He quotes from The Guardian, Al Jazeera, and Haaretz /s How many of those killed were actually Hamas fighters?

> I think his use of "it has been argued", "have been credited to", and "purportedly" in this context are not weaselly, and are fine in reference to unsubstantiated arguments that …

Hear. Just keep getting reelected, since no one expects you to accomplish anything. People in the rest of the country push "term limits" as the solution to everything. I always poi…

TCR could have been justified by everyone having massive faith in the future, as OP is suggesting happened with roads. But you're quite wrong that "few people sat around asking whe…

You could go on newspapers.com (free for 7 days) and look at those old papers. I know that the Transcontinental Railroad was intensely controversial. What's "bad-faith" about it?

"Someone might be misled!" Classic cry of the people who want to regulate and control everything. Maybe if the certificate is worthless, the students will figure it out? Maybe by d…

You're right: you said "statistically we never had any luck trying, or by an exhaustive search of all possible perpetual motion machines." as an antithesis. I took "reasoned to be …

There's plenty to find. Ask any dog or cat owner. I think if your 4-year-old aliens were found, many humans would find them charming and fun pen pals (assuming they're not dangerou…

It isn't just statistics and bad luck for PM inventors. There are physical reasons arguing strongly that it's impossible.

> All you need to do is ... That's not all you have to do. I'll let people who've owned houses in snowy climates amplify that. In a building, water is your eternal enemy. Keeping i…

No. They liked it that way, and thought "beauty" was bourgeois.

Me, too: Android phone and Mac laptop.

Perhaps if NK wanted to be understood they'd allow tourists to come in and wander around and talk to the happy natives. Just answer us this: is an NK citizen free to emigrate to so…
