I felt a little like doing this, but didn't want to open a Twitter account. Here goes.
Write a story within a hundred and forty characters (including spaces). Go.
Not sure I agree that the television series is superior, though I might have an unshakable bias; I read the book series years before I became aware of the show (I suppose I can thank WarK and Gnug215 for bringing it to my attention). I find it hard to compare and contrast the two in my head...
(Ray) Comfort.
If memory serves well, he threatened to ban anyone who uses the term "bibliophile" from commenting on his Facebook page. Like many people, he seems unwilling to open his dictionary, and discover what it actually means.
Ah, it's good to be back.
One hour ago, I watched this video. I love Vsauce, and the subject of the video was intriguing, but it inspired me to perform really pointless calculations. I like to think that I have at least a reasonable degree of competency in arithmetic, and sometimes I do things...
Yes, media outlets of all stripes are known to make these sorts of idle speculations quite routinely. I suppose it's arguably part of their job. Not knowing a great deal about this case, all I can say is that unless there is direct evidence of any of this (i.e. from medical history, and so...

Regardless of whether or not you are inclined to agree with Bluejay's overall premise, I trust you recognise the flagrantly obvious. It is relevant, because the topic under discussion within this thread concerns the future of humanity; a logical extension of this would be the...
If this fellow is a creationist, then I suspect (s)he will adhere to the threadbare "common genetics = common designer" propaganda-slogan that is widely touted to this day by prominent members of the US's Intelligent Design (ID) movement. Even though such a sentiment is not explicitly stated in...
Re: US Healthcare, Taxes, and the 99%â„¢
I apologise in advance for the minor (though nevertheless noticeable) formatting discrepancies. This post was originally made in BBCode, and not all of the features I'd administered (using the forum's text-editor) were possible to duplicate in HTML.

I don't see why one need bring up moral vegetarianism at all, or indeed why one is more likely to accept the ethical legitimacy of medical testing on non-human animals if they are omnivores. Though as Australopithecus stated,the form of this practice we may logically approve of is...
Sigur Rà³s is among my personal favourites too. I wonder, have you enjoyed (somewhat) , as I have , Jà³nsi's (their lead-singer) latest album which he performed outside of his band, and much of it in English? The album is called Go, and has more focus on baroque/ambient pop styles of music, as...
I have read the former, though not the latter. Perhaps I ought to ... but Animal Liberation was rather compelling. Singer's work is often described as most influential due to his thoroughgoing honesty, i.e. his willingness to always follow his reason to their just conclusion. Applied ethics is a...
@ Inferno & The Felonius Pope
Speaking of German (excuse the pun), and since we've been having some considerable discussion of the theological arguments of W. L. Craig in the Religion and Irreligion subforum, I felt that both of you (and especially Inferno might be interested to see this.
The...
I don't know how I managed to miss this for almost 2 weeks. Nevertheless, thank you.
I was beginning to think that we would not see him again, though I imagine his subscriber-count is significantly less than what it was, so he does not have as great a voice on YouTube as he once did. It will...
