The object of a fair economic system should be to create a system where everyone can equally strive for and achieve success, with some of course perfo...
I just had me a glass of tawny port. It seemed festive, outdated, and quirky, so it was fitting that I wore my monocle while drinking it. I now feel l...
I found two solutions: heat and alcohol. The bugs and eggs die at temperatures over 50 degrees Celcius, 122 Fahrenheit. A steam cleaner would kill the...
Your post brought to mind the issue of climate change and policies responsive to it. The question of risk assessment is twofold: (1) that of assessing...
"Important" is probably the best description of my entry. Mentioning me, Joyce, and Dostoevsky in the same post makes sense. We afterall composed the ...
I had not intended to enter this contest, but in a sudden rush of energy, I created a masterpiece last evening on the laptop that teetered on my belly...
We have plenty of fresh eggs, so that's never a problem. It's the elusive nog that makes it a challenge. I sat shivering in the nog stand for hours an...
The best candy bar generally is the Snickers bar because it serves as an emergency ration, tiding one over until the next full meal. It's limitation o...
GUYS! PLEASE! I'm spouting some award winning nonsense in the Shoutbox this holiday season, and I would like at least some recognition. Where is S whe...
No, sorry, we read it in German and through a line of translaters (German to French to Spanish to German to English) we have it finally translated int...
Many families read " 'Twas the the Night Before Christmas" on Christmas on Christmas Eve, but my family actually does read The Brothers Karamazov next...
Once it snowed right before rush hour in Atlanta, and having no snow plows or other ways to treat the ice, people were stuck in their cars for 12 hour...
It's because they're Trump loyalists who will buy into whatever argument Trump advances regardless of the evidence supporting it or the logical consis...
I don't see why he's fighting to be on any ballot considering he's already told us the elections are rigged. Why does he want to enter a contest where...
Speaking of unusual meats for consumption, I give you what will likely be your biggest WTF moment of the day, perhaps even the week or month: https://...
I think the problem with this thread generally is that there is pretty concise answer to the question of whether certain languages are better than oth...
I couldn't find any articles on whether German was a better language for expressing matters literally, likely because such a thesis is horseshit, but ...
Are you just identifying your subjective opinion, or are you saying something objective? As in, you think you better express yourself with painting th...
You've got studies showing that the language makes the person more literal and less figurative? Assuming such could be measured, you'd have to prove i...
I was eating at Ludwig's and I ordered the special. I still am not completely sure what I got. /uploads/resized/files/65/etksfel4xpq5fogj.jpg I ate ha...
If you ever eat goose filled with bread chunks, it was probably stolen from the park because that's all the kids will feed them even though the sign s...
My son ate a crow he killed once. The meat was purple. It makes me sick to think about actually. He'll better survive the zombie apocalypse that will ...
If you could sell game meat, there'd be no more game. In fact, I'd be the first to mass trap all the rabbits, make a few bucks, and then tell everyone...
I do wish to clarify that I don't think Westerners are more intelligent than non-Westerners, but I limit my comments to Western values in the sense I ...
That's what this is all about? "Every way possible" should have been limited to those things along the lines of the examples given and not included th...
I did say it because I meant it. There is a moral superiority of the West to others. What's shocking is that you can't admit it. You then inserted in ...
You're ridiculous. You can't even agree that the value you adhere to are superior and so you make a reference to Trump and say "but he's as stupid as ...
And so we now are talking about the civility of poltics? American politics is more civil than Palestinian politics, at least to the extent there has b...
You've uncovered the fact that Israel is biased towards Israel? I also note that the Palestinians didn't protest the October 7 attacks, uncovering the...
I'm saying we back Israel because they have the right to defend their land that was invaded and we need not be so foolish to think that the outcome of...
The fear isn't invented, at least not for the raped women and burned babies. Are you suggesting the only way to lose is by complete takeover? No, but ...
