    Do Public Accommodations Laws Violate Free Speech and Free Exercise Rights?

    I say let them turn away who they want, with the caveat that it must be clearly displayed and presented. Let the market determine whether they will be able to stay in business or not. I expect, most of the time, these places would lose far more business than they gained if everyone knew their...

    Can the Sciences Prove that Something is True?

    In this case, I could ask whether an ATM machine could serve you breakfast. It isn't built to, so of course it can't. Then again, "proof" has variable connotations, which is why the thread has something to actually discuss.

    Can the Sciences Prove that Something is True?

    Fortunately, "local" is the context of general utility.

    Odd Things Said To You

    When I worked in downtown DC, I used to take a cab to work, on occasion, if I was running late - About a $20 ride altogether. One day, I hop in the cab and say "how are you," as usual, and the driver acts all suspicious. He then proceeded to accuse me of being with the media and trying to...

    Can the Sciences Prove that Something is True?

    "Proof" has to be defined contextually. Assuming the laws of physics are consistent according to our countless observations, science has proven a great many things. If there is no air resistance, two objects of different sizes and masses will always fall at the same rate - and at a predictable...

    Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean to no longer include auction scene selling women

    I have no idea why people don't want their young children exposed to innocent, light-hearted portrayals of human slavery while at amusement parks.

    Is Trump Mentally Well Enough to be President?

    I don't see eliminating the electoral college (as unlikely as that is) as doing anything to fix the underlying problems of a broken and corrupt system, and an uneducated and easily manipulated populace. Everything has gotten so twisted and distorted over time, that I don't think most people...

    Is The Best Evidence For God Father Time?

    Your humor is as elevated as your argumentation and spelling.

    "NRA Issues Call for White Supremacy and Armed Insurrection"

    Normal is a sliding scale. Marketers know this better than anyone.

    Egad! A Revolution in the Mormon Church. Can Starbucks and Thong Underwear be Far Behind?

    There you go again, asking for some time of rationality or reason. For some people, these concepts have absolutely no meaning or value. It's like asking someone who was born blind to describe a rainbow.

    "NRA Issues Call for White Supremacy and Armed Insurrection"

    Naw, they've just gotten really good at marketing and selling firearms, which is their primary function.

    Is The Best Evidence For God Father Time?

    Apparently, you don't even understand the rules of the game. Pigeon chess is so popular these days.

    Is Trump Mentally Well Enough to be President?

    It's clear that his psychological and emotional makeup and reactions are not within a healthy range. Whether or not they are off enough to make him unwell enough to be President, I'm not certain. Of course, when you're talking about such an influential and powerful position, I would tend to...

    Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean to no longer include auction scene selling women

    Never fear. The sex trafficking business is booming. You can still purchase a high quality female at a reasonable price, if you act now!

    Is sexual orientation determined at birth?

    I doubt, if there's a god, that it cares about the mating habits of one briefly existing, primitive species, who exists on one tiny dust mote floating in an endless expanse. Only human arrogance and ignorance could conceive of such a ridiculous, self-absorbed notion. Of course, blaming it on...

    German federal parliament votes pro same-sex marriage

    I can't believe they passed a law which is so blatantly against Muslim values and beliefs. The oppression and denigration of the Muslim minority continues.

    Small Victories.

    It's a good thing I don't swim like a brick.

    Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean to no longer include auction scene selling women

    As long as they don't take out the Micky and Minnie S&M scene, I'm fine.

    Is The Best Evidence For God Father Time?

    You have to assume he exists in the first place in order to place trust in him. Pop fly. Double play. Game over.

    Why Would He Do This?

    Be comforted by the fact that his internalized self-loathing will likely result in a long, downward-spiral of misery in his life. He's basically crying out for help, but doesn't even know it. Of course, the next time you see his car, you can always chuck a rock through the window and hit him...
