the internet is all about posting controversial comments - I feel I haven't done my fair share - that makes me feel jealous

so I've decided to post some
most of the time controversial posts are backed up by flimsy arguments and/or shady sources

not mine - my comments stand alone on their own two feet - they're just right - when you're right you don't need to explain yourself

here goes:







brick houses aren't stronger than wood frame houses

vegetables aren't good for you

exercise can't help you in any way

there's nothing wrong with being 75 pounds overweight

women can dunk just as good as men

sports builds character

referees don't favor the home team

Capitalism means everybody gets a nice big slice of the pie

our Criminal Justice system is a shining example that the whole world should follow

the U.S. is the best at everything

Trump always tells the truth. that's why a lot of people don't like him - they can't stand to hear the truth

the WALL will solve all of our immigration issues

rock music is almost always just simple three chord stuff

blues music is all about feeling bad because of racism

all lawyers are really smart

politicians became politicians because they want to help people. deep inside, they feel they have a mission to serve

your religion, whatever it is - it's the best religion and the only one that's right

if a person has a high position in Government - you can trust that person

Big Business doesn't need regulation - you can trust that they will do the right thing because if they didn't they could get sued





that's enough for now.......more coming.........................(-:\

don't start boring, stupid threads, please

Nothing controversial about this. True, with the possible exception of some one-chord stuff.

Start as many threads as you like; the delta-cost of the extra electrons is minimal. Steely Dan and Love Story threads will be adjudged on a case-by-case basis.

Correct, I legally own the rights to starting boring stupid threads in the Lounge.

that's true, he does

Before birthing this thread you should have read: The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce; An Inquiry Concerning Human Understanding, by David Hume; and Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, by Ludwig Wittgenstein.

With no firm foundation your house of cards collapses easily.

If you really need a firm foundation try reading “Euro Beauties Naked 1979-1980”

I'm struggling with the difference between adjudged and judged.

thanks Phat - I will do that - but I can't promise I will live up to the high standards always shown in Dominic's postings


but I will try - under the philosophy - always shoot for the top of the mountain

Two out of three ain't bad.

Yeah, always thought Hume had problems expressing himself.
