For balance something from the hero Chris Cuomo from CNN:

What did I read here?

@Leo Gura Thanks the tan suit is unprecedented unpresidential

@Robi Steel I can handle some Tucker Carlson but Fox might be too much Though I like this one from Fox provided by Trevor Noah though Hillary would in this case be on the side of Fox maybe:

Funny thing their destiny is bound to Germany. Ironically Germany has got what Hitler wanted. Germany leads Europe but reluctantly. https://www.economist.com/europe/2020/06/27/germany-is-doomed-to-lead-europe -
@Robi Steel I was in the past in allmystery german forum. I guess it's the only big general forum for years now. It's quite left leaning but that view gets more and more challenged but it's still too much. Later as my english got better I was like you more interested in the "real" liberal view also I wanted to know what the right wing is thinking. I feel like there are no "real" liberal forums out there. The right wing becomes boring after awhile. Here it's center left. I am ok with little bit utopia doesn't hurt always. It makes some good stories. I like science fiction and star trek.

Yes maybe

I don't really care to look it up for no reason at the moment. Maybe another time. It is like asking Jesus to look up what christianity is according to wikipedia. He wouldn't care I guess.

Well he just said his opinion. If you want arguments for it you can ask him. At least with wikipedia he is right. Wiki itself even gives the evidence. So it is a possibility that it is the case with dictionary.com. At the moment I am not interested to check it out but later on maybe I will do it. Or you try to prove that it's not the case like in wiki. Btw. it is not relevant for the discussion anyway imho.

It is not that important which political view somebody has but that he has the ability to switch perspectives and bring good arguments and can keep the emotions out. To be able to try to argue outcome independent unbiased and objectively as possible.

No I am trying to motivate to raise the level. Something like: Yes statistic is important Yes these numbers mean something Then you can talk about how to solve it -

You don't have to feal fear or hate to think that a religion (ideology) is problematic.

I wanted to make it diplomatic and said weak. Actually you didn't have any argument at all as far as I can see regarding the validity and the importance of the numbers. I wrote before in another thread that you don't use arguments. -
Epikur replied to Enlightenment's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
First of all you did not really challenge these numbers anyway. So it is unclear what your point is. -
@Robi Steel I agree with most of you said. So what is your plan? Does this forum have any value left for you? From which places are you going to get your inspiration from?

You mean you wish it to be personal. In real life almost everything is political. Sex and partnership is the most important thing in the life of most people. So it is probably very important. If too many people are not happy or angry that is not too good. Many wars were done just for this. Like in black lives matter a lot of men might not happy with the situation and might "break the contract" -

Yes with good arguments not with bad ones imho -

Yes be the hero like in die hard. The Uberfather. Could be a new superhero. There is that one guy could father so many wild animals like lions and so on. So it should be possible to find a way for people theoretically. -

Is this the answer to my question? -

Why do you think abortions are so bad? From a religious position or from secular ethic? -

Nice saying but the circumstances are important for how the law is used. A white guy and a black guy using the N-word makes a difference.
