Well as gestures go its a pretty pathetic and meaningless one isn't it? Geez

It is. This is how they want to do it though. Vote with your feet. :up:

Right. The riots could push us closer toward a deeper recession?

He's down by 10 pts in the polls.

It's not the police. It's the culture of disregard combined with a bloody history. I think the fix will come in the form of an economic depression. Th...

That is some motherfuckin character. :blush: edit: translated from American: thank you. you're awesome.

Eh, the whole PM: Baden: You're on a warning now for trolling. frank: Ok. Baden: Maybe just stay out of the thread seeing as you can't even handle rea...

It's not everyday somebody hands you an opportunity to show some character.

Are you serious?

:up: People can troll by accident? Half consciously?

That's actually a beautiful picture of things. I think it leads to a problem of evil though. Do you have a solution?

Have you ever thought of writing a sequel to Alice in Wonderland? I think there might be a sign in this of the difference between systemic and nonsyst...

There's a fair amount that's unclear here. The post I didn't read was your attempt to draw me into a debate that I wasn't interested in. I read enough...

Cool. Could one of the other moderators lay out a definition of trolling used by this site? I was told I'd be banned if I trolled anymore and I honest...

So I'll give my half-assed answer. I thought trolling was when a person comes to a forum with no other plan than to derail conversations. IOW, they ar...

Ignore them. They're a tiny minority.

How is 3,4,5 divine?

Ok.

No it doesn't.

As always, a very well thought out post, but you've given me an opportunity to gripe. Yes, there's a loud uproar every time a cop kills a black person...

Baden doesnt even try to make sense, but you usually do. My best guess us that you've gotten the impression we're having a race war?

Thank you.

Yep. That is the voice we need. Fortunately nobody can hear the stray buttheads on our little forum. :lol:

Can't argue with that.

They have shotguns at the walmart. Go get one in case you need to kill a cop. :up:

:up:

Yea I understood you. And we dont need your bullshit.

Where being "tough in crime" is a dog whistle for racism, yes.

Honestly, drive by shootings are more common. Let the Black Panthers deal with that.

Yep. How much of it comes from the tone set by their leaders? They're chosen by local governments. It comes back to local elections.

Yep. My hypothesis was that the P. theorem, as we know it, was inspired by, but can't be fully explained by practical problems. Pure ideation was a ne...

Wow! So an idea can interfere with visualization? Change your ideas and new doors open for visualization?

The 3,4,5 probably came from a technique for building structures that have 90 degree angles. The basis for the Pythagorean Theorem is a practical "tri...
