... or possibly that they seem like nice guys.

Of course, worldwide people are susceptible to superstition, and if you want to talk about harmful superstitions that affect HIV transmission then look no further than policy pushe…

> I like cats as much as the next guy, but seriously. Sure about that? I wouldn't want 50 harmless cats exterminated just because they bother the uptight guests of the hotel occasi…

The language doesn't look reminiscent of a chatbot to me. It seems that the person made a one-off account, posted something, then thought it didn't go through and made another acco…

Very true. I tried to jump into some higher-level math classes in college after finishing my major, and though I didn't completely fail, I would have learned much more if I had got…

> It's also a fascinating bit of hypocrisy, to say that the US is hung up on being right, and yet you feel free to bash the US while promoting the things others do right (you liste…

Same here. I surfed the internet and played computer games until 1 or 2 AM every night, and then spent a lot of time in junior high and high school nodding out in class. I really l…

Right! This whole thread has me scratching my head. Not long ago Microsoft schemed to stomp out Linux and now they've had a change of heart? Fuck Microsoft! To this day even they e…

I see no meaningful distinction between the San Bernandino shooters and the "lone wackos". Cultural background influences how an angry, mentally ill person will brand and target th…

Wait, the San Bernandino shooting is constantly referred to as terrorism by the media and by politicians... When the perpetrator isn't Muslim though, the situation is different (e.…

I feel you. I left about 3 years ago for a mixture of personal reasons and increasing discomfort with the direction of the country. Not only do most Americans seem oblivious to the…

It's not that anyone disagrees that all lives matter, it's that your intention in saying "all lives matter" is to undermine a legitimate social cause. "Black Lives Matter" supporte…
