I wish. That'd make me 21, which is actually how old I was when I joined PF. But people often assume that I'm about that age anyway, and are surprised...

Wow, that was a long time ago. Way before my time. Although, even for me it has been 7 years, which also seems like a long time ago. Anyway, welcome.

Recently finished Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today. Was good, but it ended abruptly and the story is unfinished. Will have to wait for the nex...

One could produce a list, but it'd be so long that if put on paper, it would dwarf size of the wall that Trump wants to build.

>:O Thanks for sharing that. (Y) That "ministry of silly walks" bit... >:O

I don't really get the question or your reasoning, but yes, goals can be selfish. Ah, so you're arguing that a selfish goal is a type of goal, huh? I ...

Yes. It will be from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. And we'll all be wearing clogs.

Perhaps because you haven't thought it through enough. Yes, probably, but that example isn't representative of all such cases, so it doesn't prove you...

No, that's not right. The only part of that fist sentence you got right is the part where you say "it is a proposal".

My focus has been much more on history and politics for quite some time, but I'm going to look into the philosophy of Spinoza (again, but more deeply ...

I see you've moved on from cake. Can you have an autistic person and eat them?

I would like a picture of the look on Tiff's face when the realisation dawns on her that she has lost, and I have won. I would also like a go on your ...

Who needs probability when you can disguise yourself as a woman? How do you think I survived the Titanic, against all odds? It was such a good disguis...

No, that was me disguised as Tiff.

I hate Poe's prosody.

Yes, but at that prior stage, it'd be a proposal, not a goal. Well, you two seemed to care enough to argue over it, and I've gotten myself involved, t...

It only seems useless to people who don't know about slimecraft: the ancient art of crafting useful objects out of slime. It's one of my favourite act...

Yes, not necessarily, and yes, that doesn't follow. But neither of those is what I claimed or implied. Yes, they might have been elected without that ...

I don't know, but I do know that all good turtleheads are turtleheads, and that no turtlehead can have his cake and eat it.

Why do you two keep coming out with these obviously false statements? What, so there can be no such thing as a private individual goal that no one els...

Yeah, good points. Anyway, I've just found out that the Brexit ruling doesn't effect whether or not we'll actually leave the EU, but rather how we'll ...

It doesn't. A goal could be set by a group vote, for example. That would be when it begins it's existence as a goal, rather than, say, a suggestion. N...

No, you've read that into it. That's not what I meant. I was just emphasising what I'd already said.

Didn't say otherwise. Nor was that implied.

You're both obviously wrong, since they're neither the one nor the other by nature. Goals are just goals, and can be either.

Good. Parliament should be consulted on something so important. But Parliament has an obligation to honour the result. The Conservatives were elected ...

The only one I know much about is TTIP, and I've been strongly opposed to it. I signed quite a few petitions against it.

So what do you think is the "pragmatic" advantage to increasing tension with China? Are you sure it's not ideological? Perhaps having to do with, say,...

The next audience member says that we should give him a chance, and only one or two people from the audience clap.

Brilliant point by a member of the audience!

Alistair Carmichael MP, Former Scottish Secretary, Liberal Democrats: Well, I think it's a more worrying place, at least. And from our point of view, ...

Aaaaaand the Conservative MP on the panel, Secretary of State for Transport, Chris Grayling (who recently knocked a cyclist off of his bike by careles...

Emily Thornberry (Shadow Foreign Secretary and Labour MP): I hope what Donald Trump has said isn't necessarily the person that he is. I think that if ...

What do you mean by that? He has at the least made pretty clear what some of his intentions are. And he has already made comments and taken actions wh...

Yeh, I know. I feel the same way. I think that Hilary Clinton was right to attack Trump by focussing on his temperament. Someone with that temperament...

China's reaction regarding, for example, Trump's comments and actions regarding the "One China" policy is actually very predictable. Not what they'll ...

Well, talking the talk is one thing, but walking the walk is another. The latter is by far the most concerning.

But is he even capable of being effective in terms of foreign policy? Lionel Shriver has her doubts, as do I. Maybe effective, but maybe in the wrong ...

I hope so. Hmm... might have done. But doubtful, to say the least.

So, I'm halfway through Question Time and I thought that this was a good point: Will the world become a more dangerous place when Trump becomes the 45...

And I refuse to call you a man. 8-)

If you're gonna call me Sappy, then I'll call you Heidi. :P

Lol. That's some weird shit.

Yes, the broad depth sports method worked well for me.

Not another one. Borat videos are to you what Star Trek gifs are to Heister.

Have you forgotten where we are, dear? This is the Shoutbox. I don't expect much, and I certainly haven't even attempted to provide any reason to adop...
