Eric continues to waste people's time, even as he complains that he doesn't want to waste his own time reading your arguments. Just pretend he doesn't exist. Of course, if no one responded to disingenuous nonsense in this thread, it would be a pretty dead thread, just people posting news about some fucked up thing that happened in the US, other people being like "yup, that's pretty fucked up" and Eric types screaming disingenuous non-arguments into the void.

Almost the perfect combo here. Almost.

What are people's thoughts regarding potential changes to social security? Whether it be the different fixes being proposed, entirely different fixes altogether, etc.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

The last video makes a bunch of points, but the main point is this:

Sundin doesn't want to watch the earlier vid and wants me to explain it, and that's seen as acceptable and legit.

Biden ducks and dodges a typical question, then flat out refuses, and it's acceptable and legit I'd assume based on the lack of outrage.

I post a vid and don't want to explain it because it's a bit long and in depth, which was the point in posting a vid, and that's unacceptable? Not to mention, worthy of being said to be wasting everyone's time and to be ignored by everyone? No outrage over that so far...

Putting aside several strawmen, again, all I am asking of you is to actually make a functional argument.

As for your video, who cares that Biden doesn't answer a trite question that he's likely answered 100x before? This seems to be one of your famous metaphors that makes no sense...

All I'm presenting is a vid for anyone to watch if they so wish.

As for your want for an explanation to start a verbal argument, there isn't enough evidence to prove he did something wrong beyond reasonable doubt, so it's an argument that couldn't be won, so why have it? No different than the Trump Ukraine call. But hey, knock yourself out.

I look forward to new posts that only give facts that are without question undeniable.

Hey US,

What's with your President's constant Twitter posts? Why is his native English significantly worse than my terrible English?
Are these two things linked?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Aside from that one time in the other thread, I usually understand your English just fine. And with an error rate that low, I can't tell you from a native speaker just from your writing. Over here in the US our education system fails us all, and most people read, write, and speak at a middle school level (not sure how your education system works, but basically this means its like they absorbed 6 years of their education and then forgot the rest). Trump is rich and got every educational opportunity one could ask for handed to him on a silver platter, so he has no excuse here. Most of us just theorize it may be dementia setting in.

I am not sure why you brought "reasonable doubt" into this. That isn't what this discussion has ever been about. Debates on forums shouldn't be held to the same standard as criminal proceedings. I don't think that has ever really been a foundational part of persuasive arguments and it is certainly not something that I have suggested. Again, I am simply asking for an argument. As stated before, that requires but three simple phases: Hypothesis, evidence and explanation. These facets remain fundamental even when discussing purely subjective matters.

You are acting like expecting an argument within a discussion on politics is some radical demand. It isn't. It is the bare minimum for a discussion. These strange implications are wholly unnecessary.

You Americans need to be more like Austria. When several months ago it came to light that the vice-chancellor can be bought, the government was dissolved and new elections were to be had. Said election was yesterday and the party of the corrupt politician (who of course had stepped down from all of his political positions several months ago) was the biggest loser, declining by ten percent points. That's a lot in a parliament that houses five parties.

But in America you have all those weird things going on. Like the Tennessee Titans who consistently defy everyone's expectations.

Isn't it likely that the party is still going to be in coalition with the government?

ÖVP + Greens seems more likely from what I've read, possibly anticipating what's going to happen in Germany come the next federal elections.

Generally if we are talking Republican SS plans (Decrease Social Security payouts due to decreasing funds) vs Democratic SS plans (Increase contributions into SS to allow payouts to remain the same or increase), I am in favor of the Democratic plan. I don't know much about the differences between specific Democratic plans though.
