You know this how ? Because you have SWAT squads. :roll: You know this how ? Which bit of the logic didn't you get? Which I disagree with. ... So are you saying you are taught that the reason why your revolution was successful was because the French Navy tied up the British one and they funded your...

I did. Based on your comments: nope. Point out what I missed? The vast majority of your police are ill-trained in the use of firearms in a combat situation. You know this how ? Because your police force does not train the bulk of your gun-carrying officers in combat training, its why you have SWAT ...

Play with words... act as if there will be a vaccine around or some medicine to soften the sickness. Delay it might result in being, good enough. Just as long as one take the responsibility not to be infected or infect. Not really sure what you are saying but over here the reason for the lockdown w...

This is a prime example of Quine's criticism of analyticity - it's circular. Any contingent statement X can be turned into a yes/no question: "Is X true?" Don't see how? It's been a very long time since I read Two Dogmas but from what I remember is that he objected to the analytic/synthet...

You need to read what I posted. I did. The vast majority of your police are ill-trained in the use of firearms in a combat situation. Those who have such training will not have squads trained to the same standard so will not be effective. This idea that your guns keep you free from an oppressive go...

Trump reluctantly went along with some of the left's proposals, while rejecting others. It's primarily the left that's pushing for this shit. Look at populist president Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, he completely rejected their bullshit. The response will vary by country and Brazil can afford to I gues...

And I'm bettin' a goodly chunk of those well-trained, well-armed, experienced folks will be fillin' out the already swollen ranks of the militia. Military (current and former), police officers (current and former), Sheriffs and deputies (current and former): not all are robotic follow any order giv...

Not to do with numbers but better training, better firepower and combat experience along with squad loyalty. I'll bet on two full squads of US infantry against a much larger number of unregulated militia men any day of the week.

You can't avoid this disease this will only happen if there is a vaccine. All you can do is to try and delay the spread so your health services dont collapse.

For a formalist mathematical system where truth is analytical (truth is based on their logical form), would you say that X being consistent means X is true (i.e. truth = consistency)? Or would consistency be a necessary/sufficient condition of truth (i.e. everything that's true must be consistent, ...

Because advertising jingles work.

The left or establishment has created a new class of people, the sick . The sick have less rights than the healthy . They can be forcibly quarantined and treated . And assuming everyone is sick until proven healthy, is every bit as insane as assuming everyone is guilty until proven innocent. The po...

Catch what? That your 'classified' Chinese document was bullshit, sure. That you now claim that you spread what you know is fake news for fun is more the issue, although personally given muct of what you've posted on this forum I find your claim hard to believe.

But did you catch it?

Nah, you probably dropped the ball, unlike you I'm a good catcher. I can detect fake news from 3 zillion miles away...

And then proceed to spread it.
