Canada is the type of thing that can exist by virtue of it being agreed to exist. As can 'marriage', 'the office of the president' etc. It's ontologic...

I did and your question in response was pointless filler. The reply was appropriate.

Hint: It's one of the full democracies here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index

No, as it happens I live in a country with better health care, better education, a higher GDP per capita, higher economic growth, lower corruption, a ...

Nice. I like the way it fades away, pares itself down in a kind of exhaustion like a spinner that sucks you into its orbit and then spins itself out l...

What's most disturbing to me about this is not necessarily what happened, which may have been nothing malicious (if you read the full article) but tha...

I didn't read it so I'm not going to argue about it.

Yes, @"jamalrob" deleted it for low quality.

That border wall keeping all those Irish people away from Ireland. :lol:

Yes, he said it was "going fine". LMAO. Leo's like, eh, best correct the record here before it all gets a bit too Twilight Zone. Oh, good times...

@"frank" The implication of all this seems to be we should all move to one of Trump's "shithole" countries for the good of our souls. Surely, compared...

It was multi-layered. The comedic equivalent of a lasagne. Next time I'll just throw a spud at your head.

It wasn't deleted. It was a spam filter false positive and has been restored.

My latin's not so good tbh. I went to a @"Hanover"ian grammar school where they only taught us how to speak proper Georgian English. :sad:

I have a particular interest in the language-oriented threads so suits me.

Well, that's more or less what I was saying. It's something that develops organically more than is consciously controlled. Bottom-up. As to... There m...

Well, yes, and my point is that language will go its own way regardless of what you, I or frank thinks and words will continue to offend certain peopl...

Ok, who decided to make the word "fuck" (for example) offensive and when? And who would be the "we" that could suddenly decide to designate it as unof...

We didn't decide to make words objectionable. Words make themselves objectionable by filling possibilities in the discourse. One of which is the possi...

Don't waste your time on him. Future stupidities will meet an appropriate mod response.

Rule no.1: Don't shoot into the sun if you've got something in the foreground you want people to actually see. That'll be twenty bucks.

You overdid the HDR. Other than that, your photos are marginally not crap. I'm available for lessons.

Excuse the delayed (and brief) reply. Anyhow, I'm less optimistic. I guess about a third will take the view you outlined, about a third will consider ...

Didn't notice this point before. More or less what I said. An increasingly dumbed-down population + dangerous weapons to play with = :fire: :death:

The first graph sums it up fairly well. The more dangerous the weapon, the more magnified the effect of the aggression involved. That's why 'dangerous...

No, they won't. The simple fact borne out by empirical evidence is that the more powerful the weapon the more enhanced the affects of aggression appli...

A Google Scholar search using the terms 'Nietzsche' and 'Lamarck' brings up some results. Have you access to a uni library search engine? That would a...

Happy birthday. :party:

The relevance to rabbits here is tenuous at best.

I've nicknamed him "Inconvenient Bastard". Maybe he can join and hang out with @"Wallows".

Found a rabbit with a broken leg. Ethical dilemma. Eat or help?

Trump's lies are a satirical mirror to the nature of politics itself. He's showing us what we already are and we're relieved to find nothing new. That...

More stuff will come out. It's not getting any better for him. Although it's probably not getting all that worse either considering what we already kn...

They shouldn't impeach until it becomes politically impossible not to. Otherwise they risk feeding the witch-hunt narrative which Trump will milk for ...

Didn't make it to the end of that. Did the guy turn out to be a Nazi or?

Polls can be expected to be wrong by a few percentage points sometimes. If they weren't then something strange would really be afoot. There might be s...

That claim was more of a general critique. Me too. Good night!
