Behavior isn’t genetic.

That simply isn't true. It's not all genetically determined; environment plays a key role. But behavior is also massively influenced by genetic factors like IQ, temperament, impulsivity, sociablity, etc.

One study for instance: LINK

quote:
Personality traits are the relatively enduring patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that reflect the tendency to respond in certain ways under certain circumstances. Twin and family studies have demonstrated that personality traits are moderately heritable, and can predict various lifetime outcomes, including psychopathology.

The arrests sparked outrage from city and state leaders, who emphasized that an emergency bill signed in May prohibits ICE from operating in "sensitive locations like public schools."

Sorry that your state law doesn't override federal jurisdiction.

In its current form, the First Amendment gives too much protection to those who wish to do our country and culture harm. The Constitution was created by and for principled, conservative, Godly men and the benefit of it should not extend so generously to those who do not fit that description.

So just to be clear, you believe that people should not be allowed to speak out against the government if the government deems that the speech would do the country harm?

Yeah, no thanks

A separate conversation is how we distinguish this from other stand your ground cases. This potentially degrades the law’s effectiveness. In Texas it was about as rock solid as it gets (you basically only have to reasonably fear for your life).

It’s easily distinguishable because no reasonable person would fear for their life based on all the facts presented at trial.

Other than the uranium enrichment, no, those things weren't.

Except that Trump's own Defense Intelligence Agency publicly stated that Iran would not have weapons-grade capability until 2035 at the earliest.

quote:
Do any of those things I listed meet your threshold of justification?

For the current action, no.

Like I posted above, the most likely scenario is that Israel told the US that they were planning on striking Iran and they needed the US to help take Iranian military capabilities. The US justified it to the public as Iran will most likely counter Israel's attack against both Israeli and US holdings so we should preemptively attack their capabilities.

And how would you even know that or be able to prove that whatsoever?

:lol:

Because the justification came directly from the Trump Administration. . .

They threw out a lot of reasons - many conflicting - but the one that is most likely true came from Rubio, who stated that the US was preemptively striking Iran in order to prevent Iranian retaliation to US holdings in the area following a planned Israeli attack on Iran.

Did we ever have business in the European theater of WWII?

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. Not Germany. Bringing the US into the war was a move some German military officials did not want.

Except that Germany and Japan (along with Italy) had already executed the Tripartite Pact a year before Pearl Harbor, and the Germans declared War on the US prior to FDR requesting Congress to declare war on Germany.

so being happy our pilots are safe is vomiting emotions..... but having sympathy for the people of Iran is analyzing facts...... got it.

Does it hurt to be this stupid?

Apparently.

I very clearly was criticizing Trump’s decision to engage in this unnecessary conflict with Iran. My post made no reference either way to safety of the soldiers involved.

You’re analysis and response was that I “didn’t care about foreign policy or these two soldiers”

I’m thrilled they are okay. I am less than thrilled that illiterate and emotionally compromised individuals like yourself get to vote.

And, yes, I can be thrilled that American soldiers are okay and sympathize with Iranian population being held under the thumb of the theocratic authoritarians. Those are not competing positions.

I have a lot of sympathy for the people of Iran. The majority are native Persian and are not Shiite Muslims despite the propaganda coming from the government. Realistically, Iran probably has the best ingredients in the Middle East to be a Non-Theocratic, Constitutional, Republic.

All that said, we have lost this battle decade after decade. War isn't going to remove this tyrannical regime.

re: Trial set to begin in murder of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony; Verdict is GUILTY

It’d be pretty easy for the defense to argue there was no intent that the guy doing the stabbing intended the person to die by only stabbing one time.

I thought this was the dumbest thing I had ever read on the OT. Then I read this:

quote:
If someone pushes you, and in response you stab them in the stomach one time. One, you are defending yourself. Two, it’d be hard to prove intent of murder. Intent of harmful bodily injury - yes. Bodily injury that results in loss of life, doubtful.
