Oh my God! Was the upper upper part (where's the name of the site, forum, inbox, members etc.) RED TOO? :vomit: Soo... When will come back those sites...

? Isn't what you actually do define what you are? No? So now it's something else.

Ah! Even a condescending remark to the discussion. Wasn't it blue? Blue was nice. What's wrong with the color? Don't like the color. FYI.

What on Earth are you talking about? Or are you being ironic? People of Hong Kong enjoyed not only wealth, but also Western freedoms when part of the ...

These are the best, thank you Wayfarer :lol:

Yet oversimplification is a problem especially if we just want to get a simple model and then assume it can tell more that it does. One can obviously ...

Let's say both with Brexit and in the GOP primaries things didn't go as planned. At least the Democrats could handle the somewhat similar revolt by co...

It might not, but are we able to really answer your question? How are the Brexiteers depicted in the UK? Brexit and Trump are phenomena were the left ...

I think that Zimbardo's and Milgram's experiments just hit a nerve that people wanted to hear. These experiments are so well known because they simply...

Just like the Romans called one place Germania. Copied in the similar way. Yet Modern Germany and 'the Germans' is even a younger thing than the talk ...

Well, actually you can have even private companies in an universal health care system. Starting from private insurance companies ordered by law to giv...

Look, every other health care system IN THE WORLD is cheaper than the US system. And A LOT of these health care systems even with their flaws make the...

You forgot the most important quote from Nunberg: In my view the whole dog-whistle thing just shows how inflamed and defunct the current debate has be...

Especially when the term and (the layered identity) started to be used only from the late 17th Century onwards and Britishness started to be used in t...

Could not have said it better myself.

And actually it sounds totally logical. No matter how tolerant the society is, to be in a gender minority will likely cause bit of difficulty among pe...

About this topic, from the (now fixed link's) Introduction part I find this important. It shows from what perspective the author starts: What comes to...

The abstract doesn't cover all what a paper says, so I don't know everything what Ketchen Lipson et al say. From the abstract on the link you gave: Wh...

Or they just choose something from the plate of rotten choices given to them. And just whine about the choices being bad, but not doing anything thems...

At least for me it's important that we aren't nowhere near the peak of glaciation: there's not a glacier where my house is now.

Nah. Let's just go to renewables and use nuclear energy as a stop gap and forget the absurd visions of Thanos environmentalism (from Avengers, you kno...

Actually you are wrong, unenlightened. You can indeed have all of the three. You just erase the public debt that the central bank has, which is the la...

What side on an argument would say they are hysterical (too)?

Tribalism is this catch-all that we are served at the present. As if our society would truly be so rigid and not as permissive as it really is. Natura...

Of course one alternative line exists: And that is just to be happy what the EU is now and not go forward with even more integration. Why wouldn't the...

Coming from the promised land of associations I can assure you the metaphor of movie fans and a movie fan club works very well. I do understand that y...

Until there is a technological revolution, when the whole concept changes. Just look at transportation: modern ships aren't far more faster than the c...

(an answer to Pattern-chaser from page 3) One clear fact is the media itself of the internet. We are discussing these topics with total strangers who ...

Well, those kind of threads where the views of others are respected and cordial manners dominate are few and far between. More typical is the disrespe...

That is how the debate is portrayed, unfortunately. The real problem is that you need to be critical to improve things, but if you assume that every c...

It's not only the mathematics, Zeno's tortoise paradox and Arrow paradox just show how time is related to movement and change. Assume everything, to t...

Thanks for the answers. I too believe that there is something of a more general phenomenon working here than just something unique to British politics...

I would like to ask the British here one question, even thought of opening a different thread: What has happened to the Conservative Party? There migh...

The sea shore, a river or a sea does exist physically just like a mountain range. That they are a border between two states is something totally else.

Every space program has it's good days and bad ones. Even going to the Moon can be difficult, with other planets (Mars is the real probe eater) it's e...

The belief that all politics is Identity politics is a toxic pill for democracy and for a Republic to function, yet an extremely popular belief, which...

? Even in my lifetime a lot of borders have been redrawn, one important border that I personally crossed over has vanished after the unification of tw...

So you aren't talking about evolution, but a repeat of abiogenesis: basically you are looking for a single cell organism to 'pop into existence' somew...

Still I don't get your reasoning. It's as if you have made up your mind that somehow the evolution of new species has stopped. Speciation takes a long...

When enough people agree on there existing a state, that state and it's borders do exist. Sometimes people have problems in understanding the existenc...

Yet anti-semitism has been quite universal in Europe. Russia has had it's pogroms and various countries have gone after the Jews in some way or anothe...

It's the matter how you eliminate it. Sometimes being confrontational isn't the best way as likely the agitators look for that confrontation and need ...

Give an example. Because what typically would be "hate speech" in this way would be just propaganda for the war, a tool used to sell the war.

Just an observation that conflicts don't emerge from the existence of hate speech. Just like conflicts don't emerge from countries having armed forces...

Yet wars don't rise from the existence of hate speech. Hate speech or it's variants can be used in propaganda, yet the idea that hate speech being a r...

Not really, We might start with saying that a) Beijing is in China, b) Mumbai is in India and c) if there is a route from Beijing to Mumbai where ther...

Are really saying this in our time of genetics and cross-breed hybrids? Or imply that humans haven't bred animals and plants? Or impacted the globe by...

Yes, it is wrong. Especially the blaming the stupidity of people, or people getting stupid, as the reason for this. People adapt to the environment an...

Yes, there is the theoretical possibility of Brexit simply being cancelled. I would enjoy this outcome: all the fuss and holloring, all the political ...

As an outsider, I think what is worse is the condition of the whole conservative party. Talk about a train wreck planned and executed by the railroad ...
