Generally, what makes philosophy difficult is understanding concepts and how they relate to each other both contemporaneously and historically. So, no...

It's in Feedback because it includes feedback, such as: Don't you keep yourself logged in? How dare you log out!

@"NOS4A2" Sorry, I deleted my post to correct it, so yours got deleted to. I defer to what @"Michael" said above about the numbers.

Just thought I'd put it out there anyhow. There seems to be a lot of confusion around what is actually happening even among the mainstream news media ...

A moments background reading would be enough in any case to disabuse anyone of the notion that a no-deal Brexit is the will of the people. Polls consi...

The discussions were cross-fertilizing anyway, and if Petrichor's slant is the most interesting, that may be the focus from here on in. Yes, which acc...

I felt like discussions questioning whether it's right to have children etc. were proliferating in a way that Donald Trump discussions used to be and ...

Let's focus on Boris's attempted erection first. When that's taken care of, we can see how much of a mess there is to clean up.

If you could just grab that domain name before someone else takes it. :up:

What's 'ours' in terms of resources is a gift of a society that mostly functions on the backs of ordinary workers, without whom we'd all be sucking on...

What other people?

Lol @"theFT". Shock/horror! Don't vote Labour because they want to give you stuff!

Yes, which would explain why, rather than mentioning these 'radical policies', using the bogeyman of Marxism is generally the preferred method of atte...

I'd put it this way, the issue is not Labour's sudden unelectability, it's the Lib Dem's sudden electability. So, the remain vote is split while Johns...

I'm actually going to keep that one as the new title for the Donald Trump discussion.

On a more serious note, fuck. That is a monster of a weather event.

How about 'Land of a Thousand Neurons"?

Huh? Atlantis is already submerged, silly.

On what basis? Which policies of his are misguided and why?

A significantly higher percentage of voters voted for Corbyn in his last election than voted for Blair in his. In fact, Corbyn got one of the highest ...

As @"Punshhh" pointed out, Boris can't have his erection unless Labour agree. So, it ain't that simple.

I admire anyone who even attempts to express complex ideas in a language not their own. And your English is good enough for the forum.

Aw, :kiss:

Thanks for the tag and the link for Steve.

Found this vid of @"Michael" doing his cockney thing. You'll notice he's a bit vertically challenged but a charming fella' nonetheless. https://www.yo...

I'm going to leave the Terrapin stuff now because it's so out of bounds it's not really helpful to waste energy on it. Re hate speech, I agree it's po...

Yes, it wasn't a great example because it partly related to other stuff that had come up and there's a danger of conflating the two issues.

I have one in particular I'd like to mention but don't have the time at the minute to present it. I'll be back.

Yes, it's unfortunate that Terrapin, whose views are essentially a parody of free speech advocates' positions, has taken up so much oxygen in the disc...

No they don't, but it was a response to this unreasonable position and follow ups to it. But yes, we should move away from this to a more sensible lev...

Well, if this is pro rogue, I'd hate to see amateur rogue.

:lol:

It should really be restricted to expressing surprise, interest, or emphasis. It doesn't really make much difference in a sentence otherwise.

And if I reply to this, it will be further off-topic, so let's just leave it.

Off-topic stuff like this is just going to be deleted in future (and Terrapin can go advertise his absolutist views on his own discussion if that's al...

Hadn't thought about it. Best just to PM one of us first in a case like that. The main consideration is to preserve the site's integrity and that it n...

No worries. Restored.

Ah ok, I'll consider restoring it minus the link. Steve is staying banned though.
