Yeah, well, paleontologists don't meet a lot of girls. . .

Kinda funny how all the people who deplored the left-wing riots ain't got a word to say about the Proud Boys vandalizing things and stabbing people.

Canada has "Canadian Rules Cricket." It's just like English cricket, only it's played with rocks and brooms instead of balls and bats. Oh, and it's on ice. And some of the scoring rules are different. They call it "curling."

I freakin' LOVE being shunned! Saves me so much time dealing with imbeciles.

Obviously, none of them had the full story. That ain't what history, archaeology, and anthropology are about. Responsible ones view the evidence as objectively as they can and devise theories and draw conclusions based on the evidence and sound logical principles. Then get told they're wrong...

How the hell did you get that from what I said? I said specifically that "most of what we know" about Native cultures before contact came from the work of White scholars. That's why I DON'T "Indunsplain," i.e., claim that if you're not Native, you can't possibly know about or understand Native...

I did. It was a joke. I live in Maryland, and I can vote for Trump, Jesus, or Hitler, and the Democratic candidate is going to carry Maryland.

Yep. In layman's terms. . . Braxton: This Court must disenfranchise four states because Texas! The Court, unanimously:

Yep. They all amount to a certain type of personality, without respect to race, sex, religion, whatever, that states that you cannot have useful input to something unless you are a member of a certain group. Many Vietnam veterans put down people's opinions about the Vietnam War with "You...

Two principles I think would lead to better democracy. . . 1. Resolve all issues at the lowest level possible. Speed limits? Local. Some environmental and resource-allocation issues? Provincial. Other environmental and resource-allocation issues? National. 2. Any official who...

Well, over 300,000 Americans have now died of something, and had it attributed to Covid. But we know they all died from something else, cuz Covid is a hoax to control us.

OK. I know you'll hate Biden for his and adore Trump for his. I never cared much one way or the other. Dodging the draft was the national pastime for college kids in the Nam era. I just thought it was funny because the Republicans were the ones who started the "draft dodger" smear with...

Sorry, I'll try not to respond to your actual words any more.

Um. . . yes, you did. Post #80.

True. And it was not imposed by the UN. The Geneva Conventions are also binding on their signatories, and they weren't imposed by the UN.

I suppose if you don't understand the difference between obtaining deferments and obtaining deferments by fraud, that makes sense.

Yep. Entry into the Paris Agreement had nothing to do with UN membership. A UN member country (or non-member country) could sign on or not sign on as it chose. There was one country, you may have heard, that signed on, then pulled out. Total effect on its UN membership? Zero.

No problem, then. Canada's turn'll come around in time.

What UN council is that? Surely you don't mean the Security Council. Its five permanent seats are held by the U.S., Russia, Britain, France, and China. You don't get a permanent seat without being a nuclear power. Is there some other council? Again, I don't understand your objection to the...

Thank you for providing an example of what I said.
