- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Within the U.S., you could have argued that most people who watch 'Mad Men' would watch 'House of Cards.' But the viewing is much more on par with the large-scale mainstream things like 'The Walking Dead.' It was much younger than we thought.

Religious fundamentalists in Bangladesh have always argued for a ban on my books.
- Finance
- |

- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have argued about the future of fiction with jaded novelists, far-seeing postmodernists, technologists, television critics. The argument that future generations will not know the pleasures of the novel has been a staple of book reviewing since at least 1960.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This is a man who graduated summa cum laude from Harvard University in three years, editor of the Harvard Law Review, argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You know, there are only about 10 people in the United States that have ever argued 25 cases before the Supreme Court, this man has won 25 cases before the Supreme Court. He's an overwhelming choice.
- Must
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Green
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The spring of 1942 was given over to a very impassioned, strategic debate about where we should first attack in counterpunching against the Germans and Italians. The British argued very persuasively on the part of Winston Churchill, prime minister, that this was a very green American Army, green soldiers, green commanders.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there, you can deal with that change.
- American President
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's no doubt we'd be very angry if the American president had come to the Knesset and argued against the government of Israel.
- Democracy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Similarly, it is argued that the culture of Islam is incompatible with democracy. Basically, this conventional perspective of the Middle East thus contends that democracy in that region is neither possible nor even desirable.
- Freedom
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The American political scientist Francis Fukuyama has argued that liberal democracies, with their political freedom and economic success, have three important pillars: a strong government, the rule of law, and democratic accountability. I would add a fourth: free markets.
- Interaction
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have argued that the Soviet story is one of the interaction of speculative excess or utopian aspirations with refractory reality.

