If he didn't vote for Trump in 2016 then why did he say he was to partly to blame for electing Trump?

"In a section of the book focused on Iran, the author said he “must take part of the blame” for electing a “brainless” president, in an apparent reference to Trump. “You are free to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgment and the dismantling of the deal,” the book declares."

You should be able to use reasonable force. If you're trying to subdue a homicidal maniac then you can choke them unconscious or knock them unconscious or kill them if that's all you have means to do. But if you just have someone who wants to be rude and yell in your face, then you don't have a right to kill them.

I think it depends on who causes the confrontation and who is escalating the situation to different levels of violence.

Also, I think there's different ways to interpret stand your ground as a concept. You can stand your ground and use reasonable force to secure your safety. You should not be able to stand your ground and murder someone so as not to inconvenience yourself if you don't want to take a step back or move out of someone's way for example.

I was told that if something dies from poison and you eat it then it is dangerous. But if something dies from venom and you eat it you will be okay.

Open discourse that allows all perspectives is stiffled in forums where the admin promotes and favors one viewpoint. Users are left in an echo chamber with little fresh information or viewpoints. I do agree that in an open discussion, dissenting viewpoints should always be allowed. Deleting posts you don't agree with is not right

Can you delete this?
Everyone can enjoy my fucked up story but I don't see why you decided to repost it

We did all of that but then her mom got her into the church again and she decided she wanted someone who went to the same church and after she said no she told me maybe if I joined her church. Her church beat two children to death trying to expel demons and the pastor had a big private jet so I couldn't join that church. Edit: besides the church thing, she didn't believe in evolution and wasn't going to teach her kids that evolution was real, a big problem for me. I might delete this stuff later, I never share online

"leading aerodynamicist Doug McLean has attempted to go beyond sheer mathematical formalism and come to grips with the physical cause-and-effect relations that account for lift in all of its real-life manifestations. ... McLean’s complex explanation of lift starts with the basic assumption of all ordinary aerodynamics: the air around a wing acts as “a continuous material that deforms to follow the contours of the airfoil.” That deformation exists in the form of a deep swath of fluid flow both above and below the wing. “The airfoil affects the pressure over a wide area in what is called a pressure field,” McLean writes. “When lift is produced, a diffuse cloud of low pressure always forms above the airfoil, and a diffuse cloud of high pressure usually forms below. Where these clouds touch the airfoil they constitute the pressure difference that exerts lift on the airfoil.”

The wing pushes the air down, resulting in a downward turn of the airflow. The air above the wing is sped up in accordance with Bernoulli’s principle. In addition, there is an area of high pressure below the wing and a region of low pressure above. This means that there are four necessary components in McLean’s explanation of lift: a downward turning of the airflow, an increase in the airflow’s speed, an area of low pressure and an area of high pressure.

But it is the interrelation among these four elements that is the most novel and distinctive aspect of McLean’s account. “They support each other in a reciprocal cause-and-effect relationship, and none would exist without the others,” he writes. “The pressure differences exert the lift force on the airfoil, while the downward turning of the flow and the changes in flow speed sustain the pressure differences.” It is this interrelation that constitutes a fifth element of McLean’s explanation: the reciprocity among the other four. It is as if those four components collectively bring themselves into existence, and sustain themselves, by simultaneous acts of mutual creation and causation."
