There was no need for all those examples, hell I didn't even read them, since you obviously didn't read my post either. I said I didn't want to get into the semantic difference between killing and murder because I know they are different, that's why at the end of the paragraph I reduced it to 'ending a life'.
Quantact Wrote:It's not a fact. I am not for the stuff that the Democrats are doing, but saying that the "right" way to fund their policy is to cut the military spending DURING A WAR is just fruity. There is a whole heap of crap the government spends on, and often they just choose to increase taxes. I don't know why you focused on the military of all things.
Yes it is a fact.. If you don't spend mone on one place you can spend it somewhere else, how can you deny that simple fact? Obviously I picked the military 'cus the US has, even relative to the number of inhabitants the biggest military spending in the world.
Quantact Wrote:Just because oil companies pay campaign contributions and taxes doesn't mean that they are somehow controlled by the government. There are other huge and malicious entities, especially the tobacco companies, which unlike the oil companies serve literally no purpose. Private industry =/= government.
I was hoping I didn't have to write this all down for you, but since you're so keen on shooting down every sentence I write, I guess I have no choice. The government can tax cars. More polluting/nature unfriendly cars=higher taxes. Discourages use of hummers ETC=>less oil use in cars. I'm 100% sure you could've figured this out on your own since you're clearly intelligent, yet you make me type this out...

He is the greatest scientist in history, I think saying he was incapable of doing such stuff is a bit weak. Einstein's teacher told his parents taht Einstein was a retard. Common sense to me is different than what common sense is to you. The difference is, I refuse to accept things as common sense unless there's a hell of a lot of logic and reasoning behind it, and many people don't bother going that far. They just go to people with similar thinking and it's true because they collectively believe it, not because there's any real truth to it.
I have a high IQ and I was bored all the way through elementery-middle-highschool too, doing things that were not suited to my persona, teachers wanted to hold me back grades, the works. But that doesn't change the fact that I flunked several classes, lol. To the system not getting ur grade=flunking, they don't care if you're bored. Hey, you got him into this, not me. =P
Believing something just because everyone else does is retarded. Same goes for doing something for said reason.
