The PhD hesitancy rate is curious, but it's still only about 25%, meaning it remains a minority position. That study doesn't identify which PhDs were ...

Had the results not been age adjusted, then your proper objection would have been that they weren't age adjusted, not the opposite, as you're arguing ...

Authentic deli sodas are from Dr. Brown's, not Dr. Pepper, and sure as hell not Mr. Pibb, whatever that non-degreed fucker is trying to peddle.

My father wasn't played by Jackie Gleason. He was Jackie Gleason.

There are those in need and those who can provide, and we are all both and we should all be both. A life without giving and a life without needing are...

I remember some old guy who used to come down here and take all our Dr. Pepper. That was annoying.

If you leave out the Italian seasoning and spread it thick, it sounds like it'd make a dog treat.

Even if you yell "CANNONBALL!" first?

Is the etiquette rule at the Y still that you have to yell "CANNONBALL!" before you jump in? I haven't been there in a while and wasn't sure if I woul...

The church was the state. This distinction between a state that had power to enforce and a voluntary morality of religion is a new invention.

This isn't a fair translation. From the same Wiki article as your quote above, it is noted to say: "If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat....

It is doubtful that someone would volunteer their ear or mouth for that purpose, that the orifice would be large enough to accommodate a standard size...

Nice.

If God created the big bang, you'd still be left with the question of why. You'd also be left with that question if he didn't.

Fun fact: We get our animal names from the Germanic roots of English, but food names from the Romance roots of the French invaders. We therefore don't...

Why is this a hypothetical? People ask God questions all the time. I just don't understand why you limit them to a single question.

Actually they enjoy being useful.

Oh come now, like we're all so drunk with power that we just can't wait to get the final revenge on insolent posters by clicking the ban button and se...

"Freedom" is a member of the null set as well. Don't abandon Witty now! Meaning is use. These words do a whole lot in our world, identifiable referent...

Assuming you are correct, why is that a reason to dispense with the acceptance of God? Quoting Nietzsche: "When one gives up the Christian faith, one ...

"In the 20 years since September 11, 2001, the United States has spent more than $2 trillion on the war in Afghanistan. That’s $300 million dollars pe...

Because there are just so many words that rhyme with Nantucket.

Yours was the most complex and developed on an interpersonal level, with complex motives and behaviors. If it had an ounce of truth, kudos for being v...

Why do miracles become impotent if they're metaphorical? They just become not literal. All of these anti-God threads degenerate into beefs people have...

So there was a fox, and he saw these delicious grapes, but they were just out of reach, so he jumped and jumped to try to get them. Despite his best e...

This is a rejection of a religion that holds to those views you have specified, but not of all religion. By analogy, a government that prohibits women...

Good work. That one I thought had the most depth. I mean, other than mine.

Interesting. I went back and looked at my review, and my comment was that it lacked the perspective of a participant, which is consistent with it bein...

You'll never know for certain what anyone meant, but that's not to say you can't know anything at all. My view on biblical interpretation is to focus ...

TPF's predecessor was purchased by Porat and quickly ran it into the ground. His plan, I believe, was to purchase a number of specialty websites and p...

Should the tie hold, a run off election is in order, or, a tie breaker new story must be submitted. Or, we wrestle for it. Naked. Except for a modesty...

We had been reminiscing about former members, and I thought about him, our mischievous forefather. And by "mischievous," I mean "sociopathic." There h...

Actually, this isn't a universally accepted interpretation. Creation ex nihilio is one interpretation, but rejected by others (particularly the Mormon...

Yeah, but there will be recounts, litigation, insurrections, and years will pass before we ever know who won.

First prize is dinner with you. Second prize is two dinners with you.

For the next contest can we do audiobooks? It's tiring to read them all.

These are legal and pragmatic questions and most responses are variable depending upon the particular corporation. If you're really interested, you ca...

Of course I know your position. You've posted it. It's not a matter of whether I'm an authoritarian or not for me to tell you that you should vaccinat...

I know all the arguments posited to justify the wrong decision. It's not that you're misunderstood. It's that you misunderstand.

Cain v. Abel, Jacob v. Esau, Joseph vs. his brothers. This outcome of sibling rivalry thing is a central part of our foundational myth. Cautionary tal...

Every 7th 7 year period, or 49, but it's at the end of the 49th, so I think 50. It should be coming soon I'd think because for the life of me I can't ...
