The Simple Truths Silver Mine

Always seem to be on the winning side only on issues I don't really care about.

Welcome to the left. social conservative movement

Feminists have long been making the point they we're conditioning exaggerated gender roles into our children - hyper-masculinity included.

Seriously, DC. Try to know what you're talking about.

academia =/= the twats on my facebook page

So why not rename this "twats on my facebook page double standard"?

Also, I can't help but wonder why one would keep "twats" in his FB friends lists. Of course you are similar to most people in that regard, but I've never understood the lack of selectivity in adding FB friends.

Because I took it off the internet and I'm too lazy to edit the image . Plus it worked for my snarky response to a bunch of self-identified feminists. As for facebook selectivity, you're totally right and I need to trim my friends list a bit.

Ignore the haters, if you want to be a better poster, be a better poster.

NIMBYs have made California much more expensive than it needs to be.

[DC Al Fine]

why is the West pro-OH St?

Because f[inks] the SEC, that's why.

While under Mandela, the ANC was a FF organization, it's now corrupt and useless.

Also, it's -10 C out right now and it sucks

Nathan, do you search for any uses of the word 'religion' used since the last time you logged on?  Just curious.

Har har har. No, I do not. The intolerably smug and simplistic nonsense that certain posters spew on this subject crosses my radar more than frequently enough as it is without actively looking for even more of it.

That was a quick and tone changing edit there...

Well, yes, because I realized quickly that my original tone was uncalled for.

In any case, I think I've earned the right to be smug about having a better grasp of my own field of study than, well, people whose field of study it incredibly obviously isn't.

You don't have a particularly good grasp of non-religious belief however it presents itself to you, which has came across particularly when I have discussed secular morality (there is a post on the atlas ether somewhere in which you said that secular ethics and the reason for unbelief didn't even concern you)

So you can't fully say you have a 'complete' grasp of the matters at hand. It would be like someone who has superb knowledge of the history of the Democrat Party claiming to have a full grasp of American political history despite never studying the GOP

That's not really relevant given the sheer simplicity of Memphis & HockeyDude's bigotry. One does not need a PhD in Poli Sci to refute OldiesFreak's view of the Democratic party.
