  1. Women Declare Themselves Corporations to Force Supreme Court to Grant Them Rights as People Millions of American women and girls have declared themselves corporations in order to force the United States Supreme Court to grant them rights as people, legal observers have reported. Attorneys across the nation indicated that they have been swamped by requests from clients seeking to incorporate as soon as possible. “The Supreme Court decided in 2010 that corporations are people, so all we want is to be treated like corporations, ” Carol Foyler, who now goes by the corporate name FoylerCo L.L.C., said. https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/women-declare-themselves-corporations-to-force-supreme-court-to-grant-them-rights-as-people
  2. The Russians give a new ugly twist to the saying "shop until you drop".
  3. Breaking News! Jan. 6 Panel Abruptly Sets Tuesday Hearing on ‘Recently Obtained Evidence’ The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol on Monday abruptly scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon to hear what the panel called “recently obtained evidence” and take witness testimony. The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m., according to a news release issued by the committee, in which it provided no other details about the surprise session. The panel has held a series of hearings this month laying out the findings of its nearly yearlong investigation, but it had not been scheduled to have any additional sessions this week. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/27/us/politics/jan-6-panel-abruptly-sets-tuesday-hearing-on-recently-obtained-evidence.html Any bets on whether this turns out to be good news or bad news for Trump? Hmmm....
  4. It seems to me that it's more associated with one's political bent. Mostly it comes from the right wingers.
  5. Lots of things that human do to themselves are unnatural. The thing is, one of the things that make human beings so formidable, is that they are extremely adaptable.
  6. Among the Russians, instead of saying the Devil made me do it, they blame NATO.
  7. Really? Here a link to a Telegraph article about Johnson's 36 point plunge among Tory voters dated Aug 1, 2021. Boris Johnson plunges by 36 points in poll of grassroots Tory ...
  8. Some people's common sense is difficult to differentiate from uncommon nonsense.
  9. Maybe you should let the Ukrainians decide whether the carnage is worth it or not. Not for you to decide whether or not the Ukrainians think Russia's plan for them as a people warrants continued resistance.
  10. You seem to have a predilection for extreme adjectives... So every moment you were wearing a mask was a moment of horror? What does "profoundly unnatural" even mean? As for not seeing faces, do you think people are masked 100% of the time? Even in their own homes? Stop generalizing your feelings into universal truths.
  11. It's odd how calm and serene Thais seem to be living in this nightmare world. Do you believe that they're screaming on the inside?
  12. You want to change the verb to "remind" or "points out" fine. But to characterize his post as "exposing Boris went to party a few years ago?" Really? That's like saying John Wilkes Booth is reviled because he went to the theater.
  13. Actually my argument. At least, given that I meant to direct it at Kwasaki but somehow managed to quote you instead. This is what it meant to be directed at:
  14. You know that phrase "All dressed up and no place to go?" Well if Putin can't buy the chips and high tech machinery to create missiles and sophisticated aircraft, will Putin even be able to ratchet up his campaign?
  15. And Mr. Smith's employer requires that Mr. Smith show up at work every day along with his body. Does requiring people to be at a certain place at a certain time violate their bodily autonomy?
  16. Your argurment is only valid of those partying people kept themselves locked up in #10 to avoid spreading contagion elsewhere. Is that what happened? Were they quarantined?
  17. How do we know Putin isn't gravely ill? What we do know is that despite the vast Russian superiority in materiel, they are making excruciatingly slow progress. And your remark about Ukraine and "chinks in their armor EVEN with 50 or $80B in western aid and armaments." is obviously ridiculous. Do I have to spell it out for you why that claim is ridiculous? And maybe you weren't paying attention when Ukraine forces pushed Russians back from their attack on Kharkiv and progressed all the way to the Russian border? And they have been pushing back Russian troops in the Kherson region.
  18. But your statement Russia will destroy Ukraine is a prediction. And given how previous predictions fared about how Russia was going to crush Ukraine, you might want to be a bit more circumspect in your outlook.
  19. Because the obligations are not directly targeting Mr. Smith's body. Nowhere in a child support decision is there any limitation specifically addressed as to what Mr. Smith can or can't do with his body or what can or can't be done to it. For all we know, Mr. Smith may be a trust fund baby and won't have to alter his way of living at all. Unless a govt decision directly targets what a person can or can't do with their body or what can or can't be done to it, it's not an issue of bodily autonomy.
  20. What don't you understand about the meaning of bodily autonomy? It has nothing to do with the ordinary stresses and strains of ordinary life whether at work or at play.
