I reworded

How did you infer that? I was questioning you comparing a free market to evolution.

I’ll spell out my objections in literal terms. If prices aren’t affordable then sick people will go bankrupt and that’s a terrible thing.

Because the argument doesn’t make any sense to me. Somehow inflated drug prices is like evolution and because human intervention has brought about unh...

The basic principal of evolution is that the heritable characteristics of biological populations change over successive generations due to mutations m...

That may be true if you’re talking about the evolution of species by natural selection but you’d be equivocating if you then apply this to this metaph...

That isn’t an argument. There’s a missing premise, presumably that it’s good for healthcare costs to evolve naturally by market forces. But is it? In ...

The Lib Dems are really getting on my nerves with their anti-Corbyn hysteria. They won’t even work with him to stop No Deal?

I don’t see how that follows.

Well, I’m opposed to the death penalty, albeit not for that reason.

I think in his case the public's biggest concern is that without his testimony it will be harder to bring to justice all the other people involved in ...

Because @"Michael" @"Baden" is overseeing his autopsy. That can't be a coincidence.

He tried to kill himself a few days ago but was taken off suicide watch. That seems pretty stupid. Do they usually end it so quickly?

Apparently he hanged himself. Whilst on suicide watch. What incompetence by the prison.

Jeffrey Epstein 'found dead in cell'

Yeah, pretty sure May’s agreement is the compromise. What the government want is for the EU to give us more without us giving anything back.

I watched an anime recently. This boy and girl switch bodies. I loved the art.

Two days till a two week holiday. Yay.

Why do you say that? If you count the Cromwell years as a break in government then the UK’s has been continuous since 1660.

It’s pretty crazy that Mitch can just refuse to hear bills passed by the House.

Pretty sure the UK’s is older.

Yes. See Kant's transcendental idealism and Putnam's internal realism. Also see Plantinga's How to be an Anti-Realist: The last sentence is key. One c...

Do you not understand the difference between causation and subject matter/representation? When I talk to you my speech is caused by my body (lungs, vo...

So why would I send it to ten different people?

Even if your experience isn't about an external world it doesn't then follow that there isn't an external world, which is why there is a middle ground...

You can argue that the objects of perception are identical to qualia but also argue that external world things exist and are causally responsible for ...

Realism isn't simply the view that there are things that exist independent of perception and idealism isn't simply the view that only one's own subjec...

Your problem starts when your common sense suggests different answers to you than mine does to me. Because you'd be wrong.

Buy a bar in Cambodia and invite me to come work with you. Thanks. Talk about something new. Like whether or not Mount Everest was the tallest mountai...

I was only joking.

You waited 2 days. You have 24 hours to say your goodbyes.

I’ll have you know they’ll win 650 seats at the next election.

Vote Lib Dem

@"Baden" likes having his face licked.

Except for Hanover. He's still here.

Colleague explained to me a great Prime Minister Boris Johnson drinking game: 1. Start drinking 2. Don't stop

I'm an easy, sassy feminist.

Fucked up? That's probably the tamest thing you've ever said on here. Are you OK? Do you need help?

How about John Major.

Hi, I'm Michael. Most of what I say is useless and lacks substance. But I like to think that I'm occasionally witty.

Get over it.

Hey, he was elected by 92,000 Conservative members. Don't blame the rest of us.

I hear he'll lose a vote of no confidence tomorrow leading to a General Election and a Lib Dem majority. If only. Apparently the first thing he said a...

Good riddance.

Who are we talking about?

According to this: The economy gained a net 11.6 million jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to below the historical norm. Average weekly earnings for...

100% political correctness. 100% college progressives. That’s 200% ruination right there! Fucking leftist liberals.
