Is this only true of texts that purport to explain how the world came to be and what any creator(s) want(s) us to do?
May 18, 2017 at 15:31
At the very least there needs to be some law in place to automatically establish an independent investigation if the President/Government/Congress are...

There's evidence of obstruction of justice. Bit more serious than the usual fuck-ups.

Eh, small fries. Just wait till he fires Rosenstein and has his replacement drop the special prosecutor.
May 18, 2017 at 06:33
Well, the original post is a response/reaction to Sophie's article talk. Obviously you don't need to read it to address the general issue of gender id...

No, Jägerbombs. Hmm, Jägerbomb jello shots...
May 17, 2017 at 15:42
Probably wasn't. It'd just be an unintended consequence of a vague regulation. Can't speak for the U.S., but the Lib Dem manifesto specifically says t...

Shame they can't also pledge to finding a way to make it odourless. That stuff stinks. Not my cup of tea, but an extra £1bn would be nice.
May 17, 2017 at 11:52
@"Sapientia"; read the Lib Dem manifesto? Here's an interesting part:

You need an NHS. Albeit not one that runs on Windows XP...

Maybe he's secretly been using a second account and forgot he wasn't using that one right now. ;)
May 15, 2017 at 20:16
But it was the third sentence you wrote in the OP. Surely the content of your feedback post counts as intended feedback?
May 15, 2017 at 19:50
I guess I misunderstood you then when you said "it seems to me that the moderators are intent on attacking me whenever they get the chance to".
May 15, 2017 at 19:43
You're always the exceptional exception.
May 15, 2017 at 19:38
That's not true. Baden and I admitted to being wrong about censoring discovery's posts attacking the previous Thai king, and other mods took issue wit...
May 15, 2017 at 19:37
Aside from the strangeness of referring to yourself in the third-person, this kinda undermines the point you've been trying to make. Clearly the mod t...
May 15, 2017 at 19:34
I'm pretty sure the majority of non-philosophical threads turn into comedy. Might be because so many of us are left-leaning and the left demonstrably ...
May 15, 2017 at 19:30
Uh, so that makes three immigrants on the staff. No wonder the right-wing posters are so against the mod team.
May 15, 2017 at 19:29
Saw your location was Elsinore, made a wrong assumption.
May 15, 2017 at 18:24
So 2 Aussies, 2 English, 1 American, 1 Welsh, 1 Danish (?) and... what nationality are you? I know you live in Spain, but you're not Spanish are you?
May 15, 2017 at 18:17
This is why we don't usually let right-wing Americans be moderators. All this fancy technology is too complicated for them.
May 15, 2017 at 18:15
Hanover ain't. Neither is StreetlightX, as far as I'm aware. Not sure about andrewk.
May 15, 2017 at 18:13
Around a month after, actually.
May 15, 2017 at 17:55
@"Hanover" is right-wing. Not sure about religious.
May 15, 2017 at 17:46
Even if this is true, it isn't good. He needs to think like a successful head of state/government, not a successful CEO. The United States isn't a bus...
May 15, 2017 at 13:19
True.
May 15, 2017 at 13:12
People just vote for a party.
May 13, 2017 at 14:16
Well, this is interesting. Trump had decided to fire Comey even before (and "regardless of") a recommendation from Rosenstein.
May 11, 2017 at 17:44
I don't think anyone (except the occasional conspiracy theorist) is suggesting that the Russians tampered with the actual ballots. It's that the Russi...
May 11, 2017 at 15:44
How does that work? If Mr Democrat is told by some White House insider that Trump has ulterior motives for firing Comey then the suggestion that Trump...
May 11, 2017 at 15:31
It's too early to say whether or not the suggested motive is a fabrication or genuine, and we're not mind-readers. There are supposedly sources within...
May 11, 2017 at 15:19
I'm not really sure how the first part of the sentence relates to the second. Are you suggesting that it's hypocritical to be critical of Trump firing...
May 11, 2017 at 15:06
Well, the assumption is that the Russian government and Trump's election campaign worked together to undermine Clinton's campaign and sway public opin...

Ours would only ever be a marriage of convenience;
May 10, 2017 at 20:13
Of course, my opinion in this situation is the correct one, and your concerns (in this hypothetical, you're my husband) are foolish. And that's a fact...
May 10, 2017 at 15:07
It's not a problem. You're just wrong. That's proven by the fact that I'm right and you disagree with me.
May 10, 2017 at 12:25
Not Scottie Nell Hughes. But aside from her, yes. Everybody thinks like that. The difference is that what they think are facts aren't facts but what I...
May 10, 2017 at 12:22
For me, I reckon it's an unwillingness to agree with falsehoods. I'm dogmatic in my acceptance of facts over fictions.
May 10, 2017 at 11:50
That's a joke, right?
May 10, 2017 at 08:04
No need to be redundant. What's with all the poetry here?
May 05, 2017 at 20:42
I can't believe that this is (more-or-less) true. Today I learned. I agree. On an unrelated note, isn't Hanover's lady's name Sally?
May 05, 2017 at 09:53
According to this, only 1 sport was invented in England in the early 17th century: Aunt Sally. I could see @"Hanover" liking Aunt Sally.
May 05, 2017 at 09:23
So the House passes a bill that the Senate has said they won't even consider. Was it all just pointless political theatre to give the illusion of scor...
May 05, 2017 at 08:45
Why, what's happening in November?
May 04, 2017 at 21:03
Nor without the Russians. (Now where's that mic-drop emoji?)
May 04, 2017 at 15:24
Yet 46.1% of you voted to build a wall to stop those damn Mexicans from stealing your babies.
May 04, 2017 at 15:11
Jesus. Someone prepare the undertaker.
