Of course I don't think that Israel can go and invade any nation it feels (or actually is) morally superior to. The basis for the war is that Israel w...

Yes, those are the facts, just as you've stated them. Israel awoke Monday morning and decided today's the day we'll yank premies from their warm incub...

What you need to do is realize it's not about A versus B. Again, you carry around this torch of equality like it's a virtue as if to argue you bring n...

Would you choose to live in Egypt or Israel. What's hard to believe is that you don't think you can say it out loud that your society is better than o...

This a caricature of your opponent's position, claiming that only good can be seen in their own behavior and evil in the other's. The caricature of yo...

It is important that each generation not think the next generation be worth a damn. That is how it always has been and we have so far been successful....

You might hang out with idiots, so your impression of your peers being stupider than Gen Zs is understandable. I mean look at who you interact with in...

I'm not siding with the parent who thinks you can magically teach his child to be creative, but I do think creativity can likely be taught, or at leas...

I recognize the irony, but Google says: https://www.deseret.com/2016/11/23/20600988/how-digital-media-has-changed-creativity The article agrees in par...

Oftentimes people limit their suggestions to those things people are interested in, but here you have advised me of what I would not be interested in ...

Another bit of clarification. Does the term "comment" relate only to posts here on TPF or does it relate to everything I say and write anywhere? I pre...
December 15, 2023 at 16:45
I liked how you accidently said it, as if you were talking down to the youngsters, calling them "my youngsters." Most great literature is created rand...

It's New Year's resolution time, and I haven't decided what challenge I'll take on this year. I'm thinking about resuming my tumbling training that I ...

Not to be overly critical, but what is the difference between that song and just a long and melodious yawn?
December 15, 2023 at 13:14
This was my favorite part, where you shifted from reminiscing about your youth to chastising the whippersnappers for their lack of appreciation of tim...

You are one of the only witnesses then as to what the priests stored beneath the church. Do tell.

You seem like you were a pleasant child.

It was a bitch to get the heavy metal cover off so you could jump down.

I found that my parenting method overcompensated for what I was deprived, but it was then tempered by my innate cheapness. That resulted in my taking ...
December 14, 2023 at 21:07
Thank you for this. It validates my parenting style where I avoided providing my kids with memories they wanted to relive so as to not burden them wit...

It's funny because I'm Jewish and Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I get a big tree and listen to Christmas music for weeks. My theory is th...

So that's a honeybee. I just have a bunch of yellow jackets and hornets. Bee keeping is pretty common where I live and I've seen the supplies for sale...
December 13, 2023 at 16:07
I thought of raising bees, but I heard they would yield 20 pounds of honey per season, which is slightly over the ounce I usually require Instead I've...

I hate when I wake up married and can't remember what happened.

What does the word "true" add to this sentence?
December 10, 2023 at 20:54
I actually believe the opposite in that there are no coincidences.
December 10, 2023 at 14:30
Well, as we say in Swahili, certain words are "vigumu kutafsiri kwa usahihi."

I always thought doves were country pigeons, just not as snazzy.

All I have are 2010 Corollas, all in various states of disrepair. Most have problems with the titles. Turns out I'm not at all a reputable dealer.

I think that sort of relegation is offensive to salt. But, should you insist that it be treated as a red headed step-child, I would then point out tha...

Does salt count as a spice?

This isn't responsive though to your attempt to negate the distinction between the object and the perception. Our conversation initially revolved arou...
December 07, 2023 at 02:19
You say there are two sorts of perceptions: direct and indirect. I ask you to give me examples of each. You say it's too complicated? I want to bring ...

Very well, once you overcome your exasperation, in column 1 tell me those instances where we see directly and in column 2 tell me those instances wher...
December 06, 2023 at 22:36
So I ask my question once again so I can understand what you're talking about. You say there are certain objects we see directly. We will call them D....
