> UK sent stuff to USSR Yes, but that wasn't part of the "lend lease" program. The quantity of materials sent from the UK to the USSR was significant. Just it was not part of the l…

> Well, First Amendment protects your rights to obscene speech too, so you just affirmed here the license terms are controlling, not First Amendment Nonsense. Feel free to point ou…

The senate was a compromise to give small rural states unequal voting power compared to the more populist states. The senate is explicitly created to give more power to minorities.…

Sure, but the context is America. It would have been helpful to make clear you are referring to other systems of slavery (for which i would still want to see data for). Again, the …

I think you're assuming that dichotomy. There was an observation that Trump supporters derided liberals for loving biden. The observation pointed out a false equivalence, "the othe…

Um, yes. Science is the best epistemology that humanity has discovered, best being as the most effective way to discover truth.

> I have yet to observe an activist practice objective thinking It would be a sampling bias fallacy to draw conclusions based on your lack of observations. Eg: "mountains, never se…

TACO tuesday?

It's worse than that. Demanding that the job creators and company growers be taxed or stay out. If a team is half H1Bs, it is not because there were Americans waiting for those job…

I think a bigger tax on small companies. I worked on one where the co-founder was an h1b. That company grew to employ about a thousand people. It's job creation.. that would not ha…

The first amendment protects speech from government repercussion. So aside from the threat of government repercussion, yeah, I also totally don't see how this is a first amendment …

You're seemingly equating "obscenity" with "political criticism". I'll note that "political criticism" is offensive when you don't agree with it. The first amendment is exactly for…

Indeed, USSR casualties (including civilians) were off the charts. USSR, then China, then Germany and then Indonesia. [0] 'Russian blood' part is something of an understatement. Th…

Untrue because 'very often' should instead be stated as 'sometimes'? Even if someone concedes "good point", it does not mean they frequently are debating in good faith. My view of …

Agree sad, but not because he was reaching across the intellectual divide. Kirk's debate responses/performances were very often bad faith. It seemed more performative than an actua…
