I don't know. If it was me, I'd like a book. More specifically, a nonfiction book on a topic that I'm interested in, which means there's plenty to cho...

On the ninth of November, the date yesterday, in 1965, the death penalty was abolished in the U.K. (Y)

Sure, but that wasn't suggested. She even gave a second example, in a different context, in contrast to the first, to emphasise this very point, and p...

What do you mean, "bad-natured"? Where are you getting that from? I think you're just reading that into it. It was regarded as workplace banter, and t...

Nor mine, but the newspaper happened to be sitting there on the table in the lunch room. Yes, and I find it offensive and racist also, but that's a di...

Yes, I agree that it seems a little weird, although it really shouldn't. Alternatively, you could give him yourself, entirely naked, with a red ribbon...
November 10, 2017 at 19:41
Well, when you quote me out of context like that, then it will look that way. However, in truth, I did explain myself, just not to your satisfaction, ...

The "yawn" was justified, as it was directed at someone being judgemental from an outside perspective, either failing to get, or wilfully overlooking,...
November 10, 2017 at 19:06
Yes, but that strikes me as beside the point. That it's up to them doesn't mean that there aren't better or worse ways in which to handle a certain so...

No! Russian dwarf hamster! I think. Not even sure anymore, but it looks familiar. I'm a little rusty on my rodent identification ability.
November 10, 2017 at 17:01
Ah. I recognise that little creature straight away: a Roboroski Chinese hamster. I used to work in a pet shop.

It does make sense. If that's what you think, then I think that you just didn't make sense of it. No, I'm not saying that we ought to do anything, bec...
November 10, 2017 at 14:41
Why does it matter? It was an answer to Thorongil's question, and you're quick enough to realise what I did. And both are wrong. There's no simple "ye...
November 10, 2017 at 11:31
There's no simple "yes" or "no" to that question. It depends. Hence, to answer it with, "Yes!", or, "No one ought to become romantically engaged", wou...
November 10, 2017 at 10:55
Yes, ma'am.
November 08, 2017 at 10:57
Lol. No, I'm not. I haven't turned thirty yet.
November 08, 2017 at 10:54
Because the last birthday card she sent me had no money inside. She won't make that mistake again.

Yes, my draft excluder had acid thrown on it after I used it to slap a wallpaper stripper. It's all Russell Brand's fault.
November 08, 2017 at 10:39
Russell. It was he who instigated the attack. I'll never forgive him.
November 08, 2017 at 10:32
That's not funny. Aunty Bernice died after having acid thrown in her face by a giant snake.
November 08, 2017 at 10:28
Sapientia's snake adventias are more exciting than Agustino's tiny pino.

Interesting confession, but we're not at church, and I am certainly not a priest.

Two legs and an anaconda.
November 08, 2017 at 09:57
Okay. Dogs are four-legged, women are one-legged, ergo women do not have dogs.
November 08, 2017 at 09:53
Dogs have four legs, women only have one, ergo women are not dogs. Waits for the objection that missing legs are no laughing matter, because Heather M...

Yes.

November 08, 2017 at 09:19
Yes, that was a good line. Made me laugh, too. :D
November 08, 2017 at 09:01
I'm also here to seek the truth, and that is more important to me than your feelings, with all due respect. Hence, if you claim to know of a truth, as...

Who?
November 07, 2017 at 11:52
If you don't argue the case, then you've provided no reason for anyone to accept what you're claiming. That's drawing attention to a superficial techn...
November 07, 2017 at 11:40
Yes, that's terrible, at least for those who do not regret having lived past times of suicidal depression. I am certain that I would have killed mysel...

What what did he put between which what? What what is what?
November 07, 2017 at 03:13
It sounds rather like a conspiracy theory to me. Perhaps it's a borderline case or just happens to share something in common with conspiracy theory. B...

It has gotten worse. My neighbour now has a newborn. Disgusting noisy little creature. Sometimes if I accidentally drop something at night, it startle...

Whistling, customers who think they're being witty by repeating the same idiotic clichés that I am forced to put up with at work (e.g. "Last of the bi...
November 07, 2017 at 01:08
No more than you or I. I don't buy into conspiracy theories or irrational distrust. You don't know that we will never know what they are. You can't po...
November 07, 2017 at 00:42
Yes we do. They're elementary particles, fundamental constituents of matter. They are what hardrons are composed of, connected by gluons. They have ce...

You are all talk and no action, and quick to give up for the wrong reasons. Do you think that you can get a different result if you recreate the scien...
November 06, 2017 at 22:23
Yes, there may be differing points of view, and I'm arguing that they're not looking at it the right way. From the perspective of others, it might not...

Where would you take him? To a romantic candle lit dinner for two at your favourite restaurant, or to a room in a cheap hotel?
November 06, 2017 at 20:52
Trump is an "inspiration", and the Lib Dems are a "formidable" political force. I think I'm getting the hang of this.
November 06, 2017 at 20:46
Obviously, the effect that it would likely have on gun crime. It already has been. It takes some gall to turn up to a discussion and start making requ...

Ah, so "rags" with scare-quotes, then.
November 06, 2017 at 19:47
No it's not, because it is misleading. So? A cultist might argue that a cult metaphysics is completely justified. That doesn't mean that it actually i...
