As a general matter doing the right thing pays off, which might be why it's the right thing, but there are just too many variables in life to assume t...

The answer to the problem of evil is not to deny it and suggest that bad things can't happen to good people. Sometimes there are unjust results. Belie...

True story. A police officer told me they are called Po Po because they have the letters PO on the sides of their collar, which stands for police offi...

Let's start with why they're called cops. I heard it was because of their copper badges and they shortened it from calling them coppers to cops. It th...

The mascot for the University of Michigan is the wolverine. That's as far as the wolverine is associated with Michigan. The official state animal of M...

Your critism is fair. Only through attack can any of us expect to improve

Fine, you forced me to tell the story of How the Luna Moth Lost Half Its Tail. You have hounded me long enough with your repeated silence... Luna was ...

So touched am I by your sharing of this experience, I will set off a firework for you on December 6.

You've got to move so quickly here to get the good names. I'll be quicker with the trigger next time.

With the recent name changes, is the name BadenRob now available?

Have y'all noticed that every 4th of July you have knee pain? I think it has to do with liberty. I think.

Ignoring much of what you said just so I can tell you what I was going to say anyway, I ran a 4th of July 5k. I don't know my time yet, but I suspect ...

I know, right? You should check out the Shoutbox. Good stuff there.

Hamburgers, hotdogs, and watermelon for the 4th. Turkey for Thanksgiving. Black eyed peas for New Years. Hamantashen for Purim. Get it straight.

I fed a pig some opiods until it was swaying a slow dance to Unchained Melody. I slaughtered her right as the song ended and cooked her low and slow. ...

You had a French fry pizza? That is totally not a thing. You made that up. There must be some international confusion about Americans and their fries ...
July 03, 2024 at 14:38
I mean sort of. The bread isn't as flaky because it's Italian and not French, there are bell peppers in it, and they don't throw the pound of fries in...

Alright, so far I've ridded myself of breakfast and independence. I'm a hungry interdependent. This holiday sucks.
July 03, 2024 at 12:45
I've decided to take Independence Day metaphorically, and use it to discard an oppressive force in my life. It may be anything: a person, an ideologic...
July 03, 2024 at 10:06
Do you think that though? I don't think slave holders in the 1700s or even Nazis had no love for themselves. I just think they had no empathy, which w...

The problem is that "heart" is not really defined by you. It sounds like just gut instinct. I would think my moral decisions are based upon instinct, ...

It's also the fear that the individual is fragile in some way, that you'll break them if you criticize them. Steel is forged by hammering it which str...

Can you tell me not to tell others what to do? That seems immoral.
July 01, 2024 at 21:41
We are naturally social and rape violates the nature of humans to be social? And I suspect that each human is equal under this scenario, meaning we ca...

S was your ancestor? Curious. The owl is a goat attractant. Before I got the owl, no goats. Now they're everywhere.
