Don't drink any water so that you'll have only dry heaves. Nurse the dehydration headache by squinting directly into the sun and aggressively rubbing ...
The oath of the President is: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will t...
Whether something is a legal defense isn't a matter of opinion, but is a matter of law. For example,, if I'm from Colorado where pot is legal and I sm...

I think that's true in most cases, but pragmatism isn't necessarily a virtue. We do all sorts of things that have no utility. An ethic of pragmatism s...
No, this isn't a great understanding, clever, or interesting. It's a reductio ad absurdum. The absurd argument presented is that true persuasion is th...
Yet you can't persuade anyone who has even an elementary understanding of your position, which is that you'll say whatever it is you need to to obtain...
Then the entirety of your argument would be "don't murder because I prefer people not murder." That doesn't seem at all persuasive. If you interject o...
The problem is that you don't articulate a specific principle here that determines morality from immorality. If you are deriving a moral principal and...
If you really adhere to Emotivism, you'll have to explain how it is at all rational to engage in ethical debate, considering you're admitting that you...
If you're going to say it's immoral to do drugs or immoral to illegalize drugs or assert any position on morality, you have to first assert what crite...
This ignores the accepted distinction between malum prohibitum (wrongs by virtue of statute) and malum in se (wrongs in themselves). The former might ...
Yes./uploads/files/uq/3b7cmwbh4x578az1.jpg All sorts of theories why they're triangular. Haman was the villian in the Book of Esther, read every Purim...
That does look delicious, but doesn't look like rugelach. Rugelach is rolled and often has nuts and cinnamon. Your kolachky reminds me more of hamanta...
Life is about experiences, and the value of money offers little if all you do is buy objects. Go do things, ideally, but not necessarily, with others ...
I'm lucky in that I was both born into priviledge and lucky enough to feel entitled. I'm also lucky enough not to worry about those who feel guilty fo...
To update you on my day, I returned home and let Fred inside and he had shit caked on his tail and reeked to high hell. I put on rubber gloves, put hi...
Not all of Europe is in the EU, like Switzerland, Norway, Iceland (to the extent that is part of Europe), to name a few. Why will Britain's departure ...
Like I said, it's always been a matter of degree, which doesn't imply you have to accept the degree of autonomy that exists in N. Korea in order to be...
And the same can be said of anyone who has the spotlight on them, which is that they should limit their performance to their expertise and to what the...
In the 1840s, the House of Lords arrived at the McNaughten Rule, which states as follows: "the jurors ought to be told in all cases that every man is ...
The UK is steeped in tradition. It's not like they radically swing from one direction to the next. They have a monarchy for God sake. And it's not lik...
This makes a number of assumptions: that the UK's free agent status won't allow them to negotiate better deals with other trading partners (like the U...
First of all, if the birdies have no wings, then they're going to be eaten by those who do. It's just a matter of time. Second, yes, everything is goi...
This figure has gained some interest as of late, making some question who's really gaining an advantage from the centralized Euro. I realize that the ...
I've never seen a nation so in fear of independence. I know the world's a great big scary place little birdie, but take a deep breath, jump off from u...
They could hold a second referendum, so why don't they? The democracy is obviously not allowing it. If polling shows my congressman no longer popular,...
So your argument is that they shouldn't have used a referendum to determine whether to stay or leave. That's critically different than the argument th...
Other than informing me of your hostility, little else is communicated in your post. It's fairly obvious that the purpose of the referendum was to det...
Your response is nonsense really, with this global attack against the "science" of referenda, arguing they are meaningless exercises. You ignore the f...
Speaking of Santa, I just booked a trip for me and my boys to go dog sledding in Fairbanks, which is close to the North Pole I think. It should be fun...
What the referendum tells us is that a majority of the people voting voted to trigger leaving and all who voted knew that was the consequence of the v...
Ok, and a rerun undermines the legitimacy of the result as well. The question is what to do about violations. Lock the cheaters up, fine them, throw t...
Sure, but what was written on the bus wasn't one of them. I pointed out the violation of the rules seemed to deal with spending more than the cap perm...
A lie, assuming it was one, isn't a campaign violation. It's just what happens in political events. If you overturned every election every time a lie ...
Let us assume that all transexualism is a delusional state, the question would then be whether there is greater harm in allowing these folks to live o...
Sure, but it's not as you said, which was that Germany had economically propped up poorer European nations and that created an overall more prosperous...
I'd like to think we still have an ideologically principled and spiteful Europe that hands out vindictive punishments that damages its own self intere...
