ExMachina

There is no judgment about what members say, only how they say it. If you have a theory about Bigfoot, post it, then be prepared to defend. If you don’t like the politics of the people here, I suppose that would suck, but it’s a big internet. Moderation can’t change the politics. I’m not here (when I’m acting as moderator) to create a bubble ch…

Just hope the experts don’t change the vaccine status from “slightly less effective against delta” to “much less effective against delta” — which is quite possible.

Ok so what if they did? The object here is to resolve the epidemic from getting worse, but I’m sure you’re the guy who refuses the vaccination based on half-witted ideas that it may…[Read more]

@write4u Thank you, fine sir

w4u I don’t blame people here for how they view me (yourself included), but instead of assuming the intents of others, I think this forum will do well with a little more consideration of other’s perspectives without the assumption of them being morally bankrupt (like myself).

You mean like America imposes its shit culture on others?

Not accurate.  American pop culture is well liked around the world.  America imposes its politics on the rest of the world and that causes resentment of anything American to some people.

This is why I see people on this forum as boxed in their thinking. If you really want to promote t…[Read more]

In a universe of cause and effect, probability is only an indication of a lack of knowledge.

I don’t know how many times I run into people who seemingly cannot comprehend this. All we have is the perception of what is, or isn’t true. Reality doesn’t bend to beliefs, so what you believe means absolutely nothing to truth. I can post this in many…[Read more]

@mriana I just got vaccinated yesterday and so far it hasn’t affected me yet in any way (crossed fingers).

Sorry if this is off-topic, just wanted to throw that out there. I would have done it much earlier but I’m dealing with a lot as of late.

Yeah CC you’re right again. My post leaves nothing to reply upon. I really did enjoy our connection back then. Your post of introspection rang out to me but I don’t expect us always to agree. I guess it’s the fight that you and I can both appreciate. If knowledge was so easily gained by a book, then no thought would have meaning. You have that…[Read more]

Baloney.  Males have been telling women what to think and do for ever man.  Where has your head been buried???

That’s a hyperbolic statement, to say the least. Why is it so trendy to hate men?

I don’t think you’ve ever tackled the questions on men and women directly.

Who of both sexes has, in your opinion, brought more to the world?

What men need to learn from Simone Biles

Could you imagine the horror nightmare tabloids that would cause the launch of missiles destroying all nations of the world if it had said “What women need to learn from “enter male”.  Honestly, I thank female Jesusa that this didn’t happen.

When I warn you about violating CFI rules, that’s what I’m doing. The rules here are designed for reasonable scientific inquiry. You operate somewhere near the edge of that, mostly expressing opinions that are not supportable, regardless of how popular you think they are.

And I get specific. The thing about 58 genders for example. You are rep…

What I see as a major problem about this board not allowing private messages is that it reeks of the command and control method of not allowing anyone to communicate within the forum from prying eyes. I’ve had this many times where I wanted to send a private message to Citizenschallenge, write4u, Mriana, and Lausten with personal questions. If I…[Read more]

It’s like some de-evolved. I’m not angry about going back to masks, because I never stopped wearing mine, despite being fully vaccinated.

Sorry I couldn’t post more because this is my 12-hour workday and my mind is too tired to read the details of your post (not saying it isn’t important). I wanted to say that it’s so frustrating on all sides. Bot…[Read more]

Like any common consultant knows, the correct answer is always It Depends.

If the appropriation is for exploitation – just for money, fame, etc – then, Yes it is wrong.

If it’s simply for interest or admiration, “Imitation is the best compliment” … or something like that.

Something in between?  It depends.

I think that’s a good and fair answer.…[Read more]

Very much so. In your shit music, food, fashion, language and narcissism.

djTexas 😂

I don’t think we’re forcing anyone in other countries to be more like us. Back in 1990 my Japanese girlfriend would tell me how Japanese boys would dye their hair just to look more American. Even today, you have Asians doing eyelid surgery so that they look more like Caucasians.

I’m not really following you here.

That seems a well worded straightforward question, don’t think it needs any tweaking.

Getting a constructive answer out of it, is another matter.

Good point. There was really nothing open-ended about the post leaving much for outside input.

What are you wanting?  To shred, destroy attack and humiliate someone?

Yeah, I figured this was a bit mu…[Read more]
