People are simply asking you to justify your position.

Some are, many are not. They are condescending towards him and they are ridiculing him. Asking him to justify his position is one thing, ganging up on him and ridiculing him is another thing. I don't agree with his view on Trump, but I can see where he is coming from with the echo chamber point.

Just realised it was you who said this.

The fecking irony :lol: "I don't like you disagreeing with me so you're an echo chamber and I'm leaving". Come on...

There is no irony, though. It's not that people are disagreeing with him, it's that people are attacking him. Is it really so hard to understand that people do not like to participate in discussions when they have more than half a dozen people attacking them with ridicule? Come on...
 
How so? I mean there is no point on doing so (who would like to join an organization who is racist towards atheists), but still an atheist can lie and join freemasonry.

Anyway, in Washington's case is quite sure that he believed in God, cause pretty much everyone back then believed in a deity.
First off... There's no such thing as being "racist toward atheists" because atheist isn't a race.

Secondly... There's a reason other than just "we're gonna be prejudiced".
 
Because you just informed me that that even exists, and because I know that I'll never be able to have it in my life I don't like you anymore.

Aww feck, apologies dude.

It's just pizza with bacon, ground beef and double cheese, preferably mozza and cheddar. Maybe there's hope for you?
 
Not so much a debunking, just a warning that what it's trying to do is very, very difficult, and the extremely capable and well financed Obama team tried something similar in 2012 and it almost drove them crazy with the early results it gave.

Thank you.
 
So Trumps throwing his dummy out of the pram over Nevada as been rejected.

Ok, they don't allow atheists, call it whatever. So, I don't know why an atheist would like to join a group who doesn't allow atheists to join. I mean, you can do that for shit and giggles but what's the point on doing that?!
 
Thank you.
No worries, completely avoiding it myself so I don't get hung up on how good/bad it's looking but it's probably still an interesting watch as long as you know the cons.

No clue.

From my understanding though, the French Rite does allow atheists. The other lodges don't get along with the French Rite for that reason.
 
According to NPR news at 10 o'clock, the intimidation of voters in Florida hasn't been as abd as feared. Although some cards have been driving by with Confederate flags waving.

Sounds like a high turnout, although this is being complicated by long lines at polling stations.


ETA: And what are known as Express Voting Machines have been breaking down parts of GA.
 
CNN are a joke, they have a countdown for their exit poll and when it has run down they just have a "Breaking news Soon: First CNN exit polling". And they replaced the old countdown with a new one for when the polls close:lol:

That's why I asked, to know if someone had a better sense of the quality of the data, which is often more crucial to know than the data itself.

I, and many others, aren't attacking him personally. As for ridiculing his point of view, however...thinking Trump is a good idea for president is a belief that merits ridicule, in my humble opinion.

I haven't really seen personal attacks, I agree that those are generally unsavoury. If someone is being a numpty sometimes they deserve to be called a numpty, though.
 
What channels are people in the UK watching? I don't really know who is good in the US, I looked for MSNBC because I had the impression they were good but I couldn't find them on Sky. I don't want to watch UK coverage so I'm sat on CNN right now. Saving Fox for after Hillary wins.

Can't you just imagine some young analyst that runs software or a spreadsheet getting yelled at while he scrambles to deliver the numbers?

CNN.. what a bunch of cnuts.. had a ticker countdown to release exit poll numbers .. it ran down.. and instead of giving the numbers they have replaced it with a poll close countdown. :rolleyes:

:mad:
 
The point about lying, the key point really, is that they don't know you've lied. They don't actually have mystical mind-reading powers.

It's not about what the others may or may not know of you. It's more for yourself. Lying to yourself in that regard does no benefit to you in those sorts of groups. That's about all I can really say about it.
