There's got to be a way to profit from that. Some kind of dead man's switch and blackmail scenario. I'd do that.

Ok, i'm happy to leave it. I would as a point of interest like to know a few things which you would classify as facts, but if you feel it would drag stuff out further then no biggie.

It's not a case of making my head spin - I understand the implications. It's a matter of usefulness. It makes the word fact a worthless term with no real-world application. Why not keep its everyday useage (even if most people don't fully understand it) and save phrases like "objectively true"...

That's what he's saying. Theories are accepted as fact. They may not be correct. If they are proved incorrect we will awknowledge this and the latest theory, if validated by further testing, will become accepted as fact. I don't see your problem here. Unless you have a way to establish if...

All scientific theories and laws are considered facts by this definition of fact. Taking any mroe stringent meaning of fact renders everythnig uncertain, even beyond science. It becomes impossible for me to know I have a keyboard to type this on.

Want a million bucks? http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge.html Surprised this hasn't been brought up before.

Definitely read the books first. I saw the fisrt series then got the books. Read them non-stop until I was up to date. The series is brilliant but the books are on another level.

It's been shelved temporarily, but not permanently scrapped. PIPA is still kicking about the place. Issues still need to be dealt with.

Why would the Escapist bother going down? Almost all its visitors know SOPA and PIPA are bad and it's not a big enough site to attract mainstream media attention. Wikipedia is probably the site which will cause the biggest shockwaves, unless Google joins in. It's all about causing disruption and...

Nobody frowns upon people asking for black coffee. I have never heard of anyone even blinking at that. Have you been told off for the phrasing before? I guess there must be some people that ridiculous, but I doubt there's many at all. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/600470.stm...

I never said they were American, i said they were popularised in their currnt forms by America. Which is true.

not asking for black coffees has never been a thing and the ba ba black sheep was a lie if i remember correctly. At best, it was 1 stupid person who said that and the entire country said they were stupid. If you're going to talk about us being too concerned with political correctness, actually...

I think Mexicans can get away with the inverse because they're surrounded by American culture. They're not giving a big "screw you" to American people, they're reminding themselves of their own culture. They're not setting out specifically to antagonise. And the whole damn world respects your...

I don't get why more people don't spot this. It's the first thing i thought. I'm not sure trying to stop them was the best response though, perhaps put them through the standard school punishment system (detention or whatever) without restricting their freedom of speech. Show you support...
