@simonschreibt I take it that “anyoung” is Korean? In that case it should be “annyeong.”

@louiseEdaba @DrLauraGrimes @piper4missouri Straw man argument. Prager U is literally fascist and good parents care about that sort of thing.

@twannl @FloWritesCode “Repeat themselves more than once” is also a misleading phrase. It implies a given value should be able to appear twice: once as the original, and once as a repeat.

@0x6ixty @FrancisSuarez “Run” and “run” are not homonyms; run is a polysemous word.

@NathanD_17 @ChrisMijares7 @sophiegreenleaf More public drug use is correlated with more crime. There’s not the slightest question about that. Whether it’s correlated with one particular type of crime is not a compelling issue. We’re back at square one. Have a good day.

@NathanD_17 @ChrisMijares7 @sophiegreenleaf To decode your last sentence: Less frequent crime isn’t preferable to more frequent crime.

[Steve @SteveCotner]

@NathanD_17 @ChrisMijares7 @sophiegreenleaf You mean it would make things better but not solve all the world’s problems? Sounds dumb.

@NathanD_17 @ChrisMijares7 @sophiegreenleaf “Alcohol continues to be the substance with the closest correlation with most Part I crimes, although burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft see heavy influence from methamphetamine and other controlled substances as well.”

@NathanD_17 @ChrisMijares7 @sophiegreenleaf “I don’t think that particular drug leads to that particular crime” is not a very compelling argument.

@prtyisntova @UncleBenjamin5 @KatenCheyenne @Jordon_Carlton @ThePostsOffice 🤦🏼‍♂️… The burden of proof is never to disprove an unfounded claim. It’s to prove the claim. Your replies on here have been ridiculed because you seem to have a completely backwards sense of that burden. Good luck and take care.

@CodexMma @Nihaositgoing @HiddenYorkshire @danwaterfield Go on.

@CodexMma @Nihaositgoing @HiddenYorkshire @danwaterfield If it’s luck, then it’s not a moral framework worth entertaining. If it’s predestination, then we have been placed in an unwinnable game. Both scenarios entail a deity with a morality lesser than our own, and which does not transcend our own understanding. i.e. not a deity at all

[Steve @SteveCotner]

@CodexMma @Nihaositgoing @HiddenYorkshire @danwaterfield This means we have a moral framework that would send undeserving souls to hell: a man, for instance, who was on track to repent next year but instead was hit by a bus today. His fate up or down was not won by free will; his will was cut short, by luck or predestination.
