Attacking the manner of someone’s speech is a form of personal attack

Sorry this is so long. I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t read to the end.

I tried this yesterday without directions and couldn’t get it to work. Today, I decided to try directions and the directions aren’t any different than what I’ve already tried and I can’t get it to work. I’ve tried my cheaper Jawbone speaker and even my more expensive Harmon Kardon speaker and nothing works. I’ve also…

“It means tearing down rape culture”

Shapiro’s emphasises that if you criticize Hogg, people then attack you for being insensitive to someone who survived a traumatic event, but also that surviving the event he experienced doesn’t somehow magically confer expert status on gun control measures. Shapiro also talks about how Hogg and like minded individuals…

I can’t imagine flying in Soviet era aircraft. I’ve flown in several post-Soviet era passenger planes and the experience is utterly frightening. In America, we laugh at how many things the government purchases at the lowest bid and how that translates to lower quality. In Soviet Russia, absolutely everything was…

I love the band although I’m not sure I have any interest in seeing the movie. They’re a bunch of chill dudes and they know they don’t have to take everything seriously.

I’ve seen some of the videos from Sommer’s speech from inside and outside the venue. At one point, people were yelling, lock’em in and burn it down. The only hate and intolerance on display were the protesters, many of whom were wearing the traditional Antifa garb and masks. One takeaway from watching video of the…

Wow, I’ve been posting here for years without being grayed. What happened?

I would like to see some posts similar to Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools. A great tool can sometimes be its own excellent life hack.

As a long time US based reader, I couldn’t agree more with this. All the stars to you!

You should be. This article is about this specific case. When people are discussing a particular thing, the discussion should stick to that particular thing.

So, as I thought, you can’t speak to the specifics of this case.

You know, Obama used the term Anglo-American a couple of times in his career. Does that make him a racist? Why did the media ignore this from Obama, but lose their minds when Sessions uses the same words in the same way.

Do you know exactly which provisions are exempt?

It’s not illegal because religious institutions are exempt from this law. Additionally, a condition of employment is to sign a morality clause which specifically states that you will be terminated for homosexuality. The Catholic church believes that teachers in the classroom are to assist with the spiritual guidance…

I’m not sure I understand any confusion caused by her being sacked. When you work for the catholic church and you do what she did and how she did it, you should expect to be fired. It’s not like their stance on homosexuality is a secret. I’m not Catholic, but as far as I know, it’s their belief that homosexuality is…

There are objective metrics we can use to determine if things are getting better or worse, such as general health, wealth, and access to good and services. These are measurable and can be viewed objectively. Unfortunately, every single thing you mentioned falls in the subjective category, including climate change.…

Hans Rosling loved to show visualizations of data detailing how the world has gotten better over the years as industrialization has spread. People love to blame fossil fuels for any number of problems in the world. To be clear, there are problems with fossil fuels, but overall, fossil fuels have been the foundation on…

I don’t drink alcohol and neither does my wife. I’ve also stressed to my children that alcohol in and of itself isn’t a bad thing and that like anything, moderation is absolutely key. Saying that, it’s also important to note that it seems some people can never moderate alcohol intake effectively and will become…
