I've noticed my posts sometimes appearing at the bottom of one page first and then later at the top of a new page that has suddenly appeared. Never di...

That link takes me to one of Wayfarer's posts (with one of yours just above). I don't see any posts in your comments list that aren't in the discussio...

I may have interpreted my Bible incorrectly, but is the apocalypse now upon us?

This cop was fired for not shooting a suicidal black man with an unloaded gun. Basically, his being smarter and more compassionate than his fellow off...

Oh @"Banno", @"Banno"! Wherefore art thou, @"Banno"? We could also use a bit of @"180 Proof" and a few others from the old crowd.

There's a very different reason for me being called "Flash", which my lawyer has instructed me not to divulge. (He also write that last bit coz it hav...
September 14, 2016 at 06:00
Cool. Let me know how that goes for you.
September 13, 2016 at 15:53
Ah, the old retro-atavistic backward boomerang. All is not lost!
September 13, 2016 at 15:46
Well, I've checked with my parents and apparently I was never born, so that screws up my lineage. Bugger.
September 13, 2016 at 15:26
I don't think anyone here has made that an issue. What kind of things do people get upset about on your planet? Ziiiing... :)

OK then. For the love of God, man, don't create a video! Problem solved. :P

The Partially Examined Life. Broad range of philosophical topics discussed in an often informal style.

No, I don't assume that absolute identity. But I'm not going to re-litigate the whole thing again here. I'm not dismissing everything you said either....

PR move. They'll open again after some reparative charity optics.

Her apology wasn't far behind. Quote: "We're not hate, we're love. We're miracle mattress. We make miracles happen."
September 10, 2016 at 03:39
The penis is classified as an "external sex organ" (for obvious reasons). I didn't just pluck that out of the air. Of course, it's not external to mys...

There is. Dumb works.

Consumerism meets gross stupidity. Utter degradation ensues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZmM-2gj5Gc
September 10, 2016 at 02:55
Glad to hear it. That's exactly what we want - to be in the background keeping things ticking along so you all can get on with what you do best i.e. f...
September 09, 2016 at 16:12
I reckon so. Certainly deserves more recognition than Johnson gave it anyway.
September 09, 2016 at 08:35
Damn, Gary Johnson failed the presidential IQ test on this question: What is Aleppo? a) The city that is the epicenter of the Syrian civil war that's ...
September 09, 2016 at 08:12
Badly phrased maybe, but the crux of the argument is not about the sexual hunger causing the erection, it's about the internal event, the sexual hunge...
September 09, 2016 at 01:24
No worries.
September 09, 2016 at 01:07
I see your objection caused more by the style of what un said than the substance. But again, un can speak for himself.
September 09, 2016 at 00:58
I'll go through the rest of your response later, but I wanted to address this because you've misunderstood what I meant. When I said external physical...
September 09, 2016 at 00:52
Again, I just interpret un's statement differently. It's a fact on any forum that members vote with their presence. That doesn't mean we want them to ...
September 09, 2016 at 00:40
There are only two people who can ban anyone, jamalrob and me, and as far as I can remember at least, the only member who has been banned was a spamme...
September 09, 2016 at 00:24
I think you've taken un up the wrong way. To say it's not a democracy here is just a fact. Neither the site owners nor the mods are elected, and it's ...
September 09, 2016 at 00:12
Just another quick general comment: The site is expanding and having a set of guidelines to refer members, especially new members, to, helps reduce th...
September 08, 2016 at 13:22
The reason the best place to clarify this issue is here is because you can freely say whatever you want in Feedback including arguing that we are bein...
September 08, 2016 at 13:06
That horse has bolted. I didn't delete the comments. I merged the thread, so the responses are here now. Or should be, at least.
September 08, 2016 at 12:43
I've merged @"Ovaloid"'s racism thread in here as it's really just a challenge to the guidelines.
September 08, 2016 at 12:28
This discussion was merged into Yet another blinkered over moderated Forum
September 08, 2016 at 12:26
Just to be clear, the guidelines don't represent any change in policy. Rather, they're a statement of existing policy. (That's another way of saying, ...
September 08, 2016 at 12:21
Generally, no. The evangelist by definition can't think critically about their own position. Their interlocutors in their eyes are nothing but potenti...
September 08, 2016 at 12:17
I may as well add a bit before the conversation moves on too far. First, to spell out my objection to your approach, @"Metaphysician Undercover". Acco...
September 08, 2016 at 09:40
I never claimed TGW was head chef. My beef here is with MU though. And I await his explanation of my paradoxical sex life. Although SX is right, the t...
September 08, 2016 at 02:30
Putting a cherry on MU's shit sandwich isn't going to make it any more edible. Hmm, suddenly I'm not hungry anymore...
September 08, 2016 at 00:48
Indeed, I don't have sex out of sexual hunger, I do it out of habit. My sexual hunger only kicks in when that mechanism that compels me to have sex fa...
September 07, 2016 at 23:39
It is true when you keep the goalposts where they were. (Note the key word "acquiescing"). True, it was badly phrased to the point where if you didn't...
September 07, 2016 at 17:17
Fascinating. Can we apply this to other appetites too? I mean it totally explains my sex life.
September 07, 2016 at 15:57
Not sure about the official enemy bit. The Germans were acquiescing to Nazism well before WWII started (and I use "Germans" as a convenient shorthand ...
September 07, 2016 at 14:53
I think most people would agree with the thrust of your argument, but even then there could be major disagreements about how to analyze specific situa...
September 07, 2016 at 12:30
I won't argue the toss on Farrakhan. I think we're agreed it's not valid to posit a symmetrical relation with regard to the interpretation of language...
September 07, 2016 at 10:53
Anyone can be racist in the same way anyone can hold any irrational belief. "Whole groups of people"? Nationalities as well as races? If so, depends. ...
September 07, 2016 at 07:39
As I mentioned earlier, if you want to bang your drum on the broad issue of animal consciouness, fine, I'll get involved. But start a new thread.
