And once again I will remind you that when you make a positive claim, and someone else requests you meet your Burden of Proof for that positive claim, and you can't/won't meet your B of P, that is NOT trolling. It's watching you display yet again you don't understand basic debating protocol. That is why you haven't won one 'debate' yet. You don't win debates by 'pontificating', you win debates by 'proving' your positive claims....not running from your positive claims. You should know this by now, as numerous others have pointed these 'debating' protocols to you repeatedly. Do you know what meeting Burden of Proof even is, and how B of P is met via typical debating protocol ?

Just can't help yourself, can you. Tell you what. Why don't you start a thread for a change? Put yourself out there, instead of just sniping at others.

Tell you what. When you stop running from meeting your Burden of Proof, and bragging about running from meeting your Burden of Proof, when others request it by stating 'I'm not your slave', then you will have taken a baby step in proper 'debating' protocol. Until then,unless you get 'debating' protocol basics down, you'll remain at the kiddie table while actual, seasoned, debaters, continue to dismantle your asinine 'arguments.'

Honestly, you don't even need to be a seasoned debater to look at the flaws in his arguments. Everything he says is total garbage.

I've never seen you do anything but troll on these threads. Never seen any substantive discussion on your part. At least I bring up topics and discuss issues. You don't.

Untrue. You win a debate by providing proof of your claims. Name some of those journalists.

You can't be a Christian if you are conservative. There is more to Christianity than just saying I am a Christian. The reason Christianity gets a bad name is because liars pretend to be Christian because it sounds good. There is no such thing as a modern day Conservative who is Christian.

Ah, conservatism. Always making people look for the tiniest thing to be outraged about while minimizing major problems in our world. :lol:

Murder, homelessness, hunger, disease, racism/sexism/hate, destruction of the planet aren't big problems. They are minor in comparison to real problem of the genitalia of the person in the stall next to you being different than yours.

This is a No True Scotsman fallacy. Not all Christians are conservative Christians.

No true Scotsman, or appeal to purity, is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect a universal generalization from counterexamples by changing the definition in an ad hoc fashion to exclude the counterexample.

You don't know what the NTS fallacy is. This is not it. If you don't have certain beliefs you are NOT a practicing Christian.

You wonder if Starbucks is run by a bunch of morons. Who in their right minds think that by allowing drug-users and bums to roam willy-nilly in your business, paying customers looking for a quiet table and a clean bathroom would stand for that?

coming in.

bums?

some people c annot help being homeless. I have known WORKING people who were homeless, most law abiding people you can meet (not saying all are but some are)

I actually started liking Starbucks a lot more when they showed compassion for homeless people. Most people just forget about them... or try to..

I suggest you read St. Luke 16:19

I do, however, see your point to some extent. There should be restrictions of some kind... like if staff KNOW that a particular person is messing up the restroom, that person should be barred but NOT people who are civilized... and believe it or not some "bums" are more civilized than people who have $$$$.. (Jeffrey Epstein comes to mind... Anthony Weiner... I could go on and on about rich people who are pigs...)

Note I did not use the word 'homeless'. Don't confuse homeless with beggars, for they are rarely the same.
