The same people who complain about the seat needing to be down, will bitch up a storm if you completely close the lid to prevent anything from falling into the toilet unintentionally.

"caution to add"? HASTEN to add.

Mostly fair comments there, Richard Dworkins, though I'd caution to add that there's still plenty of actual education that goes on at US colleges (even in the humanities!).

Dawkins just apologized for ElevatorGate: There should be no rivalry in victimhood, and Iâ€™m sorry I once said something similar to American women complaining of harassment, inviting them to contemplate the suffering of Muslim women by comparison. https://richarddawkins.net/2014/08/who-is-belittli...

And by the way, who regards Brian Dunning as a "hero"? Now, Ayaan Hirsi Ali? Sure, lots of people admire her, but of course in SJL Bizarro-World, admiring someone disliked by the SJL actually means worshiping them unconditionally and being unshakably convinced that they're infallible.

No.

Am I wrong, or do some Americans seem to be more outraged over the <1000 Palestinian civilian casualties at the hands of Israeli military than the >20,000 Iraqi civilian casualties at the hands of the US military?

If the term just means a lack of belief in gods, then the term DOES NOT "carry some obligations" beyond not believing in gods. Read it carefully: he does actually say that it's the term that "ought to also carry some obligations"â€”not the movement, not the "community," the fucking term.

The second reason why this works is because those chords are typically in a loop in pop/rock/folk/punk songs. They are played over and over and the harmony "works" that way that the last chord connects nicely with the first. For that reason you can also write a song starting with the 2nd Note (in t...
