  1. @immamac neg carpet bombing runs supposedly aren't allowed. Mr. Laughing So Hard I'm Crying I'm Not Upset You're Upset got his fee fees hurt and is doing it right now. This includes people who hadn't even negged his posts such as me. Can you apply a neg from me to all 700+ of his posts or do I have to waste my clearly more valuable time to retaliate?
  2. You shouldn't broadcast that you don't understand what you're looking at so publicly. Worthy made two cuts while Martin was running full speed on a straight line. Martin saw that Worthy was pulling away once he started moving straight and made a great diving play to clip his feet. Saying Martin "caught him" when Worthy had a 7 yard head start is a terrible take.
  3. Worthy is the new version of a great team player. Nothing wrong with an American adult trying to maximize his market value and get his. We all do it at our jobs (or should). But when it was time to take the field he played his ass off. I'm not saying he didn't have his faults but as time passes his efforts to make sure he was making the money he could make won't be seen as one of them.
  4. "Hey guys it's 11pm on a Friday night and I'm going to go post some stuff about how skin color has no effect on anyone's life anymore and them I'm going to wait for one of them to call me a white racist and then I'm going to tell them AHA I'M NATIVE AMERICAN to totally pwn them because my great-great-grandfather was a Seminole." You're a real winner, don't let reality tell you otherwise.
  5. This is really weak, man. I know you desperately want someone to get upset at your posts because you have nothing fulfilling in your life but you're going to have to do better than this.
  6. Yeah that's bullshit. Fuck that proposal. Obviously I'll still watch but it is so anti-competitive.
  7. Completely non-responsive and deflective. Try again.
  8. No, this is where dumbasses who believed that CRT was an actual problem gathered to post stupid things and then disappear once the people who told them CRT was an actual problem admitted that it wasn't an actual problem and they were just conning the rubes.
  9. I can understand this perspective, I was only questioning the "anyone" in your previous post.
  10. I mean this is a Texas Tech WR and you mean to tell me you didn't wish a knee injury on Derek Dorris?
  11. Not sure that is an accurate reflection of Houston versus Austin. Austin is 76% of the population of Travis County. Houston is about 50% of Harris. Add that to the Houston suburbs seeming redder than Austin's and those numbers above track to Houston being at least roughly as Democratic leaning as Austin.
  12. Probably cronyism of some sort but overlapping at high school one year means one was a freshman and one was a senior. It's more likely they never had a single conversation than it is that they were friends. I don't doubt that stupid exception means somebody was bought off but that's pretty flimsy evidence on its own.
  13. There is a City of Washington. It is coterminus with the District of Columbia but that was not always so, as I said. It also combined with the District governmentally but is still a city (much like Anchorage, Denver, Honolulu and others are both cities and counties). Multiple federal sites can confirm this for you.
  14. In his defense, it's a lot better to be triple her age when you're in your 60s than when you're in your 30s.
  15. Wait it was the right thread. Ha. The entire doublethink they're trying to get away with is breathtaking. "It's a human life at fertilization! Life is sacrosanct and must be respected and never discarded!" "Okay so that means they are afforded full rights (including citizenship) at fertilization and IVF embryos as well which means being an IVF provider is too risky and will go away and millions who have used IVF are complicit in murder." "But not those! Those in particular aren't human lives yet." Mark my words, the bills will be changed to say at implantation by next session.
  16. I just dropped in your thread to congratulate you on winning the most esteemed trophy in all of sports. Great work, Liverpool.
  17. This is actually correct. You stumbled upon why you're wrong about natural rights existing.
  18. So your entire argument is circular as others have pointed out. You are saying that natural rights don't exist only legal rights because to be a right it has to be a legal right so natural rights don't exist. This is the reason you can't convince anyone of anything. You are only saying this is the way it is because it is this way.
  19. I understand the theory, but when your theory of rights means that in a society where child rape is legal and common nobody is doing anything wrong and nobody's rights are being violated then your theory is questionable at best. And natural law predates Christ and the originators didn't believe in the Abrahamic God so attempting to reduce it to Sky Man logic is facile.
  20. Others covered it just fine but that's not antagonistic. You're just being sensitive. If one believes that Jesus Christ's claim to be the Son of God (or for some people his very existence) is fraudulent then by description is straightforward. The vast majority of the world believes Christianity is fraudulent. Speaking of existence, this thread's and then the above exchange should be big clues to you that your real issue is getting your feelings hurt so quickly if someone seems to be questioning your beliefs. I believe this is what people who share a lot of your beliefs, and perhaps even you, call being a snowflake.
  21. Putting aside the breathtaking closed mindedness that you displayed by assuming the only alternative to being Christian is being an atheist, I'll play along. Natural rights (natural human rights since that's obviously what we're talking about): Right to bodily security and autonomy (this includes the right to life because killing someone obviously violates it) Right to privacy Right to liberty Those are the main ones off the top of my head and of course they're all interrelated. Comes down to you don't get to fuck with other people. These rights can be forfeited of course. If I kill someone then I have forfeited some or all of those rights, which ones and to what extent is another discussion.
  22. Of course natural rights are not dependent on the government, that's what the term natural rights means. My view on any particular religion or even religion overall is irrelevant to that question.
  23. You should try again after actually thinking about what you write. For example, I believe in natural rights that do not require governmental authority, but I think the Christian religion is a fraud. So no, believing in natural rights doesn't make you a Christian nationalist because it doesn't even make you a Christian.
