I deliberately excluded that category. Sex isn't necessary in the slightest.

No, it's not. And regardless of the credibility? Are you serious? Neither the presenter nor myself are doing this. So if you are attempting to throw u...

What, are you disappointed she's a Muslim or something?
August 31, 2016 at 13:30
If you think about it, most human activity outside of eating, drinking, sleeping, defecating, and friendship is a gigantic and unnecessary waste of ti...
August 31, 2016 at 13:29
No, not like that.

This reminds of a Ford car company ad I keep being spammed with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOl82etSF-4 Every time it comes on I want to stab my ...

There's no way that reporter was not a self-identified liberal who's voting for Hillary.
August 29, 2016 at 15:30
It's ironic he says this, as Wayfarer pointed out, because he's one of the chief exponents of philosophy-as-handmaiden to science and therefore the ca...
August 29, 2016 at 14:19
Yeah, and I think TGW made a good point about defining it. Now that Clinton has mentioned it, and dozens of pundits have followed up with their denunc...

Because the media and politicians want you to be afraid. Very afraid!
August 29, 2016 at 01:32
No, I didn't. I don't know if you're making a statistical claim or just giving your impression. If it's the former, then of course I won't dispute it,...

I don't think she was saying that the statistic is BS, but that the opinion the statistic is tracking is BS, which it is.
August 28, 2016 at 18:31
The precise opposite is occurring with alarming frequency and normalcy. The mainstream media, most major politicians in Europe and America, and virtua...

"Conflate" is exactly what I didn't do. I made a distinction, one which you have refused to see, which is also made in the video, which you apparently...

Hole-E-Mackerel, Baden. It amazes me that you never watched the video and never paid attention to what I have said. I'm simply going to quote myself, ...

You disagree? If you do, then you are disagreeing with reality, the condition of which is called delusion.
August 28, 2016 at 16:15
I was just sharing clarificatory information. Benkei's statement was merely the impetus to share it. I never said anything about disagreeing with him,...

I get tired of the constant refrain heard whenever Islam is being discussed that "not all Muslims are the bad guys." It's uttered almost like a nervou...
August 28, 2016 at 15:40
That's correct. The point is to show that the minority who either are terrorists or hold opinions in agreement with terrorists, is much larger than mo...
August 28, 2016 at 15:15
Did you... watch the video? Also, your quote claims that Clarion is not credible, because... wait for it... (pregnant silence) Islamophobia! I would w...

Indeed. This would be a true statement and not a threat to secularism at all. Sarkozy is an idiot, but his remarks don't at all suggest he wants to di...
August 27, 2016 at 17:22
The idea would be that French nuns are a part of French culture. Burkinis are not. Therefore the former are okay at beaches, but not the latter. I don...

See my first post.

Where have you been in this thread....

It's too late in the present case, so I will simply leave you with this: War has already been declared, and it has been declared against you. The forc...
August 25, 2016 at 20:58
Glad I could help you in some way.
August 25, 2016 at 20:06
Well then it's as I thought. I did not misunderstand you, for this (non) answer de facto means to do nothing, at least nothing more than we've been do...

>:O No.
August 25, 2016 at 18:13
Good riddance. One suspects the link you provide at the end of your ridiculous tirade is best fit for yourself, given the impression emanating from yo...
August 25, 2016 at 18:04
So what is your proposal? The continued absence of one in your posts does nothing, I'm afraid, but imply that you agree with inaction. If I am misunde...
August 25, 2016 at 17:49
Now I know why it seems I have been talking to a brick wall. This disclosure only confirms my suspicions that talking with you has been a waste of tim...
August 25, 2016 at 14:59
This is because we never allocated the proper resources to help stabilize the country. Obama didn't want to go through congress to get approval to dec...

It is an even greater affront to human dignity and rights not to intervene with the appropriate measures to end injustice and barbarity. You appear to...

Collateral damage is tragic and ought not sit well with anyone. You don't say.... Who is firing them, and at whom, and for what purpose? These are que...
August 24, 2016 at 19:57
But they haven't.
August 24, 2016 at 16:21
That's correct about what it doesn't consist of.
August 24, 2016 at 15:07
So, they cite an organization that isn't BLM to prove that BLM cares about black on black violence. Whites also do kill other whites, but not at the s...
August 24, 2016 at 15:04
It remains apparent.
August 24, 2016 at 14:55
Then please refer me to (or as is more likely, concoct) this serious point I seem to have missed buried under the mountain of sarcasm you have provide...
August 24, 2016 at 14:46
If you lead with all sarcasm, without providing a serious counter-point, then you don't deserve my comment.
August 24, 2016 at 14:31
If the shoe fits, then it fits.
August 24, 2016 at 14:29
False. There was higher black employment without the minimum wage, and this was during segregation. This is due to the fact that blacks commit more cr...
August 24, 2016 at 14:26
A solid bait, but I'm not taking it. Your language is even more calculated to show that continuing the conversation would be unproductive.
August 24, 2016 at 14:00
Which one?
August 24, 2016 at 03:18
A catch-22. I already said I would not respond to the fellow, and yet I am effectively compelled to do so lest I be made to look like a petulant grudg...
