Well things being different is the very definition of change, so.....

Your escaping the founders intent by changing the subject to mass generalization.

Her intent was to kill black babies and try and wipe them out.

Interesting so every one born at the time was racist?

That's like saying all Muslims are terrorists.


No, it'd be more like saying "all Muslims born before 1200 AD probably wiped their ass with their hands"

And her basically saying "all black babies need to be killed."

TL;DR version: "We rate the claim False."

They still do wipe with their hands btw in the backwater places like Iraq and Syria.

Okay so she was from a time when all the super cool kids were racist. That is lovely. Maybe it excuses her, maybe, but this isn't a person to necessarily be admired. I don't care if she fed orphaned children every night of her life and washed their tiny little orphaned feet.

But then you can't really admire any of the founding fathers either. I think we are able to, and really should, separate the bigotries of certain time periods and the actions of the people within these societies. We should of course discuss these issues, but I don't think it precludes us from judging the people individually or admire those that have done impressive things, whether that is Alexander the Great, Margaret Sanger or Abraham Lincoln.

Don't tell us what we can and cannot do. You don't even live here.

Exactly. The FF's started our great nation and created The Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence and gave us our Republic. That alone is reason enough to admire them. Bardock is just jealous that he's not American. 👆

No, he's saying that the quotes on Sanger were likely BS or highly stretched truths or just taken out of context

Read for yourself: http://rhrealitycheck.org/article/2015/08/20/false-narratives-margaret-sanger-used-shame-black-women/

I just assumed everyone was lying, personally. Seemed easy enough.

What I really don't get why it would be relevant to the discussion anyway.

it's the hypocrisy that's inherent to the claims that's the problem.

Albert Einstein
Leonhard Euler
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Immanuel Kant
Max Planck
Wernher von Braun
Gottfried Leibniz
Werner Heisenberg
Johannes Kepler
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Georg Cantor
Hans Bethe

Yeah, Bardock's real jealous alright.

And those were just off the top of my head.

EDIT - Oh yeah, your a Protestant. You can thank the Germans and the Low Countries for that to.

Picking one of those guys at random, lets say Georg Cantor.

Cantor is responsible for Set Theory, which is the foundation for modern mathematics, which is why your iphone works.

😂

Touche

However most people won't ever care about him. We will always care about Jobs.

Thanks to "Breaking Bad", there are probably more people that care about Heisenberg than people who care about Jobs.

Not likely.

Document Completely Undermines Hillary’s Classified Email Defense

http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/06/document-

Docuement

So its clear now she broke the law.

Then in her second Benghazi hearings she said she really didnt know Sidney Blumenthal

http://dailycaller.com/2016/01/04/emails-show-hillary-met-at-state-department-with-sidney-blumenthal/

So she lied about the classified emails, she signed a document that informs her of any sensitive information should be kept on government servers, and she lied and said she really didn't know Sidney Blumenthal.

What.

Albert Einstein is on that list.

I mean beyond the fact that Plank, Heisenburg, Kepler etc were far more important to science than Jobs was to anything, surely Einstein specifically stands out as more important.

I mean, so many scientific achievements of the 20th century were built on what Einstein did. He is one of the greatest scientists to ever live and arguably one of the most important human beings ever to live due to his work.

Steve Jobs was a good businessman and had his hands in some innovative ideas but other than that...

Your taking a joke way to serious.
