We've discussed this topic many time's on this site and my position has always been strongly in favour of people being allowed to be who they think they are. What I've learned from the many, many page's of conversation on this and related topics (sport et all) is that repeating the scientific evidence does very little to change the mind of someone who's main argument is the meme "the definition of an expert is, ex is someone who was and spurt is a drip under pressure." The ethics of this discussion is clear for all, it's the politics that should be under scrutiny; my apologies for not being a better satirist. I thought my quip about a craving for ants named steve, was really funny; be a shame if it got me cancelled.

Indeed, that was my point...

I'm not defending Mig, but we all do... Jokes are a way to codify meaning, and explian thing's that the less acidemically inclined fail to see; unfortunately, not everyone gets the joke...

It's a little self indulgent, if you imagine that anyone who disagrees with you just want to annoy you... I really don't care what you think, but it's fun when I think I've won a meaningless game; it's why we have moderator's, they're trying to protect you from yourself...

At some point the alphabet people will have to commit to laughing at themselves, if they want to be accepted. I'm on my third shoe with this joke, it would seem.

That depends on the level of commitment...

Indeed, today I had mushroom soup, and now I have a craving for ant's named stewart...

People are frightened of almost every abstract version of tomorrow that doesn't include their current level subsistence. We'd be better off employing an octopus to lead us. Nothing could be easier than to paint such a picture, if all you want is more; Banksy chose a different path...

That may be true, but if I was a Palestinian I'd choose the rock, bc the hardplace just sucks...

But it is kinda birdlike...

You know what they say about duck's???

Would you have these qualms about the loom you built?

I see that there's very little point in trying to explain anything to you; duly noted. If you don't like what I post, may I suggest that you ignore me or report my off topic antics, but I would ask that you follow the site's most basic rule, that of civility. <sigh> I wasn't referring to anyone in particular, accept perhaps "Rain man".

Every time I read about a new gun related atrocity in America, I think surely this time the scales will, at least start, fall from their eyes.

Some very rich people will pay alot to stop that happening; people have the right to kill anyone but me and my employees (unless I decide to fire them)... In the words of Dave Chappelle (almost), "get every black person, in America, to register... for a gun licence, if you want to change the law."...

Another point well missed. A genius is an outlier, it takes a combination of unusual circumstances for a genius to have any meaning at all, and even then some of them can't be trusted to cross the road safely.

Your guess is not relevant... 🙄 The only difference is, you imagine you're right and say so, and I just ask if you know what you're talking about... 🙄

Indeed, but a lot depends on being alive... 😉

Indeed, but just to add: It's much easier to make counterfeit pill's than it is to make a counterfeit car.

Is it? I thought you didn't like philosophy; what does a gorged brain tell you? Real homeless people still have access to a fire, kitchen utensils (a knife) and space is no problem at all; besides homeless people aren't magically devoid of energy. Not as far as I can tell. And this is why it should only be people that understand, the judiciary is as close as we can get to that particular nirvana...

Not sure how that would help with my poker strategy.

If you've never been hungry enough to eat from a bin, you'll be ignorant as to how delicious food can be... Whatever culinary skills you acquire... In the right context "murdering people" is a kindness; it's far more cruel, in the right context, to keep people alive. That's why we have a judiciary, the only problem with that is, the government makes the rules, instead of people that actually understand.

Because everyone said my gran made the best tea... 😉

One has to wonder...

Of course there is, my Gran made it...
