stretch it. My point was that the level of care they grant a tragedy has little to do with actual human death or suffering, but how much it can be exploited in favor of their political agenda.
