You act like it matters who said it or where it comes from. It does? An honest discussion isn't going to start from a demonstrable lie. There's no support given for any of those statements. It's just the typical partisan propaganda you find slopped on Facebook.

4.This Government is pushing gun control. Fact.
5.More people on welfare then ever before. fact.
6.Can be argued as it is hard to prove.

You posting a sentence followed by the word "fact" doesn't make it actual fact. Of course you will challenge everyone to "prove you wrong" despite the fact that you have offered zero proof of you being "right."

ACA is a law enabling the government to force people into health insurance. Not really government controlling health care, but close enough.
Poverty did increase. That's a fact.
The national debt is over $19 trillion. That's a fact.
The federal government has been pushing for more gun control. I don't even need a source to prove that, that's all over the news.
Welfare recipients have increased in recent years. That's a fact.
As for the other two, I don't feel like doing research, my point has been proven.
Either way, your argument is basically invalid.

I was simply encouraging him to try to make a better case as to why he thinks we are on a path to socialism. I still welcome that case, KN certainly didn't do anything for that argument.

Was he correct in his original post he made? Probably not. However, he was correct in his rebuttal which you commented on.
You may not be arguing about the original point Altima made, but you certainly were arguing on the secondary point Altima made, which I responded to.

It's more of a comment on how Altima "presents facts", without any supporting documentation, yet demands everyone else he argues with write a 45 page book report that he'll essentially ignore. And if someone takes a play out of his personal playbook, he'll call them lazy and that it's a cop out, because "he doesn't want to do your research for you"

Still doesn't mean that Altima was wrong.
Then again, Vic does the exact same thing, makes broad statements, doesn't back them up with sources, and demands people to "prove him wrong."
So, can we call him a hypocrite? Sure. So is Altima.

Also, lolphillidelphia. I have to WTF at this too. Only 10 months? And this is the same Kathryn Knott who's police chief father gave her special treatment for several crimes in this incident, and also admittedly thanked her father for the special treatment over twitter?
The very same person who would share photos of patients medical conditions while she was working?
Aggravated Assault? Simple Assault? Reckless Endangerment? And Criminal Conspiracy? The same drunken mess who's been banned from something like 14 bars in the span of 2 years?
Edit: it seems she was exonerated from the aggravated assault charges... which is pretty freaking lax on the judge's part. 5-10 months jail time for severely beating someone and leaving them to die in an alley, then promptly heading to a bar. With an additional fine of $2,000 dollars, and some probation... all because her lawyer, was somehow able to argue she "suffered" punishment by being excoriated at the local, state, and national level.

ACA is not government controlled health care. Close enough is not fact.
Poverty increased compared to... what? Is this a percentage increase? Your link's data is 6 years old but it's showing a decline since the 50s that eventually reaches a baseline level around 12-13%.
I couldn't find anything in that welfare history link that supports a recent increase, but the same questions from above apply.
There's still a long way to go from those "facts" and the creation of a socialist state so at least we can partly agree that graphic is crap.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
