Why is professor j phillippe rushton falacious?

Rather than gather facts and develop a testable hypothesis to explain them he draws a conclusion and searches only for data that appears to support his conclusion while ignoring facts that invalidate his theory. Rushton's work is fallacious because he practices confirmation bias. His book Race, Evolution and Behavior has been heavily criticized by experts on evolution, genetics and psychology. Some of his critics have pointed out that many of his sources are not credible and that Rushton has misinterpreted the legitimate research of some sources that he does cite. Rushton's racial theories are generally not taken seriously by mainstream academia. His work has been dismissed by many as pseudoscience which seeks to validate racist stereotypes.

What causes a chapter 13 bankruptcy to be dissmissed with prejudice?

Such dismissal is generally based on a "bad faith" filing (petition). Bad faith can be broadly defined as an unfair or unequitable act. For example the debtor has no means of actually repaying debts and is using the filing in an attempt to stop litigation or to harass creditors. The debtor gave false informaation such as non-disclosure of assets or property, and so forth.


What is wrong about homosexuality?

To many people, nothing. Others view it as unsanitary or going against their religion. That claim that it is unsanitary can be summarily dismissed since unprotected heterosexual sex is no better. After all, many heterosexual people do all the same things that gay people do. What is wrong with homosexuality is that the topic is being used as a weapon to divide people. Gayness isn't so much the problem as it is the division caused over the public acceptance of it. For about 10% of society to feel comfortable, 90% may have to be marginalized, not discuss their honest feelings, and be forced to compromise who they are. Yes, that is what LGBT people have suffered for years, but two wrongs never make a right. Some who oppose gayness say they are concerned with the welfare of LGBT persons. They believe that deep emotional trauma or immaturity is causing someone to be gay. They believe that gayness harms the person who is gay, and causes damage to the mind, spirit, and soul. That cannot be be proven, of course.

Plaintiffs do not charge. They file lawsuits. The plaintiff can always file, but if the case is dismissed with prejudice, a new filing cannot be litigated. If a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means res judicata applies, and a new filing would be dismissed because the issues have already been litigated. If the case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that it has been voluntarily dismissed or dismissed for some reason to allow the case to be refiled and re-litigated later.
