Try arguing against my actual statement, not your retarded "easy to argue against" modified version.
To state my point again: "there's a distinct possibility that interstellar travel is incredibly impractical."
If you're looking for an explanation as to why no alien species has (recently enough) dedicated incredible resources to coming here and personally shaking your hand to assure you we aren't alone in the universe, it's entirely possible that's it's just plain impractical.

Nobody is actually prevented from leaving their house, and all states are reopening, Karen.

Not him, but...
That's some serious strawman bullshit right there.
No wonder nobody likes you.

When did I say anything about not creating a measuring system???

>>9191832
>if races don't exist?
That's a strawman.
The liberal claim is "race is a social construct".
Car insurance is a social construct, but it certainly exists.
Besides, racism is dependent on the racist seeing people as divided into certain arbitrary groups.
Someone accusing someone else of racism might believe "there's no such thing as race".

Try to keep up.

Apparently "somebody" claims we're tackling world poverty by importing a million immigrants.

We've already been over that, but here's some light reading for you.

>why you'd prefer jihadis to hold Syria
That's a strawman. Even Hillary was fighting ISIS, we just don't want to hand Syria to Putin.

>Quantum mechanics vs determinism is a side-show.
It's the realists that keep bringing it up.

>Neither of those is libertarian free will. Surely you agree.
I'm not familiar with the definition of "libertarian free will".
I just Googled it, and it looks like a case of moving the goalposts.
It's a very limiting definition of free will, apparently designed to undermine the arguments for free will.
So it also seems like a strawman.

>Are you defending libertarian free will?
OK, you *did* move the goalposts, but you're really pushing the strawman angle.
So I'll post my "strawman" jpeg, even though "movingthegoalposts.jpg" seems relevant too.

>>8121460
>So you admit that human thought processes are deterministic biological processes in the brain?
Have you read anything I've posted, or are you just fighting strawmen?
First: the universe is NOT deterministic (which is a good thing, because the Newtonian-Brownian model is time reversible, and would fuck with causality and the "arrow of time").
Second: What I've been saying all along is we don't understand the underlying mechanics of thought.
Third: Calling it "deterministic biological processes in the brain" can't rule out free will any more than it rules out consciousness itself.

Solve the hard problem of consciousness, then we'll talk.

First off, you're a douchebag for manufacturing quotes.
I didn't say the things you're quoting.
Secondly, if you're so right, why ARE people living longer?
Thirdly, you didn't address anything I actually said, like for instance medicine (including radiation therapy) DOES benefit people greatly, as does the "poison" in the drinking water.

>The water I use to shower, drink and wash my hands doesn't come near those fields
Unless you drink rainwater, your tap water comes from agricultural runoff.
And eve if you DO drink rainwater, somebody else has to drink/cook/shower in agricultural runoff.

>So GMOs can grow in places where there is no soil, water and minerals ?
Now THAT'S a strawman.

>>7601162
>You jus claimed that people who use computers, airplanes, iphones, microwaves, and cars every day are all anti-technology.
Are you claiming that all the people who use this tech are anti-GMO?
And yes, by the way, I am claiming that people who are opposed to GMO are opposed to that particular technology.
What c-r-a-z-y stuff!

>back it up with something to support how every supermarket chain in the world uses artifical vegetables.
No store bought veggies are natural since they were all bred into their current forms.
There are no wild forms of broccoli, corn, carrots, etc.
Go find a cauliflower growing wild.
While there are wild onions for instance, they're nothing like store-bought onions.

>hard to understand some peoples relentless effort to attack the people who likes natural food.
Are you smoking crack?
For the second time: everybody likes non-GMO foods.
The ONLY distinguishing characteristic of the anti-GMO people is that they're against GMO's, NOT that they like non-GMO's.

>People prefer safe and natural over unnatural. Pretty basic concept.
Except that the non-GMO's aren't natural, and they certainly aren't safe compared to GMO's.

>>7601176
>Since ducks are animals, not eating ducks is being a vegetarian. No strawman here.
I'm saying "since ducks are animals, being anti-duck is being against a particular animal".

No-one is claiming anti-GMO'ers are opposed to ALL technology.
You the strawman, baby.

>>7544735
>prove that human races do not exist.
That's a strawman.
No-one is claiming races don't exist, just that where to sub-divide the human race is an arbitrary, societal distinction.
Are Jews, sand-niggers, and Indians white?
They are all Caucasians...
What about Russians?
Are all sub-sarahans a single race, or are there up to 6?
