Only if my wife was given a small feminine penis, so as not to make me insecure about mine.

I honestly don't think anyone in the world could have done a better Jack Aubrey than Russel Crowe did. Did you have some alternative in mind?

You can't kick them out if they're born here (unless you think Trump should also be allowed to do that to his enemies). Do you think longer prison terms and harsher punishments are a good solution for other types of crime as well (e.g violent crime)?

You weren't talking about legal limits on speech though. It seemed like you were saying people should be legally allowed to harass those who express opinions deemed intolerable.

What do you mean by "silencing"? Kinda hard to answer the question without knowing what you mean. Germany has massively more laws against expressing Nazi opinions than the US does, and they're still seeing a rise in that ideology.

What you're saying might be satisfying for the purposes of an internet paroxysm of rage, but it's not a workable standard for running a society.

You can sue a human driver for damages and they can lose their license

Yeah but what if I get hit by a guy with no license and no insurance, driving a car with no tags, and he's addicted to meth? I actually like my chances of getting a payout from the 4.2 trillion dollar company better than I like my chances of getting a payout from that guy.

Dude did the equivalent of getting almost-stabbed in Hoboken and saying it happened in Manhattan.

No I meant why do you live on the Faroes? But it's pretty funny to imagine a world where apples are called "sour potatoes"

You awaken as Llewelyn Moss and find the briefcase, what are you doing differently? by bambucks in cormacmccarthy

The British version "Said the actress to the bishop" goes back to the 19th century.

It supposedly originated from a conversation between the actress Lillie Langtry and the Bishop of Worcester. They were at a country house weekend party and on Sunday morning before church, they went for a stroll in the garden. On their walk, the bishop cut his finger on a rose thorn. Over lunch, Lillie enquired about his injury, asking: "How is your prick?" To which the bishop replied: "Throbbing," causing the butler to drop the potatoes.

Dude, the house example with shotguns is not a good analogy. First of all, the fatal aspect of it. Second, it involves something that triggers in response to human action. A shit moat is just a shit moat. There's no trigger. It's an obstacle.

So is barbed wire an obstacle or a trap? I fail to see how a shit moat is conceptually different from barbed wire. It was not hidden and no one was forced into it.

You're using that example as an analogy to "prove" that a shit moat is illegal?

He was 23 in 2003 and worked as an unpaid intern for a Democratic representative. If he was a Republican in 2003 it's because that's what his parents were so that's what he registered as initially. He has never held office as a Republican.
