There's a reason they call them "theories" and not facts, you freaking swine.

Swine is the rudest thing you could call a pig! You soggy package of Jell-O.

The point I'm trying to make is that they're believed to be fact, and some of those things weren't called theories back then, but were actual scientific "discoveries" believed to be factual. Anyways, that link was really meant for the people who think science is always 100% right, and not for the abortion discussion.

Look m8 I'm not judging you for believing a book about magical stick snakes but at least my science has a little bit bigger of a leg to stand on

I don't think about religion or pin it against science. Like with Dinosaurs (has nothing to do with religion, to my knowledge). They made up stories for why dinosaurs don't exist, but I'd still rather them stay out of it entirely until they found out how they became extinct. Also, why would you stand on someone's leg? That's just rude.

No one will ever find out. There is never an irrefutable truth, only theories that best fit the reality with the knowledge gathered.

TRUMP


Why would anyone vote for lyin' Ted, Crooked Hillary, Literally who Kasich, or comrade sanders? There all globalist shills and not for the american people.

CM 04-24-2016 01:06 AM

I respect all views but I can't see how people can support Trump.

I'm not saying you are wrong, stupid or anything else, I'm just saying that I can't see what other people seem to be able to see.

Again, not bashing anyone who supports him, and I'm not saying my views are the almighty correct ones, I just decided to throw that out there.

I'd like to see more discussion from people who voted for Trump

  • He's more straightforward and unapologetic than any other candidate. He says what's on his mind, even if may offend people. Political correctness isn't going to get in the way of his decisions. It's disgusting to see politicians literally afraid of calling something by exactly what it is because they might get labeled as "insensitive" by stupid people.
  • He can't be bought. His campaign is 100% self-funded and his only interest towards corporations is making sure they're straight-laced, successful, and operating in America (not how much they can pay him to sway him).
  • He has huge business accomplishments that show he's more qualified than any other candidate when it comes to handling an economy or balancing a budget. "But he filed for bankruptcy!" Do you know how many great, successful people in business have done that?
  • He doubles down instead of backing down. No world leader is going to threaten him into any position.
  • He will be selfish for our country. He will put our interests first. People act like that's a bad thing. We aren't the world babysitters. He won't give handouts to anyone who doesn't deserve it.
  • Democrats like him. He can bring in independents. He wouldn't be a partisan president.
But more importantly than all, because the majority of criticism towards him is forced, exaggerated, and irrelevant. You aren't going to convince me that he hates women because he called some woman a fat pig. You aren't going to be able to convince me that he's racist because he wants to keep illegal immigrants out of our country. You aren't going to be able to convince me he encourages violence just because there are idiots at his rallies who let their emotions get the best of them. He's a smart guy who seems to genuinely care about the country, and he's the strongest leader I see available.

I support Trump too, but I do think he eggs on some of the violence, to a degree. When he discusses paying the lawyer fees for someone who decked a protester in the face for no reason, then went on to say he would have to kill him the next time he saw him (Trump didn't say that, the guy who punched the protester did) I think that's egging it on. Nonetheless, I do support Trump. I also strongly believe that his selfishness would be great for the country because it would be applied to the country. Just like he does what needs to be done for his business, he would for the country too. I also do like his straight forwardness. Can't stand when politicians try to dip their toe in both sides of the aisle. Makes me realize I can't trust them when they constantly do that.

And @Dusty, science can provide evidence as to when certain stages occur in pregnancy, but for something like determining when a baby is considered "living" is based on interpretation. I don't believe science is always wrong. They're usually right. They do stretch a little too far sometimes, though. Many's arguments are based on the scientific theories, even for topics aside from pregnancy.

Seems to me like Trump realizes he's just an old, senile man who loves Trump, and he's offering to pay for his legal fees because he realizes he made a stupid mistake:
Quote:

“I do not condone violence in any shape. I do want to see what that young man was doing,” Donald Trump said Sunday when asked about McGraw’s assault on the much younger Jones, “because he [Jones] was very taunting, very loud, very disruptive. From what I understand, he was sticking a certain finger up in the air.”

Big deal, so Jones gave McGraw the finger. Maybe Jones even told McGraw to “f—k off.” But McGraw was quoted as saying “we” might have to “kill” Jones next time. That’s the deal-breaker here. “Nothing condones,” Trump has added. “But I want to see. The man got carried away. He’s 78 years old. He obviously loves this country.”

His campaign is 100% self-funded

This isn't entirely true. It's kind of misleading. He's loaned his campaign the majority of the money, and then accepts donations. If you don't believe me, go to donaldtrump.com

There's literally 2 donate buttons on the top of his site.

He gets money through donations and sales from his merchandise, and he does loan his campaign money. The idea of self-funding is mostly saying that he doesn't accept big amounts of money from businesses or wealthy people. I do wonder if he's going to get his money back or not. He said his lawyers just told him that using his money in the form of a loan was the easiest way to go, and he said he probably wouldn't expect his money back, but also said he doesn't know for certain yet.

He accepts donations from individuals, not major corporations. That's way different than your normal Republican candidate.
Quote:

$2,700 is the maximum amount an individual may give for the PRIMARY election to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.

$5,400 is the maximum amount a couple may give combined for the PRIMARY election to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. If a joint contribution is made, both individuals must be listed as account holders or both must sign the check.
The point being made about self-funding is that this guy isn't going to be swayed or bought towards any position. He doesn't need those donations I'm sure, but I don't blame him for accepting them.

What?

Isn't that what every candidate does?

The only thing I like about Trump is his opinion on the transgender bathroom issues.
