If you don't reason about things, how can you know you are right?

Perhaps in this case that's enough because the infringement is so blatant. Generally, I'd like to see any IP violations pass through the proper channels for deciding who's legally in the right.

At the same time, the present implementation of Democracy doesn't give voters very many options. I am very divided on this.

I find this a strange point to make. Neither war crimes nor soldiers' misconduct falls within the boundaries of what we usually call "our justice system".

I chose my words poorly; I didn't mean "assume" in the interpretation of the joke, I meant the joke writer was presumptive in using gender roles like that.

Much like the internet at large is getting culturally enriched by trolls from flashback. Is it really necessary to bring a conversation about recycling down to this level?

I gather you're unhappy about the falling demand for a degree in teaching, but the whole argument you're describing is politicised and unsupported. The article suggests there's low demand for a degree in teaching; extending t

I like the joke, but to play the devil's advocate it's slightly sexist to assume the mathematician and the engineer are both male.

> That is jumping to conclusions and assumptions. Sure. I didn't arrive at this through reasoning, it's a contingency. I hope I didn't leave anything non-obvious out: * In most places, you have to afford the school and you

Equating these uses of "force" is an almost troll-like stretch.

Sweden collects high taxes even compared to other nations. When it comes to debt, the US is the outlier.

Are you reasoning under the assumption that this can't be the case?

That's a pleasant thought. I think it's more likely we the people want an ever present bogeyman, but that's almost depressing.

Everyone keeps saying this, but what's the option? Discourage exposing scammy behaviour whenever someone could theoretically profit from the attention?

Perhaps if it were a case of a targeted attack I'd agree Identity theft etc doesn't really scale as well as credit card fraud.

Apple apparently doesn't agree that, in context of the data they have on you, your name, mailing address or email address qualifies as sensitive.

The provided justification ("so the possible effects of prematurity did not skew the results") is written in a somewhat self-gratifying way I think; simplifying the experimental design was surely another factor taken into account.
