I cast my ballot today, and y'all will all be relieved that as to the presidential race, I voted for nobody, which I do believe will be better than ei...
There are different sorts of love, some openly conditional, like that between spouses where there are certain explicit boundaries (e.g. forsaking all ...
Calling a male a cunt is a European thing. I'd not heard that before, but I always like to learn new usages. I've heard it to be used to women of cour...
If intended to insult is defined as insult, then the statement "I intended to insult you, but I failed" would be a logical contradiction, but it's not...
What does this even mean, that there is some hypothetical reasonable man that would be insulted by certain comments, so it is therefore considered obj...
Why don't we eliminate the Senate, considering Wyoming's two Senators have the same power as your two Senators, yet they represent a small fraction of...
Trump's lawyer, preparing for a blistering campaign: /uploads/resized/files/6a/udhomc0vqem274cs.jpg You guys following this story? He thought she was ...
You're so sensitive. My flippancy is based upon my obvious irrelevancy in these matters, regardless of the level of my comprehension. That is to say, ...
#1 - doesn't concern me because I don't think whatever economic disaster we face in the future will have anything to do with this. What'll probably ki...
[ It's like asking how we should sentence those who steal. It depends. It depends on what they stole, how they stole it, why they stole it, and maybe ...
If personal character were the primary driver in who I voted for, I wouldn't vote for Trump, but it's not. I guess you just wanted to point out that T...
I was just watching the new movie documenting the Chicago 7, dealing with 7 college aged kids protesting the Vietnam war who ended up being charged wi...
It's not false. I noted above that Shokin himself was corrupt, and I do know he was accused of seeking bribes, so that's why they wanted him out. Bloo...
There's a difference between "acceptable" and "legal." Whether Trump is worse is an interesting argument where can try to figure out who sucks more. I...
Not sure, but I think his dad is, but he spends a lot of time in the basement not answering questions or appearing in public, so I'm not completely su...

No, I pointed this out. Quoting myself, an always reliable source: Biden bragged on camera that it was his withholding of $1b in US aid to Ukraine tha...
If I'm inconsistent in my treatment of Trump versus Biden, that just means I'm hypocritical, not that I'm wrong. Regardless, maybe Biden nor Trump are...
You're awful dismissive of Hunter Biden's involvement with an organization that the Obama administration and the EU believed to be corrupt, so much so...
Why they're his shill seems problematic. Your position is that he's just the lucky beneficiary of a cover up. Seems unlikely. In any event, I don't wa...
As I understand the recent news cycle as it pertains to Trump and Biden: As told from the right, Burisma is a Ukrainian gas and oil producer that was ...
To my international friends, I'd like to share with you that I today received my absentee ballot to vote for president, and I do realize my vote might...
Had the original Constitution contained the 13th Amendment prohibiting slavery, then the civil war would likely have been averted, so you could argue ...
I've not read it in a while, so I'm not sure I can comment on that specifically. I think it's held out as a terrible decision from a legal analysis pe...
Purpose implies meaning, whereas use doesn't require it. It's the difference between the teleos and the cause. If you look at the world as every event...
This is only a problem because you worship the idol of utility, believing that usefulness is the highest good. I'd aim for purpose over use. Sisyphus ...
My brother used to hide a piece of the puzzle so he could come by at the end and finish it. Maybe that describes a type of philosopher too, the type t...
Well, you're suggesting that the originalists temper the meaning and the liberals expand the meaning, which is to concede that what's occurring is jud...
So what's the principle you advocate here, that the 9 Justices act as philosopher kings and either re-write or strike down every law that, in their op...
Since what's good for the goose is good for the gander, you must be suggesting that if Barrett isn't confirmed in time, then the Republicans should aw...
Actually more complex than that. Under the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA), if you treat an exempt salaried employee as an hourly employee by pro ratin...
We judge everything, from the clouds to decide if we think it might rain to the bridge to see if might collapse, so why not judge people as well in or...

I've been studying. So there's Cocoa Puffs, Apple Jacks, Lucky Charms, Fruity Pebbles, and Count Chocula. I just hope I remember them while they're ki...
