Leaving Mossadegh in power would have been a good idea, too.

Phat, you’ve let your blood sugar get out of control again, haven’t you?
At this rate you’ll be dead in a few years - if you manage that long.

I realise that Ashlii Babbit was a hero to you because she was trying to destroy the Constitution, but that doesn’t mean that her death wasn’t justified. And I’m not surprised you’d hate a patriotic American for doing his duty.

quote: I suppose you mean “truth bomb” to be a bomb that destroys the truth? And it’s funny how you equate telling the truth with rage.
quote: Really? How many of them were about violently overturning an election? In how many were the lives of the legislators at risk?
quote: It was a secured area. She was at the head of a violent mob. Unlike George Floyd who was already restrained and alone. How exactly were the security force meant to stop her and the mob without using firearms?
quote: What makes you think that there wasn’t an investigation? What makes you think there should have been a trial? There are plenty of police shootings that don’t lead to trials.
quote: Shooting into a crowd? The way I heard it Babbitt was the first one through - the “crowd” were still the other side of the door.
quote: At least we know for sure that you’re a racist - and probably a White Supremacist. Edited by PaulK, : Fix autocorrect “correction”

I’ve thought of him as “Marc of the Beast” for YEARS.

quote: And nobody got even mildly annoyed at that.
quote: Yawn. And I suppose you expect us to believe that every response was likely that. Cherry-picking only proves your dishonesty.
quote: That was the point of breaking into the building. The building where the legislators were certifying the election results. As even you must know.
quote: And from what I remember the police had a lot to do with that. But nice try at creating a false equivalence.
quote: So you insist that there were reasonable alternatives but you can’t think of any. It’s not exactly like the George Floyd case where the cop could have stopped kneeling on his neck and used approved restraint techniques instead.
quote: So you haven’t bothered to look. But since it would be routine it’s hardly likely that there was no investigation - and Wikipedia mentions it. Here’s the DoJ statementIt explains why there was no trial. Based on that investigation, officials determined that there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution quote:I think you’ll find that there are quite a lot that don’t end in trials. The “high profile” cases are generally those that are pretty shocking. quote: Then I guess you ought to blame your news sources for neglecting to inform you. You seem to know less about it than everyone here.
quote: So I “heard it wrong” because my description was far more accurate than yours.
quote: Since your “point” was just speculation and smears, while I stated an obvious fact I don’t think you have any claim on the moral high ground.

I think you’re being unfair to Sheldon.

quote: That’s a lie. Nobody - except you, perhaps - was at all upset that Michael Byrd was still alive. Derek Chauvin is still alive, too. Here’s the entirety of my reply to your message:
I realise that Ashlii Babbit was a hero to you because she was trying to destroy the Constitution, but that doesn’t mean that her death wasn’t justified. And I’m not surprised you’d hate a patriotic American for doing his duty. Which, of course anyone can see if they follow the links.
quote: If you intentionally choose the most extreme examples and try to pass them off as representative of course you are cherry-picking.
quote: Obviously the point was to prevent the certification of the election. That’s what Trump was encouraging them to do.
quote: Which is really odd when - so far as anyone can tell - none of those things happened to any great extent. And there are plenty of worse things done by the Republican side.
quote: Riot compared to insurrection - with an imminent threat to the legislators. So yes, a false equivalence.
quote: I don’t think we can count on the violent mob behaving rationally, because if they were they wouldn’t have been smashing their way into a secured area in the first place. I don’t see that Byrd could have assumed that none of the rioters had guns either.Letting the rioters through the door seems a pretty obvious mistake - giving up the defensive advantage of the choke point. So, I don’t think your option is sensible. quote: It seems a pretty clear case of justified homicide - especially compared to some. Daniel Pantaleo was never charged for killing Eric Garner either.

A question Phat. How can anyone who lived through the ‘70s think there’s an inflation crisis now?
I’ll add that the increasing need for qualifications is not that new. Even well-paid jobs going to India is not that new (I had a job - with a U.S. company - sent to India more than 10 years ago, so I’m in a position to know). I’ll also note that your spending priorities put you very much on the “liberal” side. The “conservatives” - and even actual conservatives - very much want to trim that spending. Faith was openly complaining about it, if you remember.

Seems to have a lot more to do with the US health system than it has to do with marriage.
