No. I don't believe that you had Weetabix for breakfast and I don't believe that you didn't have Weetabix for breakfast.

Paul offered. They ignored him.

They misspelled "Pat Robertson".

What would be the incentive to sign it?

Yeah. How many do you have? Just try them all in the Forgotten Password page until you hit the right one.

Is this what y'all mean by "fisking"? I don't see the problem. How else are you supposed to address the different parts of someone's post?

Non sequitur.

What I meant was that they're not essentially rebels. They don't oppose the status quo for the sake of opposing the status quo. If the status quo is b...

No. It's the current status quo because it's believed to be the best way.

Uh, no. Philosophers aren't just rebels.

Just a FYI, but the study you linked to had this to say:

I don't see the connection.

Why do you ask that?

Cat's back after 3 nights out in the snow. Seems fine. :ok:

I've been doing it for 7 years and I ain't earning that much. :confused:

Are you suggesting that there's an alternative approach to the problem, or that the problem isn't really a problem at all?

Never heard of 'em. Mine's the same in summer. It's just it was so cold and snowy and icy last night. Can't be good for him.

My cat went out last night in the subzero temperature and snow. Hasn't come back yet. :(

Oh. Thanks. :)

The issue, as I explained here, is that his claims don't actually address the issues that "the left" are raising. They're strawmen.

I don't understand why you think that there's a conflict here. I agree, as per Heller, that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to bear a...
