But is there suddenly a dearth of whacky, objectionable, and generally fucked-up ideas out there? Has the volume on reactionary voices been turned so ...
This misses the point that the reason given for euthanasia of animals is benefit for them, i.e. an end to their pain. It's easier to 'other' animals a...
So, are unsightly ivory towers a bug or a feature of a healthy discoursal landscape? I say, on the whole, a feature, as are the marauding hordes of li...
Makes no more sense to me than saying: 4. For the first cause to cause the first effect requires an internal driver, IE A motor 5. So there exists a t...
It's true its skeletal low-effort nature was a contributing factor to it being taken down. More attempt at reasoning through even apparently nonsensic...
Yes, I did read it. Here is the OP in its entirety for the record. Again, I don't think a proxy debate here is appropriate. But just in case anyone is...
Sorry, Devan, but you don't get use feedback as a proxy for debating deleted OPs. A significant number of the responses to your OP characterised it as...
Jake was a he I thought. Anyway, for the record, while I found his recent insinuations that he was the only one who cared about quality here annoying,...
Everyone on the mod team cares about the quality here. In fact, we care about it enough to dedicate a considerable amount of our time working for free...
That didn't happen at the old PF and it doesn't happen here. We've always had plenty of knowledgeable posters. That's almost twenty years of philosoph...
Even with the resources, it would still a bad idea in my view. It would hurt the community nature of the place, which is based on character, variety, ...

Existing, in my case. Anyhow, it's a false equivalency. In the case of abortion, there's a balance of rights to be considered between the unborn child...
Please stop the self-flagellation or I'll have to flagellate you with annoying compliments. Anyway, on a jollier note, the Mark Fisher / Douglas Lain ...
There are literally millions of verified cases of LASIK and glasses correcting short-sightedness, which is evidence that those solutions can be effect...
So on a scale of zero to ten, with zero being no justification and ten being absolute justification, I'm going to give a 6/10 on his sacking as a gove...
It's pseudoscience. No amount of faffing about with visualisation and movement is going to match redirecting light through external lenses or burning ...
Just on the last point, that it's difficult to untangle his motives doesn't mean he shouldn't have been sacked. While it's right we ought not make dec...
It's a fair point to bring up. I suppose if an unscrupulous person lied to help people for money, I wouldn't criticize them. Nor would they deserve an...
As far as I remember, the original example @"SophistiCat" posted was of someone blocking @"jamalrob", so I wouldn't take being used as an example as b...
