A speaker propositioned women at a conference and the women had the choice whether or not they had sex with the guy?

I've never heard of such brazen behavior, aside from every avocational conference I've attended, anywhere, ever.

I keep hearing the sentence "kissed without [X's] consent". Isn't it better to use "forcefully kissed"? Because I suppose most people haven't explicitly asked for consent before kissing someone else. Forcing a kiss isn't the same thing as kissing someone without asking them first. I'm thinking he m...

To repeat what I said in the undead thread, a game centered around the feeding frenzy mechanic sounds like a lot of fun.

No offense Steersman but you're not exactly holding the high ground respecting tarring everyone in a group on account of their shared religious views.

It is difficult to see what symbolic meaning must be invested therein, such that the bearers of that flag feel at home in both venues. Trumpism, perhaps? Perhaps "I don't care about your faux moral outrage." ? This may be the least uncharitable reading, but I'd say it's pretty spot on. I doubt that...

In the annals of heroically uncharitable readings, this rates near in the top tier. Thomas isn't doing himself any favors here.

Don’t expect he’d much care, one way or another.

Sargon started a twitter campaign against a (female) UK politician - Jess Phillips - who was arguing for Internet censorship and who was prepared to use her status as a rape victim to shut down opposition.

Yeah, Carrier can grow like a motherfucker when it serves his interests.

By way of social experiment, it might be fun to see if Sargon can get a photo with Rick Carrier, Matt Dillahunty, or basically anyone else who used to be considered FtB approved.

Belay that, I just caught your previous post.

There goes my hope that he might have a reasonable discussion. He is walking into this wanting to prove/score a point for his "team."

Without specific examples, Jim, it's difficult to judge whether any given complaint or criticism does indeed spring from prejudice or animosity.

People from abusive, controlling, even cultish religious groups and/or families. My experience (a loving family w...
