:rofl:

Well, you're turning it around here. To illustrate with coins it would be something weird like: If R = heads then If 2R = heads then The correct one i...

I'm special. I'm a holistic complainer and complain about EVERYBODY. It's only fair.

US politics devolved into repetitive tu quoque well before this. Everybody on the left complains about the right and vice versa and then both complain...

That's how you proposed it originally. In the above you have an inherent contradiction in your conditionals as X and 2X are both 10. As a result and a...

Or, alternatively, we can take a cue from the European playbook and pursue a level of economic interdependence between Russia and Europe that it would...

Funny, I was just thinking how inserting an amount just confuses things. 10 GBP is as much a meaningless placeholder as Y or A to denote the value of ...

Would you agree that your expression allows the envelopes to carry values of either X, 2X or X/2? Fair enough. That earlier comment was a reply to the...

No, I don't think I would agree with that either. The total sum possible for both envelopes in the above assuming one envelope contains 10 GBP is eith...

Well, uhmm... no...? The first envelope has an amount that is either X or 2X, the other is either X or 2X. The other is not half or twice the amount o...

Ok. I'll have a stab at that (I have to admit I only read the first few pages here so might be repeating things). Ok, so we have a wrong approach: If ...

ah... I'd opt for the reductio ad absurdum. If there's no limit to switching, you'd have to switch indefinitely based on the other faulty interpretati...

I thought this was solved eons ago? The total amount of the envelopes is fixed; switching or keeping results in the same. The total amount is always 3...

The article you linked to concerns DNA testing children separated from parents due to Trump's Zero Tolerance. There's a court order to reunite them wi...

that made me laugh. :rofl: thanks!

your a bunch of fukkin spellin & grammar nazies

Führer Müller even.

Your opinion on the matter has never been the problem. Your inability to engage arguments and to produce evidence is. The fact you confuse people poin...

you're not coherent enough to make anyone here feel insecure. It's just boorish talking to someone who doesn't have the capacity for self reflection. ...

Waste of your time.

Please lecture me on the finer points of politics, oh infallible wise one.

You do like to play the victim too as evidenced by about half of your posts, of which this is just another example. Even those people are allowed mist...

Yes, because you don't make sense most of the time as your brain seems to go into paranoia-overdrive. And the complaint as if people aren't allowed to...

That's not what I said at all. I said indictments of persons related to an ongoing investigation can interfere with that investigation due to the poss...

I don't think anyone ever argued that being the case though, which would make your post uninteresting. Fortunately, there was something interesting th...

Life of the party. A countdown while drunk. Colour me impressed. :yawn:

and it rhymes with 'playa', which really describes you in a nutshell. :chin:

So what do you conclude from that?

You lost me at "thanks".

I'm so done with all the schwalbes in football. It just isn't funny anymore.

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

I mentioned it for completeness sake but it's not applied very regularly. The anticipatory interpretation takes into account laws that haven't yet bee...

Okami.

Your argument only becomes coherent if there's some way of establishing what the "best" interpretation is. Without that it's just another opinion. The...

As to interpretation. As far as I'm aware there's the following possibilities to interpret laws. 1. Grammatical interpretation 2. Law systematic inter...

Exactly. So there's an inference to be made from my comment.

Cats are property, so your right to holding them is protected like all other property.

Sure. And you're still better off there than in say Saudi-Arabia.

Takes out popcorn and watches the USA slowly corrode due to its toxic political climate.

Less in what sense? Less intelligent? If you think Trump has been less egregious than De Niro, I really don't think our standards are similar enough t...

While I agree that people should not be rejected as customers based on their political ideology, it's not clear that Sanders was refused for being a R...

If someone is deeply offended by "cotton picking" then that's a real harm, however much they might have material causes of misery. It's like saying to...

As to the first part, should we hold the President to the same standard as an actor? I think the answer is no. As a civil servant I'm held by a differ...

Unless it's a bad guy tied to a pole, I'm not interested in firing a gun at a static target. :razz:

Also, my incarceration quip deserved a chuckle! :rage:

I wanted to reply as well but simply couldn't figure out where to start.

What areas affecting living conditions do you think the USA is better than the Netherlands? The only reason for me to visit the USA would be culture a...

I beg to differ that being outraged at a perceived racist comment is a trivial thing in the current political climate in the USA. Even if it were triv...

It seems pretty outrageous to me. I don't think the comparison with "smart ass white men" works. White men don't have a history of slavery, discrimina...
