No idea why we had to go through that btw @"frank". The point stands whether the odds vary slightly or not.

OK, let's use that figure, which is 55% x Netanyahu's 45% = 24.75%, which is less than 25%. Which is what I said.
January 05, 2020 at 00:08
Trump has about a 50% chance of winning (slightly less according to predictit.org). Equally so for Netanyahu. I'll leave you to do the rest of the mat...

Vegas odds of both Netanyahu and Trump being in power by this time next year are less than 25%. If Israel is going to get its long-held wish of castra...

Trump is dead?

There is no "ourselves" without others. That's where we get ourselves from. The self is a social phenomenon. Remove the social and you remove the self...

If there is a war, look to Israel. Couldn't be better timing for Netanyahu.
January 04, 2020 at 13:23
I expect it will amount to more than that, unfortunately. Not that killing any American isn't a serious act. But I expect Iran to gamble on American w...

The action was the equivalent of Iran assassinating Colin Powell at the height of his popularity. They are not going to "sit down and shut up". They h...

And that.
January 03, 2020 at 21:54
One thing Trump's attack is likely to achieve is an end to internal demonstrations against the Iranian regime. Iranians rather than throwing rocks at ...

Happy New Year, TPFers! :party:

Don't they ever give you a day off? Chill and enjoy the fireworks ;)

Welcome :)

That is grim.

Completely different situation. Sanders is very popular and polls better against Trump than most other candidates. Corbyn ended up being very unpopula...

I'd call that a basic duty of care. Luckily, it usually tends to gel well with the profit motive as workplace suicides tend to be bad for business.
December 23, 2019 at 22:39
Makes my point. "French Telecom Company Convicted Of 'Moral Harassment". And you won't hear much argument against that over here. Seems self-evident i...

It's a choice. As a society we choose what we will put up with. Why should potential "efficiency gains" outweigh every other consideration? You could ...

It's called gaslighting.

Don't mind @"Hanover", he's just lawyering from a shit-igloo.
December 23, 2019 at 01:45
It's hardly any worse than @"NOS4A2"'s pictures of Trump hugging American flags and whatnot.
December 22, 2019 at 11:52
So, we're making progress. :strong:

If Trump built himself an igloo out of human excrement, the Republicans would cut each other's dicks off to be the first to dive in and claim it was a...

It's not just about the phone call, it's about what he actually did. The phone call wasn't the crime in itself, it led to the discovery of the crime o...

Yes, you solve paradoxes (apparent contradictions) not contradictions.

I get that, but a) The connotations of words can change over time regardless of intention (that includes the N-word!) and b) If you accept the princip...
December 18, 2019 at 15:49
First of all, of course words can be ideological. No words, no ideology. And that doesn't mean that "words are ideology"—as in every word is ideologic...

In fairness, this belongs in the Lounge at best.

I vote for this. :clap:

The argument for changing 'supremacy' to something else is precisely that science should be ideologically free because 'supremacy' is considered by th...

Where's your evidence she was fired for discovering a fact? Hint: You have none. But go on, try.

This is along the lines of what I'm getting at; changing the name of a scientific term to something equally descriptive but less emotive or connotativ...
December 17, 2019 at 22:35
Agreed, but that doesn't apply in this case. There is no protection from "facts" in changing the word "supremacy" to "dominance" or whatever, there is...
