That's not a limerick at all. You fail.
January 12, 2017 at 03:13
I think along these lines that a lot of drug use is self medicating. Depression, anxiety, watching your friends get blown up and stuff like that cause...

Haha. Wow, look at you, getting in on the deviancy.
January 11, 2017 at 21:37
Joyously tearing her pelt from her spine. Deviance x 1000. BAM! That one actually made me want to check myself in somewhere.
January 11, 2017 at 19:56
As Baden indicated, you are to type it out quick. Evidencing of editing shows unacceptable temperance.
January 11, 2017 at 19:50
I particularly like the misuse of "they" instead of "then," adding a purely random element and also the fact that "rhyme" almost rhymes with feline, b...

Lol. Very very nice. Bestiality and necrophilia all wrapped into one.

To my sporting Irish colleagues, I offer you this contest. Fill in the last line of this limerick. The winner is awarded random deviant of the day: I ...

This limerick holds special meaning to me because it conveys an actual childhood memory while I was visiting my grandparents in northern Greenland: Wh...

I don't drink a whole lot unless challenged.
January 11, 2017 at 17:20
I don't do drugs. Unless the benefits outweigh the negatives, you shouldn't do drugs. There might be some subjectivity in weighing the pros and the co...

Speaking only for myself, if someone contacted me in my professional capacity (and I'm not a philosopher), I'd likely respond to something very specif...

I wrote this one, which was consistent with the theme of this thread, but I wasn't entirely happy with it: There once was a young mod named Baden Who ...

Landru was very active here for a while. I think he got tired of saying "conservative meme," so he left.
January 10, 2017 at 13:59
A personal question I suppose, but it does bear some relevance, which is whether you are intentionally and rationally denying yourself opportunity or ...

I will read it. What are you wearing? I actually creeped myself out with that one. That's a keeper.

Spelldid, as in I done spelldid it damnit. It's Appalachian, coming from the overuse of the to do verb of the Celtic settlers I think. I done heard it...

My reference to Kant was as to the synthetic apriori status of causation, but not as to the true nature of reality, as that would be nuemonal. Asserti...

The problem with indeterminism as currently defined (exact sets of causes can have variable effects) is incoherent to me. It seems to violate basic ca...

SPOILER ALERT: He marries his father and artificially inseminates his sister as a prank.
January 08, 2017 at 20:08
I've set you to ignore. If it helps your ego to think it's because you're too wise and irrefutable do that.
January 08, 2017 at 03:21
Why would you have drawn a distinction between need and desire had I said desire and not need? This response makes no sense.
January 08, 2017 at 03:18
How does this distinction make a difference in the context of my post? Suppose I said "desire" and not "need," how'd you've had responded? I get there...
January 07, 2017 at 23:11
Wow. That got stupid faster than expected.

Because the priest is living a lie and offering in part a piece of that lie to all who come to him, all at the price of needlessly sacrificing having ...

Suppose you're terribly wrong here and that the need for sex and the satisfaction of that need is a more mature response than a person who has success...

It strikes me that a culture that drapes their women in heavy clothes to hide their sexuality and that enforces gender specific roles suffers from far...

If our paper and the markings on it had no depth and were truly only 2 dimensional (as in a theoretical plane), we, as 3 dimensional creatures couldn'...

If you assert an epistemological standard as high as "beyond a reasonable doubt," then I suppose we'll be forced to deny the existence of all sorts of...

Of course. If Hitler says the blue sky is blue, it's still blue, despite his somewhat sullied reputation. However, in many instances (like climate cha...

Credibility of the person is critical when you have a distrust of their data gathering and computations. Obviously, if you were accused of murdering y...

Neither and course would have been a better way to say it.

If those in charge are so dishonorable, why sully yourself interacting with them? You could do as we did when faced with this very dilemma and start y...

For those looking for a philosophy forum with substantially less moderation and administration, I'd recommend PF.

Nils, I'd suggest you rewrite the post, save it, and then delete it. That way you'll have your own record of your deleted posts. Hope this was helpful...

I agree with that, but that's not a climate issue. If what you're saying is that fossil fuels should continue to be used at will as long as there's so...
January 03, 2017 at 14:56
The reason that neither side presents a tempered response to the climate issue is because neither side is terribly concerned with the truth (we live i...

Descartes was at least important enough for Kant et al to respond to, wheras they wouldn't notice you even as you tried to pleasure them.
December 30, 2016 at 22:17
Meh. I'd say all of Western metaphysics is in trying to explain how Descartes must have gotten it wrong.
