If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

It is generally true, to some extent at least, that "language is usage". But that doesn't necessarily mean that the usage is particularly accurate or holds much water - as in the sunrise example I provided earlier. What the fuck does this even mean? What is generally true, to some extent that ''lan...

No. Steers doesn't understand people communicating on the internet. He's asked for people to use emoticons while talking to him so he can understand when we're being funny and when we're making a serious point, because he just doesn't know how to read conversational communication. He doesn't mean t...

I've been in conversation with Michael Nugent concerning (John (Greg) Watson), and he shared what we knew already. His suicide was not despair or depression, but a rational response to what he regarded as an unacceptable situation, viz. being homeless in Canada as a sixty-year-old man without a saf...

You keep acting as if Steerzo has any interest in talking WITH people. He doesn't. He never has. He wants to bludgeon them senseless with walls of text that are pull quotes from other people. Pinker et al, or dictionaries or anything that anyone *else* wrote. He's a parrot with a list of wikipedia ...

To be clear, Steersman, do you think the phrase "post-menopausal women" carries meaning or it is like "square circle" to you? Some meaning - more like talking about the sun rising - and not quite as much an oxymoron as "square circle": not particularly accurate but gives some indication of what's h...

One might ask, but not reasonably. I haven't actually seen you deal with the ambiguity of the word "can", as in "can produce ova" which is in every definition I've looked at. I have noticed though that you always leave it out, opting for "produces ova". :think: Not sure what dictionary you're using...

Oh christ, he blathered on about that earlier.

snip LOL. Between those two irrational extremes, lies a stretch of reality wide enough to drive a Peterbilt through. But Steers is right in one aspect: if Muscato is a woman, than the term 'woman' can mean anything -- thus, nothing. Hallelujah! Someone (finally) gets it! ;-) Though one might reason...

What was the opinion regarding Reagan before his election? I was only a nipper when he was POTUS so have no idea of the way the US people regarded him.

I think Muscato is smart enough to go to the men's room unless he puts some effort into dress, wig and full shave. You say that but if you read his twitter feed it doesn't appear that way at all. I think Muscato is primarily talking 'yay team' smack on his twitter feed. He made the announcement. He...

Is there a rational justification for toilet stalls at all or should everyone just stop being such a prude?
