It bothers the living fuck out of me Tom Send a noteboard - 03/02/2012 10:59:01 PM
Every time I hear phrases like "preserving the sanctity of marriage" I gag inwardly.

I actually would love to see someone like Bloomberg form a moderate group that could bring together libertarian-minded Republicans and centrist Democrats and let the fringes marginalize themselves on the right and left.

Sadly, it's probably not likely to happen any time soon.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I think ... Nate - 03/02/2012 09:28:02 PM 845 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 1586 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 1762 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 1738 Views
Pretty sure hes saying liberals are pedophiles and I for one am not at all suprised! *NM* Urza - 04/02/2012 09:23:58 PM 1302 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 1563 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 1588 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 1606 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 1620 Views

Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 1480 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 1506 Views

Actually, I could be an enthusiastic Democrat on principle, if any elected Dems would join me. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:49:48 AM 1733 Views

Primary voting age is pretty high for both parties compared to general election, GOP a bit higher Isaac - 04/02/2012 12:22:44 PM 1601 Views
The two tend to go together, though it is far from a hard and fast rule. Joel - 04/02/2012 11:50:03 PM 1649 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1490 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 1552 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 931 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 671 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 420 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 736 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 825 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 849 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 927 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 969 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 667 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 932 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 653 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 764 Views
Yes. It is not very likely, though, since no measurement we have done so far indicates that it is so jh - 05/02/2012 02:28:18 PM 599 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 844 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 710 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 549 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 860 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 335 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 749 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 725 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 712 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 753 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 729 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 923 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 832 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 840 Views
this sort of "science" is so easily and often slanted it doesn't really merit arguement Ray - 04/02/2012 04:23:14 AM 800 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 740 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 571 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 850 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 855 Views
