Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify - "Sometime in the future"

Re: Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify - "Sometime in the future"


ZERO PROOF of any death threats....just her CLAIMS....seems to be a familiar pattern.

You're being tossed in my basket of people who will doubt any evidence, reject any truths, and grasp onto thin straws of fake news.

It has been PROVEN that Trump has lied more than 5,000 times and that tally was a week ago, it's probably up a few hundred by now. BUT.... you believe every single one of those lies without one tiny shred of evidence that they're true.

Actually , unlike you (apparently) , I ACTUALLY READ YOUR LINKS, and, as I said, ZERO PROOF of any threats, just her "claims".


"You're being tossed in the basket" of leftists who believe any BULL**** CLAIM, no matter HOW DUBIOUS (like "I forgot where and when I was sexually assaulted" ), as long as it SERVES THE AGENDA.

Re: Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify - "Sometime in the future"

This woman is being threatened with death, and these people are likely racists, and to me, that means they are nasty people.

But I can't just make an assertion that these people are likely racists, I needed to provide very strong evidence for such a claim. So I provide a link which has links to articles published in two prestigious peer reviewed journals:

Research Finds That Racism, Sexism, and Status Fears Drove Trump Voters


Feel free to refute either study. As I've mentioned before...Pro-Tip: "Nuh uh!" is not an acceptable refutation of a peer reviewed journal article.

I don't need to "refute" anything. All I know, and all I need to know, is that nobody knows what truly motivates other people to do certain things. Nobody. And it's because nobody can read someone else' mind. Not even scientists. In fact, I already brought this up in that other thread where you plastered this link all over. So why do you still keep pedaling this nonsense? Don't you have any intellectual honesty at all?

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is "echo chamber noise for those that want to believe it."? You are so very very wrong, this is the second most cited journal in the world. Please look up "cited" so you understand what this means.

First of all, even respected scientists can still make "echo chamber noise". Secondly, you are committing a logical fallacy, namely, appeal to authority. You quote the findings of supposedly respected scientists and then just assume everything they say is gospel truth. This tells me you don't know how to think for yourself.

So far your entire argument is "NUH UH!!!", while my argument is supported by some of the best sources available in the world.

Lol. Your "best sources" are essentially saying they can read other people's minds. I feel embarrassed for them. And for you, as well.

Well no, you're entirely wrong again and if you actually DID read my comment on other threads you would clearly see that I'm all for fairness on everyone's part and believe in the rule of law that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. So trying to make me out to be someone that is making things up and I am not that at all What I clearly said and will repeat is that she was meeting with the FBI to discuss death threats she CLAIMS she has received and if an educated woman thinks she can make false claims about threats and then go ahead and seek the help of the FBI and get away with it then you've completely run out of any critical thinking skills you might have had at one time.
 
Re: Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify - "Sometime in the future"

You don't know that and none of us ever will. But he deserved the chance just the same and was not given it .

No I think Obama had screwed up the court more than enough by that time.

Ok...please QUOTE (from your links) THE PROOF SHE PROVIDED of "DEATH THREATS", other than JUST HER STATEMENTS....I see that you have no concept what "critical thinking actually is.
 
Re: Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify - "Sometime in the future"

Ok...please QUTE THE PROOF SHE PROVIDED of "DEATH THREATS"....I see that you have no concept what "critical thinking actually is.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about, nor do you have the slightest sense of what critical thinking entails. If I was an FBI agent that was taking her statement in San Francisco, THEN I could tell you specifically, but since I wasn't, I'll trust that the FBI knows. (duh)

Yeah...which explains why YOU CANNOT CITE A SINGLE SHRED OF PROOF OF HER BEING THREATENED, as your links PROVIDE NONE.



Don't worry, I'm sure your childish attempt to deflect from that embarrassing FACT fooled everyone. :roll:

You're just instinctual denying anything for some odd reason. Why do you need to see, hear, touch and taste the threats she received IN PRIVATE on social media, through phone calls, emails, etc? Don't you understand that to do an "investigation" details can't be made public until AFTER the FBI completes their investigation. ....really....
 
