Here's another : La violence est l’utilisation de force ou de pouvoir, physique ou psychique, pour contraindre, dominer, tuer, détruire ou endommager....

The fuck does that have to do with anything? If a black person ask of you not to call him 'a black man' because he finds that to be insulting, does re...

The First Law of Biology: all living organisms obey the laws of thermodynamics. A corollary of the First Law is that life requires the temporary creat...

No, what is silly is using poetry and heavy mysticism and pass it as rational discourse. 'Creativity', 'imagination', 'patterns', 'Bergson'. There you...

You have to understand the degree of danger. In the U.S, a trans person is 14 times more likely to be murdered than a non-trans person. There have bee...

Alert! Alert! The Bots invade! the Bots invade! Everyone to their Action Station!

Why wouldn't ZFC count?

I'm sorry. I tried, but this sort of half-assed mysticism gives me nausea. :s

(Y) The best roomates ever. My roomie has bookshelves filled with well over 150 games. And he's a really swell fellow.

That would describe a map. Google Maps is much more than that.

But by your account, it's also a mind. It observes our searches, memorizes them better than we could ever, and optimizes its behaviour accordingly. Su...

By that account Google Maps is a mind. Jesus, what bloody bullshit...

Then that's all here : https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-part-6a-the-points-based-system From what I can decipher, UK im...

That to a certain electorate, it doesn't matter how bad the person is or does, as long as he is definitly not Obama, or like Obama. I don't think this...

That depends entirely on the Democrat candidate, really. Everyone who voted against him knew how bad Trump would turn out to be. Everyone who voted fo...

A hazy concept either wrongfully co-opted from a "common psychology" in current philosophy, or condoned by by a refusal to move to the newer paradigm ...

Not if we aren't predisposed to it. Ever since I turned 18, the question 'what do I want' has been followed by 'why do I want what I want'. Not to pat...

Fun fact : Because of the clause "arrived via the Canada-United States border." which makes you unable to claim refugee status from the Canada-United ...

You realize that there is a legal framework for refugee acceptance, right? "The IRB decides who is a Convention refugee or a person in need of protect...

Is it not enough that it is a perfect proof of the fact, fact that has been screamed across all media platforms imaginable, possible and in existence ...

That was, quite clearly, the joke.

As far as I know, she did make a complaint. And her boss too. I figured that since it's a cleaning service footed by the building in which we rent our...

I've been very clear in my use of conditionals. "Tend". "Generally". "Most of the time". It does however change that you can't claim that I disrespect...

This is tangentially off-topic, but then again it isn't. Remember worker A's story? The one who assaulted the cleaning lady in the bus? Just learned s...

I've been saying (all along >:o ) that, in general, statements like "women like assertive men who act and do not talk" are meaningless by ways of bein...

Again, just to be clear, the lack of respect comes from my claiming that women, in the same way as men, tend not to value weakness in partners. This i...

This is the type of behaviour and aggressivity that is tolerated in a Mod here?

My point isn't to use pick-up lines. I have never seen them work, and wouldn't really want a girl on who they would work. My point is to place the bla...

By your own standard, this very statement is a hasty generalisation. Still, I guess you won't be willing to see my point, so I'll leave you to your in...

You need to come to Montreal. :D

Hadn't seen your answer yet, and I wasn't replying to you anyhow... so... Care to dial down the aggressivity? :s In any case, do you really find so in...

Given this unsollicitated answer, I assume I could ask you the same.

Women generally don't want weak partners. They aren't really different from men in that regard, a lot of us would also very much dislike overly meek p...

Quick lad! (Y)

It's even more nonsense because it is predicated on the belief that the Dutch are not a completely forgettable people.

Calling Africa a country and lumping together the entirety of the continent as "a shithole" is what I would take to be a proof positive of racism and ...

Well, that's how you are perceiving our interaction. You say women expect men to do the first move, and that they also expect this first move to be ph...

I have a French accent. I could ask someone to pluck a chicken and it would still be more naturally romantic than all the artifice you can summon.

This is chuckle-worthy. You only display your own inadequacies. This is how things have not worked for you in the past. It has pretty much only ever w...

This is more than a little akward. You don't have to read minds. You can always talk to your prospective sexual partner. If you aren't a creep out to ...

"Not to slut shame, but let's slut shame the fuck out of her anyway". An obnoxious joke can be a sexual assault. "The court knows no humour".

Man, reading this just made me barf a little. After a few seconds, I started reading it with the Shamwow guy voice.

Franken was photographed grabbing a sleeping soldier's boobs too. #metoo is about denouncing sexual misconduct. By design that spectrum is very large....

Well, admittedly, there is a sheepish dynamic of some sort at play here, it's just hard to pin down which one is the sheep and which one is the herdin...

I swear I've seen something like this at my last weekly visit to Paragraph. I'll check it out again on Saturday and come back to you with a title. :-*

(Y) Luke Skywalker > Jesus Christ.

The only thing I remember from Alf was the big spider Monster that comes to hunt him at some point. Childhood seriously compromised.

*Urge to scratch Hanover behind the ears steadily rising.

Do... do you have eyebrows? :-|
