Republicans Are Not Welcome!

by minimus in

the owner of the used apple store in derry new hampshire has put on his facebook that republicans are evil and they are not welcome in his store.

he has done tv interviews now saying that republicans simply should not try to come in and he can generally tell if someone is a republican.

it is interesting that a business owner can bar someone because of their political opinions but if a business owner conscientiously couldn’t make a cake for a gay couple,they are in legal jeopardy..

Another School Shooting: The Gun Violence/Mental Illness Debate Continues

by jp1692 in

in the aftermath of the valentine's day school shooting in florida, i have read quite a number of articles, blogs and posts about the event.

it is disturbing--and i think inexcusable--that many people take the opportunity to use horrible tragedies such as this to push their own particular agenda.. in particularly insensitive and tone-deaf tweet, conservative political commentator tomi lahren wrote: "can the left let the families grieve for even 24 hours before they push their anti-gun and anti-gunowner agenda?

my goodness.

Is it a Gun Issue or a Mental Illness Issue or Both?

we have had another shooting.

many are blaming trump and the republicans and the nra.. is it because of guns that there are so many massacres or could it be that these killers are mental?.

do you think guns should be removed from our society so that these atrocities never occur again?

Julian Assange speaks the truth again. He is our times Count of Mt. Christo!

@Kairos, my proposal is to encourage teachers to have guns (w proper training).

The best part about guns is how they make liberals flip out.

What Do You Think of The News Media?

i used to pretty much believe anything they would report.

now, though, i find myself questioning “journalists “, with the realization that much of what is said may be inaccurate or slanted..

hothabanero

I think it is less about trust and more about balance. I do not mind reading fake news like CNN and WAPO and will even believe some of the things they write, but I balance it out with other sources like rebel media, the_donald, breitbart (although they have kind of shit the bed) and so on. Being a moderate is all about striking a balance & being open to new ideas IMO.

Anyone watching Star Trek Discovery?

by Coded Logic in

so i've been watching the show and really enjoying it.

great to see a trek tv series finally get a reasonable budget.

beautiful costumes, sets, cinematography, action pieces, etc.. really my only complaints are how cg all the ships look and there's a fair bit of stiff dialog from time to time.. what do you guys think of the show?.

hothabanero

Im watching it. I didn't get the whole subplot with the geeky guy from the prison who had but-sex with the Klingon lady and then turned out to be Klingon himself??? like when did they make him into a human? That seems pretty silly. Also I don't get which Klingon he was supposed to be.

I am near the end of season 2, and it seems to get a bit SJW preachy with all the "all choices are the same" crap. If it was me, I would be all like: Lets just turn Tarran and barbecue the annoying tall alien!

It would be a pretty cool season 3 where they travel the galaxy and eat all the aliens lol.

A crisis of scientific reproducability

by Outahere in

https://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on-reproducibility-1.19970.

more than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.

i didn't know it was so widespread...but it's a big problem in biology/medicine..

hothabanero

@Whatshallcallmyself: Look at it this way: There are N things for man to discover about nature (like evolution, or newtons law, and so on). We have discovered some number of them, and so it stands to reason there are now less things to discover.

@steve2: just look at the references on the previous page. Gad Saad has a lot of material on how bad social sciences are (google him).

The Nunes memo has been released!!!!

the nunes memo has been released!!!!.

hothabanero

once more, liberals are shooting themselves in the foot. This time they submitted a memo so full of classified information it cannot be released, lol.

It is probably by design. They know they got nothing on the Nunes memo, so they make sure their memo cannot be released and then they can attempt to blame Trump.

Lots of research is today confirmed to be a scam. In my opinion, part of the reason is there are more researchers today, and less to discover (obviously). So they compete and compete and obviously they will slip up or make things up to get ahead.

Then there is social science, which should just be shut down, period!
