If God is the ultimate source and highest authority for knowledge, then there would be nothing greater to appeal to, and therefore appealing to Him would be necessarily circular. Not all circular reasoning is fallacious, but only viciously circular reasoning. When you appeal to ultimates, you can't help but be circular. Try this: defend the existence of the laws of logic without using the laws of logic.

---

The laws of logic are preconditions for argument. You can’t meaningfully debate anything without already relying on logic.

But a religious text is a specific historical claim that could be mistaken, interpreted differently, or challenged by competing revelations.

Using logic to reason about logic is different from saying “this specific book is divinely true because the book says it’s divinely true.”

It’s a logical fallacy to use a claim as its own evidence.

That one zip tie appears to be unnecessary, except for a little showmanship.

I’m late to this conversation. But based on your last few posts, every attempt at reasoning through this topic of discussion is premised on ancient text as an exclusive source of reasoning.

It may be helpful in making good moral decisions, but should it really be the basis for understanding things not documented in ancient writings by ancient humans from a bygone era that claimed to be inspired by unseen forces?

The guy who verbally threatened to take a life and then exhibited a tool to threaten people with was still armed as he entered the outdoor environment with more potential targets.

With the large number of men being removed, in many cases, women have been left to provide for their families on their own. In interviews with The Post, three women and one man described how an ICE arrest has transformed their families. All spoke of disastrous emotional and financial repercussions.

---

Many? What percentage of deported men actually left behind wives?

They don’t have that number so they found one to build a story. Gullible readers will think it’s the norm.

But nobody asks the question, if it's so critical that a BLACK must represent the interests of BLACK people, why aren't the Hispanics screaming the same and demanding set aside districts?

And don’t forget about the Asians.

They never whined about not having people that looked like them as a prerequisite to succeed.

Cliff notes: women will never date down

---

Just wait until those women see a wedding ring on your finger. Oddly enough, I’ve drawn more attention with a ring (from women and men) than
I ever did without a ring. It’s flattering, but odd.

Also, if more women are married by age 30 than men, then who are these women 30 and under men marrying? Older men.

So dudes in your 20s…focus on your job and maximize your wealth. By the time you pass 30, the younger broads will find you more attractive than they ever did in their 20s.

It’s also interesting that women have always married at a higher rate before age 30 than men during the same era, and the gap has always been around 10%.

Conclusion: women have always sought out older men at the same rate and no other societal change has changed it.

My first thought is that removing dead people was not the only provision of the bill.

This is textbook politics. Find one portion that should have been fine to address and totally ignore the more contentious provisions so that you can write a good “the other side is corrupt” article.

But I haven’t read the bill. And apparently neither has the original journalist or the OP.

I’ll give it a read. But it might be more efficient to see if anyone fact checked it in the comments.

Edit #1: apparently opposition votes felt that allowing dead people to vote is the mechanism for detecting voter fraud. The argument is they want to detect fraud rather than prevent it. That raises the question as to whether or not they have a history of allowing transparent auditing to detect fraud, or do they block attempts to detect it. I’ll keep reading.

How come I don’t ever see any women garbagewomen or construction workers

It’s obviously because the sanitation profession discriminates against women AND is one of those unique professions that would rather pay men higher wages to do the same job that women would do for less.

Not do away with cash bail, but something has to change. Judges have too much discretion.

---

Yes to doing away with cash bail. It has conditioned gullible citizens to believe money or lack thereof should be used for the purpose of incarceration. There is no evidence that whether or not someone can post cash bail has anything to do with whether or not someone shows up for court or prevents someone from committing additional crime.

The system needs to change to simply allow orders of detention without the need to come up with a dollar amount that would allow someone to be released.

The decision should simply come down to whether or not an arrestee should or should not be released on bond. The basis for that decision should be the best evidence available. No need to study or reinvent it. There’s a large body of research out there. We just need to use it.
