It's so noticeable the way you guys always use the passive voice: "seen as less practical", "preferable for aethetics", "pressured to be strong". You never actually elucidate who is supposed to be doing

Hector had no problem spreading salacious rumours about Richard Stallman a couple of years back. He loudly supported a hateful and slanderous campaign that resulted in RMS having to step down from the FSF. Now he comes along and for whateve

Well yes, I had a problem with that stuff. However, I think a return to gender roles would do us good. Having two parents be forced into the work place, leaving the kids to be raised by strangers in day care is not really the "liberati

"Subservient" is your word, not mine - a way of poisoning the well by reframing loving service with envy and resentment.

Marriage is service. Being happy to serve your wife/husbands needs - and indeed the needs of your children is a necessary foundation for a happy home. What's the alternative? Endless self-gratification? Why bother getting marrie

Modernity's attitudes to men, women and marriage is so broken, that having unpopular views on these things is a good thing. It is your only hope of a happy and harmonious life. Feminism has made most women unfit for marriage. The very

We have traded away everything that once made Britain a unique and wonderful place all in a desperate bid to make the line go up. The line is as high as it has ever been and yet the future of the British people has never looked more bleak.

Oh no - what if the line doesn't go up? The line. It has to go up. It has to. We'll do anything - any-thing. Please. Oh please. Just let the line go up!

None of this about money, though is it. It's about control. The ones who are most upset about this have an ideology that is a house of cards that has to be shielded from all interrogation, mocking and critique, lest it implode under th

Sure you can easily upsample in playback. And the studio can master the recording from a high sample rate recording using an enormous FIR filter, because latency and computing power are mostly irrelevant. High sample rate equipment just all

The problem is that you have to implement an anti-aliasing filter that goes from 0dB at 20kHz to -96dB at 22kHz. This isn't a very practical filter to build, and will typically add all kinds of ripple to the top end. The reason for 96k

How can you possibly be this naive? In reality it's always Michel's Iron law of Oligarchy. It doesn't matter what political system you think you have. In the end what you have is always an oligarchy.

Don't be patronising. Black people are not stupid - I should know because my wife is one. If a black person says they disagree with the statement "it's OK to be white", you can believe they know what they're saying.

It doesn't matter the context. Is it ok, or isn't it? The correct response is "yes of course it is ok to be any race. Why wouldn't it be?". It's quite reasonable to be cautious around anyone who equivocates on
