In what way? I posted a premise, gave three possible responses, and asked people which response they thought those pictures represented. There's no flaw in that, it's classic textbook experimental methodology. When I started this thread, the pictures were not well known at all, much less...

Incorrect. I stated very clearly in Posts #1, #10 and #19 what I want, and it's not to "prove" anything. It's an experiment to see what happens with the responses that are, and are not, filtered through the sieve of politics, and who are the ones to filter their responses through that filter...

See how easy it is to favor fantasy over fact, especially when the fantasy is so closely held that it becomes a virtual religiosity? There was no controversy about Global Warming before Al Gore. Republicans and Democrats alike worked on environmental issues that would reduce the impact of Global...

And the last sentence of the article succinctly sums it up. Yes, it's called science illiteracy, regardless of whether you use quotes around "facts" or not. People will dismiss scientific fact that contradicts their belief because they don't understand the science, but they certainly understand...

She didn't drag the President into it, anymore than she dragged Ellen DeGeneres into it. She dragged PETA's grossly massive hypocrisy into it. And that's a comment filtered through politics. Her comment was hardly petty and childlike, as it was a direct response to the unprovoked petty and...

Fas.cin.at.ing. Amazing. Liberals can not help themselves. Cat's out of the bag and the mother is known, liberals get called on filtering their response through politics, and even when given the opportunity to fake a neutral response, they can't help themselves. As to the question asked of...

She didn't post the photo here. I did. In order to reference the mother, you had to go outside of this thread to do so. ;) I like her, too, but I find I like her less because her public relations department (the media) does exactly that. Uhm, OK. In that case, I make a motion that everyone's...

Amazingly, you have created yet another straw man logical fallacy, beaten it down, and declared victory, all without addressing the issue at hand. Nobody said anyone should be de-legitimized for the position of POTUS because they have religious beliefs. The issue at hand is whether someone...

When I awoke to this... thing... I had to leave the bedroom to get some stuff to kill it (and to put the clothes on that I grabbed as I left). A firearm briefly entered my mind, but just as quickly I realized that trying to kill a wasp in the bedroom with a .22 rifle left handed was probably not...

Is it? It ain't a CAT scan. But my point is, because you knew who the mother was, your response was filtered through the politics of it, otherwise there would be absolutely no need whatsoever to say the mother "ought to know better," and in fact would have no reason to reference the unseen...

Not really. The OP himself/herself was the one who took the train to the switch yard in Post #42 and put it on another track at the hump.

Far be it from be to contradict the four corner "truth" of it all, though.

The chances of two different mics both being bad is pretty slim, especially since those headsets aren't known for having bad mics. You've either the mic too close, or more likely, too far away from your mouth. With noise cancelling mics just half an inch one way or the other can be the...

I just killed a Red Wasp, in my bedroom. In the house. In January. It was really big. Ever see the movie Starship Troopers? Practically, yeah. Nothing shatters the illusion of your manly-man machismo faster than being awakened by the really loud, really close droning buzz of this mother...

That's because religion makes you stupid. Case in point, you have millions of people every day, five times a day, kneel and pray in the direction of Mecca, not realizing that on a spherical Earth they are praying directly towards the blackness of open space.

"Of course, the kid in this photo is retarded, which absolves him from understanding that, but his "clueless" mother ought to know better." Got it.

Yes, thanks. I read it the first time. But thanks for reposting it. First of all, I never said anything you said referred to anything political, because you made no political statements. What I said was, your response was filtered through the sieve of politics. Meaning, if you didn't know who...

I can't imagine a scenario where someone's religion would prevent them from running for POTUS. Not unless the US Constitution is amended. I can certainly imagine a scenario where one's religion would make them utterly unelectable, though.

You didn't reply with disrespect, you replied with what "she" should be teaching her children. Once I pointed out the hypocrisy, that's when you started hanging tuff on the disrespect angle. But like I said before you even posted in this thread, the only ones who focus on the mother not...
