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 1052 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 1785 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 1980 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 1979 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 1402 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 1753 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 1804 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 1810 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 1830 Views

Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 1717 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 1702 Views
Re: Oh, I still vote Republican. Isaac - 04/02/2012 01:15:10 PM 1808 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 1940 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 1790 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 1854 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1682 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 1763 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1142 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 867 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 521 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 925 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 1026 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 1055 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1148 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1180 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 864 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1148 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 864 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 970 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 827 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 1058 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 927 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 756 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 1079 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 438 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 971 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 985 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 924 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 1006 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 928 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1195 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 1057 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 1035 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 996 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 930 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 787 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 946 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 1058 Views
