Why would you specifically target a relatively low number of people who have credit cards, when you can accept credit cards, debit cards, Gcash, Smart Money, Paypal, cash on delivery, payment via ATM or bank deposit or online transfer, or e

My God, this is completely ridiculous, but I'll try one more time. Do you or do you not believe everything should have a whimsical name? To save time: If your answer to this is "No, I do not believe everything should have a whim

Wow, it's extremely irritating to see this (parent) post downvoted by people who may not realize (till after downvoting) that what I replied to was edited - from denying what I said to admitting it, making my reply look redundant.

I agree that it's totally stupid to use online voting, that is just asking to be hijacked, and I almost believe that they should have to eat the result as a punishment. Almost. Hopefully it's a lesson for them not to ask The Inter

Did I say you said everything should have whimsical names? I asked if that is what you thought. Can't you tell the difference? So what's your presumably non-childish objection to other things being given "whimsical"

Is it just $300 million scientific research vessels that should be given deliberately stupid names (that even the originator disowns), or everything?

Or God Save The Queen to number "two" to mark Lizzy's Silver Jubilee. Mind you, that was also a decent song.

AFAIK there's nothing to stop someone creating a character called Boaty McBoatface that teaches 4 year olds why the ice caps are melting, without having its internet joke name attached to a real life $300 million scientific research ve

The point of the boat isn't to be a Budgie the Helicopter style cash machine, is it? It has a serious purpose. Why does it have to appeal to 4 year olds, who have zero understanding of or interest in what it does? Why does it require a

To be fair, that poster sounds like the kind of person who would also tell a clinically depressed person to just cheer up.

Great. Now explain how banning anonymous SIM cards causes genocide.

Let's hear it, then, what's the relationship between banning anonymous SIM cards and genocide.

This is not about collecting census data, is it? So, sticking to what it is about, if you think your invoking of the Nazis and the Holocaust was even remotely appropriate in this thread, explain how banning anonymous SIM cards aids a futu

What happened to Native Americans was "kind of a big deal" too. So was slavery. Should people therefore bring them up every time there's a completely unrelated discussion about the USA?
