They ought to cage up the old and infirm in a box and let the rest of us go about our business. I'll deal with my vomit and fever while the old are st...

"The flu" doesn't really describe a particular disease, but each year it's a different strain. If you're saying that at some point in everyone's life ...

I was thinking this Forum should be shut down to protect people from my infectious personality. That joke is smirk funny, but not haha funny I'll admi...

If you bathe in the in the juices of the recently departed prior to the death of their parasites, you could acquire their diseases. It's for that reas...
March 16, 2020 at 03:29
Then you should be more discrete about who you shack up with.
March 16, 2020 at 03:18
Even if the death rate were 5% of those infected, that wouldn't equate anywhere near 5% of the total population. Communicable diseases are common and ...

My strategy for this and really my strategy for everything: Tracht gut, vet zein gut. I'll let you know how it turns out, but so far, so good.
March 16, 2020 at 03:08
This changes your point, which was that graph told me something. Now you're telling me I can extrapolate from other data from other countries. Maybe y...
March 15, 2020 at 21:05
Actually no, and neither do you, as there's no way to extrapolate based on that graph, unless you're suggesting that y is approaching infinity based u...

I was talking about deaths, not every Corona induced sneeze. 6455/worldwide population is the current number.
March 15, 2020 at 17:37
In all seriousness, there are expectations that the death toll in my home state of Georgia will double at some point. It's currently at 1 but on the v...

That assumes no other justification.

I found some toilet paper online with a delivery date in one month. i've never scheduled a shit out that far, but that's the new reality.
March 15, 2020 at 16:37
I don't even understand how Adam's act of eating from the tree of good and evil was evil if he didn't know what evil even was until he ate the apple.
March 14, 2020 at 22:19
I think it's a conspiracy started by the international toilet paper conglomerate to raise toilet paper prices. I suspect toilet paper operatives have ...
March 14, 2020 at 13:48
Can you really use a bidet and no paper? Sounds like you'd just have a drippy muddy bunghole. I'd almost prefer slick pasty skid marks to that, but I ...
March 14, 2020 at 02:47
I just took my last toilet paper wiped shit. From now on I have to use pine needles, sandpaper, old French novels, and masturbatory socks. I have plen...
March 14, 2020 at 00:58
It was interesting to see what they ran out of. Bread, eggs, toilet paper, and rice were all gone. Seafood, canned beans, yogurt, and cheese were plen...
March 14, 2020 at 00:33
I went to my local supermarket and they were out of eggs and toilet paper, so no toilet paper omelettes for me this week.
March 13, 2020 at 22:57
I was going to go down to the morgue and put on a hazmat suit and dance around a bunch of empty Corona bottles and post it on YouTube and see if it go...

I agree you shouldn't have kids outside a committed relationship, but the financial concerns aren't my primary concerns.
March 11, 2020 at 02:09
If you wait until you can afford children, you'll never have them

Wallows. As I recall, he was someone before that too. I can't remember all the incarnations.
March 09, 2020 at 21:06
Since your name change, I'm picking up a defiant vibe. Maybe change your name again and return to the Eeyore thing you had going for a while. It was j...

Milliniel?

Suppose there are only two people on this island (hopefully just me and you, that'd be bliss) and I misremember that S is for things you found ironic....

I think I pay around 25% to 30%. It's hard to know after state, federal, local, and sales tax and it's so complicated. I pay a high school grad at a s...

The question isn't so much where he falls on the political spectrum when compared to much of Europe. It's where he falls on the spectrum in the US and...
March 03, 2020 at 14:26
In the earlier parts of this thread I think posters have said what I'm about to reiterate, but then at some point this discussion became more of a lin...
March 03, 2020 at 14:09
So I read it, and my take is somewhat different, likely just because of my starting point on such things. To begin, I saw the objective of the article...

In researching this issue, I noted that the Black Plague is said to have killed as much as 50% of Europe in the mid 1300s. America was spared as far a...

My thoughts: The LSD use is a symptom of the illness. You might see a neurologist to rule out a physical cause of your problems but I doubt the testin...
February 26, 2020 at 01:26
I'll read the article because you've posted something I might finally be interested in. I will point out also that the responses so far have been enti...

I don't fully follow your numbers. You save 75% of your income and you won't buy a home until you can make a 50% down payment? This points to either (...

I actually believe there needs to be a major change to the hacked up private health insurance situation. Obamacare was dying and Trump killed whatever...

I ran a Google search and it returned this post, so it looks like you said it. Now we can discuss it
February 21, 2020 at 23:22
Nice. Thankful for that post. Can't forget that every moment is sacred.
February 20, 2020 at 13:34
It does not logically follow that a literal reading of the NT is required just because it is the only source of information about Jesus. I don't follo...

This isn't responsive to my claim that the biblical prohibition against homosexuality derives from Leviticus and not Genesis.
February 19, 2020 at 19:34
There are specific passages forbidding homosexual acts (Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13) which are not part of the Eden story of Genesis. That is, the anti-...

God was not known in Genesis as Yahweh, but later in Exodus at 6:3, God reveals his name as having been Yahweh. Despite this claim in Exodus, it's bee...

And I also was having this very discussion with a Chasidic rabbi down at my local Chabad center and his position was unequivocal that God was all good...

I don't understand how this reasoning suggests that first world people have higher mental wants than physical. It seems more reasonable to state that ...
February 18, 2020 at 19:05
Theologies worth discussing are logical within their self-contained systems and involve some degree of rigor in deciphering their texts. It's very sim...
February 18, 2020 at 15:11
This strikes me as incorrect, but I'll defer to whatever cites you have to Judaic authority, as I recognize there might be variation in Jewish thought...

This is a strange thread to get all worked up about I think. We all suffer from disabilities of some sort, I suppose, with some weaker in some respect...

I don't know the song about Rotterdam, but I'll tell my son Rotterdam might not be real. He'll need to know that before he goes there. He's a finance ...

My son told he might study abroad as well. He found somewhere in Rotterdam he'd like to go, which I am to learn in addition to Amsterdam is another ci...
