Your right-wing compadre, @"Thorongil", has a more sensible opinion about Putin.

Contrast that highly unlikely possibility under a Clinton presidency with the likely possibility under a Trump presidency of Trump supporting Putin's ...

Sure, sure. It just seemed as though you thought that sexual morality was more important than that. I guess not. You set the bar really low when it co...

@"Agustino" What is it you say about sexual morality and its importance?

Where shall I sleep? Do you have somewhere I can perch? Something long and hard that I can wrap my talons around?
October 08, 2016 at 00:56
Oh shush, Gerald.

Whilst I acknowledge that abuse of the benefit system is indeed a problem, I think that your approach is a greater problem, in that it shifts a vital ...

Going back to this... I'm not exactly asking for help. But how about, when something is set up to help people, it should actually help people. And if ...

Like a shared house? Yes, I've considered that and decided against it. I've lived in a shared house before, and I'd rather not go back to that. I did ...
October 06, 2016 at 23:29
But beneath the supercial appearance of controversy, that's actually a very trivial point, so I don't get why you still want to continue that discussi...

Yes, I know. I'm no fan of New Labour. That change, the LHA, was introduced in 2008 under a Labour government lead by the then Prime Minister Gordon B...

Not for free. You wouldn't be able to legally park them anywhere you like. And I know from recent local events, which were frequently reported in the ...

I get why it seems wrong to subsidise landlords, but the changes to the housing benefit system, including diverting benefits away from landlords to te...

I thought someone might bring that one up, and I'm not surprised that it was you, Hanover. But this isn't all about me. It's a personal problem, but i...

I had no idea what they were until I just googled the term. Interesting.
October 05, 2016 at 20:00
@"Wosret" I remember a while back you doubted me when I told you that the Conservative Party can't be trusted when it comes to Human Rights law. Well,...

He got like $20,000! If I recall correctly, Paul made comments along the lines that he cares more about his business than the forum, which he set up a...

Also, you can have a job and qualify for housing benefit, like I do, and like many others do, but they simply say: sorry, no housing benefit. And, reg...
October 05, 2016 at 11:06
There are things that can be done to improve this situation though, and not all of them drastic - although drastic change may well be required. For ex...
October 05, 2016 at 10:48
Yes, that's the sort of thing that the government should be focussing on rectifying, I believe. But what have they done? What do they plan to do? I do...
October 05, 2016 at 10:31
Well, like you say, the Housing Needs Register here only works well for those assessed to be of a higher priority. It won't work for someone like me, ...
October 05, 2016 at 10:25
Do you not think that a middle-ground is possible? Because I haven't ruled that out. I want the government to intervene more, if that's what it takes,...

/uploads/resized/files/2j/n17sdpwwotapf504.png So, Clinton is ahead, and has been so consistently since June. Also noticeable are the three periods in...
October 05, 2016 at 08:27
Nah. My almost twelve thousand posts can go down with the sinking ship for all I care. I like Modbot's HAL 9000 reference in the Shoutbox. Seems apt.
October 04, 2016 at 20:31
But following that advice might help. I just hope that you realise that you feel and think what you do right now due to various factors which affect y...

But they're better qualified to answer your questions and concerns than we laypeople.
October 03, 2016 at 21:38
You say that you're not depressed, but this is indicative of depression: It sounds like you're just experiencing the prominence of a different aspect ...

Real life? Ugh, no thanks. People might discover that I'm not really an owl.

How did you turn yourself into an emoticon?
September 27, 2016 at 20:34
I don't know. I'm an 'Aspie'. Or so I'm told.
September 27, 2016 at 20:26
This is a joke, right? Please tell me you're joking.
September 27, 2016 at 20:22
Maybe. You've certainly got a point. He can't beat Clinton at her own game, so his only chance might be to resort to the notorious behaviour that he's...
September 27, 2016 at 20:15
>:O
September 27, 2016 at 20:05
That it is.
September 27, 2016 at 20:02
:-O
September 27, 2016 at 20:01
Agreed. Clinton did so much better. I was actually a little surprised and quite impressed by her answers and the way she conducted herself. Trump shou...
September 27, 2016 at 19:48
Brexit? What about the 2015 general election which happened prior to that? Remember the polls?
September 27, 2016 at 19:44
But not one of yours.
September 25, 2016 at 21:03
Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!
September 24, 2016 at 21:48
Perhaps figuring things out isn't your strong suit. So, it remains undiagnosed, then? ;)
September 24, 2016 at 21:28
I know. I meant in general. But it is annoying precisely because there are countless cases like my particular case. And there are in fact many cases m...
September 24, 2016 at 21:03
No, not necessarily. I don't know how you've made that logical leap. It isn't one that I would make. Nothing I said was specifically about divorce, wh...
September 24, 2016 at 20:29
That part was tongue-in-cheek. I don't really think that you should be punished for your view. At least nothing more serious than a little scolding. I...
September 24, 2016 at 20:04
What should the punishment be for people who endorse legal punishment for adultery? I'm glad that someone spoke out against his comment. He might have...

Be prepared to thoroughly explain how looking in the mirror makes sense and is not just a completely random act. And be careful not to arrogantly assu...
