I'll be very happy to find out whether you actually mean it; since I must regrettably observe at this juncture that you've repeatedly pulled back in discussions, claiming to just be a nice fellow who wants to talk politely... and then a few days later, it's back to the previous tactics of...

But that's not even where Johnson ripped it off from... shot for shot...

As everybody knows, you (R) aren't allowed to have friends when you're in a position of responsibility because that's nepotism. You (R) must be a self-flagellating hermit, and then they'll still call you (R) a nazi bigot. But maybe they'll say some moderately nice things about you at your...

You're not trying to have a conversation. You're bent on repeating unsubstantiated claims again and again, while accusing all others -- regardless of what they believe -- of being a "cultist". You consistently make bad faith assumptions about what others believe; if anyone disagrees with you on...

"The name's Who. Literal Who."

"Minorca! Home away from home! It's like Spain-- without Spaniards!" EDIT: There is the possibility that this significant additional foothold in the Med wil ultimately prompt Britain to be more committed to maintaining its position there. In effect meaning that Malta, Cyprus and the Suez and...

The answer is obvious!

Well, frankly, if you told me that those Hamas types had crawled up from the very pit of hell, I'd consider it at least a plausible origin story for their kind...

That truly surprises me! In what I see from the USA, no masks are ever glimpsed. Perhaps it depends on where you are. But really, continued masking in America is very surprising to me-- here in the Netherlands (generally cursed with a far more docile populace), masks have become vanishingly...

Fact checkers be like: "That whistleblower with info on the Clintons hasn't been murdered. He's only been shot in the back seventeen times! Typical right-wing propaganda to jump to conclusions like that. We rate this allegation FALSE."

Anyway, on a serious note -- and my apologies for the double post; I only considered the possibility of a serious note after the fact -- this whole idea of an elected representative being sent away by anone other than his constituents is just so fucking weird. I get that this Santos guy is...

This whole exchange:

I wouldn't exactly mind dropping a space colony cylinder on a WEF meeting, now that you mention it... (Is that reference correct? I only absorb anime stuff via pop-cultural osmosis.)

Ground-based centrifugal (subsurface) habs are an option, of course. But frankly, if you have the ability to colonise in space, going for other planets is often senseless. Just build properly radiation-shielded space stations. It saves you from the burden of a gravity well, and spinning a...

Unless we're still talking aout Doctor Who, and you're British. Then it very much is your money, because it's made by the (government-funded) BBC...

The polls structurally under-estimated Trump, rather in line with the general media consensus. A consensus that continues to condemn and under-estimate Trump. Conclusion: there is no evidence of any kind that the bias has flipped suddenly. Therefore, if the polls are wrong now, "like in 2016"...

No, no -- it's what you want to go with. I'm just re-stating the implications of your argument, and apparently, you didn't think about them. The problem isn't "Trump people". The problem is people who are incapable of discussing honestly; who can only warp every argument to suit their desired...

You think Trump will do much better than the polls indicate, then? You know... :cool:

Certainly true! And let it never be said that the masses aren't fickle. I simply see no evidence that the majority of people dislike Donald Trump. For everyone who hates him, there's another that loves him. It's the guys in between who decide elections. And that doesn't necessarily mean...

Only the foolish types think like that. Educated clergymen wrote detailed treatises outlining why a complex, self-perpetuating and changing -- one might now say evolving -- Creation is in fact the grandest visible testimony to God's glory that one might imagine. And I'm talking about the 1100s...
