" " That's an empty quote. I took my advice and kept my response really short so I wouldn't make a mistake. But then I explained it and went on and on...
Mildly oppressive childhoods aren't nearly as good as truly traumatic childhoods in fostering financial success and relentless resolve. Hopefully you ...
What about an Easy Bake oven that cooks with a light bulb? I was a boy, so I had trucks and guns, but I always did enjoy a homemade-ish chocolate cake...
All my chicken comes prepackaged in styrofoam containers with plastic wrap and they say Perdue or Tyson on them. I've never actually seen a butcher ha...
Me? I didn't have just a sandwich for dinner. I had a Manwich and chips. And chips are crisps, not fries. https://i.postimg.cc/sX0qNXQZ/download-12-1....
Chicken breasts from the air fryer sounds painfully dry. A food to enjoy on a humid day after swimming in the pool and then taking a bath and drinking...
Apparently TPF was down, but out of respect, it occured when I was asleep. I awoke only to the memory of others speaking of the difficult times. I fee...
This causes me to want to better clarify what non-essentialism entails. It does not entail an abandonment of definition entirely. It just means there ...
The problem is that English doesn't adequately distinguish the counterfactual or hypothetical conditional from the logical conditional of the syllogis...

If someone accepts that a zygote is a second class person, then I do think they'll have a problem not prioritizing the mother's life. A real pro-lifer...
