- My interpretation of our exchange obviously differed from yours but your comments on that are welcome. I am open to whatever causes the minimum loss...
I. Marched. Against. The. War. Before it started. In London. Can I make it any clearer? You would have supported it and yet you have the audacity to c...
- It's not being a callous defeatist to demand an intelligent strategy in the Middle East for a change. I marched against the Iraq war. If I and other...
Well, you have to put your mouse over a post to know how many likes it has, or if you're on a mobile device tap the post. So, there seems to be an ele...
I don't know and neither do you. The difference between us seems to be that I am the one suggesting we wait until we do know. Yes, it was inept, not l...
I'm cherry picking? So, your claim is that the situation in Nazi Germany pre-WWII is just as analogous to the situation of ISIS in Iraq as that of the...
And how do we destroy them? The more we kill, the more we create. That's the lesson of the Iraq war. Unless you want to carpet bomb the entire region ...
Whatever we think of the Arab world, we still need to look at ourselves. Just a couple of weeks ago, as I previously highlighted in the shoutbox, the ...
Liked. Even though it was a bit meandering. Comparing my approach to Foucault's is almost as much of an ego boost as getting multiple likes on my post...
Well, they're not visible next to posters' icons when they post. You have to search on profiles to find them. So, there's no need for you to know any ...
At the risk of writing a "me too" post, I agree wholeheartedly. There should be no overt signs that could be interpreted as hierarchical or of denotin...
Yes, sentences are just strings of words starting with capital letters and ending in some form of punctuation, usually a full stop. Clauses are more e...
Anything that stops the members being organized according to likes earned is good with me even if it means no likes at all. The last thing we need her...
You can take it to both extremes. You can diss plumbers and welders because you're an arrogant ass or you can diss philosophers because you're an igno...
Thanks for this @"StreetlightX". It's provocative to reflect that while autistics suffer from a degraded form of interpersonal communication, that may...
- Good questions. The software's a bit different here, so it's not possible to auto-PM reasons for edits or deletions etc. And we decided against logg...
Rubio's in favour of getting himself into power and he's appealing here, for obvious reasons, to a kind of lowest common denominator anti-intellectual...
Yes, without a common sense approach to language as grounded in a world of meaning from the beginning (and a recognition of its evolutionary flourishi...
They're only losing, or at least not winning, their battles in the Middle East and Afghanistan because they're not willing to take the number of casua...
I'm not sure the analogy with mustard gas holds. Mustard gas may be repulsive but it's not particularly destructive or militarily effective in modern ...
The lack of support is probably due at least in part to incredulity about the likelihood of any such eventuality. Think of what would have to happen f...
That might be a possibility, but we really don't have much money to spare for that sort of thing. Anyhow, all help in finding new members is much appr...
Part of the justification for that @"Monitor" is that files use up much more space than posts, and eventually more space is something we'll have to pa...
. Unfortunately, as @"Bitter Crank" alluded to, it's in "honour cultures" like the southern United States, where politeness is highly valued and peopl...
I very rarely say this, but well done, Fox News. Credit where credit is due to Shep Smith for eviscerating this attempt to excuse a war crime and blam...
Good suggestions and much appreciated. To be honest, what would help as much as anything else at the moment would be to get the word out through socia...
