Once you put the article's false assumptions aside (such as that silence is a reward or that we don't control the environment - which insofar as it matters on a forum, we do), it actually agrees with me. It's the basic psychology you use with dogs: bad attention is still more desirable than no...

Herpes isn't quite the right analogy; he's the sore on the inside of our collective lip. If we'd just stop tonguing the damn thing all the time... Hell. Even while he was away there were threads just for him. Sweet, delicious troll cake. If he's ignored, he'll go away. Even better, if he's...

True story. As I mention here, every time you respond to him - no matter how much you 'own' him - he wins. You're just feeding him delicious, delicious troll food. Every time.

Did you just call ozone a hoax?

A comment-section on a politically-hot story is a slanted demographic. What you're saying leads to the statement that most anti-*** fanatics are liberals, not the reverse. That's all I mean. Carry on!

I find ignorant bigotry inherently disrespectful, so I'm not sure how 'politely' I disagree with it.

You're drawing from a rather slanted demographic to make that statement.

:hatsoff: to Sims. Certainly unbeknownst to him, Will still serves as a compelling argument for abortion.

The last century is calling you, georges. It's telling you to move the fuck on. Do you understand that as your generation dies off, your thinking will too? I mean, do you fundamentally understand that? Not all at once, of course, as ******** are naturally influenced by their folks. But the...

:clap:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_to_Win We've been down this before though, I think...in any case, I'm in complete agreement with regards to the bombers.

I think the "Ignorance is Bliss" statement should be revised. Because the ignorant here do not appear to be blissful, but terrified and angry.

I dated a gal who has a Freeones thread* dedicated to her. Does that count? (Read: thread, not page!)

I think the 'close enough' bit was my favorite.

Will you accept bottle to the head? I know these are old, but they still bring me joy.

He's probably just got the usual angry, partisan rancor. I keep suggesting he get himself a massage or something to lighten up, and he hurls homophobic slurs at me in return. It's a love-**** relationship. :o I can't say I know much about Warren and I totally missed all the noise about her...

Uh...huh?

I can't remember where, but I was reading/watching/playing some sci-fi story with the standard dystopian future world, only the twist was that China was the last 'free' bastion left because corporations owned the rest of the world and virtually everybody else was slave labor. The picture is a...

Since I moved here, I've discovered everybody is actually called Tobias. All of my German friends are called Tobias. Even the girls.

...and by 'France', I mean one French scientist, and by 'says', I mean 'has preliminary results to that effect'. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/12/us-france-bras-idUSBRE93B0Y020130412 :bounce:

I've been wondering when they'll figure out the prize for winning this fight is the top of Moron Mountain. Philbert has the incumbency, and if I were you xfire, I'd leave him to it.

Foobar. Its system resource use is damn near 0, and it's one of the most customizable pieces of software I've ever played with (though this also means it requires a little playing around with to setup at the start).

I've been told repetition is the key to memorization. And so... Yes. 1000x, yes. An educated voting population doesn't need term limits. ...which means, sadly, we need term limits. :(

It is often said that guns are not the problem - people are. The argument behind it, while technically true, is intellectually disingenuous. I disagree with both premises, in any case - guns aren't the biggest problem. *** culture is. Why, indeed, would one feel the need to show off their...

Ha ha...not so much here! Perhaps 'highlights' was the wrong word to use; I was more just looking for debatable excerpts that people would already be for or against, and therefore discuss. Once again I am no economist, so I could probably have chosen better.

I've worked for a few years with autistic ********/teenagers (though admittedly only ********/teenagers) and I wouldn't say Will's behavior is indicative of autism. I still vote for some sort of sociopathy or schizophrenia (not of the multiple-personality variety, which nowadays goes by its own...

Re: All OCSMs need to read this.... You know what I like about this? This is a discussion between reasonable adults. Kudos to the both of you. Alas, if only everybody were capable... To be fair, I was 'dissing' georges. But Philbert, you confused my reason why. I'm not 'dissing'...

