    Health, you said

    “But with your obsession to putting down our president…”

    I will tell you why I oppose Trump (and his vehement supporters) so much

    Note: Not you, as you know I am quite fond of you. our conversations have been quite eye opening for me.

    I will elaborate with an example from Bret Stephens ( A conservative) who said the following recently at a Daniel PEarl memorial lecture:

    “Consider this recent exchange [Trump]

    To which the president replies:

    We are not a nation of logicians.

    … The president is responding to a claim of fact not by denying the fact, but by denying the claim that facts are supposed to have on an argument.

    This is my problem with Trump. Differences of opinion are critical to a democracy. Many dictatrorships have “elections” but with one candidate to choose from these are meaningless. While on most points I side with Democrats there are many many issues I side with Republicans. and that is healthy. Changing power every few years is a sign of a healthy democracy. Disagreement is good.

    However in order to have a difference of opinion we need to agree on baseline facts.

    for example there is a problem of mass shootings in the US. now soem feel more gun restrictions will help some feel arming more citizens will help. fine that is healthy. but if one where to argue that we have a lower mass shooting rate than other countries the discussion cant even begin.

    Trump ran (and won!) a campaign based on blatant falshoods. starting with his early claim of Mexico sending rapists and murderers etc… If we cant agree that that isnt true how can we ever solve anything.

    (While Hillary was no honest abe, the foundations of here campaign weren’t lies)

    Until Trump starts telling the truth it is critical to call him out, not to be numbed by his blatant disregard.

    As Stephens says in that same speech

    People have to earn respect. Calling Trump a “third grader” is insulting to third graders. If I had a third grader who treated people the way Trump does I would smack him upside the head (not literally, but thats beside the point). that he tricked millions to vote for him doesnt change that one bit.”

    That’s the problem with you liberals – you just don’t get it!

    IDK if some voters were tricked, most like his agenda!

    “Our president is responsible for American lives, not Canadian lives!”

    “I responded to that point already of course you ignored it as you always do and as Trump does when pointed out over and over how wrong almost everything he says is)

    Here is a reminder. YOU criticised Obama that he “couldn’t handle all the terrorism that occurred here and abroad!”

    IT seems earlier you viewed the job of President as handling Terrorism that occurs abroad. And I dont disagree. With Great power comes great responsibility.”

    I did respond to that – I said it wasn’t terrorism, but a terrorist act. Just like he doesn’t respond to homicides everyday in this country!

    But this isnt a dail occurance in Canada. As you acknowledged.

    But let me see if I get this straight

    Terrorism anywhere – Yhe Us President should handle

    Terrorist acts – only in America is it his job

    YY & Ubiq – (I’m being redundant.)

    “Sorry Health!, I don’t currently have access to any third graders, but there might be some CR readers who qualify. Can anybody explain how a terrorist act can not be terrorism? Apparently news it’s obvious”

    From Webster’s – “Terrorism – the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal”

    That guy in Canada was a lunatic! He couldn’t accomplish any goals.

    OTOH, the king of terrorism – Arafat was able to accomplish many goals!

    For instance, the world accepts another 2 state solution; disregarding the previous one (Palestine and Transjordan)!

    Now go back to your primary goal of putting down President Trump, with other complaints!

    What makes you say he’s a lunatic? He seems like a run of the mill white supremacist. He supported Marine Lepen and Donald Trump. He’s not being charged with terrorism simply because the government doesn’t think they can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

    The funny thing is – it’s not the alt-right that’s into all the violence recently! It’s the new called Bolsheviks aka liberal left.

    That’s why I said he’s just another lunatic. He doesn’t have a violent organization.

    Let me see if I get it. If somebody who commits an act of terror is a right winger or he “doesn’t have a violent organization,” he’s not a terrorist, so Timothy McVeigh was not a terrorist and neither are the lone-wolf Palestinians who attack Jewish targets. Is that what you’re saying?

A variety of different modifications can occur. The ubiquitin protein itself consists of 76 amino acids and has a molecular mass of about 8.5 kDa. Key features include its C-terminal tail and the 7 lysine residues. It is highly conserved among eukaryotic species: Human and yeast ubiquitin share 96% sequence identity.”

    ubiq- i get that you (both) enjoy this back and forth and i can barely read it all, let alone comment on the content but please allow me a comment –

    firstly, this particular set of utterances:

    Your problem is that your Idol Obama couldn’t say Islam and terrorist together” followed by “It’s not saying them together, it’s showing the terrorists that we’ll do anything to prevent your ideology”

    really does make sense in terms of what it means and how that whole topic went down with obama. it is just not something obama supporters/trump oposers would understand/agree to/admit.

    which kind of brings me to my next point that even though you two are experiencing an exaggerated level of this next point, i really have found this :

    I dont think I’m going to convince him, i just find it fascinating when people are proven wrong and instead of retracting double down

    to be true regarding obama and hilary supporters as well. I am not a trump supporter, but i am an obama/clinton opposer and i find myself reacting with exactly that thought when i hear sane, respected posters defend them in the face of what is so obvious to me and others. I don’t expect you to agree, or even see it, but you may not want to laugh quite so hard or think of yourself or your friends as quite as exempt from such behavior.