Re: Christine Blasey Ford opened the possibility she would testify - "Sometime in the future"

Look missy, you do NOT get to set how this works. Either Testify or withdraw your claims.

"Look, missy." The patriarchally diminutive language and tone -- "missy," especially when it's not a nickname and thus capitalized, is, and long has been, an English equivalent to "ito/ita" in Spanish -- of that address reflects one of the types of patronizing attitudes that women have been railing against. You are essentially calling a woman who has multiple graduate degrees, at least one published scholarly book, and multiple published papers a child.

Cry moar? My Grandmother would say that when I was little, along with "Okay Buster Brown" it means nothing that you are implying, take your SJW snowflaking and go somewhere else.

How droll of you, in response to my remarks above, to cite how your grandmother addressed you when you were a boy, and declare, therefore, that it's okay that you use a similar modality in referring to an accomplished adult who is unrelated to you.

Within one's family, there's a level of love, concern, familiarity and custom that doesn't exist between/among those individuals and non-family members. Between one close relative and another, many things individuals might say haven't the derogatory connotations they do in extra-familial contexts. Family members have myriad terms of endearment and address that are pejorative when those same individuals apply those terms to non-family members, most especially strangers.

I really don't care that a self-righteous SJW thinks that I "don't know how English works". Secondly, assuming that my English proficiency truly is lacking (which would only be expected seeing as how English is not my first language), then why don't clarify what you truly meant by that post of yours? It appears to me you are having a huge problem with the OP just because she used the word "missy" and for some reason you just reacted to it very strongly. Why do you care so much whether someone wants to address a woman as a "missy"? Can you tell me why?

Even if this is true, how is it any of your business that Renae wanted to use "missy" to address a grown woman/a stranger?

AFAIK, no "self-righteous SJW" has bid you to care about what s/he thinks of your adeptness with how English works; thus that you don't care what any such individual(s) thinks is inconsequential. By all means and to your heart's content, however, do avail yourself of tilting of as many windmills as you see fit.

  1. [*=1]The post to which you responded (post 112) contains links that clarify connotative aspect of what I meant.
    [*=1]I wasn't dictating anything. I was applying extant standard English denotations and connotations associated with the word "missy." (See also post 118.)

Pink + Tan:
Inasmuch as English isn't your first language, I shan't try to disabuse you of your mistaken notion because I have no desire to be "ESOL-ly" and/or linguistically didactic. The content to which I've linked in post 112 and in this post provides the information needed to understand why your interpretation of my remarks in post 112 is errant. If there're specific passages in those links that confound you, if you neutrally ask me for clarification, I'll try to explain them and/or point you to better instructional websites that do so. (What is your first language?)

Similarly, the oversized "pink" text above mischaracterizes the nature of my remarks in post 112:


  • [*=1]"Having a huge problem" --> I haven't a problem, let alone a huge one, with how the OP-er address his remark. The OP-er's remarks are a reflection of his/her mindset. If s/he cares, s/he'll alter his dictional choices; if s/he doesn't car, s/he won't.

    In post 112, I explain the denotative and connotative implications of the OP-er's use of "missy" to address a grown woman. Although you've inferred that I have a problem with the OP-er's dictional choice, nothing in the post indicates whether I object or don't object to his/her having done so.
    [*=1]"Very strongly" --> My remarks were unequivocally yet neutrally phrased. Perhaps you're accustomed to English writers/speakers who use namby-pamby diction and syntax so as to afford themselves wiggle room, as it were, or because their command of English is weak? If you are, that is why you think my expositive remarks in post 112 reflect a "strong" reaction. To understand why my remarks are not "strong," as you put it, you must understand the key and subtle differences between observations and accusations. Look at post 112; nowhere in it will you a normative assertion of my sentiments about his/her having used "missy."
    [*=1]"Care so much" --> You've conflated sharing an observation with expressing an emotional interest. The two are not the same things.

You like to talk in a way that is difficult to understand, this much I can tell you. And I really don't think it's a problem on my end, because I can understand most of other people's posts reasonably well.
