You see, ladies and gentlemen, in Minnesota — and America as a whole — white men do not commit fraud or any other kind of crime (well, except for the convicted felon in the White House I suppose). Only blacks and dark-skinned immigrants do that. So we find a minuscule fraction of Somali...

No, with you. Obviously. Just look at the thread title. Tells you all you need to know about where you are coming from. We know your ilk,

Sure. I contemplate this post, consider it, compose in my head a response, and then write and post the response. If I am not doing that, who or what is?

If p then q, determinism If p then necessarily q, modal fallacy,

Guess I’ll just :banghead:a little while longer. Because it’s true today that tomorrow there will be a sea battle, then tomorrow there must necessarily be a sea battle. Because God knows today that tomorrow you will have eggs for breakfast, then tomorrow you must necessarily have eggs...
