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

As one of those not-fit-to-be-a-member-of-the-movement libertarian atheists, I'll just leave this here . . .

Oh, for shit's sake. One quick search of "chill girl" on FfTB and I'm looking at Ophelia Benson's "Uglies v pretties" post where she uses the term twice (yes, they're in quotes...yet, she doesn't seem to imply *at all* that it's a phrase one shouldn't use). She even allows its usage by those commen...

The problem Ophie has is that she bans people because they use terms she dislikes. Justicar used "Twatson", not on B&W, but on another blog/forum and was not welcomed to post at B&W (for being a known woman hater). Ophie says she doesn't use "gender traitor" or "chill girl", but she allows it to be...

Justin, excellent podcast thanks. Glad you enjoyed...more to come! Next week is Justicar and the following will include Emery Emery and Heather Henderson. Michael Nugent has also agreed to come on for an episode. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to call in to speak directly to Michael N...

Anyway, I am kind of disapointed that the knife fight has apparently ended so soon. As someone noted there is no bottom to how low it could have gone. I'm not a fan of using knives for self-defense, primarily because a gun is easier to use effectively, but also because no matter how much training I...

For the record, I'm not going to stop bashing Americans here when they get all ethnocentric. It's a lonely job, but someone has to do it... On the other hand, please all keep in mind that most of my contributions are to be taken with a grain of salt, and as I mentionned earlier I have experienced t...

Lets all cry some more about gun legislation then. Because wah! I needs my guns. Or, you know, you could start discussing this topic using reason and evidence instead of emotion. I have two daughters and a wife, all of whom are under 5'3". There is a word for what they are to even average sized men...

While the Slymepit is standing by to be overrun by Brony trained Rhetorical Assassins and Intellectual Kung-fu Masters, please allow me to extend to any Social Justice Warriors lurking on recon missions my warmest greetings and most cordial invitation.

I want to be cool enough to disagree with you, but I can't manage it.

Yeah. I kind of have a hard time taking "tramp stamp = only good for one night stands" seriously. Given the numbers of women with them, I don't see how that actually works out. Just to be clear, this is what I consider to be a "tramp stamp" http://0.tqn.com/d/tattoo/1/G/V/B/julieback.jpg The issue ...

She is 35 and her body shows every sign of being seriously abused. Including a tattoo known as a "tramp stamp". Only 35 and this is what she has done to herself! She had a few kids and lost a ton of weight. As for the tramp stamp, is this remarkable to you? She'll never be a swimsuit model, but I g...

Ophelia once again proves unable to mount a simple argument without kicking the ball into her own tattered net.

I'm reminded of something Terry Pratchett wrote: No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well, technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders always found, after a few days, that they didn't own the own horses anymore, and with...

Sounds like the 'Pit should be prepared for an influx of Brony-trained "Rhetorical Assassins," though I'm unsure how this place would qualify as a place where "speech is being suppressed."

It's just me, or there is someone else here cheering for Becky to go against 4chan or Anonymous next? That would provide enough entertainment for months!
