I have no idea what you're babbling about - I had nothing to do with any post being deleted. I'll refer you to my earlier post, where I pointed out that a good liberal fights for the rights of others, including those he may disagree with, and that i…

"Good thing I didn’t claim that, then, huh? Phew!" Yes you did - that was the point of your Sowell quote. If that was not the point, the quote would have been a non-sequitur response, i.e. a non-response. Take your pick - you lose either way. As…

Are you a performance artist, Tallest Skil? I just gave you the arguments - which you entirely ignored. Businessmen, political and religious leaders are on a spectrum of conservative to liberal. It is wrong and counter reality to claim that they can…

"My use of those two examples was in mockery of the fallacy he used in supporting his desires." Oh, that's just funny. See, I'm a straight, white male, married to a woman. So, in defending gay rights, I am hardly "supporting my desires". Careful, …

"Nothing could be more jolting and discordant with the vision of today's intellectuals than the fact that it was businessmen, devout religious leaders and Western imperialists who together destroyed slavery around the world. And if it doesn't fit th…

Win or lose in this instance - it really doesn't matter. The long term trend is toward victory for the angels. They (broadly conservatives) are always against the civil rights of the era, whatever the era may be - whether we should keep a king, or a…

Those who bring up the first amendment should be aware of how constitutional law functions. The first amendment is not a free "get out of jail" card for anything and everything. Free speech is limited - you may not reveal official secrets designat…

My iPod classic is slowly dying. What to do? I absolutely need the most space I can possibly get, because I have a ton of music I like to carry around. I also have a 32GB iPod Touch 5G, but I don't listen to music on it. So what do I buy to replace …

I like the USB. Seriously, iPad is lame for not having it. Not everything can be done wirelessly, there are tons and tons of devices that only use usb, this opens up things a lot... of course, there being no user accessible file system on the iPad…

Wow. Do you guys also like to exercise by jogging along the middle of the freeway at night? Wearing black clothes? Because there is no way in heck I'm going to install 10.5.1. right now. Why be a guinea pig? Wait until the bugs are worked out. I hav…

Just as well, I suppose. I'm in no hurry to move to Lion, personally. What's the exact advantage? I'm on SL and fine with it. SL is stable for me, for the most part. I have some PPC apps that require Rosetta, so Lion is actually a downgrade for me -…

OK, I'm in a peculiar situation. My wife has a blackberry through work, so we didn't desperately need a smartphone "right this second" and never got around to getting one. At home we have a "feature" phone (some lame Samsung or another). But the thi…
