Wrong conclusions don't invalidate accurate points made along the way.You are ignoring the fact that those points are being made to support a completely incorrect conclusion.

No, that's the other way round. Here's an example:So when Bolsonaro tells you that cutting down the Amazon forest is a cheap and effective way to give a job and a pay to many brazilians and this will in the longer term help the economy and bring prosperity, will you ignore the completely wrong conclusion in order to strenuously defend its accurate point along the way against those people criticizing the whole idea, or wouldn't it appear to you that the argument must be addressed and judged as a whole first?
"The sky is blue, therefore rain is beer" - The conclusion "rain is beer" is nonsense, yet this does not invalidate "the sky is blue".
Not really, no.
So are you saying you support eugenics? After all some of what it is based on is correct...Not really, no. @prizrak's argument is still BS, wrong conclusions don't invalidate correct points made along the way.
How'd you arrive at that conclusion?So are you saying you support eugenics? After all some of what it is based on is correct...
That's not an answer. Do you believe that we can't discount all of eugenics because they made some true points or not?How'd you arrive at that conclusion?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Sweeping testing of the entire crew of the coronavirus-stricken U.S. aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt may have revealed a clue about the pandemic: The majority of the positive cases so far are among sailors who are asymptomatic, officials say.
The possibility that the coronavirus spreads in a mostly stealthy mode among a population of largely young, healthy people showing no symptoms could have major implications for U.S. policy-makers, who are considering how and when to reopen the economy.
It also renews questions about the extent to which U.S. testing of just the people suspected of being infected is actually capturing the spread of the virus in the United States and around the world.
The Navy’s testing of the entire 4,800-member crew of the aircraft carrier - which is about 94% complete - was an extraordinary move in a headline-grabbing case that has already led to the firing of the carrier’s captain and the resignation of the Navy’s top civilian official.
Roughly 60 percent of the over 600 sailors who tested positive so far have not shown symptoms of COVID-19, the potentially lethal respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, the Navy says. The service did not speculate about how many might later develop symptoms or remain asymptomatic.
“With regard to COVID-19, we’re learning that stealth in the form of asymptomatic transmission is this adversary’s secret power,” said Rear Admiral Bruce Gillingham, surgeon general of the Navy.
The figure is higher than the 25% to 50% range offered on April 5 by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a member of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force.
At the time no one had any idea how serious this thing would be. Can't shut down the world economy every time someone sneezes.https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-al...disease-outbreak-in-china-in-november-report/
Us Intelligence knew back in November. They told Israeli leaders, and also the Trump administration who decided it was not an important thing to worry about right now.
So the US knew and tried to tell the right people and it fell on deaf ears, nice.

If that's your takeaway then you misunderstood me. I'll reiterate: If you take a bunch of facts and came to a BS conclusion from those, that conclusion being BS doesn't invalidate the facts you used to come to that BS conclusion - those facts can still be facts.That's not an answer. Do you believe that we can't discount all of eugenics because they made some true points or not?
Fuck it, I'll get political for one post.We knew by January, and all the warnings that came before that should have been informative. Can't help when they are all ignored though. Trumped downplayed the information he was receiving until the market started to crash, then he downplayed it some more. Then he announced he knew it was going to be a pandemic the entire time. Would you like video clips of this stuff, or is this getting to political for you?
