Young and attractive women are at risk of being raped. Having a dog with a machine gun will eliminate that risk. Therefore, any woman not so equipped is behaving irresponsibly. Don't be silly. There's many ways to be responsible. Even Mitten Force will work under the right conditions. This particul...

Add to the list the speculation that the Chinese communist government, having correctly assessed the temper of the West for decades, is playing the long game without firing a shot.

What species of bat was in the toxic soup, and is it indigenous to the Wuhan area?

Great fadeout.

... and confuse the inner voice with thought. That's a hell of a statement. Your own? Are you familiar with Castaneda's references to the Foreign Installation? What about thoughts that pop in from nowhere, from out of the blue, from way out in left field, apropos of nothing? You think of someone yo...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SsIgXp00aA -Imp I take it to mean, coping by becoming an escape artist. It could also mean coping via sharpening up trivial pursuit skills starting with Houdini, or it could mean coping through the distraction of a séance, perhaps a Ouija board when for some strange...

Reports: STILL Sweden bucks the trend: Public continue to mill about in groups as life goes on despite warnings their government's coronavirus approach is recipe for disaster. Depends on how you define disaster. Extinction, or survival? Ten million population with sealed borders. Herd immunity insu...

The essence doesn’t change. To predict what might be, discover what was. A Journal of the Plague Year – Daniel Defoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Journal_of_the_Plague_Year “In the book, Defoe goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets,...

My apologies Walker as I certainly got the wrong end of the stick there. I could blame your tendency for over turgid prose but suspect 'God' gave me a brain fart or I just had a senior moment. Turgid? Tell that to a brainwashed teen superhero and you'll hear, "How dare you!" Although the transmissi...

Attacking and denigrating the life-savers ... either England is quite the ironic place or else it’s under assault from “outside agitators.” Maybe both?

Here’s a news clip you’re not going to see flogged every day. I hunted it down from memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SKy8XAn5MQ On Feb. 24, Nancy Pelosi was out in public rubbing shoulders, spit talking to everyone that the world was perfectly safe for business as usual in San Francisco's Ch...

A weapon is more effective than the Mitten Force at discouraging fools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajaENs2iRJE * God help the nurses in England. “NHS nurses have been told to not wear their uniforms in public after some had been discriminated against and verbally abused in public, spat at, and ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RSaBoDl_9k That's a hell of a speech. Unions (and Henry Ford) built the middle class. Public-sector union, now that’s another animal. A case can be made that it’s an unethical animal. “The public sector is financed by taxes, making public sector unions able to play ...

In my view, yes it is. It may well be that some women have abortions for no other reason than "stone-cold, fucked-up selfishness", but that doesn't apply to any of the women I know who have had abortions. None of them took it lightly. Once I was scanning the radio reception while driving and I happ...

Even the people that don't have Qualia are Conscious in the general sense but they do not have a Conscious Experience of something like Redness for example. They simply Detect that there is Red out in their field of view much like a Computer does. They somehow sense what their Neurons are doing dif...

In the blame-logic of such a view, without God either atheists or nobody would be to blame for abominations. Outside of the view, blame the Chinese communist government, which I hear supplants God in that culture. How could an atheist blame a 'God"? I think you are confusing atheists with ex-theist...
