The unfortunate part is that she died some years ago, but the fortunate part is that we can now marry. I was thinking of a winter wedding, when it's r...

I am an evil genius. There are few bad things that ever happened that I didn't have a hand in, either as the director of the evil or at least having a...

Meh, you miss the point. Kant says nothing of reality (noumena) except that it can't be known. Space is a precondition of understanding, but he says n...

And in the South, we say "shut off the TV" and "shut off the lights," which could also be corrupted into "shut the lights." I would occasionally hear ...

The validity of statistics is ultimately proved by the occurrence of the empirical event it references. Certain empirical events occur with apparent m...

It's entirely unclear how the non-physical mind obtains information while embodied, so the decay of the body doesn't bring on new problems. My guess i...

Your concern is over judicial abuse, where if the judge is permitted to give up toten years, then it's likely he will. The attempted resolution of tha...

I agree that is the problem. You have a prosecutor vested with significant power, and it looks to be abused in this situation. I would assume that Car...

You're harping on the wrong thing here. For all misdemeanors, you can be imprisoned for up to a year, which means theoretically someone could go off f...

Do you credit Trump for the economic boom?

You're malafecalia, meaning mean as shit.

What was that word I made up that means I've run out of stupid shit to say? Does anyone remember?

Yeah, but think how long they'd have lived if they didn't smoke.

Look closer. You got 100% Agustino, not Augustine.
February 01, 2018 at 14:39
I like these tests because once they tell you who you're like, you can read more about that philosopher and learn what you think.

Either that or Baden is the Übermensch and you're just a bunch of h8rs.

It's likely Kant's controlling the outcome.

My dog Fred has never been alone. He was crammed in there with 7 siblings.

To be fair, I can only say I like your eye because you only provided me a picture of one of them. You might be like one of those dogs that has differe...
