My thought is that if you're going to use airbnb, then you need to be ready to roll with the punches. I've stayed in a number of places and it's alway...

Undeterred by the erasure of the post from its main location, it has been moved to the Shoutbox. Interesting solution.

To be fair, whether the 9/11 attacks were caused by Bin Laden or GW or my cat ( the leader of the illuminati) or whoever isn't really philosophy. Or i...

Good point. I've not posted over there since Black Wednesday. I don't know if the takeover occurred on a Wednesday or not, but as far as I know, there...

There will be a day when this site goes down and everyone will run over to PF waiting for this site to come back up. Mark my words.

I always wanted to live in the past when things were simpler because I'm told those were the good old days. The future belongs to Mad Max, which is pr...

The last time they crucified a Jew the world never recovered.

The picture you've provided of the clover leaf was indeed helpful, although I thought the three leaves were symbolic of the three orifices typically a...

Your attacks on my great nation give me little to work with other than making the obvious leprechaun, four leaf clover, violent drunk, and potato fami...

You missed the irony of when I attempted to chastise someone for misunderstanding sarcasm, I was misunderstanding irony for sarcasm. Can anyone unders...
July 25, 2016 at 12:20
Sarcasm is when someone says the opposite of what they mean. It's sort of like if I suggested you should take sarcasm literally. That'd be sarcastic. ...

Does anyone suspect a correlation between PF's technical problems and our sudden popularity? I'm guessing complete coincidence.
July 24, 2016 at 20:48
Since there are now cameras everywhere, why haven't any ever caught a ghost doing some mischief?
July 24, 2016 at 20:47
Sarcasm. I will say, though, that after they resolve the more serious problem related to killing the autistic, they will need to work on the issue of ...

I can post some fliers around my neighborhood.

Well, I think if we can get the aim thing right, we can work on the truck thing later.
July 22, 2016 at 15:28
The problem then isn't guns; it's aim.
July 22, 2016 at 14:58
You can just read my posts if you're looking for something respectable.

I never understood the PF business model, but what the hell do I know? The old PF stayed afloat through a bunch of volunteers, donations, and even don...
July 22, 2016 at 13:38
That's not obvious. That's just some economic theory you want to be true so you've asserted it with amazing confidence. http://www.forbes.com/sites/mi...

If your position is simply that there should be a minimum wage, then there's not much to argue, considering there already is one. Whether that ought t...
July 21, 2016 at 17:08
At least recognize your anti-business bias. Why blame the businessman for not making enough money to pay higher wages instead of blaming the worker fo...
July 21, 2016 at 13:12
Brilliant. I can only pay $5 per hour, some guy is willing to accept it, but I'm required to pay $6, so the government has helped us all out by shutti...
July 21, 2016 at 13:06
The logic isn't twisted. It's just your failure to recognize that most small business are barely keeping afloat and the entitlement to keep all your p...
July 21, 2016 at 13:04
Yes, yes it is. There are objections to the minimum wage law, but that pales in comparison to what you're suggesting, which is the setting of all wage...

Our Marxists are your conservatives.
July 20, 2016 at 23:44
I think you guys should join the USAU (USA Union). You'd adopt the US dollar, we could fly back and forth and work in each other's countries, and all ...
July 20, 2016 at 15:11
That's precisely what I'm saying. I consider this post of yours an excellent secondary source for gaining a full understanding of Hanoverian thought.
July 20, 2016 at 14:00
If for no reason other than to hear the sweet melody of your voice when you respond. So we'll have a committee debate and decide what each person shou...

I don't know Wayfarer's position exactly, but I don't categorize God as I would the number 4. The number 4 is descriptive, where God is thought (at le...
July 19, 2016 at 02:31
What do you mean by "numbers"? Obviously numerals representing amounts exist, but wouldn't an actual amount, like 4, be a descriptive term, like an ad...

Prior to my dying (fatiguing), I have a child. That child is a new bundle of energy. He then fatigues and dies. This cycle does not lead to an eventua...

If I start at 9, I can do a 90 bundle house and sexually satisfy the entire neighborhood by 11. The only part you beat me on is that you only lose 6 p...

I am both a beast and talkative, thus representing a new breed of person: versatile, intelligent, charming, powerful, and overflowing with kindness. I...

I heard about that on the radio. Is it some sort of hook up app?
July 12, 2016 at 13:13
Gender words have nothing to do with communication, as it's clear that we all sufficiently communicated long before anyone objected to certain words b...

I like the idea of robocops. I'm creating this movie in my head where all the criminals, all the cops, the judges, the prisoners, everything are robot...

What the OP is saying, which I think is generally true, is that there is no specific purpose we can attribute to our existence. Considering the secula...

If I work for myself, what profits am I entitled to? Why should I only be entitled to certain profits if I work for someone else?
July 11, 2016 at 03:23
So we're in agreement: all should earn their keep, with equal scorn heaped upon the rich and the poor who are relying upon others.
July 09, 2016 at 19:39
I do. Optimism, positivity, and patriotism are things Europeans can't understand (or stand) about Americans. What confuses and annoys them most is our...

But the reality is that sometimes those are the only choices. If you decided tomorrow to open a candy store and needed someone to help work a few hour...
July 09, 2016 at 19:10
The virtue of work is in earning your own keep. Whether the work available to you is virtuous in some other regard might be an added benefit, but ther...

There's actually an answer to your G-d question. Orthodox Jews don't speak the Hebrew name of God outside of prayer and religious contexts. To do so w...
July 09, 2016 at 03:24
You really don't stay on point very well. You said that the Senate violated procedure in its failure to vote on the Obama nominee and therefore put th...
July 08, 2016 at 20:45
I think that is what every Republican says, thus the significant anti-establishment sentiment among Republicans.
July 08, 2016 at 20:36
What procedural rule was violated? My copy of the Constitution doesn't set out a timeline for when the Senate is required to evaluate Justice nominees...
July 08, 2016 at 19:24
You sound like a Tea Partier, arguing for re-establishing the Republican ideology as it was intended.
July 08, 2016 at 19:22
It would if there were actually a law that permitted the discriminatory murder of black suspects and the Court needed to strike it down. As it is, we'...

How would the country benefit by voting on a bad nominee?
