Certainly a politician. You still evade the question, but that's all the time we have for now. We'll be back next Sunday, because if it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press.

You haven't answered the question. If a runaway slave showed up at your door, would you ask him to turn himself in? Would you suggest to him that he should go through the justice system, which he has good reason to perceive as being

Your stance seems to be that, since he committed the actions he's accused of, and since those actions happen to be illegal, that he therefore should end up in jail. Is that really your stance? It's not a very nuanced one. I&#x27

So we're agreed that we can throw (4) out right? You're wrong about Clojure being "full of magic." As to your example, you don't understand Clojure macros so you don't understand that simple Clojure macro. T

If Google were smart, they'd open-source Reader and let the people who love it maintain and run it (It's probably much too dependent on their architecture for this to actually be a viable option). So.. if they were smart they&#x

Why would you expect the US government, or ANY government to respect the right of privacy of citizens of other countries? Oh I don't know... morals? A simple sense of common decency? I know, it brings a chuckle to talk about such q

Did you not even read the first sentence on the wiki page you linked to? Here it is: In punctuation, a serial comma or series comma (also called Oxford comma and Harvard comma) is a comma placed immediately before the coordinating conjunc

says the non-native speaker who firmly believes that such mistakes are contagious In that case, you should know that the comma in your first sentence shouldn't be there. To understand why, consider this sentence with a similar form:

What is it you're looking for, exactly? Good grammar? Cheers to the OP for thinking outside the box, but I don't think this service helps me, nor would your technique. I yearn for good writing, but what I consider good writing

*...support the idea that a large proportion of STEM students become rather self-satisfied in their fields' relative importance, while more-or-less mocking the humanities as useless fluff. I've not observed the converse to be true

You seem to have a thin skin. The only of those phrases which is "insinuating" anything is the first. You've mentioned something about personal insults but have failed to point one out. Unless you're suggesting I shou

Such a category does indeed exist. It happens to intersect with the category of people who purposefully use words they think no one else uses.

Most artists are acute observers of the human condition. Seriously? Most artists? Do you mean "most famous artists", or "the most accomplished artists", or "the best artists", or something like that? Or do

Oh, and what was it that you consider a personal insult? I'm not seeing it.

And you don't get to close your eyes to the fact that things have changed. "Philistine" was synonymous with "ignorant of art and literature" only because every formal education was full or art and literature. Furt

The idea that people were more culturally aware, more intellectual, or less materialistic at any time in our past compared to now is naive. If you don't think there were economic or social/political ambitions in the hearts of the

Thanks for illuminating the conversation by demonstrating pedantry of the type so often heard from English majors. You've done so to cleverly illustrate part of the reason the major is on its way to irrelevance, no doubt.

Do you have any support for that claim? My experience in Chicago and Baltimore is that homeless shelters are packed. People do the daily 4:30 line-up to get a bunk, and those who don't get in find a place in the alley to try again to
