Source? I'd love to read this so I can be free of misinformation.
I live in a rural area. I use a Verizon MiFi with an unlimited data plan, that was mandated by the FCC in exchange for Verizon getting a chunk of spectrum. I get 34mbps wirelessly, which is enough and beats the crap out of the ~2mbps DSL available.
I live very far from the interstate and have very nice 4g - I wouldn't have been able to purchase my 45 acre plot of land for cheap if not for wireless data, because I work from home and depend on internet. I pay $45/mo for unlimited data.
You seem like you're making shit up, nice work!
it incentivized the little man to go out and buy a 10,000 pound diesel truck
Hey look you're talking about me! 14 months ago I bought a dually diesel F-350 so I could haul a 16k pound RV around America and check it out with my family of 5. I lived in the RV for a year, and it's not like I drove the truck every day, so for all I know my carbon footprint went down. I wouldn't know, since I don't actually give a shit.
My kids got to see more of America. It's a beautiful country, and the fact that I had an option like that is part of what makes it beautiful.
It's really hard for me to take the vast majority of environmentalists seriously since their ideological ancestors are the reason nuclear power has been hamstrung for so long. If we'd built nuclear power plants we'd be outputting drastically less CO2, and energy would be cheaper. Environmentalists took that away from me, and now they'd also like to take my truck away to 'pay' for their dumbass policies.
America is about freedom. Figure it out. Identify how to convince free people to change their behaviour in the way that you want.
You can do this by making reasonable arguments. Which brings me to:
the best possible thing that could happen for both the earth AND human beings would be for the price of oil and coal to skyrocket. Would it cause an economic disaster? Probably. Would it be worth it? Not a single doubt in my mind.
Millions of human beings would die in the short term. Specifically, poor people. It seems like an extreme position to say "let's kill millions of poor people, for the environment!" but you do you.
claimed she attend 10 gang rape parties but only stopped going after she was the target
Read closer, she doesn't even make that claim! She said she was the target in 1982 but attended ten parties from 1981 - 1983. She went back for more by her own account!
He knowingly lied about devil's triangle
A lot of people in the yearbook reference devil's triangle. They reference "losing" at devil's triangle. You think this evidence plus Occam's Razor supports it being a multi-party sex act? Which high school kid ever says he lost at a threesome?
Oh yeah and other kids from the school have come out saying it's a freaking quarters game. So there's that.
You people are loony.
Law enforcement has unanimously unendorsed him
Hyperbole is always fun. If I find a single law enforcement officer that supports him, you're proven to be "just saying shit" rather than having constructive dialog. I assert at least one law enforcement officer supports him.
This guy's a phony!
Had Kavanaugh said...he didn't adequately respect women and that although he had no recollection, he could not completely deny that in his drunken state he might have crossed a line with the young Dr. Ford, and if so he felt very sorry for it, I'd have respected him and felt differently about his nomination.
What if he didn't do it though? Your statement has two variants based on the facts:
1) He did the things he is accused of.
In this case, it's a fine and rational statement.
2) He did not do the things he is accused of.
In this case, your statement makes no sense at all. Should he confess to something that didn't happen in order to appease weak-minded people? This would make him unfit for any leadership position.
What you really mean is you believe he is guilty of what he is accused of without evidence.
That's a fine stance to take. It's not rational and has all manner of horrendous outcomes if it becomes widespread, but at least it's not disingenuous.
