This basically describes what it's like to argue with communists, or people who believe in flat earth, or believe in intelligent design, or who believe that the Moon landings were faked, or those sorts of nonsense things. Their beliefs are not evidence based, so any evidence based argument you make against them, they will never accept.

"All we can do is appeal to scientific values -- the value of understanding the world, the value of evidence, the value of logical consistency... If someone doesn't value evidence, what evidence are you going to provide to prove that they should value it? If someone doesn't value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic?"

@G0rdo96 @XFreeze The movie was based on a real person, but in the real event the gunpowder didn't blow. https://t.co/ag6RcY1va3

This is part of why mass foreign migration is not good for America.

[Kim "Katie" USA @KimKatieUSA]

Mexican fans booed the US flag during the World Cup opening ceremonies, yet they are dying to come here illegally and fight like hell to not be shipped back home.

@_sn_n That's unfortunate that you are so tragically poor in such a wealthy country.

Apply for food stamps or learn new skills to get a better job.

But you're probably just lying.

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

@trad_west_ I'm an atheist and that's definitely not the way I feel.

The mistake you're making is thinking that atheists are a cohesive group like a religion, but it's instead a word for people who *don't* have a religion.

Abolish the minimum wage, it's a barrier for entry into the workforce.

Wages at McDonald's should be a function of what they need to pay to compete with what Burger King pays, and so on.

[Handre @Handre]

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely.

The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience.

Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

@BlueBoxDave What has Michelle Obama done for them to earn this administration's defense?

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

@Inevitablewest The far-left hates seeing crowds of majority White people celebrating in public.

They assume based on that that it must be "racist" somehow, even though that's almost never the case.

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

@weatherchannel You were wrong.

You are lying trash because you have a twisted political agenda.

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

The far-left hates America and they will completely make things up if they can't find a legitimate critique.

"Mosquitoes" is about all they could think of and all the major news outlets ran with the same talking points to make the event sound like it was going to be a disaster, but it was an amazing success.

[Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 @pmarca]

Absolutely none of this happened.

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

You should use as much plastic as you want, but to protect life on Earth make sire to put it in the trash and that that trash makes it to a landfill, recycling facility, or incinerator.

Do not litter. In the US we are taught this religiously from childhood. Obviously in Japan as well. But apparently not in Pakistan.

🇵🇰パキスタンの川

日本人がレジ袋に３円とか５円払ったり、プラゴミを仕分けしたって、海は世界中繋がっているのだから、基本的なゴミ処理が出来ない国をどうにかしないと、もの凄く無駄な感じ。

[Bo French @bofrench]

The Biden administration let in at least 20 million illegal aliens. Almost all of these people are still here, living off the taxpayer. They are stealing our money.

I don’t just want the “worst of the worst” deported. I want them all deported.

@AutismCapital Don't make plans for the future and the future will not be fruitful.

@Sarahhuniverse I had the comments turned off for pointing this out to others:

@Sarahhuniverse This has nothing to do with snakes.

The Banna tribe stilts are a cultural symbol and a rite of passage for young men in Ethiopia.

@hasanthehun You missed the point that wealth is a *good* thing.

Poverty is what's bad.

@bernsteind @tricrobotics Wouldn't the Sun do a better job of this during the day and for free?

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

@Rainmaker1973 Garbage engagement post.

That's definitely not why they are using stilts.

Also, falling from this height and being injured is far more likely than getting bit by a venomous snake.

[Town Square Man ☕️ @TownSquareMan]

@SenWarren We tax spending and income, not wealth.

GFY commie!

Wealth is a good thing. Other people's wealth doesn't hurt anything other than your jealous feelings.

@neiltyson I don't care so much whether they are scientific, I care about how they are going to treat me.

I'm an atheist, but I'd rather the aliens worship humans, or take as sacred other sentient beings in general, than be purely scientific.
