   No, I'm not saying anything about "doubt". I'm saying if a nice friend (or a non-friend for that matter) takes your pencil and insists for the next year that he'll return to you despite never doing so, maybe there&#

   I care about privacy as much as anybody, but why make such a big outcry over such a minor infraction? An email address is one of the least private and most non-consequential pieces of information that could be retained about someone in this

    It seems to me they might be speaking past each other? 1. He's trying to figure out which video infringed on what work . 2. YouTube is refusing by saying they don't know which part of which video infringed on other work. Not su

    Debates on major topics during a campaign aren't really known for their scientific quality and attention to nuance, so I'm not really sure we should be upset if anyone's passed up on the opportunity to debate acceptable fuel
