@MAGALieTracker I suppose Congress could pass a law declaring that undocumented aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Seems that would complicate things for ICE, though.

@kalmantibs @mariana057 On my first foray into a Starbucks, decades ago, I asked for a medium coffee, black. I was required to use the Italian word for large in order to receive my medium sized coffee, and so l have never been back.

@Madden9007 @IanCopeland5 In the last 40 years there have been over 1000 clinical trials of aspirin. No one expects to get rich off of generic aspirin. The trials were done because there was evidence of benefit, and a wish to improve human health, not for profit.

@Suzierizzo1 Is she with the dude who stole the motorized cart from the Publix?

@FFRF @hemantmehta Only 2.5 Commandments have made their way into our laws. It’s illegal to kill and steal, and sometimes to lie. Having false gods, taking Lord’s name in vain, working on the sabbath, dissing your parents and adultery all legal. And you can covet all you want.

@Franklin_Graham You will find only 2.5 Commandments making their way into our laws. Illegal to kill and steal, and sometimes to lie.

@RpsAgainstTrump Why does Iran only threaten to kill attractive women?

[John Haley @ScarecrowMD]

@saintscrusaders @AnthonyMEmerson The ratio suggests otherwise!

@billlycakes @AnthonyMEmerson Protestants exploited Catholic labor in order to build New England.

@atrupar I have never heard a cogent argument on why income from tips should be treated differently from W-2 wages.

@ThoughtCrimes80 @roryfoley416 @pantsoptionalTV @chad_lanyon If they don’t care about my answer, why ask? What if I say yes and they don’t believe me? Then what happens?

[John Haley @ScarecrowMD]

@atrupar Highly trained and courageousgeous people , using advanced equipment designed and produced by people using human hands and brains,are what affected this rescue. God had nothing to do with this!

[John Haley @ScarecrowMD]

@iamAtheistGirl Euthyphro already lost this argument. If something is good because a god says so, then any obviously vile thing (like killing all Midianite men, stealing all their goods, and placing their virgin women in sexual slavery) can be morally good.

@nobleisawinner Seems unfair to billions who had never heard of the dude!

@JackSlaterPT @Askwhyisit @darwintojesus This is a prominent question in philosophy without a clear consensus. Being unable to answer it doesn’t bother me, as it proves useful and its original doesn’t impact its use.

[John Haley @ScarecrowMD]

@JackSlaterPT @Askwhyisit @darwintojesus Truth and untruth existed. Logic is a codified way of exploring that.

[John Haley @ScarecrowMD]

@JackSlaterPT @Askwhyisit @darwintojesus It has been arrived at by humans through reason. I don’t know if it was contrived, or sitting there to be uncovered. This is deeper philosophy than I’ve felt the need to ponder, given its usefulness .

[John Haley @ScarecrowMD]

@JackSlaterPT @Askwhyisit @darwintojesus Again, arguing against contradictions has nothing to do with not believing in gods. Contradictions make it hard to know and understand, and difficult to operate. If your God says to kill and not to kill, I cannot know what he wants me to do.
