There are more than two sides of the particular issue. At the surface it may seem only as two. Well, by typology, there ARE two: "us" and "them". But ...
If we reduce "religion" as a system of belief that invovles a supernatural deity, and we at the same time strip from "religion" the criteria of its so...
Well, depends on the size of the religion. If two followers, chances are only one is in the know. If two billion followers, then chances are that the ...
This leads me to the consideration that just like in New-Age soothsaying and personality slating, the therapist/chart reader must be painfully aware t...
I live in a small town now, and everyone is in a relationship. Those who are not, are trying to be. There are no swinging singles, there are no swingi...
The guy rejects you, "you are too nice for the human race, go away", that's all. If a guy says "you are too nice" he means "I can't stand you any more...
I am very secure in my erectile dysfunction. I can always count on it. Never fails, 100% reliable. Tried and true. No woman left satisfied, that's my ...
I don't know whom you are addressing there, as you did not refer to whose post you are responding to. But I find it rather odd and at the same time da...
I did not say sexual selection is unsupportable. I just said there is a chance that it does not work, and if we were to decide once and for all whethe...
Does crop insurance not take "too good competition" into consideration? That's A. B. is that not all overabundant crop goes to no income or too little...
Are you saying that there are fossil records on ancient pre-historic man, where it is visible that hair disappeared first, then intelligence rose, the...
I thought that crop insurance would have taken the teeth of risk out of the agriculture industry. Two things must be true: 1. The agriculture industry...

It would be MUCH more meaningful if Oholibah was a male prostitute selling his stuff to ladies. Thus: "20 There he lusted after his female lovers, who...
That is a good argument. I have no counter argument. Thanks for arguing against your own point. I could not have come up with this myself. A minimally...
Well said. Not really... if it's only the thought that counts, for instance, there should be very many more good looking women pregnant than there are...
I wonder how long before it's Hungary's turn to declare bankruptcy. And how long before Canada's and The United States of America's. Because I somehow...
@"Hanover" I read your profile. I had to check Deuteronomy 25. I found another juicy bit: "However, if a man does not want to marry his brother’s wife...
You bet I am arguing against that. Have you been able to read my posts in their entireties, or just skimmed them over? The sexiest will couple with th...
There is another logistics-related argument against "only the best-looking and sexiest" survive. Or humorous, intelligent, etc., as the case might be....
These were funny. My favourite... Why did the chicken cross the road twice? Because it was a double-crossing chicken. But I still don't know which cha...
Barney's jokes were.... not violent? I don't know Barney(*). Looked in members' list but he must have got out in time. I still maintain that puns hurt...
There are lots to be said for monogamous marriages in the evolutionary line. One thought is that it takes a long time to raise a human child; two are ...
It was a precursor at the time when humour developed. Strenuous exercise before laughter is not a prerequisite any more. Although laughing audiences a...
I think the recipient of the joke's "hurt" is the audience himself or herself. The relief comes from not hurting that much actually. The audience feel...
in the Dilbert cartoon strip, the head of HR explains to the employees whom they can't discriminate against: "disability, religion, age, political vie...
whoever wrote that humour and IQ are correlated: how did they measure the humour level of a joke? Unless that is established, correlation can't be est...
Sorry, Sushi; my "measurement of humour" were ad-hoc ideas by myself. Humour is an art form as well as a form of pushing the limits of good taste; bot...
I like this very much. ------------ Laughter is an expression of delight. It could be due to many things, one being enjoying a joke that hits your fun...
This does make sense, exept for one glitch. The same glitch that all theories presented about selection of the survival of the fittest to fuck. The pr...
You've gotta be right. I met my present girlfriend six or seven years ago at a garage sale. I made a joke, everyone laughed, she too. I asked her out ...
One measurement is the recipient's admittance to the level of the humour in a joke. One other measurement how loud, long, and tearfully one laughs. So...
There are moods, as well, that fluctuate within an individual. One day life may seem funny, the other day, vexing, the third, sad. "You can't step int...
Wow! Thanks for all your replies. In my original post I tried to point it out how it all started. I touched on some aspects of humour, true, but the m...

It does not matter. Tonight she's my dream lover. She's about 16 years younger than I, in her early fifties... perfect age gap for a heterosexual coup...
but Democritus was even more ahead of Aristotle's time. Aristotle's doctrine was almost immediately accepted. So he was about 5 minutes ahead of time....
New atheism is the same as old atheism: belief that there is/are no god(s). No matter how you slice it, it's still baloney. No matter what name you gi...
