Dude, the point is you are burdened with a caricature of the being called "American woman". There are American women on this very forum. Why don't you...

If AJ walked up to me in the street and asked me for sex (again, she really needs to stop doing that), I'd be like "Angelina baby, you gots to stop li...

Sorry, don't have specific numbers for you. On the general point, we're not under siege but there's enough work to keep us ticking over. I probably de...

Haven't got round to watching the video yet. Adams might be worth listening to. I find Dave Rubin to be lazy and clueless though so it puts me off a b...

Oh, didn't know about that one.

Absolutely, Trump has managed to turn many of his supporters into mindless parrots for his talking points, and they are, with regard to him, incapable...

Even Putin says he's not a friend of the United States. I think his exact words were, and I quote, "We are not your friend." Apparently, that's not cl...

Good article on Trump by a solid intelligent conservative, George F. Will. "What, precisely, did President Trump say about the diametrically opposed s...

There is a kind of extreme loyalty among his base that makes rational conversation impossible. You might as well be talking to a North Korean about Ki...

That's a lie. And by a 'lie' I mean a 'banana', obviously.
July 18, 2018 at 20:45
There's no doubt some hyperbole on both sides, but you can also apply this "syndrome" to both sides: Obama derangement syndrome (Birtherism etc.), Hil...
July 18, 2018 at 20:41
Can you deal with the point about retributive punishment and recidivism and stop going on about the fact that Norway is different from the US? Forget ...

When you become a rich elite and book your spot in Trump tower, I will come gunning for you with my socialist ressentiment... and several requests for...
July 18, 2018 at 16:06
Up to you. Anyone can start a discussion at any time. If you want a significantly different result though I only suggest you make it significantly dif...

I think Hanover quoted the OP. So, can you use that as a basis, rewrite it and run it by me first by PM please. (Edit: Actually it was Benkei.)
July 18, 2018 at 15:14
Well, wouldn't a more constructive approach be to try to rewrite the OP to make it more obviously philosophical? My impression was that you wrote what...
July 18, 2018 at 15:03
Totally agree. My other major point was about retributive punishment and recidivism rates. That we should aim for lower recidivism rates as Nordic cou...

There's not only one place to talk about Trump. I did already tell you that. Anyone including you can start a new Trump discussion if they want. What ...
July 18, 2018 at 14:29
Anti-Trump is not anti-American, it's pro-American as far as I'm concerned especially after recent events. But we're off-topic. Going back to the pris...
July 18, 2018 at 14:18
Put it another way, if you can't recognize your own country's or your own leader's faults because you are stuck with some kind of patriotic block, you...
July 18, 2018 at 14:10
That was a somewhat ironic joke considering my traditional lack of patriotic fervour, but the points of substance I made stand. It's not just a claim ...
July 18, 2018 at 14:06
I don't know what your specific suggestion is here, but we moderate on the basis of the guidelines and there's also the check and balance of the mod f...
July 18, 2018 at 13:44
OK, I think I got the right comments. If not, let me know.
July 18, 2018 at 13:33
Split the prison convo off to a new discussion. See "Crime and Punishment".
July 18, 2018 at 11:40
Haven't got time to watch that yet, but the media is selling division on both sides and it is getting worse and worse. Yet another reason to make regu...

You need to lay off the Guinness. You sound like you just emerged from a bog caked in mud never having spoken to another human being in your life. So,...

That's what the Learning Centre category is for. There is a question subcategory in there and resources for newbies (which anyone can add to). On this...

Well, Pence, the walking corpse, would never be this much fun, that's for sure. The would/wouldn't thing is particularly funny because his advisers ca...

:grin: Thirty silver dollars I believe.
July 18, 2018 at 04:16
Oh, I meant I'd do it if we can figure out a way to integrate it. And I was being a bit tongue in cheek. If we do put up a disclaimer, we'll polish yo...
July 18, 2018 at 04:02
By the way @"Hanover", you know the more you show how much you hate us doing the superior European thing, the more I'm going to do it? You do know tha...
July 18, 2018 at 03:56
Yes, still listening. I'm not rejecting it out of hand. There have been a few occasions where warnings or deletions have escalated into situations tha...
July 18, 2018 at 03:53
So, just copy-paste your version minus the suffer bitch part, down with that...
July 18, 2018 at 03:49
I like the idea as long as it requires no extra work on my part. :100:
July 18, 2018 at 03:48
To expand on that, we care about the site and want it to work as well as possible, but we derive most of our enjoyment from posting just like everyone...
July 18, 2018 at 03:38
I know state-run prisons are in a majority (though you still do that poorly as is evidenced by your 70% recidivism rate vs. Norway's 20%), but I'm obj...
July 18, 2018 at 03:05
Or Norway and Australia, or Norway and Japan. Odd then that they have similar and similarly better health care systems than your country, isn't it? Wh...
July 18, 2018 at 02:56
I tend towards this view especially with the homepage set up here, but we'll continue to listen. Yes, we recently got a fifty percent payrise on our z...
July 18, 2018 at 02:48
@"Hanover" An example of a country with far better outcomes than yours in terms of their prison system is Norway. This is the type of thing if not the...

Don't worry, I've called my favorite judge and Sap's going down. I just need you to wire me a couple of grand though... :grimace:
July 18, 2018 at 02:00
There were two judges involved not one. But you shouldn't need to wait for these kind of abuses to understand that imprisoning people for profit will ...
July 18, 2018 at 01:58
Nice one. :100:
July 18, 2018 at 01:11
The main thing is that 95% of Breitbart readers will find a way to simultaneously interpret this as a win for the President and wish cancer good luck ...

As per Maw's answer, I wasn't decrying his criminal tendencies but the situation in which they were allowed to flourish. He, as a sociopathic kidnappe...
July 18, 2018 at 00:23
It's a broad ill-defined term unfortunately but I'd answer along much the same lines as Sap.
July 17, 2018 at 20:15
Interesting. Got a link for that?
