No it isn't. There is always the choice to endorse or vote for either this one, one of the others, or not to endorse or vote at all. How bad does a Re...
It's weird that you would ask me that question. No, I have not. Have you? I did suspect that you might be somewhere on the autism spectrum. That's why...
Are you asking me why Cruz would vote for Hilary Clinton? I never suggested that Cruz, nor any other Republican candidate - especially Trump - would v...
So, after calling Trump a pathological liar, a narcissist, a rat, a coward, and a train wreck; and after telling voters to vote with their conscience;...
That's funny and completely wrong. I will readily acknowledge that it is possible, and I have implicitly and explicitly done so multiple times through...
Yes, it is. Me too. I'm looking forward to Resident Evil VII. The trailer looks great, and there's a free demo available from the PS Store which I'll ...
No, that isn't what I did. But I did make comments to the effect that my experience and understanding, in the relevant context, is shared by most othe...
Well, I think that that's patently absurd, but I'm going to watch a film and eat pizza, rather than explain the clear connections to which you are app...
It seems to me like you're the one getting pissy. I have tried to explain it to you, although I didn't think it would be necessary to provide an in de...
I know what you said. So it seems arbitrary to you, personally. Good for you. But things aren't always what they seem. And I'm arguing that it isn't a...
Well, it's not random or unpredictable, nor is it by choice or whim, so in that sense it isn't arbitrary. In this case, it is largely involuntary, and...
You're probably not the first person I've run into to refuse to clarify a problematic ambiguity and yet nevertheless expect me to guess your meaning. ...
But they don't mean the same thing, so which one do you mean? Nevermind, I'll address both questions fairly succinctly: Why would it cause offence? Be...
No, the issue is actually your confusion between the issue of what is the case, what should be the case, and what we can do about it. Last time, you a...
What, like, that the image of Spock could evoke in you the meaning of someone who has high emotional intelligence, or it could evoke in someone else t...
To be frank, if you still profess not to understand, then that is not my problem, and I can think of better ways to spend my time than to attempt to e...
1. There is an explanation. 2. Everyone doesn't need it to be explained to them. 3. Most people don't need it to be explained to them. 4. You possibly...
Could easily be interpreted that way. So much for his rhetorical skill. Seems clumsy and ill-considered. Yes it is. He said that she started it. She d...
That's not, in itself, hypocritical, and I doubt that it's hypocritical in her case. It would be hypocritical if she argued against gun ownership, wit...
I did say "as you summed it up", and that isn't how you summed it up. You summed it up in terms of making the world better or worse, rather than in te...
Aaaaand he's done it again: Trump hints at Clinton's assassination again after retracting 'birther' theory At least he finally came out and acknowledg...
Well, both probably contributed. Either way, given your acknowledgement, I take it that you no longer think that his rhetoric hasn't backfired. It obv...
I've just discovered five-dollar-Spock and five-dollar-Bill-Murray: /uploads/files/uy/w7ix3u0jonjzbex0.jpg /uploads/resized/files/a7/0byhd7bbvgbea36o....
Because I've seen him on television. I've heard what he has to say, and I've seen how he behaves. I've picked up on his poor attitude, his arrogance, ...
Yet it is a predicable cause-effect occurrence. Offensive comments cause offence. People are sensitive and there are sensitive subjects which people a...
They don't exactly have to try hard. He is like a parody or a caricature. He provides them with all the ammunition they'll ever need. Of course the me...
That's an amazing statement to make. In terms of effectiveness, yes, it has been effective, but it has also massively backfired. And in terms of subst...
What dilemma? Asymmetry, at least as you've summed it up, is not at all compelling or intuitive for me. But symmetry is. Who is it that finds it so? H...
There's a difference between truth and the idea of truth, isn't there? You start off by speaking about what the idea of truth seems to be, yet your co...
Yet he was recently active at the old place, I noticed. Greyfrairs Bobby. I also noticed that @"SophistiCat" has recently joined, and he was one of th...
Is there a reason why you have difficulty with this basic understanding? There's a big difference between understanding why people get upset at that s...
