Which ones are both a.) true, and b.) damning?

They're all damning, you said half of them aren't true. That still leaves several things that are damning. Are you proud of any of those?

Are you going back on what you said you said half aren't true which means half are true. Or do you realize what you said?

I asked a question. I don't want to argue for/against something if we can/can't agree if it's a.) true, and b.) damning.

For example, why should I waste my time if we agree something is untrue? Why would I waste my time if we agree something is bad?

I already both answered your question and used your own post against you. Every single thing he said was damning. You said half of them aren't true. By simple math and logic that means half are true. So whichever ones you want to pick that aren't true it still leaves several true that make the state look bad. Again I asked you a question too, are you proud of any of the options he said about California? If so which ones? If none, then you agree they're all damning.

If you are saying each one is damning, then I'm waiting on which ones are true.

Why do you need my response you're the one who said half are not true thus you said half are true. Do you not know that half = 50%. When you said half are not true that means you're saying half were true. Plus he just responded with the answer of some of the ones that are true.

I'm not going to have a conversation with myself. That's why. Again, I'm not going to argue against X if we both agree X is untrue.

Are you ok? Are you on acid? You're not having a conversation with yourself there are others here having a conversation with you. You said half were not true, yet you won't say which is which yet you want me to for some reason. And then you claim you'd having a conversation with yourself if you answered. No it's called clarifying your own post.

They are all true, see the links I posted to each (above).

You have your answer though 3 posts BEFORE this one I'm quoting. With evidence.

Also I'll add one to the barrel:

California has a rather infamous problem with public pooping, resulting in the infamous POOP PATROL:

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea...-laughing-matter-SF-forming-Poop-13153517.php

I've seen many jokes about Florida, but California is really running hard on trying to be #1 in everything, especially being a national joke.

When I called it a cesspool I meant it as a joke. I guess it's not a joke.

If you want to have a conversation about a particular issue, please address the one(s) you believe are true. I'm not going to waste my time explaining why something is untrue when we both already agree it's untrue, for example. I want your point of view. That's how discourse works. A simple "I don't know which ones are true and untrue" would suffice.

Please understand people sometimes post something before seeing things posted right before it. Please also understand that those are two completely different people. I was addressing one, not the other. The question I asked was not answered by the person I was asking.

  • Legalized pot is good.
  • The decriminalization you're referring to is a recategorization of some felonies to misdemeanors.
  • SB 145 does nothing to legalize sex with kids.

Sodom and Gomorrah being expelled from the US would be great. Both would collapse and then you could bring in the bulldozers a year or two later and pave over the thing and re-zone it for some other type of use.

We'd have to make more borders though and have a whole new illegals problem.

What in the f$&^ are you smoking that makes you this big a liar?

You made TWO replies after that, and BEFORE he OR I even reminded you. YOU are tunnel visioning like a child, that or you're doing your damnedest to ignore any and all logic. You are not taking ANYTHING seriously, [sarcasm]and I do adore how you fail to address the Poop Patrol argument I brought to the table. Why you must be the wisest man on earth to not address damning things.[/sarcasm]


I'ma inb4 and post this before Lacius has a chance to reply to my Poop Patrol statement, I'm going to guess what he's going to say, and respond in advance with:

"California wouldn't have poop problems if the homeless rate
wasn't the literal worst in the country. I wonder why?

Ooh, ooh, wait, I know, maybe it's the #1 highest taxed state in the country?
https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/highest-taxed-states

Maybe it's also the fact California, like New York, are SUPER DENSELY POPULATED zones wherein the general costs of living, purchasing a house, etc, are absofuckinglutely absurdly high: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-expensive-states-to-live-in

Honestly, I said it before and I'll say it again - California's a joke. I would hazard to guess the only reason EITHER state are still afloat at all's the absurd taxes, and the people who just don't know how bad they really have it.

I follow a New York Computer Repairman named Louis Rossman on Youtube, and there's companies there that have been shut down since before C-19, and even now they are trying to sell these locations for the SAME PRICE AS BEFORE COVID, and usually at an absurd, gouging level of price. I wouldn't doubt California's ANY different.

  1. I didn't see the post until just before I responded to it. Things get hectic when I'm having active conversations with 3 or more people. I posted a response, got one very quickly after, then responded to it before responding to the one you're referencing.
  2. It doesn't matter when I saw a post or when I responded to it.
  3. I was talking to somebody else.

So. I think everyone agrees Trump is bad and Joe Biden is bad?
Yeah?
Okay cool, now vote with your conscious. If you're voting for Trump, your a moron. Seriously, if your voting for him for his policies. Your lost.

The lesser of two evils is less evil, by definition.

Also, I don't think Biden is bad. He was just far from my top choice.
