Now thats offensive. Compared to Gilford and Manassian Im basically Brad Pitt. Ok, perhaps Robert Downey Jr.
May 25, 2018 at 08:25
Huh. Well, in that case, cry me a river. Had I offended you because of some unknown issue, I would have felt bad. But not to your sensibilities for sc...

Well, ask yourself, which incel is ever going to vote for Clinton? I mean, even if Trump came out and directly spoke against incels, he would still be...

Setting up his next book's sales. Or trying to get another big debate/interview set up, this time with Margaret Atwood?

I hope you aren't a pharmacist.
May 25, 2018 at 00:19
This may be related. If JP is becoming a spokesperson for the Incel community, then we should not be surprised that these idiots are becoming more com...

Funnily, the history of "Folie a deux" is quite interesting, and relates also to the incel problem. The term was coined by parisian newspapers and psy...

There is still an issue with the disgusting saturation of media forms with the celebration of a distinctly unjust power structure.

In the sense that an obstacle, once removed, makes the road seems so much easier.

Being Marx. Being Marx is the best mark of being a great intellectual. :nerd:
May 17, 2018 at 22:43
This is it. I'm not so sure this works as a conundrum, since it is literally impossible to answer correctly, but not based on the problem itself, but ...

You are clearly very proficient at finding reasons not to engage others.
May 17, 2018 at 01:19
And yet more content-devoid posts.

Then what are your intentions, except perhaps presenting yourself as a "lover of truth" ?
May 13, 2018 at 21:04
So you admonish and pontificate, but you can't tell us who these "bad philosophers" are? Seems like you really want us to think you are quite the slay...
