what? You want him reelected? If he survives impeachment procedures it means in the eye of the public that he didn't do it.

And that, in the end, is what makes him a terrible leader. Instead of fixing mistakes, they're compounded or covered up. If that's the culture you're ...

The withdrawal is unorganized in case of a no deal Brexit, that's doesn't mean people cannot plan to mitigate the consequences of that fall out. Your ...

Having to stockpile foodstuffs, medicine and manufacturing components is to mitigate the consequences of an unorganised withdrawal, it doesn't make th...

yes, that's called contingency planning. We've got plans for when natural disasters happen as well. That's not a reason to invite them to happen. Try ...

You're talking out of your ass. The deal aspect hasn't been slapped on willy nilly, it was never the intention of the UK government to leave in an uno...

You don't see it because you haven't thought it through. The content of May's deal wasn't the problem. It was her trying to ram it through parliament ...

The direct trading effect for the Netherlands is estimated at a loss of about 10 billion euros. This will be somewhat mitigated because UK companies w...

The best alternative to no agreement is throwing the UK a bone. Any deal is better than no deal, so "no deal" isn't and never has been a bargaining ch...

Yeah, totally irrelevant because Brexit is totally going to empower tenants and the working class because no Brit will ever have to adhere to those pe...

let's hope they do realise and aren't fond of gambling.

I saw the video but this isn't a necessary conclusion from what he said. As a whole, it could be interpreted as explaining why BoJo opted for such an ...

I'm not conflating it either just pointing out that your expectation is hardly as natural as you believe it is and if politics aren't a sign of the ti...

Thank god the Irish and Brits can think of a fitting pun.

That's just hilarious in light of the political actions in the UK and the USA. What are you? A fossil?

you're wasting your time mate. He has not once replied to any question and assumes bad faith towards everyone. He doesn't care what you say and preten...

I thought the British political establishment was a bit more serious about respecting its own institutions. I thought wrong. So we have an advisory re...

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll.

The trade deficit is almost irrelevant in comparison to capital flows. You can have a perpetual trade deficit as long as it's funded by foreign direct...

Fuck. Why is everyone engaging the troll?

That's a lot of alphabet pasta.

Trump is a retard. People who defend him either have an agenda and see him as a tool to further their own agenda or they are retards themselves. That ...

I never said I did. I was much less talking about individualism as a social theory, which the term collectivism points to, than a personal idea of ide...

Is it? My identity is defined by my relation to the world. That includes other people. There's family, neighbourhood, city, state, the world. I "borro...

Plus, it's an attempt at poisoning the well that says nothing about whether his positions are right or not.

How many people said that about Trump?

Everything you've described can be bought with money. So what you've described is that you need money not freedom. It appears to me that you aren't ye...

but everything you mentioned could be obtained with money. So you're not concerned about freedom but about money. Or what am I missing?

So you don't want freedom but money?

What is freedom according to you?

Since when does commanding men have anything to do with realising how the world works? They came up with a constitution designed to protect certain in...

The bloody history of the USA doesn't stretch voor millenia I'm afraid. It seems, in any case, a silly way of reconciling differences. While you think...

They were priviliged white men with no clue as to how the world worked, hence, their constitution doesn't work either because they have no understandi...

1. Don't vote for abusive, authoritarian people that want to oppress you and you won't have to defend against the government. Basically, you don't tru...

And you believe the American people care about the truth because...?

Another twat who gets his own thread.

In the US, political affiliation is too closely linked to identity for people to be ready to consider policies of the other party. Then there is the i...

The assumption of considering people rational continues to astound me. Why do you believe this? Because you believe you're rational and therefore othe...

US presidential elections are not about policies. US politics will cater to the rich no matter who holds the office. It's a matter of degree how much ...

Cool, thanks.

So rape is fine as long as it's not with minors? Or grabbing them by the pussy doesn't count as such?

Is this a real problem though? I'm from the "common sense" approach that what's conscious is what people decide it is and it's neither here nor there ...

Second time I read the term "superhuman". The fact something is done at a superhuman level is now posited as an argument against something being consc...

Thanks. Unfortunately, or maybe I'm just stupid, I can't find an option to find the whole show from this morning. Am I not looking closely enough or i...

accessible via the net? I'm quite interested in hearing how that talk show is unfolding.

I want half Eddy, half!

Brexit means Brexit. It is probably the weird assumption that the democratic voice of the people has spoken in the referendum, which was so narrowly i...

It says "Plato was right".

There's no consensus because you're simply wrong.

You think this is a negotiation? Then we're definitely not settling on 50-50 when you've already admitted treatment is woefully inadequate. The questi...
