I said: He's not though. Stanley said he made bad investments, he doesn't respect Stanley, and he withholds affection if Stanley doesn't do what he as...

Your point of order remains absurd, despite your referring to yourself as authority.

Barely.

Your position is that slavery has caused modern day whites to be disproportionately privileged, yet you acknowledge you have no proof of that and can ...

Google.

Sure, I have the right to a baseless opinion, and I suppose I have the right to be irrational, purposefully wrong, and even openly contradictory and i...

I disagree that critical rationalism is as you've characterized it. In fact, it's a gross misstatement of it. If you're lacking empirical support for ...

Because it tries to blame Southern post war racism on Reconstruction, as if the slave states weren't blatantly racist prior to the war, considering th...

Total nonsense.

Nonsense.

Totally disagree actually. These are siblings, with relationships going back to their earliest memories, dealing with parental relationships, grandpar...

Do you have reason to fear his affection will be withheld if you say no? If you do, you're being manipulated. Not ironic. Controlling. Was all well am...

Why do you hold a position that there's insufficient evidence of?

This also presumes that the success of most non-minorities (white people) is tied to inherited wealth. I just think that's false, especially among the...

Perhaps, but programs intended to equalize might actually be unfair and do nothing but exchange the people being oppressed, irrespective of whether so...

Your equating democracy as dictatorial is the problem. I understand you use the term dictator here as being any authority decreeing and enforcing rule...

A truism. Doing anything more than you "ought" is immoral by definition. But this isn't a moral question. It's a political/legal one, so we impose law...

The state charged a nominal license fee to fish. The fine was for catching more than your limit. If you couldn't pay your fine, you could pick up cans...

I was a county worker. We weren't a dictatorship, but a democracy. It was the community that decreed how the commons were divvied up.

It's not different, and it works. There are plenty of fish to be caught and deer to hunt to this day. There are also open grazing states out west, and...

Pass a law limiting the number of cows you can have and charge a fee for usage so that the land can be maintained? How would that be different from se...

Is it hysteria or just a realization that there was previously inadequate protection of children? I would not expect the kindergarten children of Fran...

Because the voting age is arbitrary, set by a decision of the democracy. It makes no more sense to make it 16 or 18 or 21, but there is an advantage t...

Anyone who lacks the capacity to vote will be taxed without representation, which would include children, the intellectually disabled, certain emotion...

This is false. No state allows 12 year olds to marry. Massachusetts has no specific minimum age law for marriage, but a judge must decide. Since the l...

Sure, but that doesn't make your point, which is that the Bible ought be interpreted in an allegorical way, but it instead inflames and derails the co...

But see: This means that God is not a prick, nor is he genocidal because we can't take the claims of what he did literally. It is the story you must r...

This is an interesting approach that pervades much of Christian thought (and I suspect many other religions). Because the truth of Christianity is bas...

I thought the point of acceptance of Jesus as your savior was to avoid eternal condemnation and gain salvation for your sins. It would seem then that ...

EVERYONE!!! YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!!! This thread has been going on for 3 years and it began with a poll. If you haven't answered it yet, please go bac...

The generosity of the posters in this thread to your solution that women should eat pussy in order to alleviate societal male dominance is either (1) ...

Beat me to it. Better evidence of his maleness is that he's referred to as the Father. If He were a She, He couldn't have banged Mary and given us Jes...

It's also possible that no one knows what a cat can taste because they can't fucking talk. My cat licks the bottom of the container when I'm through e...

Once I went camping and we tried to buy the cheapest food possible and so we bought dried beans. We didn't realize you had to soak them overnight, so ...

You have to realize that there is truth in the stories even if the stories are entirely untrue. I don't mean this to sound like some profound revelati...

Just polished off a jumbo bag of beef jerky I bought at my local Wal-Mart. Made sure not to eat the little preservative bag they throw in there to kee...

I am up for the task. I will bring harmony to this battle between the believers and the non-believers once and for all. Call me the Prince of Peace.

I don't see a contradiction unless you equate denial of the right to live out one's delusions as punishment. I don't care so much about cross dressing...

Let us assume the OP is precisely true, that all GM folks are wacka-doodle. What is the antidote you suggest that will be less harmful than the diseas...

Interesting post. I don't care what your motivations are for telling us about your autism (whether you seek sympathy or whatever) and I'm not suggesti...

I think the blue pill gives you relentless erections. I'd look at the bottle first because if you were hoping for some sort of trippy alternate realit...

I heard this song once that I can't locate now, but it was this trailer park looking guy singing (think Kid Rock, just less sophisticated) and the hoo...

I actually took what I thought was the red pill, but I was in a false reality and was tricked into taking the blue pill instead, so that's what happen...

I suspect that this might be what @"T Clark" might be referencing in his annoyance about the anti-religious comments. Racist beliefs might be absurd, ...

The only reason that religious beliefs might deserve special respect is because they're so personal. Telling someone their religion is stupid is like ...
