It was an amusing find on your part! :hatsoff:

Ha ha...most of these really ring true. Especially these two: (Although to be fair, in my experience having lived there, the vast majority of people from the British isles are indeed alcoholic...though to be even fairer, the vast majority of said people that I met were English, not Irish. But...

My harddrive is going to weep under the strain if these promotions keep up...

Ad hominem! You're on a roll. Well, nevermind. But, I shall clarify, lest another get hung up on two lines and selectively ignore the rest of the post: I do not mean to say that having an abortion is the same as these examples (and re-reading it, I realize that's what it looks like I'm saying...

I see nothing but an emotional response, and that simply isn't useful. Is that it?

This is the predominant question I've wondered about for a while. Good to know. You know, PR, I used to quite enjoy your posts and was happy to have another intelligent conservative voice on the board but lately, especially with **** like this (I'm really surprised you'd participate in such a...

The problem is - and this is the kicker - is that they're poisoning us as well. http://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2010/12/01/california-pollution-made-in-china/ http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57341838/pollution-from-china-alters-weather-in-u.s-west/ I would love to see a response along...

I think a time frame is ultimately where this debate will - and should - go. 'Life begins at conception' isn't pragmatic or reasonable. An abortion at eight months is inhumane and, in my opinion, irresponsible (emergencies naturally notwithstanding) - though I stand resolutely by my position...

There are few better examples of 'get yours now and screw later' in an economic/environmental way than Styrofoam. Good riddance.

I'm on this like white on rice. Aletta's one of my favorites.

I just wish they'd pick a different day. Maybe they'd have more business if they weren't closed now for both days the typical work-week-worker has time...ah, but I jest, mostly (really I'm just angry that post offices, banks, and the like here in Germany are not only closed on the weekends, but...

Just wanted to offer up a status update on how they're doing with this: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/rove-vs-tea-party-for-gops-future-87296.html http://www.politico.com/story/2013/02/donald-trump-karl-rove-is-a-total-loser-87331.html

I'd rep you for either of these posts: http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?674267-It-s-****-like-this-that-causes-me-to-despise-and-loath-Liberals&p=7358172&viewfull=1#post7358172 http://board.freeones.com/showthread.php?674236-quot-Only-In-America-quot&p=7358188&viewfull=1#post7358188 But...

Whew, nelly. Let's start with this: Only an uneducated moron would say this. I will grant you the first point, however, that 'educated' does not necessarily mean 'smart'. There are plenty of educated dumb people. There are plenty of uneducated smart people. They are outliers, on the whole...

Touche. :hatsoff:

Obama did win the election, and it was mainly thanks to the majority of Americans that voted for him. What's your point*? * And can it be made without the words: ghetto, gangbangers, or 'lazy'?

It may very well be. Hell, the woman may or may not be a terrible person. It's still her body. For a good chunk of time a fertilized egg is no more separate from a woman's body than her kidneys (I believe at some point the debate will largely center around exactly what time that is, but I don't...

A woman can do certain work until late in the pregnancy. Get used to it. It's called progress. I didn't say anything about a man's responsibility ending there. Good for you (no really, no sarcasm there. You're taking responsibility, and I respect that). That is in fact not by my way of...

No. Why should I have slave-master-like control over her for nine months? Why should I be able to make her unable to work or ***** or a whole assortment of active activities for several of those months? The answer is: I shouldn't. The man makes his decision before and during the act. The woman...

That isn't exactly the whole story, but it's in the right direction.

Re: Ugly pornstars you just can't stop watching? A classmate of mine doing a report on the porn business told us that this was actually quite intentional, to avoid men having any accidental 'gay' feelings toward the male actors. Whether this is still a thing today, I don't know.

It's a good question, one I'm aptly attentive to considering my life currently revolves around that exchange rate (and the pound, as well...how the hell I got myself into dealing with three currencies, I do not know, but it's a pain). While I am of the opinion that certain European countries are...

Or you could read the article and see that the evidence it presents does not support its thesis. Protip: if your source is plastered with 'anti-liberal media' ads, it's full of ****. Which is not to say the liberal media isn't also full of ****. That said, I don't know enough about Obamacare to...

I don't know if it extends beyond the entry threshold, but this is why I like the German benchmark for what classifies as a proper ***, as opposed to a toy that shoots: 7.5 Joules. That is, if it shoots a projectile that has over 7.5 Joules of energy, you've left toyland. Extend Joules to Watts...

There was a study in 2008 that ranked the world's most promiscuous countries. This is not the same as culture of sexuality, mind (the prime example of which I'll get to shortly which also coincidentally happens to be at the top of this list), but is undoubtedly related. Here's an article on that...

So you are embracing your inherent bias and settling to see things narrowly. At least you're honest about it. Unfortunately, there's nothing to debate with folks who take up their personal feelings over evidence, so this'll be where I take my leave of this conversation. Because that would be...

For the hat trick: :hatsoff: Thank ya kindly. Always nice to see pink in our kindergarten playground called 'Politics'.

I thought I already mentioned this anecdotal stuff... Got some figures to back up that certainty, or are you just regurgitating what some agenda's feeding you? So you're basically riled up over something you don't actually have information for. That seems silly. Back that up with some numbers...

...I'm going to try a different approach with you this time. MP, let me start off by saying that I will readily accept that these people who seem to occupy your thoughts more than is healthy exist. I am not denying that. So let's move on to really the more pertinent questions... Seeing as these...

Don't worry, it gets worse - there's the actual Conservative Party that pressures the Republican party like here in New York: http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Conservatives-up-heat-on-GOP-4227702.php And: :rolleyes:

If I'm not mistaken, ********* (as well as overall) obesity's been steadily rising for some time now, so I don't think there's much hope for that either.

I highly recommend reading this. This part is of particular importance to us argumentative-types here: Which is to say, you can go back and forth all you like with one weak example or another, but the bottom line is that there isn't conclusive data to solidly support one side or the other...

I won't follow this tangent in this thread beyond this post (though at least it's about something other than guns), but I'm keen to see examples where 5-8-year-olds are being taught about STDs or the otherwise more 'explicit' areas of sex ed (considering at the most elementary level, even...

...why would learning about a normal, natural part of life (one of our largest biological drives to boot) be harmful?

They say ignorance is bliss, but I don't know; the levels of ignorance I see here suggest more of the fearful paranoia type, the sort that will cut one's life short just from stress. But maybe I'm wrong you guys and Sam are among the most blissful people on the planet. It's the standard MO.

Edit: double post

Tried SMPlayer, which was better than VLC, but still too choppy to fap to. It's as updated as I know how, now. No problem with that .wmp - or, again, any other mp4 on my computer. Just this one!

VLC usually does too...certainly doesn't normally have problems with mp4s. Pfft. Windows 8...nah, I'm still using XP. I'm not sure how up to date my WMP is because I never use it; for what it's worth, I tried this video. WMP* just says it doesn't have the codec and VLC gives me sound and...

An often repeated story, sadly. And many that don't. You're right, of course, to say that it can be done without money. That doesn't change the fact that this is mostly an issue concerning money... That's pretty much all there is to it. The reason there's derision when someone tries to bring...

I just 'bought' a video, but it doesn't work; WMP refuses to play it outright and VLC, to its credit, tries its damnedest to no avail. I have to join in with the curiosity of how this helps support them. I've got enough free points to buy a few videos. Do those free points somehow equate to...

All right. This is an excellent reply and I thank you for it. I don't take issue with any particular point - I in fact agree with the sentiment. Many of our politicians are next to worthless, and many are even harmful. I suppose my issue with this is the root cause - we elect them. If we're...

I don't mean any disrespect, but this line of thinking - which you've stated many times in many threads - is in my opinion paranoia, and part of the heel-digging problem that causes the conversation at the national level to go nowhere. In short, I think it's part of the problem. It's not that I...

Perhaps I should ask should the government: at what point is it private responsibility, and what point public/government?* I agree in any case that if it is falling more/mostly to the government, it probably is cheaper to buy the places instead of paying to have them rebuilt all the time. * I...

Heh. Allow me to forward you to my Short Guide to the Internet Troll... Yes. But you accurately describe the unfortunate difference between theory and reality: I can't deny the evidence!

I agree with the first part - if nature strikes once, yeah, all right. Twice? Hmm. Annually...? Time to build somewhere else. To the second part...can the government afford to do that?

:turnturn: ...it's not happening, is it?

I have a distinctly Scandinavian last name. Does that count?
