Baden

Glad you decided to stick around and, yes, that is possible...Feel free to explore the idea. :)

Lol :D

Don't do that bourgeois nonsense. Had me a walk though. (Y)

Posters get a ribbing all the time here including @"Hanover". Just take it on the chin. And, yes, your posts are needlessly verbose and obscure, which...

Sorry, the paranoiac in me thought you might try to avoid that one. Hope all that running, cooking and marketing hasn't given you indigestion. :)

Still waiting on an answer to this. You said there were "quite a few" so it should be easy.

:) If I'm ever in need of an anime retort, I know who to ask.

Much like your erections then. Nothing against that.

In other words, I'm right, you're wrong, time for a weird joke. Ha!

You wouldn't be in the least bit disturbed by a video showing Trump repeatedly kicking Clinton in the face? OK, well that's odd even for you. Not that...

Just name one you think is close and then I'll comment. (I'm not going to read a 20 page paper to get the answer to a simple question when you could j...

Sorry. That doesn't work. Everyone has a limit. Presumably a video of Trump kicking Clinton in the face while she was lying on the ground would bother...

You've just demonstrated exactly my point. Where's the part where you attempt to refute me. :s

@"Agustino" If I'm wrong, there should be a historical or contemporary civilization that is similar to what you are pointing to. What is or was it?

You seem to be saying we need to destroy the village to save it. Well, I live here so I'd rather not be "saved". But the fundamental disagreement seem...

The public "illusion" of civilization is civilization, Agustino. The mask is reality. There's nothing else. No other "true face". This is your fundame...

It's partly about how civilized we are; as a species, we're never far off lynching parties, executing kids or chasing down and butchering "the other"....

Depends. Is a bus a phallic symbol?

I think you, and others like you, tend to generalize from their emotional response or lack thereof outwards and consider arguments against your positi...

(I could be wrong in my judgement of course, but that's a different issue).

No, you've got your wires crossed. I can make statements concerning a given subject's (in this case you) psychological openness to rational argument o...

That logic does not compute. Why would I have to be an emotivist to think that you being unable to feel any discomfort at watching that video would ca...

I'm glad you're feeling jolly Robert, but after five readings of that post I still have little to no clue what it means (and I am the resident RL inte...

I didn't say it was an "endorsement" of violence because that would suggest something deliberate on Trump's part. And I think it's much more likely he...

I just don't get why its funny to see an old lady get hit by a golf ball and fall over. Sorry, I guess I'm weird.

Speaking of greatest moments, @"Hanover"'s having his right now by the sounds of it.

Here, have a chicken wing.

You don't get it. It doesn't matter what she's done. It's not funny for the reasons I gave. That's such a specious argument. You only have to go one l...

You have your answer. Case closed.

Yeah, but they let the naked guy in front of me in... :s

Let's get a video of someone punching you in the face. That'd be even funnier. Look, Agustino got punched in the face, haha...Are we all three years o...

Just got back from the forbidden city. They wouldn't let me in. True story.

@"Rich" @"noAxioms" @"TheMadFool" @"MikeL" @"fdrake" @"mcdoodle" @"T Clark" This discussion was deleted accidentally and has now been restored. Please...

Well, this is a rather incompetent attempt at character assassination. You need to up your game, fellas. Anyway, regarding the objectionable content, ...

What @"StreetlightX" and @"Hanover" said is where we are on this officially. Scientific data is one thing and that alone does not breach guidelines; b...

There's where you went wrong.

This is about the politest we've ever been to each other. :P

If taking the middle ground here is fascist, sign me up.

You can tie yourself into a verbal pretzel trying to justify any kind of stupid comment you want. But the statement "Biological sex does not exist" is...

If Trump gets on board for single payer, I'll buy one of those damn things myself.

Moderate pragmatist today. Maybe partisan nutter again tomorrow. I don't know how anyone could keep up with that. But like Michael I'm not complaining...

Which is interesting as just about anything is possible with him (as long as he thinks it will be popular).

Jokes aside, John, it's simple psychology: come with good intentions, leave with good results. Be as strident as you want with your philosophy (within...

Not sure about Ms., I'd settle for Lady Baden though.

It's not a theory, it's how things work around here, Zarathustra. Get used to it.

Lol, OK.

Well, that's fine, I aim to be on the side of the most rational argument not the most left or right argument. Maybe someone should tell Thorongil and ...

I wish it was because you weren't oblivious to how you come across. But I doubt it. Complaints are always a negotiation. You come in throwing grenades...

Ok, that was just my impression.

By the way, Feedback posts should be addressed to the mod team as a whole or no-one at all. If you want to talk to one mod or admin in particular, you...
