Oh, I guess they got banned too. Well tough cheese, but maybe they'll find something better to do with their time. They'll live.

It seems to be a very long attempt at proving that shouting "basketball","basketball", "basketball" at a black hockey player is not as bad as some oth...
March 29, 2018 at 19:31
I want to summarize my basic positions, or at least the ones that are most important to me, to avoid more quagmire: 1) There is a lot of hysteria arou...
March 29, 2018 at 19:19
But I'm sure Pneumenon and Thorongil would make just as much effort to find a positive way to construe a hysterical tweet made by someone on the left....
March 29, 2018 at 19:05
I agreed to disagree with you on that point because it's not that important and your response was pretty much irrelevant anyway. Naming what you belie...
March 29, 2018 at 18:34
Yeah, it's ambiguous enough to target a wide audience. :grin:

The Hamster's Guide to Good Sex.

It's hard for me to tune in to that but it jives well with a story Slavoj Zizek tells of going to a meeting where everyone was asked to introduce them...

Seeing as @"Thorongil" is now reduced to lying about BLM's history in an attempt to discredit them, here are the actual founders and links for anyone ...

You went from "she had an influence on their founders" to "she was their intellectual and spiritual founder" and she was a terrorist, therefore they a...

I learned a lot. You should write a book. :up:
March 29, 2018 at 16:49
Probably the only thing this discussion will achieve is to show how foolish it is to throw the word "terrorism" around when you have absolutely no clu...

Show me where I said calling yourself a women's equality activist means what you are doing is good? Please quote me. As I said, strawman. We are not a...

What Is Contemporary Right-Wing Politics? It's right here folks in all it's glory. When you stop using childish and hysterical rhetoric (that would in...
March 29, 2018 at 16:09
Yes, you gave a paranoid hysterical opinion that rules you out of intelligent conversation with the other side. Congratulations on digging into your b...
March 29, 2018 at 16:00
Sure, you don't, because it's the right that did it. The rest of your post is kind of sad at best. It worries you that I think gender equality shouldn...

What he actually said originally was: Obviously BLM don't consider themselves terrorists as they are not terrorists, and even more obviously it's chil...

Yes, if he had only raped someone like that Texas kid with connections did recently (can't remember his name but she was drunk and lying outside I thi...

He made a joke threat about going out and shooting up a kindergarten (terribly bad taste obviously) but marked it as a joke by saying j/k. The injusti...

Update on the Carter case: "Justin went into court today, 5 years after his arrest, to plead with the court to lift his bond restrictions. He was aski...
March 29, 2018 at 14:46
Yes, some of the reaction is a little hysterical, but not nearly as hysterical as foaming about women marching for equality as representing "murderous...
March 29, 2018 at 14:30
I suppose that's one of those Hanoverspasms you're so proud of, eh? Well, I promise you I'll do no crying until Thorongil and Buxtebuddha's wedding. D...

Yes, that's me observing some recent posts on here.

Lol. Ok.
March 28, 2018 at 21:00
Well, jokes aside, I fully agree that the right to express our opinions should be mitigated by a knowledge of when doing so is appropriate. Nice quote...

Fair points. I've had some exhausting experiences debating creationists and the like and seen many others suffer the same fate, so my attitude is some...

Sorry, I forgot the emoticon there. Live long and prosper. :pray:

Don't worry @"T Clark", I'll come to your funeral. When is it?
March 28, 2018 at 20:07
Ouch.
March 28, 2018 at 19:59
Well, fine, you personally would be being consistent if you were OK with that. I am also being consistent by saying it's not for any religion to lay c...

Everything I get involved with lately seems to lead back to the group identity theme that came up the podcasts I mentioned recently. https://youarenot...

Thank you. I am now officially "Good Cop". :up:
March 28, 2018 at 19:37
I didn't say there should be a law forcing them not to say that. I said they shouldn't say that. It's a moral not a legal point.
March 28, 2018 at 19:35
I never said anything that would suggest you shouldn't take action to change things to the extent you can. I merely said intentional bias towards one'...

Not saying "God bless America" violates the separation of church and state? How so?
March 28, 2018 at 19:31
I'm not from the UK not that it matters. Anyhow, the point is if someone's views are intentionally biased towards their own country, then there's litt...

Like if you are at a wedding and the couple are exchanging vows and you loudly opine on how non-virgins really shouldn't wear white. :p

For what? Not living in Dakota??
March 28, 2018 at 19:08
Eh, the OP is about America. I answered it. And, no, freedom of speech is not "almost unrestricted" there in my view. There are cases in America where...
March 28, 2018 at 19:02
Fair point.
March 28, 2018 at 18:39
The point is that the President should represent everyone and therefore be neutral on gods. The majority of Americans are Christian, it's true, so it'...

Unfortunately, scientists have historically carried out gruesome experiments on humans that make this kind of thing look relatively mild. I think it's...
