To be clear, I never called you and a hole. I just said your post was more insulting than funny. This is something that happens sometimes when...
You know, Lawyer, I certainly don’t proclaim to be an authority on morality, but if someone caught an unflattering picture of your wife and then...
Maybe im getting old, bluke. I do think humor shouldn’t be based on political ideology (though what is funny seemingly must be judged against some...
If it’s any consolation, I saw your post, and I think the mods are doing you a real solid on this one.
The classics are classics for a reason, Emmitto.
I still don’t think that I have yet understood a true alternative to voting. If we don’t trust popular sentiment, what is our alternative,...

This was Plato’s position on the matter, but I found Karl Popper’s argument against this “law” to be compelling. I think we’ve learned a thing or...

I watched Decision to Leave a couple months ago and really liked it. It’s a detective story on its face, but it packs a serious emotional punch....
It’s an interesting field of study. I believe it was the founding of public choice theory in the 1960s that first explicitly differentiated...
Yes, I see. That’s right.
I haven’t yet seen Oppenheimer or know if I’m think about range specifically, but I thought Blunt was excellent in Sicario. This is why it’s such...
