Yeah, that's helpful, David. There are eleven Dave DeCaros in the Seattle area alone. But whatever. I really am done arguing with you this time. I will say this though. In terms of being unrepent ...

Your own words, Todd. Please tell me why you find my saying "The truth is that if you were not afraid of punishment you would be using children for your own personal sexual gratification. Fear of ...

Still keepin' it classy, eh?

You think you deserve better treatment than you've given me for most of my time at DU and ID? Fuck you. I gave Andras a little leeway because he's only recently turne ...

I know I said I was done with this board, but I will reply to this only:

Yeah, Andras, honey? I think I speak for many here when I say, you really are a dreadfully infantile little shit. Maybe someday you'll realize that it's not all about you. Morality is complicated a ...

That's a significant point when you are discussing flooding public spaces with guns, which is what many gun nuts seem to advocate for. They want a return to the Wild West, which was sooooo peaceful a ...

It always baffles me that people can't see that QT is actually quite the racist.

I don't think he's a genuine racist. I just think he is stuck in a high school-level mentality of "I'm going t ...

Markaba, you make gun abuse out to be a result of societal dysfunction. Where does craziness fit in your list of causes? For mass shootings, untreated schizophrenia is #1 on my list.

Yeah, I'm goin ...

It doesn't really matter. What do you do with guns lying around in private homes? Prohibition does not seem to work.

Buy them back for twice what they were paid for. Hell, that's probably way chea ...

That's interesting because you didn't have

I am not taking your bait. Taunting me will not get me to debate you.

Anyway, I never claimed I had all of the solutions; I'm just telling you what ...

Ah, there we go again. You can't answer a

No, I just know from personal experience and by observing the experiences of others that it is a waste of time to debate you.

You guys have fun in your echo chamber when you're the only two left here, and keep feeding each other bullshit like two lovebirds feeding each other chocolate.

It's just marketing. They can then say, "Well, we have a plan and the ball's in your court."

Yeah, it's marketing all right. They want more guns in the hands of more people, thus likely ...

Pro-violence. Okay. Will you confiscate guns with guns?

You know what's funny? The NRA is supposedly against the rise of a "police state" and yet they are the ones recommending putting a ...

Did we read the same article mark? It sounded to me like government could deny people due process on a whim now. How long before the next moral panic, and we start locking people up preëmptively? (Jus ...

Purple gets my vote.

Yeah, I posted the same article on GC a few days ago. It definitely feels like there is a sea-change going on with this issue. I see these kinds of things coming out pretty regularly now.

Sure, but intrinsically is vague. Is it DNA? Womb? Hormones? Infancy? Childhood? Epigenetics?
"Intrinsically" would mean that only infancy and childhood could be excluded from your list. Re ...

"But it's as intrinsic as the next person's heterosexuality."

LOL, 18 out of 20 Roman emperors had male lovers.

[url=http://www.babble.com/mom/why-my-7-year-old-is-an-atheist-and-why-im-okay-with-that/]No, really! Read this! (And please note which forum I placed it in.)

What a moron. Bless Markaba's pedo memory, because Dune reference in his name, but then I'm taking them right back for being a total dumbass.

This was an ad for a bank. That makes this piece private, not public art.

I meant public in the sense that it was performed in public, without any cost to them. All art costs something, even if it ...
