As I said, I think the factors I'm discussing have a broad application, not just to me. Everyone? I assume not. How many? I don't know. Some? Many? Mo...

I edited my response. I forgot to mention he's a man.

Mr. Connolly has stated my entire philosophy in six words.

I remember when my children were young, probably 2, 7, and 10, we were playing "Clerks." I had heard about it and it didn't sound bad. My wife and I w...

Never, ever, ever let a school bus cut in ahead of you in traffic. Never.

I think this explains a lot of your behavior as a moderator. :friendly smirk:

I’ve been ambivalent about this thread. It went somewhere I found unhelpful, but now it’s come back and is dealing with things I’m interested in discu...

You'll get no argument from me there. One of the reasons I don't get excited about President Trump is I can't imagine him doing more damage to our nat...

It used to be flowers and chocolate, but my wife has lost a lot of weight over the last five years, so it would be insensitive for me to give her much...

Yeah, you know just enough so you can feel self-righteous and superior. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Anyway, W.H. Harrison died after 31...

By your standards, what American president isn't a war criminal?

Young? Lady? I thought you knew. TimeLine is really a 53 year old, male didgeri farmer living 300 kilometers (2.5 miles) east of Perth in the part of ...

No problem. It's a relief. I'm used to having people pissed at me, but I can usually figure out why.

Reminded me. From @"TheMadFool" https://youtu.be/xMsBdMT14AA

I just used Colbert's set with George Bush as an example in another thread how humor can legitimately be used unkindly. I sometimes go back and watch ...

Well, duh. Thank you for the opportunity to gloat. Anyway, no one can tell the difference, not even Aussies and Kiwis. That's why there is so much int...

Geez. Don't you guys have better things to do than watch half-assed American political humor. Isn't anyone in Australia funny? How about Flight of the...

It doesn't surprise me you and @"unenlightened" are engaged. You clearly have been getting together privately to discuss ways of driving me crazy by c...

that’s the theme from The Mary Tyler Moore Show

If you think everyone is an asshole, there’s a good chance you’re the asshole.

we fired our guns and the British kept acoming, there wasn’t quite as many as there was while ago

I still don't get it. I just went back and checked 1) I talked about fear between men and women 2) You responded saying that intimacy makes us vulnera...

I had my own ups and downs with Rich, but I think it would be more respectful if this discussion took place as a PM. I know he's gone, and I have no p...

I have a woman friend who feels the same way you do. If her husband bought her flowers on Valentines Day, she would not respond favorably. I, personal...

He finks your hot.

I've never been talking about "profound psychological and emotional fear." I'm not talking about abused women. I'm talking about more or less regular,...

This is a little perplexing. Are you saying you don't like it that I'm not hanging around now that you've responded? Well, it's ironic that we are fin...

:shrug:

:shrug:

I wanted to post this to another discussion, but it was closed. My intention is not to reopen it, just to help put some of the great philosophers in a...

Just for clarity - If I flag a post, it remains in the discussion until a moderator looks at it and decides it should come out. Is that correct?

My favorite scene from one of my favorite movies. Made in 1984. I remember watching it at the drive-in while my infant son (33 next Saturday) screamed...

All we know is that if you use the word that shall not be written (M_ _ _n, means a person who is unintelligent. Very) it happens. We don't know what ...

Free will is what @"tim wood", R.G. Collingwood, and I call an absolute presupposition. As Collingwood says "...the distinction between truth and fals...

I'm all done for now. Maybe I'll start up another discussion at a later date..

You can have anything you want. You just have to stop wanting it.

That's not the kind of thing I'm talking about, the kind that damages relationships can kill love. Not some sort of sacred fear.

I am comfortable with my relationship with my wife and my marriage. If I say I wasn't insulted, perhaps you will think I'm rationalizing, but I've sto...

I hope I was clear in my post whom I consider responsible for the episode. I know how careful you are of others. And as I said, I'm grateful for your ...

I don't feel any need to say more along the lines of what I wrote in my post. In the beginning, I had hoped that it would be a philosophical discussio...

I've watched 2 1/2. I'm not as enamored as you, although I'm still hanging in for now. I'm guessing I won't finish the season.

As I said in my PM, I will not let this discussion devolve. At least not based on any further contribution from me. I appreciate your measured respons...

I decided I wouldn't participate in this thread anymore but I decided to come back. I had been following and enjoying all your shenanigans. But, in th...

Sounds like a sad, creepy "Gift of the Magi."

Quick, take another picture, I want to see what it looks like on the other side of the wall.

I bailed out of this discussion a couple of days ago, although I've been reading the posts. There's a darkness here that resonates with a darkness and...

Like the first. Love the second. Drunk philosopher? No opinion.

Where? Is Lenin supposed to look diabolical?

Looks like a Gary Larsen cartoon if he were a geneticist.

It is a sign of the high regard in which you are held that you are the only person on the forum who could get away with ridiculing someone for being a...
