Right you are. Facts don't work. Logical argument doesn't work. Science doesn't work. Verification of the 500 lies or so the buffoon tells each day doesn't work. In short, nothing works for those...

🤗129303; A nice fact-based refutation. Unfortunately, we've entered into an era of fact free debate, in which what one "feels," or "knows in his heart to be true," is equivalent to fact, science, or...

Well, Mencken was right when he said, to paraphrase him: "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American voter. " The great genius of the current breed of republicans is...

So, here's a presentation of data prepared by the WEF; not exactly a group of rabid liberals frothing at the mouth to attack Trump. Pretty sure the two things all of the other countries have in...

Actually, it depends on the criteria used to define the concept of "greatness" and the metrics used to measure each criterion. To the extent that those conducting the analyses were legitimate social...

While to rational folks, these arguments are compelling, in the end you're using "facts" and "science" to convince people who believe in neither. Facts are no longer undeniable in an era of...

Funny stuff. http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/many-in-nation-tired-of-explaining-things-to-idiots.

Thanks for presenting such a logical, fact-based argument. When the other side of the debate relies less of verifiable fact and argues from the "Never mind, I know what I know," perspective however,...

You're right, it's simply not worth the effort or time. People are either bright enough to read, understand and analyze facts and historical trends or they're not. Nothing you can say is going to...

I don't either, and I agree with your assessment. However, given that this country makes very little that the rest of the world actually wants--aside from OFWs--it's not really germane to this place...

I forgot to mention the complication of accurately calculating "value added. " Many products "imported" by the US and Europe in fact contain components exported from the US and Europe for assembly in...

Well, everything that comes out of his mouth, to the extent anyone can re-interpret it into standard English is pretty much nonsense. On the other hand, I just read the article which is pretty much...

LAW:

Isn't it nice that most of the guys who live here are the polar opposites of this guy and that you almost never have to listen to this type of poorly-espressed, semi-incoherent, baseless...

Bill, you might have seen, but you obviously failed to understand much or perhaps most of what you saw. First, I have met SH several times, and your perception of his motivations, his attitudes and...

As always, SH, you make perfect sense, and you raise a point that I forgot to mention. Once you've lived overseas for a certain period of time, be it in Asia, Europe or wherever, you just do not fit...

I don't want to get into a debate on patriotism or the political morality of the US versus anywhere else. I do think that the gist of Bill's argument is correct, and that the US does, in fact, act as...
