I feel like saying "Relax the fuck up" but I suppose you wouldn't see the humour in that either.

You gave me some references, which I said more than once I'd read and get back to you on. And I will do that when I have time.
March 18, 2016 at 08:06
I think if you read over that again you might see the humour in what you've written particularly the part about me smearing accusations of antisemitis...
March 18, 2016 at 07:44
This sounds like wanting to have your cake and eat it. On the one hand, you seem to want to say that the positions of those who would debate you on th...
March 18, 2016 at 07:29
Yeah, kind of mind candy there, isn't it?
March 18, 2016 at 03:56
You got me.

You too, Tiff :D

Ok, I'll look up some of authors you mentioned on this. But my point about poisoning the well stands. It may be that anti-Semitism comes into the conv...

I will say this, there is a narrative that Jews are rich, cunning, shady and an integral part of a powerful cabal that rule the world, and this can so...

The signs were indeed there. Yay, schadenfreude! Got anything else?
March 17, 2016 at 02:33
I meant it literally so we agree on that. I don't agree that anti-Semitism plays much of a part in anti-Israeli sentiment on the left. I think it's pa...
March 17, 2016 at 02:04
I didn't say anti-Semitism was irrelevant. All I am saying is that it's possible to criticize Israeli government policy without being anti-Semitic. Th...
March 17, 2016 at 01:43
Just to note that in roughly the past week or two I've been accused of being a regressive reactionary, a misogynist, a lefty racist, and worst of all,...

Israel is not the Jewish world. The Jewish world as a whole is mostly very secular and forward looking (unlike a lot of the Muslim world obviously).
March 17, 2016 at 00:39
I think you know that @"WhiskeyWhiskers" wasn't suggesting the statement was illogical. He was suggesting that because of it's logical structure the i...
March 17, 2016 at 00:29
Ha, I thought you'd say something like that. It's worth teasing out. Maybe not in the shoutbox though.
March 17, 2016 at 00:21
Well, almost no one, politician or otherwise, outside the states is as rabidly biased towards Israel as those inside that bubble so @"Hanover"'s assum...
March 16, 2016 at 23:47
I mentioned Jill Stein to show why the charge of misogyny in my case was absurd. You've ignored the rest of the post including the Elizabeth Warren an...
March 16, 2016 at 23:36
Plus the fact that much of Bernie's support comes from young women who would presumably love to see a female president but cannot stand the only optio...
March 16, 2016 at 16:00
Rubbish. Many Elizabeth Warren supporters hate Hillary as much as Bernie supporters do. And Hillary haters tend to hate Bill as much as they hate Hill...

Free Otto Warmbier! There needs to be some serious pressure to get this kid out. And not just from America either.
March 16, 2016 at 15:13
Kind of agree except I'd replace Nixon with Carter. In many ways, Nixon was the last liberal president - although his liberality was forced upon him b...
March 16, 2016 at 14:51
What BC said. Social morals do not morality make. Not any morality worth moralizing about anyhow.
March 16, 2016 at 12:46
I wouldn't worry about Trump, the Republocrat party has chosen Hilary as its nominee. Do keep worrying about Hilary though. She will be horrible. For ...
March 16, 2016 at 12:39
In this case she was talking about the military action in 2011. Benghazi happened later, in 2012, so strictly speaking it wasn't a lie though it was s...

The main thing I take from this is that gay Americans deserve a collective medal for the restraint and dignity they show in the face of this kind of h...

This shocked even me. It started out absurd and then got very dark very quickly..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBDbGyv6SIQ
March 14, 2016 at 09:10
Very salient point considering the above.
March 14, 2016 at 01:36
Whether the forums come back or not, the ads make it look like crap. RIP PF.

Drumpf is such a stupid lying little worm. A walking fallacy. But the American media is even dumber than he is and let him run rings around them. (Exc...
March 13, 2016 at 15:27
Interesting, although it doesn't rock my boat all that much. When computers begin to get a handle on natural language, I'll take my hat off (recent lu...

Drumpf's new campaign theme? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n--qRtxkouc

March 11, 2016 at 15:08
Actually Drumpf, Muslims hate ISIS far more than they do America. But facts are bad for ratings, I guess.
March 11, 2016 at 13:59
Never mind. I'll enjoy the novelty. I doubt I'll get a chance to be called that again in a while.
March 10, 2016 at 14:19
It seems a very unlikely scenario that a woman would need more than 27 weeks to find an abortion clinic after being raped, but I'll answer anyway. Fir...
March 10, 2016 at 14:14
I think I've made it clear numerous times that I don't necessarily disagree with this definition. In fact, it seems quite a good one to me. But the la...
March 10, 2016 at 13:24
I want to make this clear again. I don't think "killing a fetus is murder" necessarily. My objection specifically was to the killing of an about-to-be...
March 10, 2016 at 09:36
Yes, people do get annoyed on issues like this as they do on terrorism and other life and death stuff. I know you do, so please stop playing the holie...
March 10, 2016 at 09:26
Honestly Moliere, I don't know why you keep mentioning Catholics with me except as some kind of odd attempt to tar me with religious beliefs I don't h...
March 10, 2016 at 09:20
If you can't see the hypocrisy in this, have a look through your own post history. As for fanaticism, if it's fanaticism to passionately oppose a view...
March 10, 2016 at 09:15
Moliere didn't know it as far as I can see. You weren't mentioned. The idea that my position represents that of a rabid fanatic because when I'm prese...
March 10, 2016 at 08:58
Can't you see the circularity here? "I see no reason...not to consider the fetus as part of the mother there is a continuation between the two" (i.e. ...
March 10, 2016 at 08:55
Oh ffs. The fetus has its own DNA along with a separate brain, nervous and immune system. And there is a specific barrier called the placental membran...
March 10, 2016 at 05:26
Besides, I'd be a hypocrite as I just cut the head off my new born baby. I guess we both neglected our "duty of care".
