I don't think this is really an issue of ignorance on NOS's part but some kind of political positioning. Best just to leave it imo as he seems wedded ...

Go time then! Will post later today when I get to a desktop.

@"Noble Dust" @"180 Proof" Update: I have yet to hear back from @"Caldwell" who may be on holidays or something. I need to get this show on the road s...

If you want to argue against 'magical' verbal action at a distance, you could try taking on hypnosis, which is an actually controversial topic.

There's nothing magical about it. It implies just what you agreed to in this context, necessary but not sufficient conditions for acting. This argumen...

You have a point. But maybe it's apt that random silly stuff goes here so the Shoutbox has more room for food talk.

That's what's known as 'influence' in this context.

Yes, sentiment is super bearish, which indicates to me most sellers have sold or been liquidated. Caveats are to buy quality, the bottom may not be in...

Then you can admit that words influence actions while also holding they are not fully determinative of actions. In other words, we can all exit the ra...

Sounds reasonable, but I'm not so sure. In the case of an armed robber, having a gun makes you a deadly threat and its presence might cause the crimin...

And anyone suggesting our government might try to kill us would honestly raise mental health alarm bells.

Not all violent crime requires a gun to deal with if you train your police properly. We have special armed units to deal with exceptional cases. Anyho...

Can you do something about this, please @"karl stone"? E.g. Tell Bambi to put a dress on.

Bambi is a man? The plot thickens.

Did Bambi win yet?

Thanks for the reminder. See above.

Merged OP. Please tag ucarr rather than respond to me.

But: ONE TIME SOMETHING HAPPENED SO IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN! YOU ARE NOT RESPONDING TO HIS ARGUMENT! @"Tzeentch" You are not going to be taken seriously ...

History is full of lots of things that aren't coming back. You know, theoretically, we could all go back to riding horses and buggies everywhere inste...

When I get to a desktop, yes.

At my local restaurant, it's bring your own wife but I don't like the wife I've got so I'm off to get another.

This discussion was merged into The American Gun Control Debate

Besides, if your government killed y'all who would be left to buy guns? This whole misadventure sounds bad for business, which apart from anything els...

If you lived up a mountain or in the middle of a forest, it might not be too easy to take you out, though I doubt you'd survive long there anyhow, and...

Shit... /uploads/resized/files/cd/xwln90r1xzgcqnlq.jpeg

Oh, right. Well, at least he didn't do Hitler.

Bambi Herd was a lovely child. Someone should have kept her out of Hollywood. :sad:

Provides a realistic picture?

Government serves us by enforcing a system of social relations that's conducive to mutually beneficial interaction and general personal security. The ...

Can you explain how making it easy for people in violent neighbourhoods to get guns makes them less violent? It seems you are making the argument for ...

The police don't carry guns here because they don't need them and neither do we because we don't have a gun culture. So, it's not an issue.

If trained soldiers came to your door, you would shit your pants and surrender immediately. We know it, you know it, so no idea who you think the act ...

Can't imagine being more neutered than being so scared all the time I have to carry a gun everywhere.

@"Noble Dust" @"180 Proof". I am now ready to go when @"Caldwell" is. :up:

Speaking of posts, did you know Jacky Depp and Amber Bird are currently fighting for custody of a Victorian lamp post worth six million dollars? Learn...

Jack Sparrow and Aquawoman gaslit each other exactly 343 times over the course of their seven-year long relationship! That is an average of almost onc...

Just in: in June 2012 Jack Sparrow farted in Amber Heard's face. She responded by puking on his shoes. So, who abused who? Tune in daily to Buzzfeed n...

The Depp trial is entertainment, not a philosophy tutorial, for sure.

:lol:

It's not just the fantasy of being able to take on the U.S. military that's disturbing, it's that the fantasists believe they represent or could ever ...

Retintech.com is available for a couple of dollars. You're welcome.

I usually go for something that looks like it's an actual word or combination of words rather than a semi-random string of letters. I just bought one ...

:up:

Daddy social must get turned upside down and have the crucifixes and pornography shaken out of his pockets every now and then lest the whole lot go to...

Potentially, but you don't need to watch the details of this particular trial (who shat in who's bed when where and how (thx @"Michael"!) ) to debate ...

Name one.

I would have thought my bathing habits give Jamal more pause on my continued employment here, but his priorities seem equally perverse. The vast philo...

To me, it's a civil trial concerning a couple of degen celebs and their shitty personal lives. To you, it's a big deal. We differ. That's ok.

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe a bunch of incel misogynists just want Jack Sparrow to stick it to blondie because they never could or maybe she truly is a ly...

No, I'll be mildly interested in the result but I'd rather take a bath in cow shit than listen to the stupid details of their relationship.
