It is impossible for me to have failed. See lesson number 5. With regards to your erroneous views about a perceived failure and the necessity of a che...

Yes, you tried. I will give you that much. You're welcome to keep trying, but that would be like a distraught mother trying to resuscitate a stillborn...

If you're not sure of it, then I pity you too, as I pity all of those who have the disability of being unable to recognise my brilliance for what it i...

It's worse than that. He's alive, but presumably he can't see my brilliant comments. That's self-torture.
November 30, 2017 at 14:39
And I like dead babies. We're a match made in heaven. You and I could be the new Hanover and Timeline. Just think of the possibilities. We could have ...

1. I wasn't talking about North Korea. 2. Obviously laws need to be enforced, which goes without saying, and has been referred to by myself already. T...
November 30, 2017 at 13:54
Obviously they'd need to be enforced. I've referred to that indirectly already, and switching focus doesn't change the underlying point. If you go bac...
November 30, 2017 at 12:34
So what? I don't disagree that it was corrupt in a loose sense. But your suggestion was an association fallacy, so it doesn't support the point you've...
November 30, 2017 at 12:22
But you don't have to follow through with that sort of thing, and being found out can result in scandals and serious consequences. There's a big diffe...

Tastes like idiot.

I like it. It has the X factor, and it probably has more talent than whoever this years The X Factor winner will be.

But how would a corrupt official in Kazakhstan react? And have you heard that Obama's daughter is allegedly kissing white boys and smoking weed? (!)
November 30, 2017 at 03:00
Yes, and some pigs may fly. Point being that it's not impossible in principle, but implausible in reality. Pah! No, it certainly isn't. Your dismissal...

Baden is wrong, as usual. Sleeping Beauty should be banned. It's a gateway drug. The next thing you know... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GnSx7q89y1g

And then this charming man became president.

Car alarms and babies should be exterminated.
November 28, 2017 at 22:51
You're losing track. That some deserve more than others was never a bone of contention. No, you're no where near as accountable. The stance you advoca...
November 28, 2017 at 22:29
That's a non sequitur. You alone are just a cog in the machine. For the machine to function, it needs a system of cogs. It's true that if you remove a...

It's like he has never watched Question Time, The Andrew Marr Show, Prime Minister's Questions, Hard Talk, This Week, or whatever the rough equivalent...
November 27, 2017 at 23:08
You alone could have added that much value? I don't think so. Again, an unrealistic, or very unrepresentative, hypothetical scenario. And yes, $20 mil...
November 27, 2017 at 22:57
There'd be another option: learn to manipulate.
November 27, 2017 at 22:15
In your view, not mine. In my view, even compared to the value you added, that's still too much. It's a matter of what's more important. I say society...
November 27, 2017 at 22:06
Yes, because a $20 million bonus is too much. You don't see it that way because you aren't factoring in the right things, so you get a different resul...
November 27, 2017 at 21:49
But you wouldn't be absolutely essential, so that's not a realistic scenario to consider. There'd be someone else who could get similar results for le...
November 27, 2017 at 21:43
Here's an idea. We could mind our manners, but not at all times, so as to allow for occasional workplace banter, which sometimes really is just harmle...
November 27, 2017 at 21:26
Yeah, that consequence was a concern for me too. I would hope that people would be charitable enough to help me obtain food easily enough. It would be...
November 27, 2017 at 21:17
I would never sleep again, and everyone else would never eat again. I enjoy eating, and without sleep I would have loads more time to do stuff. Also, ...
November 27, 2017 at 20:42
Luck certainly plays a part, yes. The problem is that Agustino neglects to consider the average person, or the below average person, and wants to dist...
November 27, 2017 at 20:09
Yes, I think that Agustino paints quite a misleading picture. Most popular or best selling or highly in demand doesn't necessarily correlate to best -...

The company I work for, and many other companies, would strongly disagree. They dominated the Australian home improvement market, and they are now loo...
November 27, 2017 at 19:14
I've told you why not countless times now. I think that that's excessive, and I don't agree with excessive pay. I haven't forgotten that you think tha...
November 27, 2017 at 19:05
Time for another eye roll, methinks: :-} While you're at it, do you think that you could fit some studies on how to proofread in there?
November 27, 2017 at 14:06
I think I'm more fascinated by the fascination of breasts, than by breasts themselves - the latter of which I do not find very fascinating.
November 27, 2017 at 14:06
I don't agree that they're not fascinated or excited by it anymore, although it's possible that they're less fascinated or excited by it now.
November 27, 2017 at 13:43
Racist.
November 27, 2017 at 13:38
I don't think that he cited your definition followed by his argument. I think that he took a conclusion of your argument, namely that breasts are attr...
November 27, 2017 at 13:13
If that is what unenlightened did, then that it was it could be.
November 27, 2017 at 12:58
Yes, that is one definition. And, if you google the meaning of "excite", you will see that there is also another definition, which is the one that I m...
November 27, 2017 at 12:53
No. Do you? I know. I read that the first time around. I am not unenlightened. I am apparently more complacent and I am not playing along with your wo...
November 27, 2017 at 12:46
Well, my complaint is that you're making it up as you go along to get yourself out of a pickle. I see.
November 27, 2017 at 12:41
Right. And, typically, that involves no excitement whatsoever? The truth is that one could easily swap "provoke" with "excite" in that statement witho...
November 27, 2017 at 12:30
Never! I made a solemn promise.

Astrology can be justified by the methodological process of interpersonal and spiritual individuation via an intellectual transfiguration of the mysti...

What? But I'm known for being the nicest around. I'm a harmless, cuddly, loveable little owl. I'm everyone's fine feathered friend.
November 27, 2017 at 11:42
>:O
November 27, 2017 at 11:29
Ok. You win. From this point onwards, I promise never to be sarcastic again.
November 27, 2017 at 11:28
I used to think that, but then he reacted badly to my beloved sarcasm and called me insufferable. :-|
November 27, 2017 at 11:22
How hypothetical is this? Are we to assume that the first and second option wouldn't lead to a horrible death, as they would in reality?
