Don't scowl. Your face will stick that way.

Just like I like it. Nice and salty.
May 24, 2018 at 10:53
Fill us in.

Can you guys work harder on your jokes? Posting an animal avatar and then pretending you're that animal by either making that animal's noise or just e...
May 24, 2018 at 05:12
Yep, but the thread itself is arguably a strawman too to the extent no one really believes rap to be philosophy, at least not of the sort we consider ...
May 23, 2018 at 13:57
I said what I'd do, which is to take the ride that seemed most fulfilling, but my decision wouldn't be based on one being more real than the other bec...
May 23, 2018 at 12:08
No it's not. It's mind blowingly deep. There is no way out of the Descartes evil genius thought experiment if you admit there really is an evil genius...
May 23, 2018 at 11:57
I'm saying how can you claim everything you know is false and then tell someone you have the magic pill to seeing reality? Wouldn't you necessarily qu...
May 23, 2018 at 11:35
Yeah. Whatever. Flip what I said.
May 23, 2018 at 11:31
I'd even argue that the deeper premise of the movie is that the real is unknowable. The taking of the pill occurred within the matrix and was just ano...

Get smaller shit.

Rap doesn't compare to rigorous philosophical discussion and analysis. This thread is silly.
May 22, 2018 at 22:39
Although your post clarified nothing, I am touched by your devotion to the memory of Indian culture that the rest of us but for you would have forgott...

How do you deny death? I get how you can be broke ass and lonely, but how do you fight off the grim reaper?
May 22, 2018 at 10:40
And you beat me to it. All other claims of love are so much less.
May 22, 2018 at 00:43
Happy birthday!
May 21, 2018 at 15:17
Your counting analogy seems to establish that the Planck discussion was irrelevant. As you're indicating, you need to accept some arbitrary discrete a...

I am excited to announce the rollout of our corporate relationship with KFC. I've reached out to our KFC partners and set up our first meeting in the ...

I would never do anything to break his perfect spirit.

Fred ate the blinds, and then some shoes, then the internet cable in the yard, then the power line into the AC unit. Then he dug the rain drainage lin...

Lovely house of horrors you live in.
May 19, 2018 at 16:39
Why do your dogs keep dying?
May 19, 2018 at 16:11
I just pointed out it is more than just cultural, but it is enshrined in our most sacred text, which means these arguments from policy won't likely ch...

It's a Constitutional thing that'll never ever change.
May 19, 2018 at 15:41
They can't even successfully educate people in the basics of reading and arithmatic.
May 19, 2018 at 14:26
It's like us all having to give up breathing because one person breathes by making annoying crow sounds, and then we all have to suffocate because of ...

The entire American police force is Irish. Entire.

I think now that the stress over all the details of the royal wedding is over, we'll all likely get along much better.
May 19, 2018 at 13:02
I don't read parentheticals.
May 19, 2018 at 12:57
There is some truth to the claim that if we illegalized all guns, there would very little difference in the death rate among gun rights advocates beca...
May 19, 2018 at 12:53
The distinction between my comment and his is that mine is taken out of context and his was pretty explicit. I think you might be being more generous ...
May 19, 2018 at 07:13
It is proper to discriminate as long as it's for a proper purpose. I discriminate when I buy shoes, making sure I only buy my size. Discriminating on ...

What do you want put in your mouth?
May 18, 2018 at 20:58
If in fact other white people stole something from other black people thousands of years ago, there is no irony in a current day white person being up...
May 18, 2018 at 20:56
It's not nitpicking. What they've done is present statistics indicating that black home ownership rate has recently declined and that blacks attend sc...
May 18, 2018 at 19:16
Where I've bolded, the word needs to be changed to "disparity." The elimination of desegregation policies is defined as the elimination of reverse dis...
May 18, 2018 at 18:50
Thank you for your contribution.
May 18, 2018 at 13:08
I see. You have value as a suffering thing.
May 18, 2018 at 13:07
If you are too tired to fully function, in what way will the world suffer?
May 18, 2018 at 13:04
I'd argue that race is an extension of family, at least genetically so, and that the impulse to care for your race more than others is evolutionarily ...
May 18, 2018 at 12:50
I'm not being disingenuous. There's nothing appropriate about telling people you disrespect them based upon their skin color at the dinner table, at t...
May 17, 2018 at 16:03
I'm saying that there is a world of difference between designating some as more trustful than others and affirmatively declaring you distrust, dislike...
May 17, 2018 at 16:00
It would be appropriate to mention at the dinner table what I said, which was simply that those most similar tend to spend the most time interacting w...
May 17, 2018 at 15:27
But that is what we're talking about. We're talking about one person's kind versus another person's kind.
May 17, 2018 at 15:21
I guess then that we're disagreeing as to the equivalency of the two statements. Not to beat a dead horse, but that I'm more trusting and feel a stron...
May 17, 2018 at 15:06
No. I don't just delete stuff I disagree with or that I think is wrong. If you write in text talk, that's a different matter.
May 17, 2018 at 14:49
He specifically said he didn't like, trust, or respect black people though.
May 17, 2018 at 14:36
But this is non-responsive. I didn't argue that we don't all have prejudices. I specifically said that we did have affinities towards our own groups. ...
May 17, 2018 at 13:58
Should I thank the Klansman for honestly telling me he hates black people?
