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...
You're barking up the wrong tree here. "Meaning of being in English being noun UK /?bi?.??/ US /?bi?.??/ C2 a person or thing that exists:" https://di...
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...
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...
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 ...
Completely different situation. Sanders is very popular and polls better against Trump than most other candidates. Corbyn ended up being very unpopula...
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 ...
The best case (and questionably realistic) scenario for allowing abusive work environments of the sort described is that company X makes more profits....
But isn't it cool that presidents can use the state apparatus to subvert the democratic process and give themselves an unfair advantage in upcoming el...
(And the proper response to a gaslighter is not to argue reasonably, which just gives them more fuel, but simply to tell them to fuck off.) Edit: I'm ...
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...
Yes, it's political, but he's guilty as fuck anyway, so let's talk about that instead of Partisan Dems! which is just a Republican distraction techniq...
There's no point giving me the Sean Hannity "It's all a big conspiracy by Dems" line. He did it. Sondland et al are telling the truth and he's lying. ...
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...
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...
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...
The argument for changing 'supremacy' to something else is precisely that science should be ideologically free because 'supremacy' is considered by th...
Thank F someone is making an effort. I'll get back to you on this. At least it will take more than a thirty second Google search to refute. (Just one ...
No, you're giving up for good reason. "Crockford is a signatory of the International Conference on Climate Change's 2008 Manhattan Declaration, which ...
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...
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...
My disposition is to show maximum contempt for @"NOS4A2" complaining about the "dumbing down" of science over the suggested use of an alternative word...
Such as... ? Where's the broad PC attack on science that we need to worry about going on? The only serious attacks on science I'm aware of are from th...
