You're not talking about behavior. You're talking about intent which you decipher entirely by skin tone. if I use the term, I mean X, unless I tell yo...

We just filled the last slot, but thank you for your interest.

The black community's use of the term doesn't help their cause in limiting its use. It is also problematic to use race as an excuse for behavior. If T...

The word can't be illegaluzed. It's protected by the Constitution. The Klan even has the right to march down the streets of Manhattan.

The solution is just to never say it. The subjectivity of deciding when it can said and not and the severity of the consequences make it just too dang...

You can only adhere to such standards if you have nothing to lose. It ignores that there are consequences for its use.

That's consistent with my observation that its use revealed one's class. I think the same holds true in the African American community.

And I'll point out that if it took you 3 months to respond to my post, it took tremendous thought to defeat it.

I scored a 0, which is typically a bad score, but here it's good, sort of like a negative cancer screening is a positive result. The test is interesti...

Crime in the US is not significantly related to religiosity. To the extent your argument that public religious expression ought be suppressed rests on...

Man on man, woman on woman, or old school?

That's my nickname. My real name is Tater Manishevitz.

No, it wasn't constructive criticism. It was an uncritically evaluated suggestion that was then critically evaluated and rebuked. Your response was no...

As I said, we're all open to feedback. I provided reasons why I didn't agree with your suggestion. You didn't respond, but instead posted the above pa...

I'm not denying victimhood, only pointing out the curiosity of separating the person from his will and treating a single person like a dual entity. If...

The person as described by you is bifurcated, with the perpetrator as their addiction and the victim as the addicted. I'm not denying the possible tru...

It's just logistically impossible to subject each thread to vote by the moderators to determine priority, not to mention such voting would be subjecti...

Unless someone here actually adopts this unsupportable view, you're arguing a straw man. Except that lawyers and salesmen also need to be educated.

The strong willed person wakes up at 5 am on Saturday and trains in the driving rain for the upcoming marathon. The weak willed one sleeps in and eats...

Guys, this thread is here to allow discussion about recent bannings.

Utilitarianism seems to require a reduction in overall harm, but the punishment cannot obviously exceed the harm of the drug itself.

She denies that occurred. https://www.thedailybeast.com/madonna-comes-forward-about-sean-penns-alleged-abuse-sean-has-never-struck-me

Alright, so let's say you got drunk and belligerent and punched a guy named Bob in the face. There are 100 percentage points of responsibility you can...

Alright, let's keep this in order: You said: I said: You then said: Mine wasn't a straw man, it was a reductio ad absurdum. That is to say, if one hol...

So you deny full responsibility to assuage your guilt so that you can feel better about yourself so that you can be a better person. Nice mental gymna...

1. You were not prohibited from starting new threads. You voluntarily chose to stop. 2. I deleted here what was previously deleted. Reposting previous...

You offered us once a personal account where you got wasted and belligerent to the point the police were involved. Obviously your belligerence was imm...

Now that the issue is resolved, I'll close this thread.

Jelly. Some might have profound posts on the first attempt, while others might be at around post 7600 and only want to talk about celebrity pubic hair...

It's not like anything actually happened. Nobody came. Nobody posted. Nobody left. Nobody even had trouble with the English language. If only someone ...

I'll do it because you've told me to, but I think I probably should wait until he declares his candidacy for VP. Usually the presidential candidate pi...

That's why I said "I think." But anyway, he should give it a try and see what happens.

I don't think that's legal under the Constitution.https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Histor...

I fully understand your post. It generalizes to the profession from a few examples. It just doesn't logically follow that because you have examples of...

I disagree that that's why it was in quotes. The way one differentiates between mental and physical illness is simply to use the word "mental" or "phy...

Perhaps there simply never was a meaningful basis to claim homosexuality was a mental illness, but that it was actually only so categorized due to rel...

All that you're saying is that corrupt people will use corrupt means to corrupt. That is true regardless of the means. It's irrelevant who or what the...

That's the best you can come up with? I must enjoy lynchings like a Klansman?

True. I will never forget this most glorious day:https://youtu.be/PDNXAlklkPk

With your permission, I'd like to put your review on the back cover of my book.

Yes. This is what you said: "If community values are indeed reflected in an effective democratic system where no one is disenfranchised and everyone h...

In response to this ad hom diversion, I'll present my own: I really fail to see why you take such challenge to the posters on this board, constantly f...

Yes, yes we do.

It is rare that I come across a post that tells a story so universal and meaningful, so i though I would share it here for everyone to read: https://t...
