Getting tired of posters who think it's OK to rudely insult interlocutors who politely disagree with their interpretation of whatever-it-is. At best y...

Thanks, honeybum.

OK, well at least some good has come from Sapientia's charm offensive. We now know 1) This is definitely not America and 2) Whatever we do, jamalrob w...

Sorry Nils, I didn't notice this discussion before (a PM to a mod is probably a more reliable way to get a quick reply). Anyway, we have a change log ...

By the way, I contacted you in response to a complaint by another member who felt you were evangelizing. So, you weren't actually singled out by the m...

You could have a hundred times as many attacks and they still wouldn't be representative of the beliefs of the 1.7 billion Muslims in the world. It's ...

Points taken but none of that justifies the claim that we live in a "post-truth" era, which to me is just a fancy meme, and ironically self-underminin...

Do you feel like you are stuck in such a filter bubble that you can't manage to find out facts about stuff? Is it such an effort to circumvent? It jus...
December 29, 2016 at 11:25
It is important, but I bet if you did a poll here to ask people if they felt they were less able to dig up facts now than before, you'd get a majority...
December 29, 2016 at 11:23
One side of the coin. The other side is that there are more facts available to those who want to find them than at any other time in history. I mean, ...
December 29, 2016 at 11:21
There's more truth at our fingertips than ever and there's more bullshit around than ever. We're not post-truth (any more than we ever were), we're in...

To embrace depression as a learning experience rather than to try to avoid it may be necessary to lay the groundwork for a future desirable state, and...

This issue has been dealt with here.

Hm, throw a colostomy bag into the equation and we might have something.

Happy Christmas ye Christians, and for the Jewish amongst us, Happy Harmonica!

For some reason I read that first as "Stare at the ceiling and urinate..." and I was pretty sure that wouldn't work. Reading it again hasn't changed m...

Really? So, you would contend that the world would be no worse off intellectually or morally had no-one ever engaged in philosophy?
December 20, 2016 at 03:24
Ah, no Ireland there. Chose the UK instead. Did OK. (Y) Not when how you think is based on what you think you know.
December 18, 2016 at 12:59
Don't know. I do know though that it's hell trying to scrape cream cheese off a dog.
December 08, 2016 at 16:02
Yeah, I do sometimes get Bagles and Beagles confused though. :P

Oh, I think Michael, being the considerate soul he is, ushered it from view to a more appropriate location.

(We are blessed with the distinguishable linguistic duo of biscuits and cookies this side of the pond).
December 08, 2016 at 15:54
Weird that I don't call them biscuits or weird that much of the non-biscuit stuff disappeared? Oh, and yes and no to answer your question.
December 08, 2016 at 15:52
Strangely, it was the non-cookie stuff that got deleted.
December 08, 2016 at 15:47
Oh, apparently we can as much of the intervening magically disappeared as I posted.
December 08, 2016 at 15:46
Can we go back to talking about cookies yet?
December 08, 2016 at 15:43
I didn't use the word "damming". That would be me making a judgement. I provided a link to.views of his that people were troubled by. I haven't made a...
November 15, 2016 at 22:56
You asked for a source of views expressed by Bannon that people are troubled by. You got one. Those are some of his views. They trouble some people. D...

Well, when I takes a position on a prediction, I takes a position. No half measures. And at the risk of being wrong again, I say with absolute cock-su...

No. And Trump wouldn't want it to happen anyway as he's not a conservative. More of a selfservative.
November 10, 2016 at 12:41
Not to worry. I did laugh :)

Cheers, and same to you. I admire anyone who stuck to their principles in such a partisan environment.
November 09, 2016 at 06:47
The establishment got what was coming to it. Although it's a pity it had to be someone as odious as Trump to do it. If Democrat voters had been princi...
November 09, 2016 at 06:43
Exactly. There were none. Certainly not Clinton who has expressed admiration for the mass murderer Kissinger. For that alone, she deserves to lose. (O...

"Nemesis"?

On a scale of careability, I rate this a zero.

There's an interesting scenario where McMullin wins Utah and the other two split, and he becomes President as a compromise candidate. Unlikely but pos...

I actually gave up following it about a week ago before the latest email controversy (which I heard about first in the Shoutbox).

Good to see you again, Flux. 8-)

That button is not visible in Chrome mobile browser though it is in Firefox. It does work if you click on that space in Chrome though.

I follow your point and not to be pedantic, but let's not forget the standard use of the word "recursion" in linguistics. This sense of recursion isn'...
