As sweetly as Allahu Snackbars?
June 09, 2017 at 03:03
I bet pepper kills more.
June 09, 2017 at 02:54
Yeah, Trump is Hitler guys. He should be kicked out of office, kicked in the nads, and sent to a tiny, sparsely populated island. Maybe Corsica. Or Pa...

I'm not liking the abuse of language here. What you're talking about is the body living on for a longer amount of time than it does now, but a really ...
June 09, 2017 at 00:39
Because it's a serious problem.
June 09, 2017 at 00:21
Help what?
June 08, 2017 at 23:55
Cool to ignore terrorism?
June 08, 2017 at 22:32
As a general comment, I had been quite attracted to ignosticism for a long time because it almost perfectly summed up my irritation with arguments for...
June 08, 2017 at 22:25
I have always stated that there is no evidence at present. And yes, this issue is currently being used as a witch hunt against Trump and an attempt to...
June 08, 2017 at 19:52
Lol. So? Nothing has been made public, and until then, I will withhold judgment. I suspect you and Schiff may want there to be such evidence, but that...
June 08, 2017 at 19:37
I can admit to being unclear in my wording, but I see you didn't dispute what I said when I clarified, so there's nothing more for me to say. The inve...
June 08, 2017 at 19:23
Comey asserted that Trump was not under investigation and that no votes were tampered with. The former accusation applies to Trump himself and the lat...

This: Is not the same as this:
June 08, 2017 at 18:57
Right, he didn't say that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia because, at present, there is no evidence to that effect. :-}
June 08, 2017 at 18:55
Sorry, you sound way too conspiratorial.
June 08, 2017 at 18:52
This is nutty. Did you watch the testimony? Do you not see that his actions have been the definition of non-partisan?
June 08, 2017 at 18:50
Comey is a man of integrity and decency who faced down an erratic bully and ego-maniac in Trump. I commend him. That said, Comey, despite being fired ...

Nice. I've only seen Naruto of those you listed, but I have a decently sized collection. My favorites are probably Gankutsuou, Texhnolyze, and Samurai...
June 08, 2017 at 00:20
I'm not actually being paranoid, since the mods have actually deleted posts without telling me several times before. Have you actually watched any ani...
June 08, 2017 at 00:06
An ambiguous grin. You've either deleted a post of mine or you've seen Code Geass before.
June 07, 2017 at 23:58
That's a very bizarre list. A lot of key figures are left out. Then again, I suppose if it's reflective of contemporary analytic philosophers, it's no...
June 07, 2017 at 22:14
Plus, all these states, companies, universities, and countries that are now vowing to uphold the Paris Accord agreements or even exceed them only prov...

Agustino: actualizing potentials faster than any demiurge!
June 07, 2017 at 01:59
That is absurd. Neoconservatives only had a modicum of power under George W's presidency, and indirectly at that.
June 07, 2017 at 01:56
I actually might actually try this some time. I'm not actually sure, though. ;)
June 07, 2017 at 01:51
I don't know. How many do you mean by "neoconservatives?"
June 07, 2017 at 01:47
Not all of them are, no.
June 07, 2017 at 01:38
What are you talking about?
June 07, 2017 at 01:33
Pot, meet kettle.

I was clearly using both words to mean the same thing. A fetus is most definitely conscious, just not as conscious as a more developed human organism....

I don't think this is how religious people define them. You seem to have assumed the Humean line on the subject, perhaps unconsciously.
June 06, 2017 at 20:06
Are you in the film, BC?
June 06, 2017 at 19:43
That's very surprising. He's a well known person, even outside of academia.
June 06, 2017 at 16:32
I already linked a book that does that. As a general comment, I can say that he's one of those guys who thinks that resistance to terrorism, however i...
June 06, 2017 at 16:17
Nothing in particular, unless you want me to go hunting for quotes. I might also note that I used to be a brainless Chomsky admirer myself, having wat...

I retract nothing! https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Chomsky-Reader-Peter-Collier/dp/189355497X
June 06, 2017 at 15:42
No, it's not that cool.
June 06, 2017 at 15:40
Analytic philosophy?
June 06, 2017 at 15:35
Wot.
June 06, 2017 at 15:32
I've no doubt that his drooling followers pinned that label on him. In any event, I don't wish to say he isn't or hasn't been important, but that his ...
June 06, 2017 at 15:28
This is trying to have one's cake and eat it too. I once identified as such a person but then thought better of it. It unduly waters down the meaning ...
June 06, 2017 at 15:25
I wouldn't know. I doubt he did that single-handedly, and I've heard that his own theory is not the most accepted by linguists.
June 06, 2017 at 15:23
I will say this: I admire Chomsky for calling out Foucault, Derrida, and their ilk as obscurantist charlatans.
June 06, 2017 at 15:20
Exactly.
June 06, 2017 at 15:18
Morons?
June 06, 2017 at 15:08
What are the real parents doing, and how old are you?
June 06, 2017 at 03:35
I should say that it's good to see jamal actually posting and wiping the floor with his own leftist mods. Arkady shut them down well, too. This is ref...
June 06, 2017 at 03:14
Then you didn't find God.
June 06, 2017 at 03:11
So he doesn't fall into any of the categories you listed?
June 06, 2017 at 03:10
Sounds good to me.