Are you lying when you say something like this,

Aha, I understand now. Well, I don't generally disagree with you here. Though I don't know of anybody that does propose the morning-after pill (which as you've probably often heard said of, is not an abortion pill as it stops the fertilization altogether...seems a point of semantics, but I guess...

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here (sentence-wise). Might be different from state to state, but I was buying them at 15 on.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/05/us-usa-contraception-ruling-idUSBRE9340ES20130405 As per usual, one can either be entertained or deeply depressed by a short look through the comments, where people show how staggeringly, mind-blowingly stupid they can be (as with any article on a...

That's a damn torturous thing to say, considering Amsterdam's only a few hours away from me...! I haven't had pumpkin pie since...2008. A little piece of me has died every November since.

Re: All OCSMs need to read this.... Predictably, I give the benefit of the doubt and you prove me right. I'll spell out the irony of your post for you, because I know you don't see it: in the short time since you've returned, you've been more often wrong than not, and you have no integrity to...

I'd like to double-down on what xfire said and note that people who use 'Otrama' or any of the other cleverness-of-a-10-year-old insults to our president's name comes off a partisan moron.

But the milk softens them up!

:hatsoff: I was in easily the best shape of my life when I lived with an ex with whom I had sex 1-2 times a day. Fantastic shape. And I ate whatever I damn well pleased (though it helps that I don't have much of a sweet tooth). Which is not to say I necessarily recommend it as the only...

This, is the way forward. While diet is, granted, one part of the equation, it's a simple matter of physics that you can always offset it with enough on the other part of the equation: Mass = energy in - energy out. The beauty about this is that no matter how bad one's genes are or poor one's...

This depends on the state. In Oregon, minimum wage is minimum wage - I'm told it's one of the best states to be a server in, because you'll make minimum wage while the tipping culture is still the American tipping culture. I think I heard California is the same, but maybe that was...

We may have ****** him, but so long as his legacy in our policy remains, he kind of won.

This is actually a thing, with a name (that I've totally forgotten). I read an article on it a number of years ago, basically stating what you are: that the closer and closer our mimicking of people gets, the creepier it gets (whereas, say, cartoons aren't nearly as creepy - because they don't...

Covered.

Got another one: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-mark-kirk-supports-gay-marriage,0,4041838.story Mark Kirk (R - Ohio). And according to this article, that brings us to 50 senators that support same-sex marriage. Getting there!

Here's a bit of a lengthy article I came across today by President Reagan's budget director called "State-Wrecked: The Corruption of Capitalism in America". I have to admit that economics to this depth is beyond me, so I'm curious what you guys think. Some highlights: (he's got plenty to say...

I would wager the latter - that the Indians' destruction wasn't really planned or intentional. The settlers just wanted what they wanted, and the Indians' destruction just happened to have had to happen (that's a wordful) for them to get it. I have to pretty much agree with Mayhem here...

And when they see fit to build new bathrooms...?

I think I remember that. And yeah, you weren't doing anything the rest of us weren't (that is, calling dumb rednecks dumb rednecks). Seeing as we're not ******...all's fair, no? And Mayhem, you ?! ...but there's nothing there!

Ah, surely there were a few more from kindergarten. This board could use a little more of this anyway: All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

This would be an opportunity for Will to come in saying Google should leave America and minutes later post something about how the Government should keep its hands off business...but I digress. I just got done telling a number of my European friends that where I'm from Easter is surprisingly...

I haven't seen Mr Philbert around in some time...but this is about on par with what I remember. :rolleyes: Good points throughout, HHJJ.

I wouldn't say I '****' it, but... Exactly, exactly, exactly...which is why I don't understand why we don't simply leave the clocks forward so we get more afternoon daylight, especially in the winter. On top of these studies, there's another that shows **** are healthier with more hours of...
