:lol: Yeah, It's used a lot on dating sites where they request contact from folks with a GSOH. I have never been involved in any way with on-line dati...
At least your pessimism tries to emerge within a GSOH (good sense of humour) framework. People often ruminate using a trigger thought such as 'I wonde...
Only in the same way that your opinions are absolute proof. I reject your 'talisman' imagery as such is woo woo based. I don't think that people who h...
Are you suggesting that none of the early city states like Jericho and Uruk, or joined city states such as the Sumerians or the Greeks, ever employed ...
Such is based mostly on personal interpretation, as the reliable historical evidence is almost non-existent. It seems to me that all the issues you me...
Yep, here is something Aristotle was supposed to have taught to Alexander the butcher. "Aristotle taught Alexander that a monarchy is only better than...
But it can often be a great risk to try to fight the powers that currently be, especially if they are hurting sooooo many people, every day. Mr Modi i...
I broadly agree but I also think that becoming over-cautious can also be unwise. Is 'no pain no gain,' not cautious enough, in your opinion? Would you...
Can the concept of balance exist in 1D or 2D? You cant 'fall' in flatland or lineland. :nerd: the Greek poet Hesiod (c.700 bc), ‘observe due measure; ...
Which definition of materialism are you cautioning against here? 1. A tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important...
Good to hear from you! I read your recent posts on the AN one trick pony trek. As usual your points were well made. What for you is 'true' regarding t...
A cross between a cocker spaniel and a poodle. I am a cat person anyway, so what do I know, but It's nice when a lost dog gets back home. Only if it's...
Good news from my local neighbourhood website from a local neighbour: "Our Cockapoo has just been found quite far from her house but all is well." Jus...
His death served the personal purpose, causes and meaning he cherished most in his life imo. If your death can serve your life, then you die well, imo...
I do. My reasoning normally begins around, 'I am not directly responsible for everything bad that happens to everyone in this world.' Then at some poi...
I think that series with Neil De Grasse Tyson was a complete waste of time. Why try to remake the same series Carl Sagan delivered almost to perfectio...
There was one or two that were set in times other than the 20th century. The series 'Enterprise,' set at the point where humans first set off into int...
Thanks for the info. I am grateful for some new B5 crumbs, but a cartoon!!!!! :groan: (I will of course buy it on DVD, nonetheless :sweat: ) A time tr...
Is there something about the American constitution I don't understand? Is it unamendable by any sitting government? Is a national referendum required ...
Especially when his year of birth is 46 and mine is 64. On a more positive note, that makes me 'the reverse' of Trump. But I don't know if that's as g...
I was at a small family gathering yesterday, to celebrate my 59th birthday, when I found out who has the same birthday and month as me. :cry: :rofl: :...
I agree, but I think trump would have to study intensely for at least 10 years, to reach the intellect level of a moron, But, what does that say about...
No No No No No No It's because a trump supporter, a religious zealot, a capitalist, a billionaire, a plutocrat, a celebrity cult, a personality cult, ...
I have read your posts on this thread. I agree with others who have posted that your claims are about outliers. You don't comment on the majority of t...
I also, was, and still am, 'doing' and I also regularly review what I did, why I did it, who I was, who and what I have become and what I now want. So...
:lol: and surely they itch something awful at times! This woman Elaine Davidson holds the world record for the most facial piercings: https://d1zkpmdx...
The overall imagery I get from what you typed above gives me too much of an impression that you have been a bystander in your own life. I am sure that...
The gay rights movement eventually improved the lives of folks like @"Andrew4Handel" significantly, in many countries of the world. An openly gay pers...
Personally, I no longer care about the 'junk in someone's trunk.' I accept the gender and sex you tell me you are. The rest is a matter of a case by c...
Science and technology often extends human choice. I am not an antinatalist and for what it's worth, if I could have been asked for consent to be born...
I broadly agree with the content of your statement above, but the term 'family order' can be problematic in the variations it can manifest. In my worl...
Yeah, I was referring to consent after birth and perhaps even after you are legally recognised as an adult. Some consider a tattoo or a body piercing,...
Yes, because fear can defeat truth and love, inside the mind of an individual. Abject slavery is preferred by many, to the threat of death, especially...
I am sure that's a sliding scale from slave to slave. When you reach the point of being willing to gamble your life to achieve it, I think you don't j...
In what way do you think the above quote from the Spartacus movie, would impact the idea that a human slave would yearn to be free and would revolt to...
As a 20+ I remember being in a Glasgow pub with my father. He was not a 'hardman' himself, but he knew a few. There was a well known Glasgow gangster ...
Some chickens have been fully cooked. We both know it's futile to try to reverse the cooking but as I have typed many times, demonstrating how deep th...

No, Mr Atwill was talking about the various clashes he has had with atheists such as Dr Richard Carrier, regarding the veracity of the content of his ...
Cheers Vera! :flower: :flower: I assume you are referring to a small part of our exchange on the 'culture is critical,' thread, yes? We had plenty of ...
The last two words of that sentence reminded me of a very pleasant email exchange I had with Joseph Atwill, who is the author of Caesars Messiah. http...
