Yes Pete, you're intellectually lazy as well. Here's one example of many that I could chose from:
Yesterday you wrote: "The last guys views are obviously valid. You can all do whatever you want. But don't get upset when Arabs burn your flag or ISIS denigrates your country and beliefs. If you won't respect it, why should anyone else......."
There are several issues of laziness and sloppiness in reasoning here: For starters, you are confusing American citizens with non-American individuals who are widely viewed as enemy combatants. Second, you are confusing an American principle (right to freedom of expression) with an antagonistic and widely-used antic by enemies in opposition (e.g., burning a flag, burning an effigy of a US president). Third you come suspiciously close to conflating ISIS with "Arabs." Finally, you are confusing cause and effect; you seem to imply that because Americans sometimes protest the flag, this is what causes ISIS to burn our flag as well. This is backwards and wrong. It is for these reasons that you are intellectually lazy.
I pointed all this out to you yesterday when I wrote:
"ISIS doesn't even figure into the discussion. They don't care about our Bill of Rights, nor are they American citizens, nor are they "taking a knee". Their actions show that they are the enemy of pretty much everything except for their own narrow-minded warped world view, so their motivations for burning our flag (which, again, is really really really different from NFL players taking a knee during our anthem) are not rooted in patriotism, principles, or anything that has to do with this discussion. Japanese soldiers during WW2 routinely burned the US flag--it's what enemies do, they burn effigies/symbols of their opposition. But such actions are world's apart from an American black athlete raising his fist or taking a knee."
If you need another example, you said in the Global Warming thread that "everyone" completely "ignores" or will "dismiss" the effect of the sun even though it is really really big and hot (see page 5). Can you imagine going up to one of NASA's climate scientists are saying "Gee, sir, you might want to consider the sun, I think you're ignoring it, and it is really really big and hot."
Apparently you could. I couldn't. And I find this yet another (of many) of your instances of intellectually lazy, crap-talking, idiocy. To be sure, I'm being charitable here by calling you "intellectually lazy" since it implies that you are capable of being more thoughtful and well-reasoned, but you simply aren't trying.
