@ThomasSowell Not sure, in spite of his notoriety and diplomas on the wall, this guy is in a position to talk ... (even though he is [inadvertently] correct in this case).
@TheFIREorg Yes, she should be allowed her rights. With that said, she appears to be an absolute horror show and an embarrassment to academia in general and IU in particular.
@qcomplex5@JohnCleese BS. A society has laws which reflect its culture. This does not mean nobody breaks the laws or acts in a way contrary to cultural norms. Clearly, at present, the west's culture is light years ahead of Islamic cultures.
@qcomplex5@JohnCleese Try distinguishing between what a culture advocates as a norm and what aberrationally happens within a society of a given culture. You are conflating what happens with what is accepted and often advocated.
@WTC59@VDHanson You are correct in terms of the goal of actual scientists, but fauci and other high profile and powerful people at one time or another confidently promised immunity via vaccine.
@ScottHarnett_@BCLegalScholar@CollinRugg You are correct! From grok: "Overall accident rates between high-performance singles and light twins are often comparable, but twins' complexity leads to worse outcomes when issues arise, challenging the common "two engines are safer" assumption."
@BasedGuitars@ericweinstein There is no concept of hate speech in US law (due to the constitution). Hate crimes, yes. The civil rights act did not repeal the 1st amendment. There have been unconstitutional laws enacted attempting to abridge the rights, but they are struck down when challenged.
@ScottHarnett_@BCLegalScholar@CollinRugg Honestly, if I couldn't afford at least two engines, I wouldn't buy a plane. Even though engine issues might be rare, when they do occur it's not like coasting to the side of the road in a car ...
@itsolelehmann Unfortunate in the few cases n which it was the only copy of a book, but does anyone actually know how many were of this variety? Possibly vanishingly close to zero ...
