  • Tim is absolutely brilliant.

  • He's dead-on! Absolutely about children knowing when they're being lied too. What keeps these kids from developing into open minded adults because the adults in their lives never had the courage to express these insecurities and doubts to them when they were growing up.

    What does Affirmative Action focus on? Mostly race and some gender(but in a multicultural society gender doesn't exist, it is all just white, black, brown and yellow etc).

    It doesn't matter how much of an argument you give in the defense of Affirmative Action, you can't bypass the FACT that it is a program that uses racial discrimination to somehow create representative equality(the greatest irony of all), and gender discrimination to somehow defeat sexism(also a laugh)

  • @ultimatetalesfan19 Nice post you've got going here. It would take a long time to discet, analyze, correct and respond to everything you just said. I have no illusions I have the skill set to help change your opinion, challenge your reasoning, or open your mind over the internet. To me, you lost the agruement (and your mind) with this one quote.

    "Affirmative Action is what creates racist societies also,... ....YOU WANT A RACIST SOCIETY."

    Please explain this one.

  • "when did he do that?

    I have watched all of his big lectures that I could find on here and never has he gotten close to doing anything of the sort."

    LMFAO!!! You know he writes books and articles as well, right. And I attended a lecture at the University of St. Thomas where he talked about the media and how it functions. Glad to know you don't watch FOX though.

  • @DaHonestAbe when did he do that?

    I have watched all of his big lectures that I could find on here and never has he gotten close to doing anything of the sort.

    Fox is news organization that pretends to be anything right wing related but sticks it to those viewers because they know that the right has nothing else they can watch, like CNN used to do before MSNBC and FOX came on the scene.

  • @ultimatetalesfan19 Actually, there is plenty to argue. Mainly the study in economic literature that shows it works. 200 independent studies that shows it's an effective policy. And affirmative action is more than racial. Legacy admission, athletic scholarships, nepotism. The argument for affirmative action and against it was done by Tim and Ward Connerly. Tim won handily. And the free market is nonsense. Never has been free, never will be. We live in a corporate monopoly.

  • @DaHonestAbe

    I am not emotional now at all really.

    Do you listen to talk radio? LOL

    Let's look at the argument for Affirmative Action and against it to find out whether I am right or wrong about this.The left(composing of the billionaires to the ghetto) believes that Affirmative Action is necessary in order to achieve 'equality' one day, therefore there is NO principle behind the argument, where as the right believes that Affirmative Action interferes with the free market system itself

    cont.

  • @ultimatetalesfan19 No block mentality here. I don't know either of you to say who is more intelligent than the other. I think there are intelligent people on the right. But I don't really know either of you to compare your intelligence. And white nationalism is not an intelligent title or ideology to me. Any more than anti racism is to you.

  • @ultimatetalesfan19 No, he wouldn't. He's easily deconstructed the "liberal media bias" nonsense that the right pushes. Especially after his interviews on mainstream stations. Never has been, never will be. It's nonsense pushed by people who feel FOX news is the epitome of what news should be. And that station has been proven to lie more regularly than the rest of the media (which also lies regularly.)

  • @DaHonestAbe

    sure it is. LOL

    I didn't say he did, I am saying he WOULD.
