You have implied multiple times that even if he did it, his juvenule status on the occasion makes it ok. So do you think he did it?

Orrin Hatch disagrees with you. He said if Kavanaugh did it, he shouldn't be on the Supreme Court.

If that's more to the point, then your point is not about a precautionary suspension. It's that you believe that having demonstrated a lack of respect...

You think Kavanaugh might get drunk and try to rape a constitutional lawyer?

Damn, you too? When did you folks degrade to a mob mentality? Or maybe you were always there. I just expected more.

Again, you're talking about possible lies. Stick to your principles until it gets difficult. Right.

Eh, you can read Susan Collins' statement. If you dont understand 'we won't be served by abandoning the presumption of innocence' you're in the legal ...

I'm so depressed. Gaaawd.

How are you defining mind?

There had to be something bad about it. :razz:

It's French.

Sure. I was in a deli watching it. The place erupted with "You're a fucking liar!" when he gave his childish answers about his yearbook. He could stil...

His reputation is already shredded. If the senate doesn't confirm him, it will be even worse. Put yourself in his shoes and imagine you're innocent.

He's not seeking re-election to the senate.

So delaying is for lack of any other strategy but hope for a miracle. I agree. It's strange to criticize the Supreme Court's behavior re: ruling on go...

Could be.

How are the Democrats benefited by a delay?

Can you explain why the Republicans were resistant to an extended investigation? I'm a little confused about that. Is it that they thought that the lo...

In which it is still embedded.

I don't think monotheism does inevitably lead to atheism or humanism. Prosperity does that. No longer at the mercy of nature, a sense of separation fr...

So it's native to Marx, it clarifies, brings explicitness, and fills in blanks left by Marx (which would serve to fortify?) Does it also facilitate pr...

What's the advantage of looking at Marx's outlook mathematically?

Do people not make purposeless observations in your world? I'm imagining you in a museum pointing to a sculpture asking, "What's his point?"

:up:

Numbers and math have roots in trade, so describing it in the language of math creates an image if the child rising up to reduce the parent. Weatherfo...

Sure. We made it all the way to Australia 60,000 years ago. We're awesome. If the process is a natural one, though, why couldn't it have echoes and ha...

I really have no idea.

"Just as the hand has many fingers, God gives us many paths." -- Kublai Khan's father in answer to a Christian who asked him why he wouldn't convert t...

How so? The disparities move one toward the realm of abstraction? As if the different explanations are varying attempts to point to the same thing?

I agree with all of that. Goethe's description of his childhood: "Half child's play, half God in the heart." Would you correlate monotheism with a sor...

I'm not following how the sun serves as an explanation here as opposed to a thing to be explained. I don't deny that divinity played an explanatory ro...

Flake says "We cant have that on the court" referring to Kavanaugh's partisan outburst. Just need one more.

Yep. I'm just looking beyond the question posed by the situation and just looking at what it's doing to Americans to have to helplessly watch this.

I agree with everything you said. But as far as I can tell, every reasonable person around me believes he attempted rape at the age of 16. If he's con...

Remember the ancients saw gods all around them. The sun is one of the oldest prominent divinities. What does the sun explain exactly? What strikes me ...

I'm reading a couple of books about the history of economies and money. I'm at a stage of reorganizing my thoughts. I'm realizing I was being way too ...

They won't plow it through if more than 1 swing senator votes no. Graham has explained the Democratic strategy repeatedly now. If you havent seen Matt...

The FBI is investigating because the swing voters threatened to reject Kavanaugh. If they do and the democrats manage to take the Senate in November, ...

Exactly.

What persuades me most is a mixture of facts and my own poor logic. I don't trust your genius. But my method, which may just be a product of temperame...

The pundits I watched suggested that he was coached to be emotional and that he just took it too far. Their reasoning was that he was calm when origin...

We westerners tend to think of markets as a step toward social sophistication because the development of a merchant class coincided with an exit from ...

Uh no. They think it will cost them a seat on the Supreme Court.

I'm totally fearless. But that's what I was saying. We see stuff in the light of our purposes.

That's part of the checks and balances. I think they'll probably overturn Roe in a few years. Could Democrats take the whole legislature and amend the...

That would make a good tattoo.
