I get that, but then he proceeds to add his own quotation marks and added commentary over each individual line of the quote anyway. He's doubling up! Tongue

Okay...yup. I see it now.

Well, the thread is about double standards...

Alinski's book and the quotes therefrom were in support of the opinions expressed....the way it should be done.

Not only is there leftwing double statndards but there's also leftwing hypocrisy. The leftwing members in Congress love to harp on wealth inequality and class warfare while they're the ones who actually pocket the most wealth! Who's the real corporate shills here? The democrats!
Wealthy Republicans are demonized by the left, but very little is mentioned of wealthy democrats.
More hypocrisy and double standards from you kiss my ass shit for brains leftists!

Since you posted that right after my last post, I assume it was aimed at me. And if that's the case, I wonder why you bothered to be a fucking liar and pretend I was being hypocritical. I said Dems. do those same things multiple times in my post.

No. It wasn't. Just coincedental. When I respond to a reply, I respond to that person directly using the Reply option at the bottom of their response.

I don't suppose you have a citation for that? All I saw in your post were assertions no more supported than anything I said.

I don't think you're on the same page as me with regard to how the term consciousness is being used. I'm talking about the existence, rather than the non-existence of qualia.

Given that qualia are only the subjective awareness of the "algorithms" you're talking about, the elephant in the room isn't about comparative bioligy-- it's about why qualia exist rather than not-- since there's no good reason a brain (or any other machine) couldn't process any amount of information without having subjective experience about it.

I fully realize that research is not a skill you possess, so I decided to assist you.

Quote:Clinton, then the secretary of state, fell and suffered a concussion in December 2012 and was later diagnosed with a blood clot. Her injury postponed her testimony before Congress about the 2012 Benghazi attacks

So, it's okay for the dems to question Ronald Reagan's health when he ran against Mondale, and it was okay for the dems to question McCain's health when he ran against Barack? But it's not okay for the Republicans to question Hillary health? Leftwing double standards as usual.

Assuming mental health problems from an imaginary injury is very different than reasonable questions about age problems. Its not a double standard.
