Consider this sentence however: "Yesterday the Iraqquake destroyed the final few buildings not otherwise destroyed in Operation Desert Storm." Maybe I...
My old xylophone is my exxylophone. You'll note that the two Xs are distinctly pronouncable. The first sounds like "eks" and the second like "z." If I...
You're most certainly welcome. It is due time such a thread were started. It seems, though, that I have done so much for so many, I often have difficu...
I think double letter X is the only combination that doesn't exxist. Exxon doesn't count because it's a proper name. There is the compound word boxxyl...
If you could step away from your "Republicans are racists" mantra, you might see that Democratic policies have been no better than Republican ones in ...
The reason you don't recall it is because you don't have any real grasp of US history. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was fillibustered and opposed most...
Once in high school, I had a mouth full of water, and at an opportune time, I nonchalantly let it seep out of my mouth onto my shirt and onto the floo...
If a sorry state of affairs arises in both homogenous and non- homogenous groups (i.e. A & -A), then it must be that sorriness just describes the huma...

Pick whatever country you'd like, and I'll find you the race, class, tribe or whatever that is the preferred group and I'll find you the oppressed gro...
Of course. If it hadn't been, the US would be an Indian nation. The first group to come over after the original pilgrims were the Dutch, which explain...
Actually, I've discussed this previously. We lie packed in a circle so that all our noses touch as we sleep. I like to be on top, nuzzling in. We all ...
Thank you for the clarification. I am now to understand RL's distinction between simplicity in English and simplicity in French. The latter being more...
I'll weigh in here as a third moderator. I can tell you that none of this has been discussed beforehand and we're not all so cozy with one another tha...
My first job was bussing tables at a Chinese restaurant for $3 per hour. Minimum wage was $3.35, but I was underage and didn't pay taxes. The funniest...

What pray tell would your lady do to you with her convulsing fingers? Would she drum about your manhood or do something far more revolting? What sorts...
I assumed that convulsing fingers were something the ladies would prefer, but for those in the know, please spare me the details of what a man would d...

This was the comment I was referring to: If all you're saying is that there are great variations in phenomenological experience, I do think that's an ...
I wouldn't expect them to behave the same, and in practice, no computer can make it past a few minutes under a Turing Test. If you're asking hypotheti...
I don't know if I followed all of your questions. The questions all seem to relate to mind/body interaction. I would expect that two people with very ...
This is really an over-read of what is occurring. Aphantasiacs most certainly can experience things. They just don't experience them in a visual way. ...
I'm unimpressed by this example. There's a world of difference between having limited internal experience and entirely lacking the ability to experien...
I'm glad you notified me because I am actually in charge of the Atlanta roads. As you might know, I-85 was set ablaze by some crackheads, leaving 700 ...
