    But then how does on come about to getting an objective standards? Isn't establishing objectivity an abstract subjective project in itself? When I sense (sensation is the empiricist relation to the object, or thing--John Locke, David Hume) the color red, does this fact form a state of mind (seeing red) which is a subjective state? Deleting the subjective from the Subject-Object relation model of knowledge is a massive error. All you needed to say is the object is "prior" to the subject (the observer) to establish the priority of the object (thing). If only the object was involved in knowledge, we could observe but could not think--in fact, without subjective concepts (Space/Time), we couldn't even apprehend an object. And, are the truths of Logic and Mathematics subjective or objective?

    Tks. I doubt that you will actually receive a cogent response to this post, a response likely but cogent, unlikely!

    We all know what you liberals are implying when you throw out terms like 'critical thinking', and how you use it as a slur many times to infer that your opponent just isn't smart enough to see the big picture on your level...it's elitist, it's snobbish, and in many ways it makes your opponents want to tell you what you can do with that form of b.s..

    Nobody in boards like this would last 2 seconds without thinking critically, so let's cut the crap. Mmmmmk?

    Thank you for sharing your inferiority complex. You don't have to be smart to think critically, but rather interested and concerned about thinking coherently. It's interesting that "critical thinking" is seen here as something outside and alien; and, a private object of a single political group. This is called alienation, and reification (thingification)...that "critical thinking" is a thing different from the way thinking is actually done. Such thinking is a social act and all reification is a form of forgetting. "Critical thinking" is not a private cash register ("Only smart people use it."), but simply follows the rules of validity.

    It is much like the way money is viewed having intrinsic value in-itself as an independent reified object. It appears as a thing outside of us and over us but we forget that money has value ultimately from the collective social process of labor.

    Wrong, goofball. Rundo had already fled the country to escape arrest once.

    Why take this personally? It is a general observation as have all of the comments

    That's still different from fleeing after being released on bail.

    The former is a right. Get that through your head.

    Your pathetic argument seems to be that if anyone's ever left the country before they suspected they might face arrest, they should never be released on bail ever again if they're arrested for anything else in the future.

    Uh...no it isn't... he demonstrated that he was a flight risk. There is literally nothing more he could have done to demonstrate this. Don't twist yourself into little pretzels trying to split that hair.

    I see. It seems you believe being released on bail after being charged with a crime (of assaulting someone) is a privilege, not a right.
    And if there's anything that person did in their history (even if they had a right to do it) that could single them out as potentially having a higher risk of fleeing after being released on bail than the general population, they should not be granted release.

    That's what you believe.

    It seems to me this is basically a form of punishment (in a way) for people who try to avoid arrest (before being arrested) by fleeing. We've really entered police state territory if that's the case.

    Let me ask you this clearly: Do you believe that an individual has the right to go to another country and not come back of their own free will if the country they are a citizen of wants to arrest them?
