@"180 Proof", @"Landru Guide Us", and @"Paul" are members but not active. BusyCuttingCrap is another notable absence. (I think he's the member @"busy"...

It's largely a matter of taste, I think. Personally, I also like it better in just about every way to the previous place.

You are indeed a master of linquistics, sir. Anything but a bastard. Good day to you!

A rich bastard then. Glad we're all agreed on everything my good man (or lady) and we can part company mutually enlightened by our brief encounter. :-...

Do I have to quote Wikipedia to you to make you understand that English is no more a "limited" language than any other? In fact lexically, its multipl...

The "This" in the "This I know" bit referred to the information you copy-pasted above about the origins of English. The "suspect" in the second senten...

You'll get used to it, Maw, and it's far better on mobile if you roll that way.

This I know. I suspect though your frustration stems not from a deficiency in our (presumably) common tongue (a whit of knowledge of linguistics would...

David Deutsch - The Beginning of Infinity Good for a brush up on Philosophy of Science, and more.

And why, pray tell, do you brand our esteemed mother tongue so?

Ah, Carcass, that would do it alright.

Lol. At least un only created an image though. There's a certain angry orange hairball stalking around that's about to be given the nuclear codes.

Bugger. I'll be keeping the volume down on the 'ol Napalm Death from now on.

If the USA really is to be united, Meryl and Elizabeth are the least of your worries, the 100 million or so other Americans who consider Trump an abom...

Welcome on board! 8-)

You may be confusing this work with your upcoming biography, "HANLOVER: Uncensored Confessions of a Lounge Lizard". In all seriousness (and I realize ...

Franz Kafka - The Trial A man is persecuted by pernicious forces beyond his control. Not sure what will happen in the end. Presumably the bureaucrats ...

Anyway, fwiw, I don't think most of your posts are low quality; you do contribute good posts too, but more often than most posters I know, you have a ...

This is the problem, responding to you just provokes more silliness. Anyhow, here's the PM you find so offensive. Using the word "fuck" is not against...

The point is Agustino that it's not my moderation that's the problem, it's that someone should even think of moderating your posts that you object to ...

No, that was another conversation in which I also moderated at your request. You seem to think you've been treated egregiously by me despite the fact ...

Yawn. I'd hate to think what kind of reaction I'd get if I actually did moderate one of your 2,700 posts. And yet you have no problem asking me to mod...

Yes, but if sex is available it would be a fulfilled natural desire like eating and sleeping. And if it's not available, there's no need to make any e...

Glad you're happy. Anyway, that's enough meta for now. Let's get back to the matter at hand.

We tried and within a couple of posts you descended into a potty-mouthed rant. I guess you need a few more trips to Mount Athos before you can figure ...

Yes, because goodness is telling people they worship at the altar of pussy and using the word "fuck" a lot. No one is falling for your bullshit, Agust...

Are you blatantly lying here or have you not even read through your own links? These are not "studies showing the opposite". Your first paper is about...

Higher dimensional beings communicate exclusively in emoticons. The twist being that these emoticons are actually real people in various emotional sta...

Not to worry, TGW, there's someone for everybody. (L) /uploads/files/yc/9dqzjfhxo6nipo8q.jpg

And forgive the following bit of analysis, but this seems to me to be the nub of it. Ultimately what you want is prestige (i.e. social power) - your g...

What's presumptuous is what Agustino is doing, which is posting through his usual prejudicial filter. What I have claimed is either true or false i.e....

To clarify my own position, I pretty much go along with @"Bitter Crank"'s analysis, which I see as compatible with my own view that the best sex is to...

Keep going. Get it all out of your system...

More gobbledygook. You're making a real fool out of yourself here. But go on...

Rather mine than yours, methinks. That's a fair way to put it.

Bare assertion. Either read and try to understand my posts sans prejudice, and respond with an actual argument or stop wasting both of our time.

This is gobbledygook. You're arguing against your image of some rampant sex-crazed progressive. Read my posts again and try to respond to the substanc...

And you are obsessed with people being obsessed with sex. At least you must be to draw that conclusion from what I wrote. Also, nothing in what I wrot...

I'm not saying that. If you want a simple summary of my last post it's this: "At some level the desire for sex is always there. You can't think it int...

A neurosis would consist in an intellect thinking it can reverse engineer the biology of the human animal in which it resides into something that meet...

So can I. What do you think I was doing while writing the poem? :P Getting back to the OP. No, I don't think sex is "idolized" in the west. Sex, like ...

Any sex is better than none, If you can't have love, least have some fun! Lest you end up -fate worse than death- Spending your nights on TPF!

Interestingly, when I typed "members of congress iq" into both Bing and Google, this piece of bullshit was the first result for both. I may have to ad...

I presumed it was satirical. Bitter Crank's inconsistency aside, 98-101 is an average IQ.

Be nice if you'd do the same for the laws of spelling and grammar. Or should we clean that up for you too, your humble majesty?

It has nothing to do with humility. We're going to take hits either way, but without the software allowing us to easily have a publicly viewable junk ...

Should I laugh or cry? Ah...this :-!

Six pages of this and no-one's mentioned Kierkegaard? Kierkegaard.

Thank you for this does of sanity, Carbon.