- |

- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have long argued that in the modern world, corporation tax has had its day as a major source of tax revenue.
- Peace
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel.
- America
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'The End of America' details the 10 steps that would-be dictators always take in seeking to close an open society; it argued that the Bush administration had been advancing each one.
- King
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Martin Luther King Jr. could have argued that separate water fountains were too expensive, a waste of money. He would have been right about that. But cost was beside the point.
- Causing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Back in 2005 and 2006, I argued as forcefully as I could, in letters to clients of my investment firm, 'Scion Capital', that the mortgage market would melt down in the second half of 2007, causing substantial damage to the economy.
- Nonsense
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Some have argued that the United States was designed to block majority rule; to be a 'republic, not a democracy.' This is ahistorical nonsense.
- Make
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Thirty years ago, many economists argued that inflation was a kind of minor inconvenience and that the cost of reducing inflation was too high a price to pay. No one would make those arguments today.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Scientists have argued that research is good for health, wealth, and society, and the government has trusted them on that.
- Immigrants
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I argued for a wartime moratorium on new visas and new immigrants because of the substantial danger of ISIS terrorists infiltrating our system.
- Green Light
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I argued that until FBI director James Comey gives a green light to new visas, and not until we completely reform the vetting process for new foreign visitors, that the borders should be sealed.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A time is marked not so much by ideas that are argued about as by ideas that are taken for granted. The character of an era hangs upon what needs no defense.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because the Second Amendment is an incomprehensible mess, because too many lobbyists have argued that it is an absolute protection of actions and items never considered at the time of our nation's founding, and because there is a clear state interest in protecting the lives of its citizens, the words must be removed from the Constitution.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas. I've argued for Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the United Farm Workers. I've been a radical for a long time. I guess it's too bad. I'd be more marketable as a right-wing redneck. But I got into this to tell the truth as I saw it.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I argued that the Bush administration, and the Coalition officials more recently, didn't understand Iraqi society. They thought it was a blank slate, that they could use Iraqis as guinea pigs.
- Going
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I also argued before the war that the administration was underestimating Arab nationalism and Iraqi nationalism, that it was not going to be as easy to rule Iraq as they thought.
- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In mid-20th-century America, it could be argued that the novelist still had the most claim of anyone to omniscience. Whatever he/she couldn't prove, he/she could gesture at.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have long argued that ISIS and Assad are not separate problems to be chosen between, but are action and reaction, cause and symptom, chicken and egg: impossible to untangle no matter how much we might like to.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Anne is very forgiving. She doesn't care about money, being rich, or clothes. We never argued about finances.
- Errand
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many thought it was a fool's errand - that the browser companies were never going to listen to us. Others argued that, 'Users don't care if you use Web standards.' Well, of course they don't. They just know that your site works better.
- Oil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've often argued that oil and gas exploration is a state's rights issue. It is abundantly clear that the State of Florida does not want drilling to negatively affect its beaches and shores.
- Economists
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Although most Americans apparently loathe inflation, Yale economists have argued that a little inflation may be necessary to grease the wheels of the labor market and enable efficiency-enhancing changes in relative pay to occur without requiring nominal wage cuts by workers.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have always argued that newspapers should not have any civic purpose beyond telling readers what is happening... A reporter who doesn't quickly tell readers what they most want to know - the score - won't last long. Better he should teach political science.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to go on chat rooms on AOL, back when those things existed, and argue with believers in evolution and argued with them that it was against God's law to believe in evolution. It was something I believed really personally.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It has been argued that British girls are incapable of deep feeling or brilliant acting owing to their lack of temperament. This, I am positive, is not true.
- Earth
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In arguing that machines think, we are in the same fix as Darwin when he argued that man shares common ancestors with monkeys, or Galileo when he argued that the Earth spins on its axis.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's often a discussion about, 'Well, how do we know what happiness is? Is it real?' I've always argued that all of us know that there's a huge difference between how we feel when we feel happy and when we don't feel happy.
- Her
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Migrants don't come to the United States because, as Ambassador Aponte argued in her press conference, of 'lies' told by smugglers that, once here, you can't get deported. They come because their countries have been destroyed by U.S. policy.
- Causing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the '70s, there were economists who argued that seat belts were causing people to drive faster and kill more pedestrians. But after 15 or 20 years of research, we can now conclude that's actually not true. Seat belts, on net, do make people safer. So, on an evidence-based process, we should have people wear seat belts.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the suffragist and abolitionist era, there were a lot of white women and some black men and women who argued for the old hierarchy and against universal adult suffrage - often on religious grounds.
- Competition
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Monopolists always defend their monopolies by arguing that competition is wasteful. When the railroad barons completed their monopoly, they argued it would be wasteful to have competing rail lines, AT&T said the same thing. But today, the size and scope of these monopolies is different.
- Faith
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was never argued out of faith; it was much more passive than that - and I wasn't argued back in, either.
- Logic
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nobody gets argued all the way into becoming a believer on the sheer basis of logic and reason. That requires a leap of faith.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many have argued that a vacuum does not exist, others claim it exists only with difficulty in spite of the repugnance of nature; I know of no one who claims it easily exists without any resistance from nature.
- Morality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Philosophers and theologians have argued for centuries over the morality of targeted assassinations - a technique that the Israelis use with some frequency - without ever reaching anything approaching consensus.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's been argued that of all the animals humans have domesticated, the horse is the most important to our history. For thousands of years, horses were our most reliable mode of transportation.
- Brother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I went through that phase where I wanted to almost be different than my brother. Just kind of argued a little louder or if there was a curfew, I always came in a little later than I was supposed to. If it was set for 12, I would come in at 12:45. I would test the limits a little. There was no real reason and I grew out of it, eventually.
- Future
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will likely depend to a great extent on the economic development of a future Palestinian state. As I have argued before, private sector investment - especially in the West Bank - is going to prove crucial in creating the right political and social context for peace.
- Justice
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You sit up there, and you see the whole gamut of human nature. Even if the case being argued involves only a little fellow and $50, it involves justice. That's what is important.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It might be argued that genuine spontaneity is not really possible or desirable so long as printed scores of great works exist. All modern musicians are, for better or worse, prisoners of Gutenberg.
- Past
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What part of 9/11 is big? If the future continues to reinterpret the past, it could be argued that 9/11 provides irrefutable proof that unless there is some other way that we learn to deal with our technology or deal with our brothers and sisters, it is goodbye as a species. That genie does not leave that bottle.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I grew up in a household where we talked politics a lot and argued politics a lot.
- Food
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Money is there to put food on the table and make sure your family is cared for. Anything beyond that can be argued as extraneous.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The conservative idea is not that government has no role. You might have argued that in the thirties when conservatives opposed the New Deal.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Soon after the 1997 election, I argued that there was no inverse law of political gravity which said that everything which went down had to come back up.
- Director
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never turned down anything and never argued with any producer or director.
- Protect
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have not argued in either Brazil or Argentina that the IMF should step in to protect the banks.
- Focus
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In recent years, Republicans have argued that Congress is a more responsible policymaker than the executive branch. But when it comes to regulation, Congress is often much worse, and for just one reason: Executive agencies almost always focus on both costs and benefits, and Congress usually doesn't.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nature, I have constantly argued in my work, is the real superpower of this godless universe. It is the ultimate disposer of human fate, randomly recarving geography over 10,000-year epochs.
- House
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Upon the Constitution, upon the pre-existing legal rights of the People, as understood in this country and in England, I have argued that this House is bound to revive the Petition under debate.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have never seen Jeff Bezos, Marc Benioff, or Reed Hastings complain about being public. Nor have they ever argued that being public prevented them from doing things with a long-term focus.
- Influence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Groups that advocate open government have argued that it's vital to know the names of White House visitors, who may have an outsized influence on policy matters.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It could be argued that, in Thailand, many foreigners have come and gone, and the number of people who are considered to be Thai have traveled abroad in a great number.
- Decaying
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Proponents of privatization argued that cities and states needed private capital to fund all the upgrades that our decaying infrastructure so desperately needed.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Father was bold, and Mother was cautious. They never shouted at each other but argued constantly about strategy, and they taught me very early that before taking big risks, one must carefully figure the odds.
- Communication
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Many well-meaning intelligent people have argued since the May 17, 1954, decision of the United States Supreme Court outlawing segregation in the public schools that communication between the races has broken down.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The outstanding truths of life, the great and unquestioned phenomena of society, are not to be argued away as myths and vagaries when they do not fit within our little moulds. If necessary, we must remake the moulds.
- Nature
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Indeed it can be argued that to make a powerful film you must care about the subject, therefore powerful films tend to be both political and partisan in nature.
- Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet, lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.
- Opinion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Editorials are, obviously, pieces of opinion journalism. They are not intended to be dispassionate, balanced accountings of a news situation or issue. They present a strong and strongly argued position and do not necessarily present or even take into account the opposing position.
- Growing Up
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a teenager growing up in the suburbs of Washington, I ritually watched the Sunday-morning political talk shows with my family. We parsed and argued and jeered at the screen as national figures delivered careful, poll-tested talking points.
- Dead
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have always argued that attempts to isolate Belarus, like other countries, lead to a dead end. In this situation, everyone loses.
- Gardening

- Nov 07, 2020
