My dyslexia causes quite a few of those moments. We have a list of armchair psychologist around here dismissing more common and more obvious things to grasp at straws."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Ah the old appeal to authority fallacy. You are famous for it. In fact, I would argue that you are an expert in the fallacy of appealing to authority.Originally posted by Tassman View PostBecause prof. Lance Dodes is highly qualified in the field - as are John M. Talmadge, MD, a physician and clinical professor of psychiatry at U.T. Southwestern Medical Center; Daniel Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard University; Bandy Lee, MD, a Yale psychiatrist and others in the link all saying much the same thing about Trump's mental health.

Here is our very stable genius utterly disrespecting the National Anthem during the Superb Bowl. Shameful and disgusting.
Does this meet the standard of behavior we expect even of young children?Comment

We should impeach him for it!

Did you watch that video?Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View Post
Do you think many Americans behave that way? I've never seen it, even among children. I always put my hand / hat over my heart when the anthem played.
Can you imagine the response if Obama did that. No? I can't either...Comment

Maybe you should take some parenting lessons from me.
He's the president. Every. Thing. He. Does. Is. An. Official. Act.
Why was everyone else acting respectfully? Why was his mail order bride acting respectfully?

Like I said optics, is it required is what I asked and you seem unable to answer. Why? Did you stand at attention, during the national anthem, watching it your TV like a weirdo?Why was everyone else acting respectfully? Why was his mail order bride acting respectfully?

There are many Americans who don't pay much attention to the anthem - and there a sizeable number of Americans who at least support deliberate disrespect for it; have you never heard of Colin Kaepernick?Originally posted by DivineOb View Post
I can imagine it. There would be vigorous uproar from some circles, and vigorous support from others.Can you imagine the response if Obama did that. No? I can't either...
That said, I am disappointed in Trump, and always respect the anthem.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

That's from the Flag Statute, right? If *everyone* -- including the camera operators and their cameras -- followed the statute to the letter, we'd avoid these controversies because we'd never see them.
Edit: My mistake. Anthem Statute.

Talk about grasping at straws. He was watching it on TV. I forget, are you from the US? Because it's not traditional for people to stand at attention with their hands over their hearts unless they are there in person.Originally posted by DivineOb View PostLast edited by Mountain Man; 02-04-2020, 04:15 PM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
