>>Your first post said something along the lines of 'stem cell procedures don't always work as intended, and you get side effects'.<<

No. I mentioned embryonic stem cell research not yielding productive results. I mentioned that adult stem cells can and are being used with progress. I implied that we should, perhaps, focus our efforts on the stem cell research which both yields results and does not require the destruction of embryos to do. Your story is of the use of adult stem cells, not embryonic stem cells. If anything, it is additional evidence for my implication. And it was just an implication.

I was sooooo explicitly clear. tongue <===that is my message.

Hey Xeno, where's my response? If this is your admission that you didn't consider the most basic economic principles before starting a thread, LET IT DIE BEFORE PAGE 20.

You advocate genocide of their countrymen because they do not care for their own children? Presumably you're not suggesting foreign nations impose a babysitting function within the current society.

Usually, when the word "truth" is being raped, the focus is on human perception and the limits of human perception to KNOW.

Like the word "reality." It's a real word. You can look it up. But I doubt many places will define it such that a psychotic person is actually physically not entirely bound by the same laws situated in the same world as the rest of us. (seeing as they are, in fact, not) Because my perception of something is different from that of a person of another culture in which connotations of certain words are VERY different for the two of us does not mean that we experience DIFFERENT REALITIES when we have the same experience but do not look at it the same way. It means we had different perceptions. It means we interpretted things differently. Redefining real words we have real meanings for is just ignorant, pointless, misleading, and [thus] stupid. I suppose it's not pointless if one's goal is to jazz something up to try to sound more intelligent, like one has a new perspective, and so garner some attention. But I would contend that such is not an admirable goal to work toward here.

The bottom line is that the psychotic person is not actually omnipotent. I don't care what the limits of human perception are; we all know that, just because a guy is psychotic and thinks he's superman and he's going to run through that brick wall, when he hits it and kills himself, he is objectively dead and did not, in fact, run through that brick wall. Truth has a meaning too. Debate how knowable much or any TRUTH is freely. But to redefine this word is as bad as "reality." The psychotic guy is just as dead here and now in the real world, no matter what pseudo-intellectual BS might want to claim about us not KNOWing anything.

>>but talking to you was simply useless because all u can do is go to threads and make bad comments about the posters.<<

You're ignoring the posts which contend that you are wrong seriously in favor of reposting a topic WITHOUT addressing its serious posts of dissent. Until you are up to actually addressing the arguments against your position, you are in no position to make "bad comments" about me because... I made a "bad comment" about you? I explained myself. You're obviously incapable.

>>you never made us to enlighten us with ur illness so we can see if true or not.<<

I spent a short while looking for statistics on money spent on care/number of people seeking care in foreign nations. I looked for US citizens traveling abroad and non-US citizens traveling to the USA for care. I failed to find anything very comprehensive (when at all). Rather than spend more time looking for statistics which, as I explained, wouldn't mean anything to a forum comprised primarily of kids who can't digest [even basic] statistics anyway, I let the topic go. I _even explained_ (hard to comprehend, right? obviously so... you didn't get the message, and here we are) this and didn't continue making fun of the ignorant retards in the thread. If you want to argue that it is reasonable to expect me spending more time gathering data for little kids, go for it. But I'd feel silly doing it, let alone arguing that one should.

I have no idea what you posted on your income. It's embarassing enough addressing small children half the time. I don't want to know about your finances.

>>when its about weapons you come with the right for self defense and ignore all facts<<

Yeah, read that thread again. You'll feel bad for children ALL over the world. It's in line for dumbest thread of kids shitting on the forum ever. Fine example. I'll gloss over how your claiming I "ignore all facts" is a dumb lie. If it could be more backwards... No. Nevermind. It couldn't.

>> i gave u the statistics about murder rates with guns there.. but.. you wont care.. u dont care for information.. you only care for insults.<<

Yeah, read that thread again.  "the statistics about murder rates with guns there." WHAT A STATISTIC! That tells us so much. You can read that thread to the end to see me go on at length as to why this is retarded. I HIGHLY suggest NO ONE ELSE read that thread. It's so [   ]ing stupid you'll want to... do most anything but read that thread.

