There are allegations that Leave broke rules regarding the spending cap, but it's also clear that Remain spent more than Leave and benefited from a go...

And I say it's unethical to demand a new vote because you lost pretty much fair and square. Nothing's perfect of course. I'm less troubled by misstate...

My general response to your hyper-litigious position, which essentially submits any disagreeable voter outcome to a do over if any irregularity can be...

I expect diligence on the part of your leaders as well as allowances on the part of other European nations in making sure people don't die of curable ...

Like I'm saying though, if the justification of those who wanted to leave is that they simply believe in the concept of home rule and autonomy, then y...

No, it is but one website among many and it is nothing like a utility. If you don't want to communicate via Facebook, then don't. I don't. If I don't ...

Sure, and if the choice were made to stay, there'd be people arguing that they didn't realize what staying really meant. That's the thing about decisi...

But can you require that Tumblr and Facebook allow the posting of pornography? That seems more oppressive than allowing them to prohibit it. There's t...

The rules of civility do not require that one commit suicide and fall on their sword when confronted with an attack. You have the right to scratch, cl...

Why the subdued response to Atlanta's national soccer championship but such excitement when the World Cup was played? Y'all are a bunch of Anti-Atlant...

Those are nasty and the center of them is usually 1000 degrees.

I was thinking of ordering one too, but I'm on this low carb diet right now.

You're not a Stoic or a cynic, you're just a guy sitting next to his computer beside a stack of old pizza boxes.

Don't tell me how to express my love.
December 08, 2018 at 23:55
Don't assume we haven't.
December 08, 2018 at 23:53
What makes you interesting is that you truly don't care what others think, exuding an unapologetic confidence in your chosen path of shiftlesness.
December 08, 2018 at 23:52
I'm still laughing over my last post.
December 08, 2018 at 23:47
Yeah, no shit.
December 08, 2018 at 23:43
You do too. You just will to talk about your lack of willpower. You've got 6,100 posts yet you insist you can't do anything.

The sadness I see in the eyes of those who have failed causes me such jubilation. When under stress, I close my eyes tightly and imagine those sullen ...

Sounds like your large competitor is going to need to pay you off. Maybe you can get paid to sell your patent.

He'd think about how he lived his whole life in a box only to escape to see a murder. If I were that man from the box, I'd start to question the meani...

If I say, "I looked, and it is not raining," we may properly assume I looked at "it" and made that determination, which means that "it" is not a dummy...
December 05, 2018 at 20:21
"It" references a generalized state of being, making no specific reference to outside or the meteorological conditions because your sentence has no co...

It would strike me that the only serious linguistic issue would be one where a speaker could not convey his thoughts due to formal rules in place, yet...

Kind of funny. To respond to your WHOLE post now that you've made me, my middle age has not brought about putting on my comfy pants. I seem to be work...

I think it might be part basset hound because of the big ears. He sure does go through his chew toys though!
December 05, 2018 at 14:56
Choice B, in order to be a sentence, it must have a subject by definition, but a fully formed thought need not have an explicit subject, as in @"jamal...
December 05, 2018 at 14:32
I looked up how the various languages conveyed "It is raining." German says es regnet, meaning it raining (leaving out the "is"). French does the same...
December 05, 2018 at 14:21
What is the philosophical import of the question? The meaning of the sentence is not in dispute, which means at best you've found an anamolous grammat...

I was for real on the travel for dental care idea. I'd choose a developing eastern European country over Mexico at least. The guy I talked to swears b...

You're not a farmer, so you know this how?

It can be based upon any criteria the society wants it be set on. We set speed limits on roadways on the amount of safety we want to assure (0 mph is ...

Sorry to hear about your teeth. Generally, I wouldn't listen to a Brit when it comes to dental care. I was talking to some guy the other day and he wa...

Well, if you're going to limit your claim to actual losses and not imaginary ones, then you're going to be limiting your recovery.

It turns out I live under a rock, never having heard of this documentary. I might watch it now though. I don't watch much TV or Netflix. I can't get t...

Are they suggesting offering money in addition to the property loss, like punitive damages or something? Obviously you want to make an argument that m...

Nice. The forbidden lady on lady love. While contrary to all I hold dear, I cannot seem to avert my eyes from it.

As a Hanover family tradition, I line all my exes up between the turkey and green beans and give them all a good rogering while doing an Irish jig wit...

If I might comment upon the oddness of discussing the pain of the breakupee while the breakuper is in the room.
November 27, 2018 at 18:35
In that regard I'm less a conservative and a bit more liberal/grossly reckless. I think everyone should sleep with everyone, if for no other reason th...

@"Michael" I have nothing to say to you other than to summon you over to this thread so that you can enjoy my two posts above. Enjoy.

If it was escapism, it was lame. At least escape to the beach or somewhere it's warm. After that, go have sex with @"Waya"'s ex-boyfriend. If she lear...
