WHAT ARE WE YELLING ABOUT?!?!?

I read that as a sigh of disappointment. Which scares me.

That does not make sense.

Everything you said could be applied to the WWII case as well. And Iraq was only tangentially related to 9/11 so I don't know why you bring up the fact it was not related since we didn't invade Iraq because of that.

It's also a 100% true fact.

No, it's not, as I already demonstrated in my previous post.

But not on Social Security. The Social Security program allowed borrowing against its assets. They must be paid back.

They must not, they can not, and they will not.

It's not hating, just not caring about them.

Oh, well, that makes the demagougery all fine and dandy, then.

You also found Joe Lieberman delivered a keynote speech at the republican national convention. Would you also argue that was a bipartisan event based on him attending?

Yes.

Those votes all broke dramatically along party lines. You calling them bipartisan because a few voters went across the lines is disingenuous.

It's not just a few voterss. Again, you ignore the Senate votes because it suits your narrative.

Ditto for you on the conservative side. The difference is my arguments are based on factual data.

I don't have a conservative side. I'm a moderate. And I've already shown how your arguments are not based on factual data and are fundamentally flawed.

"The original proposal for a commission came from bipartisan legislation that would have required Congress to vote on its recommendations as presented, without any amendment. In January 2010, that bill failed in the Senate by a vote of 53–46, when six Republicans who had co-sponsored it nevertheless voted against it."

Umm, you seem completely uninformed on this issue. That vote was for creating the commission, not on implementing its conclusions. Obama set up the commission anyway.

Until you start admitting your errors there's nothing more for us to talk about.

Are you suggesting we had no options other than to invade Iraq and Afghanistan?

In the same sense that the US had no good options other than to invade Europe, Africa, and the Pacific islands, yes.

If we continue down the same paths without change, they would create major problems. But the Social Security program, is by law, is self-funding and not able to contribute one cent to the deficit.

This is a 100% misleading liberal talking point. The "self-funding" part of Social Security HAS BEEN SPENT. Congress has spent it and we CAN'T afford to pay it all back. In this way it not only contributes to the deificit -- the amount we have to pay back in any reform scenario --- but we have to pay the interest on the IOU's we've given Social Security.

And Medicare also need reforms but does not need to be abandoned.

Unfortunately any attempt to reform it results in partisan calls of Republicans hating the sick and poor.

That's simply not true.

That is true. You'll find Democrats voting "yes" on all of those things, which makes in bipartisan. You also need to look at the Senate as well as the House.

Frankly the misleading nature of your responses to my various points makes me suspect you're a partisan liberal who isn't interested in practical moderate solutions where both sides of the aisle sacrifice for the benefit of the entire country.

As I recall, he eventually said he like aspects of it but though it relied too much on cuts to social programs and not enough on increased revenue. He did not abandon it. He did not run away from it. He just used critical thinking and decided to not accept it as-is.

He proposed no alternative and simply badmouthed it. He didn't try to get it voted on. He ran away from it.

You're correct, but wrong about the cause. The two unelective wars, Medicare Part D, the Bush tax cuts, etc. could all be eliminated and Medicare and Social Security still kill the budget.

It's also important to note that all of the above had bipartisan above, and other than removing some of the Bush tax cuts, Obama isn't proposing anything that would fix the budget problems. Simpson-Bowles gave him the answer (not the best answer, but a good one) and he ran away from it. His own commission.

The biggest lesson to draw from Harry Potter is that adults lie and can't be trusted, so there's no reason to believe anything they said as 100% truthful.

My biggest issue with inception is that Cobb makes a huge deal about always spinning his totem after an inception to make sure he's in reality. Yet in the scene where Ariadne sneaks into Cobb's inception and finds out about his dead wife, Cobb never spins the top after waking up, and they immediately go to work on their plan. The entire second half of the movie could be all one inception.

Much of what you probably think is CG in Jurassic Park is actually animatronics. The scenes that look CG (like the first time they see the brontos) are CG.

Unfortunately NASA cancelled the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, so they'll have to keep relying primarily on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for data link. Bandwidth is going to be a serious issue in the coming years.

Fail your commercial airline pilot exam once: Bye $200,000 education, hello career as a stewardess.

This is simply not true. Plenty of commercial pilots fail the exam, even multiple times. Most employers will ask to list and explain why you failed, though. But it's not an automatic disqualification.

I wouldn't say QM proves free will, but it does disprove determinism. I believe in free will, though, and that the mind is more than just a mechanism.
