You provided a specific example of a topic with existential importance. I responded to it. I do not think you can make an argument against gay marriage which treats all sexualities equally, by very definition. If you feel you have an argume

Yes, they did "technically" overthrow. The UK, alongside the US, overthrew a democratically elected government in Iran in 1953. This is not a point of contention, it's been openly stated by the CIA. I genuinely thought the G

I just ... don't care about the distinction. The entire subject is nauseating.

Okay, but you've now moved the goal posts from "mere dissent is harassment" to "people suggesting that I deserve fewer human rights than them is harassment" which, well, yeah. Arguments containing a premise that the

Yes, some people on the Blue side can be overly sensitive. No, I do not think that "a significantly noisy subset" of the Blue side finds a dissenting opinion to be harassment. Do you imagine these people responding to "I don

I'm not suggesting that match fixing(or point shaving or spot fixing) does not happen. There's a mountain of evidence to the contrary. I just don't think there will be a massive increase because Americans sites allow gamblin

The number of wickets taken is a stat. The raw data that informs it is the collective set of all balls bowled by a bowler. I'm not being needlessly pedantic, it's an important distinction when considering the level of analysis th

I would argue that almost all of that information in your post is stats not data. The type of data that people in this thread are talking about would be more in-line with detailed positional information about each of the players on a footba

It is likely used with live betting systems(common on many gambling sites) where you can bet on the outcome of a single game of tennis. The line for the game will move with each point to reflect the new situation. If a better is able to g

This ... doesn't make a lot of sense. American athletes that matchfix will not be using American gambling sites that work heavily in tandem with the FBI. It would be an extremely dumb cheater that only began to cheat because they coul

As someone who grew up in a working class environment in which mostly everyone had "flawed"(lol) fathers, I've found that there's a big distinction in the structure of the discipline. The parents for whom crossing a line

The solution is to not separate them. You're not arguing in good faith when you suggest that the two possible binary outcomes are (a) unrestricted immigration or (b) separating kids from their parents. Many of the illegal immigrants c

Take your pick of a prominent Irish or South African news website and go to the Sport section, they will almost always list the sport as "Soccer". The vast majority of takes on the Internet about the word soccer are lazy anti-Am

I find this to be a pretty obnoxious point of contention. Soccer is an English term invented in the 19th century. It spread to a number of Anglosphere countries in a similar manner to all sorts of words from 19th century England. It is cu
