Thank you. I didn't really go anywhere, just was mad busy. Too busy to keep up with you lot! ;)

But Seabright's thesis seems similar to one of mine: that when it comes to the principles of natural selection, men and women differ little. It's with the principles of sexual selection that the differences become manifest.

Interesting article: The origins of our gender roles Alison Booth sees how the relative bargaining power of men and women has evolved. http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2013/04/201341055912257103.html However, I'm a bit skeptical about these generalisations on the effects of different types ...

Richard Carrier, not Lousy, had the recent post I was thinking of: http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/3626 But it's not the source of the line I was thinking of, instead this: he doesnâ€™t understand the difference between defining feminism, on which there is no disagreement among feminis...

I think Pitchguest is an honest debater much of the time, but what he is saying at Avicenna's is fucking retarded. The fingering distinction, while not claiming that all sexual aggressions are equal in severity, is bullshit. For example, let's say a pervert is penetrating an infant with a finger, w...

TOTALLY OT BUT SUPER SERIOUS-- Does anyone here have any connection to Switzerland, or could any of our European Pitters help get me more info about this case?

I'm going to adapt this into an un-pc joke for my stand-up.

What do you call a Jew on a Palestinian bus?

Deceased.

Yes! You win!!

On the theme of segregated buses (with all the evocative Rosa Parks themes that throws up) what's the status of Israeli's on Palestinian buses?

Yeah, but you know what would be a really shitty way of getting at the oil. Fighting a war for it, holding an auction for the right to exploit the oil-fields, and allowing non-coalition companies to bid. People have fought wars for lesser things than oil. War stinks!. That's because humans can be p...

Shite! I appear to be not nerdy enough!!

I can't remember what Hitchens said about the people who were carrying the 'no war for oil' placards. There are many reasons for going to war. Many of which we won't be aware of. Many moral reasons. Many practical ones. Oil being one of them. The West depends on oil - developing worlds depend on oi...

DGS said (http://www.slymepit.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=75582#p75582): Humans go to war over resources. Oil is the resource by which we enjoy our quality of life and stability. I never understand when people don't think our quality of life, our civilization, isn't worth fighting for. But I'd hazard...

[youtube]XLKQGwVkczg[/youtube] I find this debate tricky. I'm still not sure which side I come down on (though as a person I infinitely prefer Hitchens to Galloway). Fortunately the question of whether it was right to go to war in Iraq is no longer a useful one to answer. Humans go to war over reso...

Anyone recently revisited Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan essay on the abortion debate. I've not read it in a while so can't rightly comment. Here it is (can't vouch for the website that's hosting it - but it is hosting it, which is a +)

I had actually had very interesting debates with both women and men over the topic.
