    “But basketball is racist against whites.”

    Basic logic? :emoji_joy:

    I didn't say that.

    You said an all-White board of directors is "defacto discrimination."

    So I asked you if an all-Black basketball team is "defacto discrimination" and you just dismissed the question.

    Undocumented is not illegal. Not the same meaning. Certain undocumented can work under federal law.

    Possibly because it’s not a serious question.

    Are the parents actually reading these books? Have you read:

    To Kill A Mockingbird
    The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
    Of Mice and Men
    The Catcher in The Rye
    Lord of The Flies

    I don't know what is in some of the other books. If they have explicit content, they should definitely not be in elementary schools, middle schools and as far high schools, that is up to the parents, not moms for "liberty"
    You should start telling yourself that. Losing one's freedoms is terrifying. If tomorrow the dems were in charge and decided to a nationwide gun ban, you'd have a freakout of epic proportions.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

    Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

    —Martin Niemöller

    Keep preaching from your oh so high pedestal.

    Hmmm. Senile old man on one side who fights for the American way of life, or an indicted psychopath that believes dictators are a good example to follow on the other side.

    Who do I choose? Senile old man all day long.

    Yeah but when I called some of your posts 'dumb' recently you sure did think it was an insult. That was an observation. I called your posts dumb because they were. But now you think directly calling another poster a moron isn't an insult because it's just an observation?

    This is just another example of the selective reasoning you constantly engage in to justify something DeSantis did or, in this case, something you did.

    Revoking my ability to defend myself is not quite the same as revoking the ability to kill an unwanted human being.

    What did you do when they went for the unwanted unborn children?

    Magas: "No no no no! Not what it means at all! naaahnnnaaaaanaaaaa " Fingers in ears

    I didn't call him a moron.

    I mentioned the possibility that he might be a moron as an alternative to the possibility that he is a liar.

    Pardon my ignorance on this one, but does the new Florida immigrant law distinguish between undocumented and illegal immigrants? At least in the situation in which DeSantis flew immigrants coming across the boarder from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard, I thought that those immigrants were in the undocumented character considering that they were asylum seekers.

    Anyone thinking only one side is doing this isn’t very informed. Both sides are terrible. The sooner everyone sees that the better.

    2,000 high-paying jobs plus additional hires would have a much more profound impact than one-off construction, and I say this as someone that has spent his entire career in the construction industry.

    Make up your mind.

    Do you agree with your standard from the previous thread and neither are insulting or do you agree with my standard from the previous thread and both are insulting?

    To Kill a Mockingbird isn’t banned in Florida. Neither are the others I believe.

    Meh, I don't think so, though I can see how it may appear that way to you.

    In the previous thread I was addressing the post, calling the post dumb. In this thread you are addressing the poster, calling him either a moron or a liar. That you can't see the difference is typical for someone who so frequently engages in false equivalencies.
