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 934 Views
I agree. nossy - 03/02/2012 10:48:25 PM 1684 Views
Yeah, I am unsure whether to be impressed or disappointed. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:38:05 AM 1872 Views
That is a logical and reasonable assessment. Joel - 04/02/2012 08:59:59 PM 1853 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 1350 Views
An extreme case of eye of the beholder. Joel - 05/02/2012 01:39:04 AM 1659 Views
You think very well. Gher - 05/02/2012 04:12:11 AM 1700 Views
note: "social conservatives", not "fiscal conservatives" Tom - 03/02/2012 09:37:18 PM 1707 Views
I've wondered: Nate - 03/02/2012 09:55:14 PM 1719 Views

Just wait ten years Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:21:25 PM 1590 Views
Oh, I still vote Republican. Tom - 04/02/2012 01:49:43 AM 1606 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 1827 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 1684 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 1739 Views
By referencing it… Jeordam - 03/02/2012 10:50:59 PM 1581 Views
That's an odd idea. Nate - 03/02/2012 11:10:31 PM 1653 Views
It was a mostly facetious comment…. Jeordam - 03/02/2012 11:49:28 PM 1029 Views
Clearly you endorse it. Dannymac - 05/02/2012 02:23:41 AM 772 Views
Only endorsing its validity, not its soundness. *NM* Dan - 04/02/2012 02:24:24 AM 472 Views
Not really; again, I took no position, just thought it might prompt some entertaining conversation. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:02:44 AM 825 Views
Tempting... Isaac - 03/02/2012 11:17:43 PM 910 Views
I expected no less. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:25:14 AM 946 Views
Still fun though Isaac - 05/02/2012 01:30:26 AM 1044 Views
Well, that is the main thing. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:25:36 AM 1067 Views
Well, racists are dumb. What's to discuss? ironclad - 04/02/2012 01:23:27 AM 759 Views
I think that generally agreed, though we need a study PROVING what we already know. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:41:26 AM 1027 Views
Proving is something you do in maths, not science. jh - 05/02/2012 09:05:30 AM 766 Views
So the Moon might still be made of green cheese? Joel - 05/02/2012 10:20:57 AM 873 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 707 Views
Oh, let us not go THERE. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:54:30 PM 940 Views
Bad comparison Isaac - 05/02/2012 03:36:12 PM 817 Views
Well, that last part will make sure this gets ugly.... Dannymac - 04/02/2012 02:05:11 AM 644 Views
Do you not think it's true then? rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 07:32:13 AM 962 Views
Same here *NM* ironclad - 04/02/2012 12:13:44 PM 378 Views
Not in my experience. Dannymac - 04/02/2012 04:17:01 PM 859 Views
Granted, you do move in different circles than I (or Jens, for that matter.) rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:24:52 PM 815 Views
Corfirmational bias much? Stephen - 04/02/2012 04:25:24 PM 828 Views
I did mention that I didn't care enough to look into it. rebelaessedai - 04/02/2012 10:22:09 PM 848 Views
As a few others have noted, it is important to preserve the causality chain. Joel - 05/02/2012 02:35:02 AM 825 Views
I dont see that it matters. rebelaessedai - 13/02/2012 01:40:45 AM 1017 Views
In terms of policy, it probably does not; in terms of demographics, it definitely does. Joel - 13/02/2012 02:52:23 AM 934 Views
Putting a Klan photo at the top probably did not help either. Joel - 05/02/2012 12:53:45 AM 936 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 891 Views
Groundhog 2012! Nate - 04/02/2012 05:15:31 AM 832 Views
screw the groundhog, we have been in the high 60's all week Ray - 04/02/2012 09:28:38 PM 671 Views
Bah, you sound like a liberal arguing against lower black IQ test scores. *NM* Cannoli - 04/02/2012 07:00:43 AM 898 Views
Well, I will certainly agree anyone with half a brain can see through Fox "News." Joel - 05/02/2012 01:37:35 AM 949 Views
