@"raza" Six replies? A single reply would've sufficed. So, do you acknowledge any of the political errors I raised as political errors, or are you sti...

Court backs agreed end-of-life decisions Good news.

I'm going to go with the obvious answer and say no, neither monogamy nor polygamy nor casual sex are immoral. They're about as immoral as a slice of t...

Bored. Sitting here eating a carrot, listening to Foo Fighters, and typing this. I won't be bored later, but I'm impatient for later. Edit: Ooh, just ...

I cease to be gay the moment it becomes inconvenient, then I immediately switch back to being gay afterwards. And by "gay", I mean "homosexual", by wh...
July 29, 2018 at 09:14
Exactly. Like I said in my reply to the opening post on page one: through observation, interaction, our ability to relate and to imagine, and suchlike...

It's not defunct, it's just less taken for granted now than in previous eras. The characteristics, associations, understandings, of what it is like to...

I knew he was a sensible fellow.
July 28, 2018 at 18:00
Easy question. As for the explanation, you should find out for yourself. This sounds like a homework assignment.
July 28, 2018 at 17:54
I don't need to provide a list, and I shouldn't have to explain to you the kind of things which are normally considered to be political errors during ...

The next thing you know, he'll be burning his bra. Mark my words.
July 26, 2018 at 23:29
Yes, there is no rocket science here. What I offer is common sense, and what you offer is absurdity as a result of overthinking. If Snakes Alive is a ...
July 26, 2018 at 23:25
A sure thing? Not an anomaly? In these times? Your inclination means little. Maw's analysis is spot on. The current political climate doesn't favour m...

It's philosophy. Nothing surprises me anymore.
July 26, 2018 at 19:41
I had to look that up. Why not just say "Ten Commandments"? As you should know, there is no "Thou shalt not lie" in the Ten Commandments. There is, ho...
July 26, 2018 at 19:33
Well, it's not rocket science, is it? What did you expect? You're basically asking me to teach you how to suck eggs. If you genuinely didn't know what...

The same kind of thing was said about Jeremy Corbyn. And Donald Trump. The former started out with odds of 200/1.
July 26, 2018 at 18:29
Agreed. For comparison, Labour might not be doing great or as well as people might think they should be doing right now, under Jeremy Corbyn, but they...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=16PET634fOs I have now. That was brilliant. Thanks. Whoopi is confused, Joy comes off the best, and at least this embarr...
July 26, 2018 at 18:13
:lol: The "if anything" is funny, suggesting that it's possible that it's nothing at all. How absurd. Listen, Woody, do you really need me or anyone e...

I am grateful for the wild side, on which I like to walk, especially when accompanied by like-minded friends, for whom I am also grateful. That, and g...
July 26, 2018 at 15:04
So, you can't think of a single political error, because you define "political error" in such a way as to rule out what would normally be considered a...
July 26, 2018 at 14:24
Oh yes, of course. How could I momentarily forget? I was actually in the middle of editing my comment when you replied. You've put it better than I wo...

The other half is split between those who deny that Trump is a shithead, and those who accept that Trump is a shithead and admire his shitheadedness.
July 26, 2018 at 11:58
Man, you've got some messed up beliefs.
July 26, 2018 at 11:53
The point at which you're vindicated to read no further.
July 26, 2018 at 11:39
I find that ridiculous, as, I can say with confidence, would many others, whether gay, straight, or other. Clearly there is meaning enough to come up ...
July 26, 2018 at 11:29
I don't think that that's necessarily the case instead of having an internal sense of being male or female, in conflict with one's physical characteri...
July 26, 2018 at 11:06
My goodness! Look at the language of that article. The author clearly has an agenda. I like the irony of the term "hopelessly biased" cropping up in t...
July 26, 2018 at 10:24
Well said.
July 26, 2018 at 10:09
Oh! I thought that that was his comment on recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital and moving the US embassy.
July 26, 2018 at 09:45
Consistency, I say. If campaign overspending renders a result null and void, then the Tories didn't win the general election in 2015, and some form of...
July 25, 2018 at 21:07
Hasn't campaign overspending happened before? And isn't it the case that the guilty party usually just receives a fine? Where's the precedent for decl...

What? Are they going to start cutting off their own citizens feet if they leave without a deal?
July 25, 2018 at 15:33
That's a matter of opinion. The the second wrong decision would trigger a backlash and degrade public trust in the government. Although, in partisan t...
July 25, 2018 at 15:17
And I'm saying that it's the wrong decision, but the government overturning it would also be the wrong decision. What's best for the country is a gove...
July 25, 2018 at 14:52
Yeah, but that can be interpreted both ways. You're thinking in terms of best interest, but the government gave the country a choice, and the country ...
July 25, 2018 at 14:19
If you fuck the will of the people, they will fuck you right back, as the Lib Dems should know. There won't be a "no deal" anyway.

Penis.
July 24, 2018 at 06:39
That's not true, and I think that only the most simplistic and disengaged of analyses could make it seem so. That you, by your own admission, have no ...
July 23, 2018 at 08:08
Yes, it can, and in some ways that books and films cannot. For example, you can be faced with ethical dilemmas where you must make a difficult choice ...

July 21, 2018 at 21:35
Don't you just love that the "mentions" page allows you to see the original, unedited version of a comment? It can be quite amusing to discover that, ...
July 21, 2018 at 21:25
Why are you quoting that? My point about the Russian invasion of Georgia was in response to your comments about the Russian invasion of Crimea having ...
July 21, 2018 at 21:11
The Russian invasion of Georgia happened on the eighth of August, 2008.