>>whats your fucking problem lol...<<

I just pointed out that you're just spamming your arguments against strawmen arguments. A strawman "argument" is a fallacious argument in which one person argues against a position which another does not actually hold. The goal is to make the position look obviously silly in the hopes that ignorant morons bearing witness will confuse the "strawman" (the position you're attacking which no one holds) with the actual argument of the opposition to your view.

You didn't have to get all bent out of shape about it and point to other instances where you have failed to respond to the most basic of dialogues. My post was a line long.

"the public libraries" != "public libraries"

The "doesn't have," "the," and "of our nations" are guilty of giving away the comparison.

You'll find that China does not allow its fine citizens all of the reading materials we enjoy access to.

Wow. You're disgustingly stupid.

Germany has a lower murder rate than the US. So what?

Canada has a lower murder rate than the US? So what?

You're so stupid I have to spoon feed you even the questions to ask to come up with any substance, and still you fail. Unless you have some information which attributes US murder rates (as compared to X country with lower murder rates)  to firearms, your comparisons of murder rates are meaningless. Other nations without firearm bans have lower murder rates than the US. How do you explain those, when without further analysis you just presume that because X nation with more gun control than the US has a lower murder rate, the gun control is the cause? Without an explanation of how you attribute this difference in murder rate to firearms, you must be BAFFLED at why other nations have lower murder rates without gun control. [I can't make this any simpler. You fail to provide the most basic explanation of what you are claiming and mouth off instead. Honestly, anyone older than 15 is reading this thinking you're a moron. It doesn't matter if there's 3 or 4 15 year old morons. "Total Pwnage"? You're still failing to have the simplest of dialogues and saying stupid things like this in place of ANY response to the most BASIC points that blow you out of the water] You're just too bloody stupid to use common sense to deduce that differing murder rates are not [necessarily] caused by firearms. You're SO undeveloped, be it by age or intelligence or education--I don't want to be mean if you were just born/raised stupid--that I can point this out over and over and never get any response.

>>sorry, i thought an educated person like you can see facts in statistics. after your second education you should be able to see statistics and filter the information from them.<<

I recently dug up statistics from nearly a dozen sites and stopped when they were just so redundant more wouldn't make any difference. Anyone can google information on gun control and crime rates. An educated person like me has looked up, digested, and posted statistics from the UK, Australia, and countless cities in various countries where, with the passing of firearms bans, violent crime increased dramatically. Rates like "more than a 100% increase" (that means more than doubled, for the retards out there) are pretty dramatic and I think they should not be overlooked as statistical anomalies. The UK saw large increased. AU saw increases more than doubling. Many cities (and consistantly--I haven't found a case where the opposite has occured. Found one? If you had you'd have posted it instead of garbage.) see the same thing.

But the best "facts" you can find that I should be able to "filter from" the "statistics" are... Germany has a lower murder rate than the USA? So what? What's your point? You don't have one. How could anyone respond to posts so absolutely idiotic as yours constructively? You have absolutely nothing to say. You're crying that I must be wrong, yet you have absolutely nothing to disagree with in what I say. You do not contend that my data is skewed or that the reasoning that lead to my conclusions pulled from the data is skewed. You just have "Well Germany has less murders!" to offer. Good job. Swing and a miss. Try again.

>>Of course, using potato credits would be the best deal.  <<

What? Of course? How stupid of a generalization is that? You're PRESUMING that all credits require the same amount of investment (including time, LABOR) to produce. Anyone older than 10 can figure out that that's just silly.

>>You have a lot of onion credits, though, as you grow onions in your garden. <<

Where did you break down the increased cost of all agricultural goods distributors being open to unregulated growing by random people? Someone has to pick up or take your onions, package them, evaluate them, and distribute them. Sure you get your "onion credits," but there's a lot more cost involved in taking all products randomly from accross the globe/area than current producers. And then there's that lack of regulation for health/safety purposes. Pardon my sarcasm. I know that you have not, in fact, addressed either of these points. Again, those are the increased cost and difficulty of regulation (with any additional regulation, by the nature of this extremely decentralized production in which every single private citizen is a contributor on their own, to catch up costing EVEN MORE).

