S

Are you asking for a reason why? Or are you asking what lines I'd draw in going about it? With regard to the first question, I've said quite a lot alr...

To the suggestion of unfairness, the end justifies the means. This is, and has always been, about getting your priorities straight. Okay, so maybe you...

:rofl: (So glad I followed that link. Brilliant! Completely not what I was expecting).

Fangbaby?

Yeah, and then you have some people who like "cheese", and some people who don't, even though one might be thinking of crayfish and the other might be...

You mean, you're not my number one fan? :gasp:

So you say... No, I'm going to stand my ground here. The opening post is what's central. I did read through some of the discussion, but if you expect ...

:snicker:

Ha! You've got to be kidding me. My reply was based on your own opening post which depended on that very concept in order to define miracles. I haven'...

Well said.

That's not an example. What law (or laws) of nature do you think that that would be an exception to? Why don't you think that that could be explained?...

On the unprecedented legal rationale being used to justify Trump's new tariffs:

I'm not disabled, in spite of Dr. Hedgehog's proffesional opinion. I'm tremendously abled. I'm the most able person you've ever encountered... I'm not...

No u.

Since you speak as though you have some personal experience of matters relating to spitting and swallowing, I will consider your advice.

Yes, I took them to school where they learnt how to come up with more original comebacks.

Don't squid up your crumbs-ey.

Your comment on my perspective on the power of belief in one's own righteousness and piety in face of gratuitous shrubbery by the hand of God through ...

I can get a little tenebrous after I've had a few beers. I like the way you work it, no doggerel, I got to bag it up, bag it up. Bring me to life, wak...

I can't post it there because I have yet to grow a swan plant, Wilsony McWilsonface.

I don't know much about the book of Job, although I think it was preceded by the book of Hand. My perspective on the power of belief in one's own righ...

Well, if you're planning to bring to the table that kind of humour, then you're going to have stiff competition on your hands. Did you know, for examp...

:grin: Ohhhhhhh, Jerrr-Em-Eee Corrrrr-Byn... :victory:

A newfound purpose in life. Thank you.

Huh? Are you instructing me to grow a swan plant and then shout at it?

Is this humour? :chin:

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction, too. Yeah, 'how a mind works' could be answered in a very large number of different ways. Yeah, I can see that...

Christianity: kinda stoopid.

:smirk:

I got the reference. :smile:

Ugh. Kill it with fire!

Less grandstanding, more getting on with it, I say. If you let what you perceive to be the vices of others dictate your actions, then what does that s...

Except that I, for one, was never talking about nonhuman animals, which was always a secondary, nonessential consideration related to my argument. How...

You mean, like, if we were examining a text without having a stake in the game? Possibly. But, of course, I do have a stake in this game, given that I...

Oh, really? Well, lady, I've had enough of kids being shot. I know where my sympathies lie.

I'd go further and say that there's always too much going on in an argument to deal with it all as one piece. But it can be a matter of convenience.

What makes a fisk a fisk? That should come before any talk about a mixture of methods. Does it hinge on appearance or method? If it's the former, then...

Not doing so in the way being discussed leaves one vulnerable to missing out something of importance, which can be frustrating. Any manifestation of a...

Better a "fisk" than a block of rambling disconnected thought, drifting here and there, yet somehow missing what's right in front of them. Better an e...

And it's a lot easier to twist such a reply into "I am right". That regurgitation, at least to me, is a sign of a lack of analytic skill, or perhaps s...

Yes, so you did. Although apparently your post was not for my benefit anyway, but for some other unnamed individual or individuals instead. So I think...

:roll:

Yeah well I disagree. To state that thoughts often take more than a second to make is of course true, but misses the point. A stream of thought can an...

What counts as a different conversion is ambiguous. Is it a different conversation if it's a different topic? Is it a different conversation if it's a...

Yes, it's a more precise way of addressing what someone has said.

:cry:

Admiration isn't enough. Action is what's needed. And the right kind of action, which means, amongst other things, not voting for enablers, and not st...

Thanks! :party: Hmm... a matter of seconds. And boy am I grateful! Yeah, it's noticeable, isn't it? Since I've been fired. <the one that caught my eye...

Yeah, that was my reaction, too. How about trigonometry as a sport?
