that is all.

Isn't that where Rick Perry used to game?

Why does God have to be omnibenevolent or even good at all? Why can't God just be a massive dick? In the OT, he is a massive dick. He's just a bigger dick to non-Israelites and sometimes, helps them out with genocides. On occasion, he may help you find a goat. But don't get to used to that. Honestl...

The problem with the Budalas argument is that if you make it more coherent it just comes off as condescending and insulting. Also: no less wrong, just easier to parse. I don't disagree with you at all. I try to be generous and assume that bad arguments MIGHT have good intentions, and it seemed that...

After Frank's first reply to Budalas, I was going to try and rework Budalas' argument into a more coherent one. But now, I think I'll just get the popcorn out and watch.

A friend recommended A People's History of Science: Miners, Midwives, and Low Mechanicks but I couldn't get past the first 100 pages or so. I'm not adverse to a different perspective on history or acknowledgement of the 'unnamed' contributions to history but this guy seemed to have a huge axe to gri...

My biggest problem with the first edition was that the game board space was huge, especially with the expansions. What's the footprint of the 2nd edition? My second biggest problem may have been specific to my group of friends but the game ended up being a lot of backstabbing and yelling, and theref...

Secondly, I want to direct you to a spiel by Monte Cook about how such design was actually something they wanted . So while I agree with the final argument, I don't think it was as accidental as you make it sound. Wow, that blog is almost offensive. Its an abdication of any responsibility to provid...

But that has never stopped the liberal utopians from crying “it’s not medically needed” when abortion clinics clearly think it is or that it is “rape” when abortion clinics clearly do it all the time. The real question is giving that information to the patient. ok I'll ignore the snarky attitude of...

"From a health perspective, these ultrasounds are critical. " Think about that sentence really carefully. Ultrasounds are being performed for HEALTH REASONS. The new law has no health justification. Do you see the difference between them? Its kinda like the difference between having sex wi...
