Your politicians are not going to kill you. That would deprive them of the opportunity to continue to make fools of you. In any case, this hysterical ...

I just presumed it was me who had gone nuts. :grin:

What's interesting about Boris is how apparently hard it is for him to even pretend he gives a shit about anything. He delivers every policy line as i...

Some fantasy. I guess s/he doesn't have much faith in the street smarts of philosophy fans.

The Dems have yet to understand the nature of Trump's offensive tactics. Perhaps they need an instructional video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KGL_v...

The Zoolander-in-chief is now on Twitter celebrating a break-in at Elijah Cummings' residence. Democrat = Bad. Criminal hurt Democrat = Good. So, Crim...

I don't have a personal pick. Maybe it's just that I've come to see 'happiness' as not a particularly interesting or even coherently definable goal an...

I've added a link to this discussion at the end of the hints and tips page. :up:

Equanimity is a sensible goal considering the brain's chemical arsenal is not well enough equipped to produce a very sustained experience of happiness...

No worries.

Nothing of scientific value. But you might be able to infer something from this: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28365902 i.e. A slight potential ...

I was wondering if I'd get away with that one, but I kind of liked the sentence so I'd thought I'd chance it. Nobody looks in the Shoutbox anyway, so ...

Alright, we actually remove membership rather than ban on request so that was ill-phrased. Anyhow, I was trying to be resassuring after you took @"Mic...

We don't ban people on the basis that they want to be banned, especially when they don't.

Yeah, not a fan either.

Notice woolly phrasing of exactly zero substance. Try searching for the 'alternative arrangements' he's referencing and you'll find nought that hasn't...

I would say there is no "solving" the backstop issue. There is only capitulation from the UK or more pretending. For 'backstop', read 'The Good Friday...

Boris will immediately shift to the left, if not in rhetoric, in practice. And he'll blame moderates for thwarting him when he fails to do what he has...

What you have or haven't read isn't necessarily relevant to my original comment. Ok. There's significant overlap with the other free will discussion a...

I didn't make a generalised evaluation of 17th century philosophy but a context-specific comment. The discussion won't be of any reasonable quality an...

Please everyone stick to the topic. Comments of a personal nature will be deleted from now on.
