Your culture (and politics) has changed. Hardly. We have a strong nuclear deterrent and the ability to defend ourselves against pretty much anyone exc...
1) The American "left", if you mean the Dems, are about where the British conservative party are except on healthcare where they are to the right of t...
Ireland's GDP is 6 times larger since the instantiation of the EU in 1992, so no matter what happens, we're huge winners. Anyway, carry on. But your p...
Hear the rubbish they've got you spouting, so you won't notice when they turn you around and bend you over. But maybe you like that sort of thing, Luv...
@"Chester"'s working-class hero: /uploads/resized/files/m3/rh05n3isbv8pcogw.jpg He'll take care of you, son, long as you shine his top hat for him. Yo...
@"Chester" If you expect the Tories to deliver you better wages and a lower cost of living, you are off your nut Georgey-boy. Yes, the EU is avowedly ...
My whole point of doing what I did was to identify different types of trust. So, I'm making distinctions not obscuring them. There is a sense in which...
@"Hanover" @"Metaphysician Undercover" We're in danger of getting lost in semantics here. But to clear up a few misunderstandings: 1) My analysis invo...
Because the premise here is that trust is basic to the human condition. Your leveraging of a distinction here related to habit only highlights the use...
Speaking of predictions, the 60,000 nonsense is out the window and IHME have revised up to 72,000 for US deaths. I'm sticking with 100,000. The US are...
Oh yeah, Google, when you're talking about business-level trust, trust of entities in a market, you can divorce trust from notions of integrity and as...

No, it's not, because the claim is not that the information is false but that it's unreliable and that relates to who is providing it. It's why, for e...
The answer is in my post. You don't get to post stuff from clearly biased sites with a consistent history of spreading misinformation and expect peopl...
Its not an argument that's being dismissed here, it's the reliability of the information. A simple distinction. That's why we don't credit stuff from,...
Doesn't really address the specific point I was making. You called Kavanaugh "scum" because he lied (in your view) about the assault, not for anything...
Yep. If I'm inconsistent you can feel free to point it out, especially if you're willing to quote me. Meantime, take a chill pill. Nobody needs to hav...
I dislike both Biden and Trump regardless of whether these latest allegations are true. And the reasons for my respective dislike are fairly distinct,...
