A semantic issue comically demonstrated by Stephen Colbert in 2012: “America Again. Re-becoming the greatness we never weren’t” [IMG]
Certainly it must be true that some people are more easily influenced than others, but this doesn’t answer my question regarding what puts you...
I think gaterz’s point was centered on the relative villainy of each statement. Your point is a more complicated one. I do think that the media...
I was being honest with you this whole time. You’ve chosen not to respond to my questions and instead insult my reason and call me a derper...
Lacks objectivity? I would love to know the criterion for objectivity that you are employing in this assessment. Why does it matter which...

It’s hard to know what causes any N of 1, but this seems horrible. Hopefully it can be remedied.
I wish we’d take a breather before laying blame. And while Im not a fan of stoking tribal tensions from either side, but let’s not pretend that...
Hey duchen, good to see you, man. Hope you’ve been doing well during your very understandable sabbatical from Too Hot.
Jeez. Trump has a great response, and then we get this crap from his potential running mate.
Indeed sir. In a land of almost 400 mil people, we should expect at least a dozen of any kind of person imaginable, but it still feels like a...
Man this is saddening.
