You're awesome, don't let the man get you down.

Is it acceptable to use this in OT? I've seen a distinctive rise in people calling other peoples' arguments "BS" or "crap" or the like, which seems to require no further argument, as it's fairly tautological in itself.

So, Ask away. Here are my credentials: -Battlefield Vietnam veteran, 2005-2008 -Bad Company 2 Vietnam, 2011 (served as Master sergeant) -Watched Full Metal Jacket like 3 times -Watched ApocalypseNow redux stoned once. -Saw various bits and pieces of Platoon

What the hell is the deal with this? It's a cartoon targeted at prepubescent girls, based on a child's toy, again for prepubescent girls, and there are adults who unashamedly watch this? Am I the only one who finds this at best moronic, and at worst completely and horifically creepy? What's...

Once again, it's that time of the year. Rules: -CFCers grow facial hair for a period of one month (or less if all entrants already have significant facial hair) -After that month, photos of progress are required -CFCers will then vote on a unique "shaving style" (i.e moustache/beard/chops...

This stems from the "Soviet Union" thread, and is aimed pretty much exclusively, I guess, to: -Dual nationals -Emigrants/Ex-Pats -People whose parents were born in a different state -People born/whose parents were born in the same geographical area, but whose boundaries have changed...

Would there be any interest in resurrecting the concept of a model parliament, either on or off CFC?

So, the fiftychat guys were just trading links of awful youtube cover songs, and thought we'd get more input rules: -amateur covers only -no "clever" snarky posting of American Pie by Jonas Brothers etc (that means you random). Winner gets something indeterminate. Oij02bEIuNg X1pniHxu9Ug

Anyone see this live? It was funny enough the first time, but the BBC played replays over and over again, I counted at least 20 repeats of the footage during the 15 minute recess, not including the slow-mo ones. I think the BBC's really stretching its whole impartiality thing, but on this...

There's this weird disparity betwen what's considered piracy on this site... giving links to downloadable material is a bannable offence, as is asking for it yet this site seems to relish the fact that pirated music and films can easily be linked through Youtube, and in fact, the...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14068496 So, fairly unsurprising for anyone who remembers the last Conservative administration in Britain. The real question now is, can there be any moral argument against the welfare state?

Not quite ;) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14070733 "This Sunday's issue of the News of the World will be the last edition of the paper, News International chairman James Murdoch has said. In the past few days, claims have been made that the paper authorised hacking into the mobile phones...

Can we, you know actually be allowed to talk about a legal UK political party which is on our electoral list and which is legitimate under British law?

I would've started this earlier, but I thought it unfair before I was qualified. Two days ago, I passed my Forensics degree, and I thought it would be a good chance for people to ask and learn about this misunderstood field. My background: I have just completed a 2:1 degree in Forensic...

I've conversed with a number of mods about this (mostly El Mac), and nothing has been done. Can we make intellectual dishonesty reprotable and infractable? There are a number of members who: a)deliberately misinterpret b)pick and choose c)use their own definitions d)move the...

Which of these would you consider the most exemplifying of existentialism and nihilism? Why? IS it "true" nihilism and existentialism?
