@Baranduin Cheers mate. :) Thank you for correcting some of my misapprehensions about Spanish society and history. ;) I'm aware that Rosa isn't a typical Spaniard either, and in a way that was very much my point,....TBH I don't really have any fixed view of the Spanish, I take people as...

The article you linked to has the same author as the bullshit, "snake-oil" "self-help" articles,.....and you still think it's a reliable source? I'm not claiming anything for, or against Akiane Kramarik, I'm pointing out that the article you linked to is unreliable.

BTW Case,...have you noticed that the author of the article you linked to, "riotgrrrl", is also the author of the three "self-help" articles that I left links to? Reliable witness? Conflict of interest? Someone who'll write any bullshit she can copypasta from somewhere as long as it agrees with...

WHAT ADVERTISING? The part I quoted is the end of the article you linked to! Get it?

Did you read ALL of that article Case? Including the part at the end where it seamlessly turns into this: "How you can maximise your potential, and achieve what you want out of life?" Which is followed by these three links: http://hubpages.com/hub/Become-a-fully-functioning-person-in-2009...

Point taken about "false dichotomy", and I can see where you're coming from with argumentum ad ignorantiam, but Jotto seems to be asking if there is a specific term for describing a phenomenon (singular),...as though it were phenomena (plural). Is there a term for this that you know of Hack?

Et la:

Or in other words,...no matter how laughably fallacious and over-generalised your statements are, you will always claim to be in the right about them. If you were as laid-back and free-thinking as you claim to be, then you would have the capacity to admit your errors.

Hmmm....I'm thinking "It's kinda hard to look up someone's skirt when they're wearing trousers..."

I'm not sure where it fits, but I'm pretty sure it's known as "false dichotomy".

Unless I'm very much mistaken the notion that "national-socialism" was in some way truly socialist, was fostered and nurtured by far right Republicans in the US post WW2. Arguably the main reason for such a fudging of political boundaries was to demonise the new Eastern Bloc, and Soviet Union...

@Worldquest My ex gf Rosa was from Valencia. She's sexually repressed, and shy about her body to extraordinary extremes,...she won't even look at her naked body in the mirror, this is a consequence of her repressive Catholic upbringing. She's a school-teacher, very obsessive about having...

@Gnug What's the mechanism that causes people to believe in conspiracy theories? There were a number of wall-posters that were very popular during the 90s,...two of the most popular used to hang in Fox Mulder's office,...one had the motto "The truth is out there.",....and the other one said "I...

Money is a system of representational tokens, used to represent human labour and natural resources. Any other view of money is deluded.

@Popovich You are obviously my intellectual, moral, and social superior, I bow to you in deepest regret for having appeared in your field of vision.

And because they disagree they have carte blanche to make death threats? What kind of rational thought process leads to someone thinking: "Hmm, what should my response be to criticism of someone I respect? I know: "Fuck you, you cunt! If I ever find out where you live I'm gonna slit your...

In the past 10yrs I've heard a number of prominent US political figures, (I believe Ann Coulter was one of them), who have stated their belief that the USA is God's kingdom on Earth, and that US citizens are God's chosen people. I have even heard it proposed that somewhere in the US is the site...

Popovich,.....you seem to have found my previous post irksome, I really don't know why despite reading what you've just written. Did you feel I was criticising you? I wasn't, other than in the most flippant and "not-to-be-taken-seriously" way. As far as "latching onto previous...

You know,....when someone new shows up on your forum you don't have to remain in total ignorance about them, you can type their name into a google search and see what turns up. Sometimes this is a fruitless activity, but usually it delivers some kind of insight. I have googled Spongkulasisi's...

Another issue's occured to me. Would there be any problems with interstellar navigation, and would any such problems be worsened by travelling at relativistic speeds?
