kids these days. who can keep up with all the levels of irony.

mitch mcconnell is the fulcrum we are balanced on.

president biden is fighting for his political life, which for the time being, like it or not, is our political life.

biden fights on two...

have you oiled all the door hinges yet

fuggedaboudit, boatbum.

bobbys never could bring himself to admit that barack obama is a u.s. citizen by birthright.

the closest he ever came was to admit that obama is a citizen because his...

i had to give up asking bobbys to say "hawaii" because keith et al decided to (repetitively) pose impossibly difficult questions of our mentally and morally benighted roofer.

i, for one, don't...

perhaps. certainly for some.

but, how to explain all the white male liberals on, for instance, this forum.

i think we are, speaking of residues, residue of a time before white nationalism was...

in other words, the structure of a liberal democracy is just details.

because a liberal democracy is essentially an honor system.

our problem is, honor is dead.

oh, i don't know. what happens when the will of the people turns ugly? is it so crucial that their will be expressed?

yes, republicans are a minority nationwide...but not by much.

the extreme...

i think it is important, how we talk about things.

but, i am insulated from the paralyzing effect of too much controlling of expression, of too much concern for the minutia of injustice, of too...

jeez, they need to take it easy.

and yes, that was a different hearing. the benghazi hearing, with the horn rimmed goggles.

at this point, what difference does it make.

on a thread titled "biden's betrayal?" you are demanding that i prove my bona fides to defend the president's alleged attempt at dealmaking, by...

pamperin's betrayal?

meh. i've been critical of president biden. but, obviously not critical enough to satisfy those who thirst for catharsis.

it goes without saying that you and the guy who wrote this article know...

yes. this is effective. not a display of impotence. something that can actually be accomplished.

an act of civil disobedience; defying unjust law from a moral position.

decency is now political. if you favor decency you are woke.

horse trading with the wrangler of the (not really) loyal opposition.

i suspect biden is aware of his limited options.

i suppose it would have been better to do nothing than to risk having his...

the horses left the barn in 2016.

biden is trying to get horses back in, one at a time.

some would prefer to build a whole new barn around the horses. but they have no idea how to actually...

i am a guest in my own home!

naw, i kid. separate facilities are good. i just need to add a shower to the other bath, still trying to figure out where to steal the space from.

yes, as i alluded in post #8. you are disciplined and therefore coherent in your use of the term, and within your parameters i agree with your opposition to "woke" political philosophy. yes, it is...

did you see how bobbys used the term "woke", right here on this thread, osborne?

did you see george dot intimate in the o.p. that resistance to his offensive, speculative, faux-scientific bullfarb...

yes, i aspire to one day having a 3/4 bath of my very own.

that is a lovely sink treatment.

i intalled a 48" wide sink/vanity cabinet and when my wife moved her stuff in, there was no space for a disposable razor.

off to the half bath with me and my...

once every few months i turn the barn radio to the country station and give it a few hours to play all the latest.

hands? as in, plural?

that's anomalous.

george, get the calipers, we need a measurement!

you keep proving my point for me.

nature is a good deal more complex than that, professor dot.

we have settled that non-reproductive sex is adaptive for human beings.

in your mind, the only kind that could serve the...

go pull the other one.

there is no reason to use the word "woke" in this context. "the left" will do just fine.

the "woke left" is a pejorative, and an obvious prejudice.

that's exactly the point. human males can't tell. for a reason.

in other words, non-reproductive sex is....wait for it...adaptive for homo sapiens sapiens.

"woke" means whatever it means, in usage.

my understanding is that the term did generate rather spontaneously, where so much of modern english invention occurs, as african american street slang. ...

i am sympathetic.

and this is a problematic situation. how does feminism, after a century of struggle against patriarchal oppression, come to terms with males claiming womanhood. taking top...

there you go georgedot.

your intellectual bedfellow.

nah, fuggedaboudit

yeah, "biden caved".

is that a "disparaging tone" i hear.

like the build back better fight, eh? hit em where it hurts.

maybe he could publish an op-ed in the charleston gazette mail.

there is no try. only do.

biden has done fine "within the purview of the executive".

can you give me an example of a president trying and failing, martyring himself and the perception of his...

i like what stacey abrams had to say when asked what biden should do in response to the supreme court rulings:

"the president should do what is in the purview of the executive".

aoc wants biden...

she is eloquent, charismatic, wicked smart.

but she doesn't know, or doesn't accept, or most likely doesn't care, that the president can't force a senators vote.

she is calling for a replay of...

i understand now why this conversation is happening on the woodenboat forum.

it was a fascination for sea men all along.

not in my experience.

but insofar as you are right semantically, keith, it has nothing to do with proving genetics over culture.

you mean in the colloquial sense.

in the sense that we can all have a "hypothesis".

i appreciate that you have backed off from your certitude, keith. but george hasn't. why do you hate science,...

i do like how you've retreated from "innate disgust reaction" to "aversion". as if such were synonymous.

i am not disgusted watching a bull mount a cow. i'm not going to accidentally shtupp a cow....
