Ooh, a discussion about the HyperNormalisation documentary. But I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Looks good.

I'm not really doing anything. You just keep shooting yourself in the foot by making unwarranted assumptions about your interlocutors. Perhaps erring ...
October 18, 2016 at 13:44
No, there isn't, because in reality, it isn't this sinister-sounding thing that you're making it out to be. There is nothing wrong with either men or ...
October 18, 2016 at 13:23
The methodology you have endorsed above doesn't discriminate enough, and, as a result, it is more prone to error than the one that I am endorsing, whi...
October 18, 2016 at 12:34
And what you've said is still wrong. They're not comparable in that way. There is nothing condemnable about dressing that way. The problem is entirely...

Yeah, we have had it over here with our mainstream media and their treatment of Jeremy Corbyn. But I'm much less sympathetic when the victim is Trump....
October 18, 2016 at 11:32
Oh jeez. So, you're part of this populist right-wing trend epitomised by Michael Gove's declaration that we've had enough of experts? Well, this is so...
October 18, 2016 at 11:27
Some of Trump's denials are completely false. A relatively large number in fact, and a greater number than Clinton. You have picked a single example. ...
October 18, 2016 at 11:12
I find this incredibly ridiculous. I struggle to get my head around this attitude, because it is alien to me. We're talking about a style of dressing ...
October 18, 2016 at 10:52
You obviously haven't been following my comments closely enough. I take it you didn't see, for example, my recent exchange with Wayfarer, in which I s...
October 18, 2016 at 10:27
Yes, her denials, especially in that context, are awful and quite shocking, and cause mistrust and make her lose much credibility. But they pale in co...
October 18, 2016 at 10:15
Your reply just confirms my suspicions. Your opinion is formed by public perception - actually, public misconception when it comes to the depth of Hil...
October 18, 2016 at 09:49
Don't kid yourself. That is nothing but an enormous straw man concocted in your wild imagination. Quite astounding actually, even for you. I think tha...
October 18, 2016 at 09:13
Yes, that seems to be his modus operandi. Such a person is called a reactionary, although he denies that he is one. This explains why he is so against...
October 18, 2016 at 01:55
No, that is not true. Quite the contrary, as demonstrated by comparitive fact checking assessments. Where are you getting that from? Is it just your u...

The blind leading the blind.

I love statues! /uploads/files/cs/filyqcmpo3hdry77.jpg
October 17, 2016 at 22:42
That's even funnier than my comment that Boris Johnson is sophisticated! Although I have taken it out of context. I'll grant that they're perhaps not ...
October 17, 2016 at 21:58
>:O Yes, that does surprise me, but Fox News is still the biggest joke out there in the world of news organisations.

October 17, 2016 at 21:15
No, not there we go. He settled the other case. Curious how your suspicion and cynicism evaporates when it's about Trump. You don't suspect that there...
October 15, 2016 at 16:32
I knew it would be more complicated than @"Agustino" would have us believe. At least when it's about Bill Clinton. When it's about Donald Trump, despi...
October 14, 2016 at 08:11
@"Agustino" Oh yeah. I should've googled it. He must be very guilty, then, because if you settle, you're guilty. Apparently. So, I looked it up, and I...
October 14, 2016 at 07:47
The double standard is that you take an unproven allegation as truth when it comes to Bill, but with Trump, when it comes straight from the horses mou...
October 13, 2016 at 21:04
What would I have done? If I answer that question, will it make any of this anything other than speculation? No. And, if Trump settles in the lawsuit ...
October 13, 2016 at 20:55
I said it was cause for concern, didn't I? I haven't denied the allegation, but that is all it ever was. It hasn't been proven in a court of law. That...
October 13, 2016 at 20:28
That is slander, as per the legal definition, as well as speculation. He has not been convicted of rape. Under the settlement, Clinton didn't admit an...
October 13, 2016 at 20:06
Okay. But that still means that you'd be willing to sacrifice your moral principles regarding sexual morality by voting for someone you know has not o...
October 13, 2016 at 19:39
I know full well that you find that sort of behaviour objectionable. But your annoyance doesn't mean as much when it's undermined by your actions (or ...
October 13, 2016 at 19:19
Jacket copy for current edition of Donald Trump's book, It Takes a Wall. 'Some time ago, Trump chronicled his quest—both deeply personal and, in the t...
October 13, 2016 at 09:58
Despite his support for fox hunting?! Or aside from it?
October 13, 2016 at 09:04
Yep. I think that Sanders would've been the better remedy, but I would vote for Clinton if I could.
October 13, 2016 at 08:21
But that the alternative is worse doesn't redeem her, so why shouldn't - or why wouldn't - people express hostility towards her? Some of it, I believe...
October 13, 2016 at 08:05
Please stop deferring to your imagination and refer to what I actually said. There is a big difference between credible fact checkers and internet con...
October 13, 2016 at 07:54
Wow. No it isn't. They're both big liars, although, at least in this campaign, there is evidence which suggests that Trump is the bigger liar. If I fi...
October 13, 2016 at 07:18
It's alright, because he's going to leave all the good bits, like that lovely bit which is used to justify a system in which citizens can go around sh...
October 13, 2016 at 07:07
The tense I used was a clue that I was speaking counterfactually: if, was, would have, supported, meant, won... You yourself used counterfactual tense...

In recent news, as predicted many months ago, before the vote, the pound has fallen and retail prices are to increase. And we haven't even left yet.
October 13, 2016 at 06:34
@"Heister Eggcart" I like your username.
October 12, 2016 at 21:11
But even if he was, you'd still have supported him, so long as it meant social conservatism won the day. Right?
October 12, 2016 at 20:08
No.
October 12, 2016 at 19:31
Such a shame.
October 10, 2016 at 16:00
Me personally? Or in general? Because, if the latter, then I think I get what you mean. I mean, just mentioning Boris brings to mind some of the ridic...
October 09, 2016 at 18:07
But your premise is false. There's no way that the liberal-progressive press haven't reported this kind of thing in a negative light. They would've do...
October 09, 2016 at 18:01
Game, set, and match.
October 09, 2016 at 17:55
Then you do really understand why these folks in the media are so outraged about what Trump said. You just disapprove of the focus being on Trump and ...
October 09, 2016 at 17:48
Then what's so funny?
October 09, 2016 at 17:37
What's so funny? It's true! I mean, for example, when you watch Boris on Question Time, as opposed to, for example, that clip of him stuck on a zip wi...
October 09, 2016 at 17:36
Boris has made plenty of gaffes, and comes across as quite the buffoon. And of course they share the same surname. But I don't think he has made a gaf...
October 09, 2016 at 17:32
Not voting for Trump doesn't mean voting for Clinton. If I was a Republican, I wouldn't vote for Trump.
