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 1343 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 2084 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 2266 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 2353 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 1563 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 2051 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 2088 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 2098 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 2098 Views
It bothers the living fuck out of me Tom - 03/02/2012 10:59:01 PM 2079 Views
Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 2038 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 2070 Views
Re: Oh, I still vote Republican. Isaac - 04/02/2012 01:15:10 PM 2128 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 2251 Views
Re: Just wait ten years Praziquantel - 04/02/2012 05:16:16 AM 1991 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 2092 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 2148 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1970 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 2047 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1457 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 1138 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 655 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 1190 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 1311 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 1336 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1435 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1467 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 1166 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1444 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 1138 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 1254 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 1109 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 1340 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 1215 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 1066 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 1420 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 621 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 1248 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 1290 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 1206 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 1299 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 1209 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1504 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 1348 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 1329 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 1277 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 1239 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 1114 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 1099 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 1369 Views
