Science is literally progressive. Without the scientific revolution there would have been no progressive movement. The mode of thinking encourages you to challenge appeals to authority with evidence. Science provides a grounding for rational debate that isn't based on tradition or authority figures. Because it's…

Actually, the likely situation (if your comment were valid) is that the person is lactose intolerant but also associates products believed to contain lactose with the experience of discomfort while digesting a lactose food. Don't be such a judgmental ass. Anyways, not all hard, aged cheese is lactose free by…

Hm. An interesting combination of an eating disorder and hypochondria. I can't get too mad at the fakers. Food is a pretty psychologically heavy subject.

Ice core samples give us yearly temperatures for thousands of years back. Your tired little talking points make it obvious you are willfully ignorant of climate science and only interested in misinterpreting evidence to suit your own bias. Just the fact that you don't understand how ice core sampling works and why…

Side effects may include visual and auditory hallucinations, short term memory loss, nervousness, euphoria, and temporary to sustained episodes of hubris.

Kill it.

As a word for the part of the body, I think it's indispensable. Vagina, labia, vulva, et al are too clinical. The only slang terms I can think of are either childish or euphemistic.
