This retard wants us to prove a negative. lmao.

"This retard"?

You could not phrase your question more civilly?

"Well, Felix, you should post a link to support your contention that Ms. Bill Clinton is a corrupt liar instead of someone having to prove she is not." would have sufficed.

I know you are retarded but I didnt ask a question. Notice the lack of a question mark?

The wife of Bill Clinton.

You are one of the worst attempts at a troll I have ever seen.

But you aren't even making an attempt to hide that obviously.

I would guess you are just one of those weird I'll say the opposite of what I think people.

that would be Mrs.

No, Ms is appropriate for any woman regardless of marital status.

The reason he's identifying her in that manner, particularly the use of Bill's name instead of her own, is to diminish her from being an individual in her own right. He's trying to be clever. I'm guessing he picked it up from a chain email or some such.

The same could be said of liberal brain phenomena. How could one simply dismiss Ms. Bill Clinton's unsavory character? Clearly, this is a brain defect.
I think the argument is more apt for trump supporters who are statistical less educated. The theory argues that the skills/knowledge necessary to produce right answers (or select the politician best suited for you) are the same skills/knowledge needed to even recognize how well or poorly you are as a decision maker in regards to that test.

When tested formally in general the more incompetent the person was at the test, the more they overestimated their abilities in regards to the test itself (the theory also established that people who are highly competent tend to underestimate their competence compared to others)

The Dilbert principle is interesting in that it argues that people who are incompetent and don't know it get promoted to management to get them out of the way of really doing harm to their company (taking them out of positions where incompetence really hurts). Both theories basically argue that people who are incompetent at something often don't realize how incompetent they are.

Jesus was a liberal and you need to disavow him for it.

Please learn how to properly use quotations and make it clear when you're making an argument of your own vs just copy-and-pasting random parts of the OP's articles in the form of something vaguely resembling a response. I will reply to your argument once I find it.

In short you live in one of the more diverse and safest places in the world, yet you're terribly concerned about them ethnic types, per the OP.

See the same point made to Jaskalas, etc.

This whole thread is almost a perfect illustration of itself, right down to FelixDeCat blaming it all on the devil Ms. Bill Clinton.

That's why we have so many guns. Irrational fears of the black man. White people are too basic for a modern world. They did good when they could sip scotch and machine gun tribal people. But those days are long gone.


And gun control since the 1600's is based purely on racism (irrational fear of the black man) that's why blacks have been heavily restricted from owning guns throughout much of this countries history , but don't let the facts get in the way of your hyperbole.

Jesus was a liberal and you need to disavow him for it.

And here we were told he was a warmongering bigot.


He defined marriage as between a man and woman
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

He did not come to bring peace but a sword
34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.

That's already been done before you started in with your obstinate petulance. The option is still open to you. OTOH, it seems apparent that your opinion does not & need not have any factual basis for you to believe.

I've been watching Trump supporters on YouTube, and I am worried for this country.
I hope we are at peak stupidity now and these people will be slowly displaced by more educated new generations. But right now is a scary time where we are a step away from slipping into Idiocracy.

the trump supporters were the teaparty just 4 years ago. And they were the religious right before that. They arent going away. They are becoming more and more extreme.

Urban violence is on the rise. Country violence probably on the decline. Its not so cut and dry. All major democratic metropolitan shitholes are seeing record crime. Don't try and hide in Republican land when it suits you. Own up to your shitty cities, run by Democrats.

Not even close to record levels, those record levels occurred during St Ronnie's tenure, iirc.

You can't prove that Jesus ever existed much less what his political views were. All you can do is quote passages from a book of unknown authorship.

Well we have Roman records of Jesus. But don't let atheism derail this thread.

Pretty sure his sig already advertises the stack rank of faith over facts.

the trump supporters were the teaparty just 4 years ago. And they were the religious right before that. They arent going away. They are becoming more and more extreme.

I don't think they're becoming more extreme per se, just more comfortable publicly displaying that old fashioned bigoted faith again after it became unfashionable for a while. It's not as if there used to be less resentment towards minorities/women.
