@"Michael" I'll leave it for now as we're coming at it from different angles. I think you are treating the first and second event as independent and I...

There can never be a possible spread from £5 to £20 given that you've chosen an envelope already. Given that you've already chosen and you've chosen o...
June 29, 2018 at 23:57
I don't understand why you don't understand. There is no point in this scenario after an envelope is chosen where X( £5) and 4X(£20) are compatible po...
June 29, 2018 at 23:47
No. 20 and 5 are incompatible possibilities given you've already chosen an envelope. 20=4(5). There is no 4X.
June 29, 2018 at 23:41
No I didn't. I said I don't know what happened with that but in future if something gets folded in you don't agree with you have the right to complain...
June 29, 2018 at 23:39
Whether you benefit by switching or not is dependent on what envelope you just chose, which must be Envelope X or Envelope 2X where X is a given sum o...

Not sure if you saw my edit: The only combinations given that you have a 10 are A or B. Therefore picking 10 is incompatible with both a possibility o...
June 29, 2018 at 22:17
If the envelope contains 10 then the original pair must have been either A(5 and 10) or B(10 and 20) according to the OP description. If it was A(5 an...

Two envelopes are e.g. 5 (X) and 10 (2X) - Pick 10(2X) and switch get X - But if you've already picked 2X you cannot get 2(2X). There is no 4X (20). T...
June 29, 2018 at 21:38
Mm, that sounds right. I certainly can't think of any (non-religious) principle that would cover regular sexual intercourse and not also cover oral an...

(They're not "my moderators" by the way nor am I theirs. We all can be flagged equally and we have modded each other and will no doubt again).
June 29, 2018 at 17:20
Yes, it is, which is why I answered you and Phil O Sophy and Free Emotion. It's just getting repetitive. The answer's not going to change: I'd like to...
June 29, 2018 at 17:19
And I don't know anything about what's been folded in here. You can take that up with Street. The OP is the OP and we're in the Lounge. That's the con...
June 29, 2018 at 17:14
The stance is not specifically about Trump. The stance is that if the conversation, any conversation, is in the Lounge and the OP specifically describ...
June 29, 2018 at 17:12
And again, I don't know how many million times I have to mention this, but we're in the Lounge in a discussion that is meant to include, for example: ...
June 29, 2018 at 16:59
No it's not. And you've just made a bare assertion without trying to reason for it, so that puts you in a self-defeating position here regarding reaso...
June 29, 2018 at 16:54
We are in the Lounge category, so this is not a philosophical discussion (plus again, see the OP). If it were a philosophical discussion, it would nee...
June 29, 2018 at 16:29
There'll always be bias and there'll always be a degree of double standard in that sense, but the specific argument is over whether outrage from the l...

It seems credible to me as it's unlikely all those that witnessed and reported it are lying, and let's face it considering Trump's actions and words b...

Let me know when you decide. :)

Trump is a racist with Neo-nazi sympathies as Charlottesville showed but Hanover will vote for him anyway because of those lefties and their outrage. ...

After researching it online, see post above, I agree that yes, it's no coincidence.

Denmark. Go social democrats! Then move there. Low humidity/fascism level guaranteed.

You could try Thailand although job ops are limited to teaching. But yes, with the supreme court going full right-wing, you're in serious doo doo over...

You didn't answer to my point: Roseanne comparing a black person to an ape in order to belittle her is worse in degree of offensiveness to Bill Maher ...

Holy F... Rushes to YouTube with face full of schadenfreude inspired glee.
June 27, 2018 at 16:02
You don't have to apologize, I'm pretty sure that's an accurate assessment. ;)
June 27, 2018 at 15:49
That's a good one. Can you write a poem about it? Never mind, I will. There was a young lad called Baden, Who knew not what country he lived in, raza ...
June 27, 2018 at 15:36
People who don't like racism... I hope not. Anyway, thank you for the poem.
June 27, 2018 at 15:22
What would have to be provable? That they were discriminating? Isn't that how things stand?
June 27, 2018 at 15:14
Like this? /uploads/resized/files/rg/qfpxl2ax6qp4ac6e.jpg Weren't you earlier defending the law's tyranny against illegal immigrants though?
June 27, 2018 at 15:04
No, I didn't. I made some important distinctions and qualifications (including using words such as "gray area" "probably" and most importantly pointin...

Yes, I am exactly like a swan. Thank you. :halo: /uploads/files/av/7r70yympzca3aq0j.jpg

No, but you can make racist actions, like refusing to hire someone because they're black or they're a woman, a criminal and / or civil offense. And we...

Quote me where I contradicted myself then. What I said above is a criticism of your argument not an expression of mine. I explained my position very c...

Pointing out that discrimination used to be embedded in law is about the worst argument you could possibly make for having anti-discrimination not emb...

Maybe things are simpler for you because you have a tendency to conflate and ignore nuance. Sanders was refused on the basis of her behaviour not her ...

Money work? I just did a three year (fractional) contract. Now, I'm on a 2 year break. But, yes, I work. I work here, for example.. :grimace:

I've heard this what-aboutism so many times and it's just boringly easy to refute. I mean do you really think comparing a person of black heritage to ...
June 27, 2018 at 13:47
Dunno, I feel like I've got enough outrage for a few more revolutions yet. ;)
June 27, 2018 at 13:27
I'd add that Sanders was refused because of her behaviour, not because she's white, not because she's a Republican etc. And as with the Roseanne case,...