>>You think maybe they're short on potatoes or something.<<

Maybe you'd think that if you were a retard? They don't want microchips or raisins either. They'd just be trading for other things. Like money. It sounds like your system would SCREW anyone with resources which become overly abundant (thus lowering their value) MUCH more than a monetary system does now. Fact of life: If what you're selling isn't worth much, you're not going to get much for selling it. Find a new product or service and move on. That's life. You can produce 10 million of something nobody wants--how does that make you entitled to anything because you produced junk?

>>Anyway, while in line, you push a few buttons on your keypad and do a little online banking: you exchange your onion credits for potato credits at a good rate: 1:1.<<

So, after this hastle of having to exchange credits while in line to get lunch (just what I want to do during lunch, more economic transactions!), what you end up with is a very fluid economy of assets in which the value of things changes in relation to the general cost of goods in an economy? THAT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE A MONETARY SYSTEM, YOU DUMB [saving some poor mod some work]. Pardon my French. But read it again until you take it in. And again, if necessary. And then again. And again... Forget it. You're just not equipped for basic economics yet. I wish you well.

In case you haven't been entirely "owned," in terms of pre-teen arguments, yet:
"You see that you can get a happy meal for 1.5976 potato credits"
"You see that you can get a happy meal for... 2.1 onion credits"
-----coupled with:------
"you exchange your onion credits for potato credits at a good rate: 1:1."

This has to be the most disgusting display of ignorance of the most basic economics EVER by anyone who's started a thread they're still posting in 19 pages later. This is simply the dumbest and most idiotic lack of applied consciousness I've ever seen.

I was going to point out the idiocy in his saying we should take away ALL income a person can get from academic contribution (which is already small), but I really don't care for the majority of academics so I'm just gonna let it slide.

You have to remember, You_Fool, that his country doesn't have the public libraries (and relatively public libraries) of our nations. Their focus is support through indoctrination. They teach him that the West is evil and it is their evil which causes poverty. He doesn't have the things we have at our disposal 7 days a week that we are so wealthy we generally ignore for our whole lives. But he DOES have the ignorance and arrogance to think he knows about these things and post anyway! That makes up for it; right? Be nice. Maybe he knows and he's just jealous.

You have a lot of focus on "give everyone X standard" (and you set a pretty high standard, with food, housing, clothing, internet, etc) with NO attention to PEOPLE HAVE TO DO X WORK TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. You gloss over this DETAIL which is the BIGGEST FOCUS OF HUMAN LABOR SINCE THE HISTORY OF HUMANITY. Work on that.

This thread is as dumb as you idiots thinking a crack on "Lol at an American saying that." is funny. Education in the USA is not federally controlled. (for the most part. there is some funding that is dependent upon federal regulation--but that's very minor when evaluating education in the US as a whole. you hillarious retards are obviously too dumb to know that but too arrogant to realize you have no idea what you're talking about) It's no secret that my education (even before universities) must be faaaaaaaaaaaaar above anything you kids have ever gotten. I'm guessing (worse yet, HOPING) a lot of you aren't through your secondary education yet, from what you display here.

I'm happy to not be an ass about the fact that a lot of you are still teens or not even, but you just look retarded when you post trying to talk down to anyone.

What a surprise that your post lacks any explanation of what the "bigger picture" is and how gun control fits in despite the fact that, in addition to restricting a person's freedom and safety (and the safety of anyone and everyone he/she is with), it raises violent crime rates.

It's a shame that the only liberals on this forum are kids and teens who find most liberal positions to better fit their "I wish the world was this way" and "I wish this was the method that worked in the world I wish I lived in" views of the world. There are educated adults whom I disagree with on plenty of political and philosophical issues. But nonsense like the liberals of this forum post here? Give me a break. Do you see me posting "You just don't see the bigger picture. What a shame!"? Yeah. I didn't think so. Get offline and go to school. You have work to do.