    Lastly, regarding that math thread, it is funny to me to see that other perspective. when you say that something “has been explained”, what criterion are you using to expect i should assume something is true because someone explained it. I would need to check into it to find out if their “100% ironclad” opinion really is so. and sometimes its not.

    just some things rolling around in my head while reading your post. I thought of your “arguments” with health as something between the two of you (albiet in public), but when i heard your “take” on it, it jarred me. sounded more demeaning than fun between two people.

    i could be wrong.

    “Obama! Now why do you think that is?!?”

    I believe I already told you no fewer than 3 times. Dubya too avoided the phrase for the same reason “Americans understand we fight not a religion…Ours is not a campaign against the Muslim faith. Ours is a campaign against evil”

    “Now you’re changing the topic”

    Lol you are tha master at changing topics (this is a thread about Trump’s (initial) refusal to answer a simple direct question. you have managed to throw in all sorts of inaccurate and/or irelvvant “Thoughts” (much like your friend Trump)

    This point is not off topic. I am pointing out to you that you wouldnt like it if your religion was used to color ideas yu disagreed with (at least I assume you dont like, it as you didnt actually answer my question, as usual)

    “Iraq would have begged us to help them to defend themselves against ISIS”

    A. What religion do the majority of IRaqis practice?

    B. Last I checked Iraq doesnt border the US”

    Deja vu?

    “I said that the reason we were safer under Obama than Bush, was because Clinton ignored any Islamic threat!

    Lol you keep saying the same thing That were safe under Obama thanks to Clinton. while nonsensical, of course I will let it slide

    “i can barely read it all”

    Dont its pretty silly,

    “it is just not something obama supporters/trump oposers would understand/agree to/admit.”

    Not quite, I explained why Obama avoided the term, and then Health changed his mind and said the term wasnt an issue, of course he then changed back again.

    “to be true regarding obama and hilary supporters as well.”

    Oh one hundered percent correct! But I find it more true with Trump supporters. Trump ran a campaign built on falsehoods. while Hilary is without question a liar, the foundations of her political career wasnt conspiracy theroires about where people were born or lies regarding Mexican rapists abd getting MExico to pay for a wall that will never get built.

    Or as Gingrich said regarding the GOP convention when challenged that crime was down he replied ” Though the statistics may show that It doesn’t feel that way” (Im paraphrasing) I found this astounding that he openly admitted facts arent as important. Of course we have only seen more of this leading to “alternative facts”

    ” i find myself reacting with exactly that thought when i hear sane, respected posters defend them in the face of what is so obvious to me and others.”

    again I am not talking about a difference of opinion. That I respect and view as healthy. IT is disagreement in fact that I find entertaining. such as a poster claiming a source for a EMS guidline that was obiously made up or a SCOTUS case that never happened.

    I get saying Obama was wrong for avoiding the phrase “islamic terrorsim” that isnt my (main argument) Reasonable peope can disagree. But then deciding that it wasnt an issue that confuses me. OR not criticizing Bush for the same.

    “or your friends as quite as exempt from such behavior.”

    My friends are all solidly in your camp to one degree or other.

    “Lastly, regarding that math thread,…”

    They dont have access to google? If you are unsure go google. That is ok too. That is how we learn more. Always inquire. Im not expecting anyone to believe everything (or anything) I say. but challenge it. say PEMDAS doesn’t always apply because xyz (and then of course We’d google that too)

    Let me ask you a question – Do you even know what the Muslim religion preaches about other religions? I think Not!

    My advice to you is to read – Time Immorial from Joan Peters!

    “A. What religion do the majority of IRaqis practice?

    B. Last I checked Iraq doesnt border the US”

    Deja vu?”

    You come here pretending you’re the epitome of intelligence, but you can’t understand my simple point!

    Of course they’re Muslims, but we don’t need them for allies. We should be their partners, but we don’t need them – they need us!

    And we don’t need the other Muslim countries.

    “I said that the reason we were safer under Obama than Bush, was because Clinton ignored any Islamic threat!

    “Lol you keep saying the same thing That were safe under Obama thanks to Clinton. while nonsensical, of course I will let it slide”

    For the last time, the country was not safe under Bush because of his predecessor named Clinton. If anything – the reason that we didn’t have too many terrorist attacks under Obama, was because Bush taught the world, that the US is now serious about dealing with terrorism!

    LOL!

    Because you couldn’t find it – so it doesn’t exist?!?

    “Let me ask you a question – Do you even know what the Muslim religion preaches about other religions?… joan Peters

    Of course I do, and I have read Peters. I never meant to insinuate Islam was a peaceful religion. all I said was 1) saying “Islamic Terrorism” doesnt help any and 2) It is insulting to some and can hurt/

    “You come here pretending you’re the epitome of intelligence”

    I never pretended that. Though kudos to you for picking up on it.

    “we don’t need them for allies. We should be their partners,”

    got it! PArtners not allies, acts of terrorism not terrorists.

    Tell me are you often partners with people who insult your religion?

    “And we don’t need the other Muslim countries.”

    no of course not. We will tunnel to IRaq and fuel with oil from our friends in Russia and Venezuella.

    “For the last time…”

    while that may be what you menat this is the first time youve said that.

    “For 2 million dollars, I’ll give you the case that went to the US Supreme Court!”

    Nah I’m good.

    But for one million dollars I’ll sell you a bridge. though I should warn you the EMS on the bridge only follows actual EMS protocols not imaginary ones
