Re: Shut Up
This is definitely a disturbing development. The answer to unwanted speech is not to limit it or cancel it based on what some appointed speech monitor says. If one views speech as "bad" the answer is more speech to counter and expose the supposed "bad" speech, not less speech. Who will monitor the ...

Re: Shut Up
Break up Twitter, Facebook, and Google. On what basis? These are resources that add to the speech landscape, they have not limited that landscape. What is the basis used to ‘break them up’ and how does a government then guarantee an alternative platform, and for what aim? Do I need the government t...

If one views speech as "bad" the answer is more speech to counter and expose the supposed "bad" speech, not less speech. Doctor - 1. Considering resource availability and reach, how do you propose to do that? 2. How often should private firms be required to broadcast someone else’s opinion? 3. At w...

Re: An exotic new argument for eye-witness testimony
But they might not distinguish whether it was a genuine gun, or simply a prop. Especially if the gun were to be, say, hidden under a cloth. And what if the person brandishing the hidden gun was friendly with the witness into whose face it was supposedly being pointed, and was specifically wanting t...

Re: Election Litigation Scorecard
There is already a do over in Clark County. The race between Anthony Sravos and Ross Miller ended with Miller having a 10 vote margin of victory and a special election has been set. Ross Miller promptly filed suit: https://ewscripps.brightspotcdn.com/33/7c/ba4b5fd2483da80fe1aa5af18f62/ross-miller-co...

Re: The Best Site For The Latest Stories On The Election
Another factoid devoid of context. No evidence that it is unusual. Pure fallacy of personal incredulity. Again. Not sure how "context" can escape you on this, nor am i sure how it can be dumbed down further - but as you have been so courteous to me, I will try. Let us say you are counting votes tha...

Re: A New Smear Article: Interpreter Targets Givens and Hauglid
The dichotomy is silly--religious regimes vs atheist ones. Hitler saw himself as conducting God's work. Stalinist Russia was run on the same type of dogma that religion is. On the other hand, Peterson should feel lucky atheists often promote a secular humanist approach. he benefits from the progres...

Re: The Best Site For The Latest Stories On The Election
I disagree. I think democrats got clubbed with the "socialist" label, and Bernie would have done worse. Sadly, Trump was able pin the violent incidents during this summer's demonstrations on "the left," and I think that had an effect on centrist voters. There was a smaller percentage of undecideds ...
