I wouldn't put it exactly like that. It's masculine to be assertive and dominating. It's feminine to be flexible and accommodating. Cruelty and love a...

On seconds thought no. Too much authority flying around in there. I'm not anti-police as such but European/Asian police are significantly less intimid...

That's why I said women could be masculine in this respect too. Yin/yang, we've all got some of both.

I could make that (with a little language study). I missed my calling.

You don't go into the police because you're sensitive, you go into the police because you want power and you like guns. In the US anyway where police ...

So what? The average IQ for people in general is 100. Isn't about 100 for police officers what we should expect?

Of course that could be a test of masculinity. The more interested we are in bashing each other with our "truths" and the less interested we are in th...

You were clearly too neurotic to answer truthfully. There is a more comprehensive test on the site (300 questions).

Humans can never escape dominance hierarchies and the maneuvering that goes on in them whether that be in a philosophy forum, at a bar, or around the ...

Yes, that was pre-philosophy masculine stage. The man in us wants to build stuff from trees and rocks and chase people with clubs. Books, not so much....

@"Hanover" gets overly sensitive about stuff like this. We just humour him. :p

Hey, do you remember the pics I posted on the old forum with my head on different bodies? That's masculine vs non-masculine. I think the solution is t...

If our masculinity is not expressing itself, there's not much of it there to express.

Mentally stable non-criminal adult citizens of the US should have the right to own a hand gun or a regular rifle. But no-one except the military shoul...

You'd have to be a robot not to be able to understand it has potential meaning - as a form of submission, a declaration of acceptance, a stoical cry, ...

Haha. As I said, I got the pragmatics if not the grammar claims but I'll piss in your Cheerios anytime. (Y)

No matter. It appears to be probably mistaken anyway. At least according to BC above who seems to know his stuff. Interesting. Unsurprising. But inter...

Knowing the erudite BC, it must be the former.

Again, the studies you haven't read yet paint a different picture. I'll await @"Hanover"'s research. My major problem as I've said several times are g...

You're a sovereign democracy. You get to vote for your government. You are no longer colonized by a foreign power. Why the paranoia? (I think that's B...

Immigration enforcement should be strengthened regardless. As I said, there should be some sensible exceptions like Daca but the point of borders is t...

That's in a completely different ballpark to 1000% and wouldn't particularly surprise me if true (though I'm not conceding it is as other statistics p...

Drug trafficking is more often investigated by the feds presumably because it tends to involve several states. And the source is the border so natural...

So, you agree that any extrapolations from the rate of crimes investigated by federal authorities, which would disproportionately lean toward drug cri...

It's not about being upset. Who cares if you're upset? It's about reality. Learn some basic math and it will help you to spot the kind of basic statis...

Quick lesson in sampling by the way @"Agustino" 1) The sample must be representative 2) The sample must be large enough 3) The error must be calculate...

I gave you an article linking to five separate studies already. Besides which, if you are going to suggest immigrants are ten times more likely to mur...

See: /uploads/resized/files/19/cojt12hkg2qg1fqa.jpg

The estimate is completely hopelessly wrong and your inability to admit it is so weak a cheese sandwich could see through you.

Just to be clear: Illegal immigrants should not be allowed to stay in the country apart from some exceptions (daca etc.) Illegal immigrants should als...

Other countries don't have a constitutional right to bear arms but there are laws allowing citizens to do so within certain constraints.

I don't see how you can draw that conclusion from what he's said but he can speak for himself.

My argument with Agu right now is over his use of clearly fake statistics, which are put out there to demonize illegal immigrants. We haven't got to a...

Most advocates of gun control only want to remove certain types of arms from certain types of people. That works in just about every other developed c...

Looks like most of my high school reading material :) . Anyway, my general thought on this is that Hefner's death is a matter for him and his family. ...

Sure, and thanks for your efforts at clarifying.

Yes, I object to you quoting lies that claim illegal immigrants murder people at up to more than 1,000% a higher rate than the general population base...

Heh... and I wasn't even trying.

Yes, and the alternative explanation is what I was trying to interpret. If not that, what? Maybe rephrase.

Some recent work from my locale.

Are you saying that the wish for a resolution of our search for meaning prevents us from jettisoning the idea of free will?

The most important point as far as I'm concerned is that we wouldn't actually ban someone solely on the basis of a protest statement like that. We're ...

I agree. You would hope they have a plan seeing as they escalated it. But I doubt it. Emotion triumphs over reason yet again.

People are complicated.

This is the bit quoted by @"Agustino" I most object to. An absolute flaming pile of horseshit "extrapolated" by a right wing blogger linking to a dodg...

Morally not so good, but strategically disastrous; about the worst thing they could have done short of mowing them down with machine guns.

Here @"Agustino", I'll help you out: "Supporters of the Trump theory have been pointing to data from the U.S. Sentencing Commission that found undocum...

Of course, but @"Agustino" doesn't care, he's too busy psychologically transferring the problem of crime unto a minority group for his own ideological...

This is a self described conservative website / organization not a non-partisan overseer of the government. Have you even looked at their "about" page...
