Well, since Hillary lost, I read sheep intestines. Because, obviously if the polls were wrong once, they must be wrong all the time. So, screw science...

No, he wasn't "mathematically eliminated" by any poll I know of. He was just given a lower chance of winning. And in the end, the polls were off by on...

Oh, that's handy. Well, I think Trump's real support is less than 35%. And I have no way to scientifically verify that either, but blah blah gut feeli...

The common sense solution is to have a soft Brexit. And I think that's what everyone with any sense wants. But May is beholden to the right wing of he...

Facetiousness aside, yes. The UK is just going to have to back down and stay in the customs union (at least in all but name). Otherwise, it will get n...

Ireland is even more boring. No idea what's going on there. I believe we are still a republic though. Probably.

Reminiscent of "Appels and Oranjes" by the Smashing Pumpkins. But not, I guess.

I have a feeling all that information is available on the internets, Tiff. :razz:

It was kind of bad taste, Agu. And I can say that in full confidence that my arse is not presently impaled with a vegetable of any description.

I doubt there was any conspiracy here. It's common knowledge the American justice system is at best very inconsistent in its application, so it's impo...

I really don't know why he couldn't have seen this coming. I don't even think he was as bad as he was made out to be originally, but he deliberately s...

Well, Obama clearly didn't deserve the prize at the time and did nothing afterwards to justify it either, so it wouldn't be hard for Trump or anyone e...

I think you two are talking past each other because you have different ideas on what constitutes an aesthetic or artistic experience.

Plus much of Christian Africa, Buddhist Myanmar, Jewish Israel and so on... Countries infected with - if not always dominated by - religiously inspire...

Willingness to resort to physical force rather than reason to address problems.

Yes, he said that makes us brutes. It's right there in the captions. And it's silly because, apart from the laughable hypocrisy, the evidence points i...

What part of the video were you referring us to then?

This is off the point. Just tell me how more brutish I, and other atheists, are because we're not good Christians like Putin, and help educate me the ...

All those atheist Norwegian and Swedish brutes really need the gentle Christian Putin to show them the way. Er...

It's stunning but unsurprising hypocrisy for him to talk of anyone becoming brutish. There aren't many people around, atheist or not, who would be abl...

No, I didn't, but if it's your government you're afraid of, then next time you go to the polls, I suggest you vote one in you don't think is going to ...

Wonderful sense of community in America where everyone is so afraid of each other that many would rather have a civil war than give up their guns. And...

I registered for a new account using the Google option (the only way that worked) and then searched for my old handle and went through the posts page ...

Oops... There were some huge gaps pre-2014. I reckon I got 80% of mine though. Surprised they were even still there.

That's the third time I quoted that. I know, because I went over to PF yesterday and retrieved all my old posts. (Now got two word files of 500 and 30...

I fell like reposting Buxte's gif to that, but OK. :ok:

Just ejected a large gecko from my house. He didn't leave without a fight. /uploads/resized/files/9l/ewympjtzx0an4xr6.jpg

Not that insulting or harshly criticizing JP or any other public figure is always objectionable anyway. Some of them deserve it.

Instead of getting defensive, have a look at Maw's comment history. You'll soon realize the implication of your claim - that most (or even a large pro...

Hasty generalization.

I had one ready. I think it just exploded though and took the insultometer with it. Back to the fallibility of human judgment. :(

It goes from "new-born puppy" to "crazed Rottweiler" with associated illustrations.

The insultometer app we're about to install in the software will give everyone a rating and solve this issue scientifically.

It's excruciatingly dumb and self-serving. They need to find a better actor too.

Seems to me Fisking is definable as much by intention as method. I tend to be more holistic in my responses, but that's often because I find it more t...

Sorry to hear about yours too. :pray:

Thanks anyway. Odd that there's two today. Hope that's the full sum of it.

So am I.

It knocked a tub over on itself when it was in the yard, got trapped and got heatstroke. Found it too late. Died at the vet.

Couple of months in my case.

One of my dogs died too today.

:cool:

Yes, one of the first, if not the first, discussion I had on PF was with him and a few others (including @"Soylent" and @"Mayor of Simpleton" ) on eth...

You may have been thinking of @"Wolfman".

Aha, so I ain't crazy. :cool:

Ironically, I had gotten you and Schlitz confused previously.

@"Mariner" has contributed here and hopefully will again. Maybe some of the others will too, but seems less likely. I think I have 180's email somewhe...

Uh, got there before me.

:grin: A welcome distinction. :up:
