I try to at least drop by every month or two, so you'll know I'm still alive...
Couldn't disagree more.
Except that he's not very good at waging aggressive war...
Hi. I really don't have time for Wordforge these days (unfortunately...) but I thought I'd make a quick stop just to say I hope you all have a great...
And he will thoroughly deserve it, IMO. (As I'm sure you agree.)
So was "losing his rifle". In fact, it was the same joke: the army would care more about its own details than the crime committed. You ought to be...
I have no doubt whatsoever that if the US steps back, China and Russia will step up. And as Lanz (correctly) points out regularly, the results will...
Ok, I know @oldfella1962 is around now, because I saw him posting. I'd still love to hear an explantion on this. Since you always assure us you...
You aren't very good with this "twist someone's words into something he didn't say so you can denounce that strawman" business. Perhaps you should...
Don't worry, he wouldn't last long here. He absolutely has to have everyone adoring him and telling him he's right. Can you imagine him in the Red...
I'm about as calm as you can get. Why do you always project agitation on other people? I'm not the one insulting people because they don't know...
Ah, so you're a "sins of the fathers" man. She's guilty because her father was scum. Got it. :techman:
Do you really think that with the access lanes twisting around the way they do in that picture, "navigating by the stars" or "the general direction...
Accent on "should", but in reality the whole trick is in knowing "when necessary" if the specific direction you want is not one of the choices they...
And neither one would get you in there. (The purple one has you heading up the expressway toward Lyon, with no exit for about three miles.) But you...
And what if where you want to go isn't on one of those signs? In the photo I posted, I often want to go to the shopping center in the upper left,...
My guess is that losing his rifle would be even worse than driving a bus without proper training. Had a buddy who did that (didn't have his locker...
If he wants to be on social media, he should come post at Wordforge. That would be extremely amusing.
I have driven enough in the US over the years (tens of thousands of miles, in at least 30 different states) to know that is not true. There are...
Only once you've analyzed it from an aerial view. Until I did that, I never had a real good idea where I was going. When you're zipping around one of...
Believe me, it's even worse from ground level than in an aerial view...
No. Saying "Everyone should do what the government tells them" (a statist position) is not at all the same thing as saying "no one should be able to...
Ok, we're on the same page then. Not so sure here, though. @Ancalagon and @Nova would have to weigh in to confirm that you are not distorting their...
Why is this still waiting for an answer? Is @oldfella1962 too busy for Wordforge these days? (I can hardly criticize him if he is; I was gone for...
Please explain. Because that is not even close to self-evident. And while you're at it, please define "statist", so we're on the same page and not...
And what is ironic about that?
Got my first injection of Pfizer the day before yesterday (during the time I was too busy for Wordforge). A very slightly sore arm for a day and a...
There is no problem whatsoever with anyone wanting and doing that for himself. The problem is when you unilaterally decree that it can and should...
I'm not seeing any downside here...
And do you see anything that is scientifically or logically implausable with that explanation, within the framework of belief in a God who created...
Even though this is the same post of yours, I thought it best to look at it separately, as it's a very different issue. If the story of Cain and...
Let's talk about this, since it is a common point raised by people. 1) It is standard evolutionary theory that one single cell (that came about...
Interesting what you can do with statistics. Of all the countries in the world, the US has the third largest population (far behing India and China,...
The immigrants that the political right wants to push away? Those immigrants? In the case of this particular immigrant, however, I came to Europe...
I'm a big believer in roundabouts. They are much handier and safer than traffic lights for quite a few intersections. Nevertheless, it is possible to...
You already asked me that once, and I answered it. But just because it's you, I will answer it again. The fundamental economic principle of (true)...
That is what is assumed. All that is actually known is that all human beings have a common female ancestor. The difference between "assumed" and...
Another major though unfortunately common fallacy. I am amazed by the number of people who like to criticize the Bible and then immediately show they...
And yet it's hard to get around that, whether you believe the Bible or not, when you know that mitochondrian DNA shows that the entire human race is...
That contains a major fallacy, which is usually stated as: absence of affirmation is not affirmation of absence. IOW, it is not because something is...
Separate names with a comma.
