Anyway, the distinction you make between Trump and the media is superficial. Trump is the media, and he's one of the worst. Some of the most bigly iro...

I can't decide. I tried to think it through, but all I could think about was guns and Twinkies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U56B_a66uxM But in all...

Dayum. You got him good. 8-)

We don't. I was talking about my other employer. The only reason I do this job is because I was coerced into it. I was asked "Do you want to be a mode...

What bull shit! Good news: pay rise. Bad news: dividing staff pay based on the judgement of management. People doing the same job as me, not necessari...

There are a lot of cons - too many to list, really. I've been reading Bertrand Russell's Why I'm Not a Christian. That contains some of them.

Hanover's right and Agustino's wrong. Agustino suggests some wild butterfly effect theory which isn't plausible. Hanover rightly points out that Tom, ...

How's that relevant? The former. But surely you can see that you're wrong to keep saying that we can't decide, when some of us can and have. Assuming ...

But that clearly isn't true in this case. One of my first thoughts after reading your opening post was that you should have added a poll. I think a lo...

No, for the same reason as before.

Statement 1 is more insulting to men because it necessarily insults all men, whereas statement 2 does not.

No, I think that it's particularly immoral to make that judgement of them, and highly reckless to take that approach to this subject. You don't know e...

Then I accuse you of misleading those of us who do not speak stupid about what it is that you drive. And of the lesser offence of animal cruelty.

You drive an elephant?

I accuse jamalrob of being Eric Porat. The real jamalrob was kidnapped some time ago. Word on the street is that an owl was paid handsomely by an anon...

I will admit to nothing unless you first score a goal with a football made of apologies. I give you my word that I won't move the goalposts. (I'll ord...

Yeah, HillaryLine, release the emails! Only then will Donaltino answer your question about his tax returns.

My Queen of Hearts is better than yours. She's nothing like She was in that book. Not only is She Queen, She's Master! And a supercalifragilistic one ...

God...? Oh, I remember him! I encountered Him some time after the mad tea party. Yes, it's all coming back to me now. Off with their heads! Drown them...

Alien: Resurrection.

Take the second left. Give it to the time flies to gain entry.

Like a stream. Here it is. I'm sharing it. But is it the same?

I'm with Gowers rather than Oxford on that one, although I'm all in favour of the Oxford comma.

No, no, it was "octopus": an inquiring and critically thinking octopus. Democracy won't work without one. Schools need to do more to provide one.

Noooooooooo! Englishise.

On my daughter's ninth birthday, we celebrated by having a party. She had a big birthday cake with candles and I bought her a pretty pink dress. She l...

No way! Forty-three was what I named my first child, right before I threw it off a cliff.

No, it's enjoyment. When I list those things I most value, that doesn't scream "integrity", it points to "enjoyment" loud and clear. I get enjoyment f...

Yes, biggest amongst other values, not at any cost. Otherwise if I'd have said something like "Knowledge", someone could have come back with, "But wha...

I wasn't referring to that, and that doesn't make it not a tragedy for me. I wouldn't trade what I've got for a joyful delusion of that scale.

Tragic bad luck, yes. And not as tragic as the alternative of living on in insufferable torment.

That's one of the things I like about her. It gives me an advantage which I can exploit. I like you, too.

I've already distinguished the two, and one distinction is enough. Your suggestion that they're identical has been refuted already. That facts can be ...

No, that was a demonstration of the importance of grammar, which is what you were questioning. No. I see that the grass is green as a result of seeing...

Grammar matters important demonstrated is sentence by. Can you see that the grass is green? Yes or no? I can. Is this a mystery? I don't think so. So ...

But that's just a lack of grammatical clarity. It isn't proper to say "green grass", therefore the grass is green. It's proper to say that the grass i...

What's wrong with what Wittgenstein said? Let's go with that. Facts are what make propositions true, or false. That the grass is green is what makes t...

One can show that a fact is observer-independent by drawing attention to the absence of evidence of this kind of dependence where you'd expect it to b...

The fact is not the thing, like I said. The fact is about the thing. It's like a picture.

Easy. The green grass is grass, but the fact that grass is green is not. I water the grass, not the fact. What reason would anyone have to confuse fac...

No, that's certainly not what I'm saying. I meant that the item could be almost anything unless we go into specifics - which could narrow it down cons...

Are you insane? I'd rather stick infected needles into my eyes.

Look, I think that you should just forget about logic, because it has a technical meaning in philosophy, and I think that you're out of your depth - w...

You've lived with monks? Wow. I bet they were a barrel of laughs. Wild parties every night?

It's worth it, and is not terrible at all - it's the opposite. I could still get enjoyment in old age, from things like literature, philosophy, music,...

I find your thinking quite absurd, and the answers to your questions easy. I don't have to make the all-or-nothing comparison of never having stolen a...

Enjoyment.

Parody Time! Blame Hanover Nobody feels anything, Except hatred And anger And wrath. Booming, Fuming, That a-hole That rear end. Hurt him, Destroy him...

I'd bet my bottom dollar on it.
