That's using isolation to support defeatism. Think of the bigger picture. Well, as long as you acknowledge the disconnection between what Hanover said...

No, you seem to have missed the point. You're going from a comment about a group to a comment about an individual. I'm saying that those of you in Exe...

I'm saying this: Plus this: Equals this: If enough of you voted, that would make a difference. Make it happen! In the last recent general election, wh...

But whether you're right or wrong, you've changed from plural to singular, which is moving the goalposts.

You don't vote based on a falsehood? A Labour government would make a difference, and we control who's in government.

Yes, hyperbole, because what you said was exaggerated. But if you take away just enough of the exaggeration, and perhaps make a few tweaks here and th...

Wosret's comment? That's a bad influence, and he should be ashamed. He was saying it ironically, but sadly there's some truth to it. People tend to tr...

Do you support or encourage the current lax gun controls in the U.S.A., whether explicitly or implicitly through your action or inaction? If yes, then...

A freak accident in a laboratory could result in super speed, like what happened to The Flash.

You're a funny one. If you've missed the point of the rhetorical questions, I can explain it to you. You only have to ask.

You know what else is easy and super simple? Making sweeping judgements about everyone at the drop of a hat and pretending to be Sigmund Freud. (You d...

That's a silly response. It isn't all or nothing. I'm in favour of sensible restrictions, and when it comes down to a sensible restriction vs. a littl...

I don't support using a handheld phone whilst driving, which is illegal over here, and rightly so. That's a restriction, which is what I'm arguing in ...

Yes, in a nutshell, that's what it boils down to. You can't have your cake and eat it. It's either one or the other. A decision must be made about wha...

I said that those who care more about guns than people, like those who recently lost their lives, are selfish, a hindrance to societal progress, and t...

Calm down, dear. I was insinuating no such thing. There's this thing called a rhetorical question...

No, not overly. It hasn't prevented me from making a good counterpoint against Wosret, who's being evasive and backpedaling.

That's priceless coming from you of all people. >:O

No, you're after sympathy for those poor guys and gals. Good Lord! What about their freedom?! What about those dead and injured? Where's their freedom...

Those others are selfish, a hindrance to societal progress, and to some degree have blood on their hands. You expect sympathy?

They only said that because I had a gun to their head.

You just blew her logic right out of the water. Easy target? :D

Some people are better off without them.

And you'd prefer to enable them to have access to a greater choice, and to weapons which can do more harm? You'd prefer to make it easier for them? Yo...

Tiff, you missed out a lot of important words there.

I never got to see them, but using a Star Wars theme might lead to you not being taken seriously, and posts in the philosophy section should contain m...

Spirit? You mean, like a ghost? Philosophy of ghosts? Who ya gonna call?

(Y)

Interesting. All that was required of me to purchase an air pistol over here was to walk into a shop and buy one, with my I.D. and entry on the gun re...

Live long and prosper.

I agree. Not the best example. Why should we? Because drugs are bad, m'kay? They're really not that bad, you know. I mean, I've never done heroin, and...

Yes, they do, and I'm not the only one.

Yes, I do, with the first part. The very notion diminishes the concept of rights. Good. They did so based on drug laws which make little sense, compar...

Well, sure, it's nothing new. But the salient point is that things were a lot different back then, much has changed, and the yanks ought to get with t...

The first part wasn't ever in question, as with the Elvis lyric. It's the second part that could be taken as an instruction or a warning. Consider, "Y...

I guess I'd make a tough Coach. If you're going to be on my team, you'll learn some manners. We're not on a playing field, we're in a more formal sett...

Yes, really. You could have interpreted it as shorthand for saying that it's in the grammatical form indicative of an instruction. (And I know that th...

When you talk about what something means, that's semantics. When you talk about its grammatical form, that's syntax. It would help you understand wher...

That's not what I said. The grammatical form is the imperative form and it's an instruction. And an instruction isn't by definition a type of speech a...

There is, and explanations have been given. Just think about how it's used rather than taking it at face value. See? Other people get it.

>:O

The two sides were Great Britain (and allies) and the Thirteen Colonies, later known as the United States of America (and allies). Boston Tea Party, S...

Evidently not, as you've not been understood.

If we're talking about grammar, then that's an instruction. Otherwise it can be whatever you want it to be. Let's not confuse syntax and semantics. Ag...

Then you should be more specific.

The wall is stupid. Why build a wall when they could simply take over control of the market? It's entirely within their power. By trying to stamp out ...

Whatever the finer details, I think you made a mistake that can be generalised. It's the same kind of mistake made when arguing in favour of absolute ...

That's not quite what I meant. I meant that the hypothetical should reflect the problems we know arise when torture has been used for that purpose. If...

If it was only ever hypothetical cases unreflective of reality that were under consideration, then it was a pointless discussion.
