Random Politics & Religion #03

Do you think you, or anyone really is without bias or prejudice?

How do you know the sky is blue?

How can you claim to be somewhat less biased than others here then in the next breath blame one side for the majority of it?

Didn't we have a discussion earlier in this very incarnation of the thread about not blaming the whole group for the actions of some?

Please provide the data supporting the above.

So can a lot of 3rd grade teachers. You don't need a legendary scientist for that.

There's a difference between blaming an entire group for an offense and pointing ouch which one seems to cause the offense the most.


I literally put a disclaimer about how there was a lack of data and that it was based on observational judgments, and you still ask where the hard data is. I hate to pull the old reading comprehension card here....

Your perception is non-objective (as is mine). Your claims of observations are simply opinions.

Let's be honest and forthright:

You opine that left leaning cities and/or demographics are often at the hearts of these riots.

You believe that left leaning cities and/or demographics are often at the hearts of these riots.

You feel that left leaning cities and/or demographics are often at the hearts of these riots.

But you have no direct observation, personal or otherwise, that left leaning cities and/or demographics are often at the hearts of these riots.

Ok, you put your stock in that, the rest of us will be over here not patting down non-muslim 80 year old grandmothers at the airport security checkpoint.

That was hard.

Riots happen in cities which are populated by far more people than sparsely populated suburbs and rural areas? Who knew.

Hey, it's a start!
You've now provided a list of events, and the locations.
Now, you should be able to support that the cities listed are left leaning. And that it is statistically significant with relation to the total number of cities, so that it is actually meaningful to state left-leaning cities, rather than simply cities.

That's just the locations themselves; that doesn't even touch whether or not it is caused by indigenous vs transient population, or any other number of socioeconomic vs political factors

Hence correlation vs. causation... which I mentioned. Are you actually reading what I say or just nitpicking to make points that I already took into account?

You claimed left leaning cities and demographics were correlated with civil unrest when your link shows nothing nearly as specific.

I have to respond like this:

What's your point?

Why is a riot over a coach a wash?

Secretary of State, John Kerry has condemned Syrian rebels for bombing a hospital. Don't fret though. He is still going to continue funding and arming them.

"Hey guys, let's not bomb anymore civilians k? We don't want John Kerry condemning us again"

The U.S. blamed the Syrian government Thursday for a direct airstrike on an Aleppo hospital that killed more than a dozen doctors and patients.

Two of the eight doctors working at the Al Quds hospital, which is located in rebel-held Aleppo and specializes in treating children, were killed in Wednesday's air attack, the Doctors Without Borders medical charity reported.

"These strikes were conducted by the regime, solely by the regime," State Department spokesman John Kirby said. "The facts are still coming but every indication we have seen so far points to the regime."

The only overtly partisan incident listed would be Trump's. The rest you're just projecting onto.

Likening Ted Cruz to "Lucifer in the flesh" is deeply unfair to the Dark One, according to annoyed Satanists. After John Boehner made the comparison, adding that he had "never worked with a more miserable son of a ***," the Satanic Temple was quick to distance itself from Cruz, Raw Story reports. "Cruz's failures of reason, compassion, decency, and humanity are products of his Christian pandering, if not an actual Christian faith," a temple spokesman tells the Friendly Atheist blog. "It grows tedious when pedophile priests and loathsome politicians are conveniently dismissed as Satanic, even as they spew biblical verse and prostrate themselves before the cross, recruiting the Christian faithful. Satanists will have nothing to do with any of them."

Cruz is notoriously unpopular among his fellow Republicans, some of whom agreed that Boehner was doing Satan a disservice, Politico reports. "Maybe he gives Lucifer a bad name by comparing him to Ted Cruz," New York Rep. Peter King said. "Listen, what John Boehner was most concerned about was Ted Cruz perpetrated a fraud and a hoax when he brought about the shutdown of the government on some kind of a vague promise that he was gonna be able to take ObamaCare out of the budget or to end ObamaCare." The Oregonian reports that in a development that may anger Satanists further, the domain Lucifer2016.com now redirects to Cruz's new CruzCarly.com website.

There are plenty of cities with large populations that are right-leaning. Nearly every single one of those events has to do with a city or a group that is characterisically left-leaning. No, they're not "overtly partisan" events, but it takes an act of willful denial to not see that there is a, *cough*, CORRELATION. The League of Trying Too Hard to Argue Over Nothing can be adjourned, you've had a nice go.

The ignorance you are touting is practically nauseating.
