I provided you with evidence when you asked for it, and I can assure you that I've been "informed" by many sources prior to our discussion. It does no...
No, sometimes it - "we" (the people) - simply must. I would say no, because we don't actually need to. We can incarcerate him physically and financial...
I almost don't know what to say: this is one big silly ad hominem attack: I'm uninformed, incapable of being persuaded, and grasping at lofty truths b...
It's reasonable to stop responding whenever. Each of our posts and responses is meant to be a contribution to "philosophical" discussion. Making any s...
I think human happiness doesn't quite work this way if only because it would be a terrible evolutionary strategy to have individuals take their own li...
Oh god please let it be so! :groan: Trump knows his way around a crowd and camera, but that's the extent of his genius I would say. It is truly a stro...
Some things will return to normal, but it will be a long time before we forget about Trump and the many reasons he was elected. Trump appealed to cons...
I think Trump is teaching us all some valuable lessons by dragging us around his unhinged world (and home again?). I've been saying it for quite awhil...
There's something priceless and magical about an incorrigible gun nut being tricked into performing fellatio on national television. These macho Ameri...
Admittedly twitter doesn't interest me much, nor do I know its grand workings, but are you averring that twitter isn't all about deep discussion of su...
But shirley, it's not just like cat-calling for one of the most popular conservative pundits to solicit a debate from one of the most popular progress...
She used Shapiro's identity as a male against him by framing his invitation as typical sexually motivated male behavior. In the #MeToo era it's quite ...
If Ocasio was a man, could he have accused Shapiro of "dick-calling"? We may never know... But it does reek of lazy minded identity politics to charac...
All rational nations want nukes, if they can afford them, out of healthy fear alone (except maybe nations such as Canada who are comfortably nestled i...
If there were no more nukes then nations of all stripes would be bereft of a major incentive to avoid the escalation of open and direct warfare. NATO ...
Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls have picked them, every one. When will they ever learn? Where have all the young girls gone? Gone for hus...
Arpiao's astonishment when Sacha told him he has 43 guns almost humanized him for a moment, but then nodded in understanding when he explained they we...
I don't know the origin of the quote, but I can tell you it's pompous tripe, and here's why: "Truths" don't belong to churches. Truth was around long ...
It seems much more plausible and likely that the Trump campaign just colluded of its own accord. Proposing that it's actually a Dem conspiracy sounds ...
So you're saying that Trump's collusion with Russia is actually one big trap that was set by Obama and Hillary in order to try and get him impeached o...
It's undemocratic, to be sure, but we must at least acknowledge the normative argument that typically justifies censorship. "The greater good" and all...
If you ban the speech of one crackpot, you're inevitably going to create additional crackpots. If we let the crackpots have their freedom of thought a...
Some among us would tell you 'because if we don't censor people then people like Trump can get elected", which on the surface seems to have some merit...
Around a year ago Glenn Beck did an interview with Anderson Cooper. The power couple "Glanderson Booper" was instantly born. I couldn't resists making...
Sometimes I do silly things like transcribe the ramblings of lunatics just to see what it looks like. Here are the results of my most recent such ende...
I looked for my favorite female Fox anchor, but I can't actually tell them apart... http://www.stevedennie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/foxnewsblond...
Heh. I tried to think of a better known American villain than Jeffery Dahmer to make it more obviously satirical, but I couldn't think of anyone. Agai...
So for instance, a lifestyle clause in a marriage contract or prenup which stipulates incarceration as penalty would be unenforceable and voidable. Th...
I should probably have made it a bit more obvious, but I edited an image for satirical purposes :blush: Scary how hard it is to tell the difference th...
The capitalization of words which have no earthly business being capitalized bugs the shit out of me. I see it quite often in writing that veers towar...
How is "failing to achieve 100% intimacy" actually harmful? You've equated "not actualizing one's full potential" with "irredeemable harm". If I'm gat...
If a couple has an "open marriage" and allows each other to fornicate with third parties, are they doing irreparable harm to one another? If so, pleas...
Why do adulterers need punishment beyond being divorced though? I've asked you why such a harsh punishment is needed, and you've said because existing...
Adultery being cheating is already quasi-legal (you can get a potentially lucrative divorce if your spouse cheats on you), but incarceration is going ...
Lots of things very seriously negatively affect other people. When a father goes to work in a mine, or on an extended military tour, the wife and chil...
Distinct things must consist of more than the same fundamental constituent in order to be distinct from one another. The different arrangements themse...
How can incarcerating someone for such a long period of time possibly be an appropriate punishment for engaging in consensual sex? How is imprisonment...
I'm starting to think the polls have become meaningless, or broken. Something has certainly changed. There's only a 13% difference between Trump's all...
Nope. Your forum password consists of 1's and 0's, but your password is more than mere 1's and 0's: it's information contained in the arrangement of 1...
I like how Sacha kept it simple. There's no way for Moore to spin the "interview" as fake news without juxtaposing himself with pedophilia. Pretty sur...
Tonight's episode of "Who is America" is definitely the best yet. It's becoming clear that aside from comedy, the show actually is in pursuit of some ...
I'm also a global learner. I was told so as a child, I believed them, and it's been a self-fulfilling prophecy ever since... What exactly is global le...
It's fairly exciting, but not uncontroversial. The first ten minutes of this News video encapsulates the trepidation and complaints coming from many F...
