• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Get off my lawn!

    I don't see the point in being rude to anyone.

    There? You gotta be kidding me

    Occasionally, I find things in the last place that I look.

    Obamacare

    There is a lot of ignorance here as to what taxes are actually for.

    Obamacare

    I'm no lawyer, but depending on your income, there are subsidies to help you pay for the coverage. In addition, if the insurance would cost too much for you in proportion to your income, you can be exempted from the annual fine. Out of curiosity, why don't you want insurance?

    The "Fwee" Thread

    Technically, a haiku is 5 morae / 7 morae / 5 morae, which is a phonological unit that English doesn't really use. So one could go so far as to say that an English haiku isn't really a haiku at all. I don't know shit about morae, but I'm going to pretend I do and say that VM's haiku wasn't a...

    Duck Dynasty patriarch suspended after saying remarks against homosexuality

    Yeah ... I just wanted an excuse to pull that one out ... ... speaking of pulling out, do you think homophobia will last much longer in popular American culture? Seems to me that (everywhere except Fox News and garbage like Family Guy) there is more positive representation of gays in media...

    Duck Dynasty patriarch suspended after saying remarks against homosexuality

    This is more or less what differentiates free speech from hate speech. I'm sure there's more of a legal nuance, but ... Well, it doesn't really surprise me, since this is basically the core of social conservatism. "It's good for me, and it was good for my father, and it was good for his...

    We're not exactly happy about it. Well, except for the gun-lovers, I guess.

    Duck Dynasty patriarch suspended after saying remarks against homosexuality

    Is there even a discussion to be had here? The man uses a 4000 year old cultic prohibition - the intents of which aren't even clear, since it's nested between a prohibition against women committing bestiality and a prohibition against worshiping the gods of a neighboring nation - to justify...

    Three things you need to know...

    - I'm an idealist - However, I fight pessimism daily (I suffer from depression) - Treat everyone like the dignified human they are, and you can consider yourself my friend

    Despite some scares and downers, I would say that I had a good day. I hope everyone did similarly well.

    Spent an hour talking with the rabbi about various things and I have now begun the path to conversion. So, that's cool. I still have a lot of concerns but it's a step forward. Tried scotch for the first time. It's pretty good. I bought a blender, and made a smoothie. Yum.

    Drinking Age

    man I probably would have literally died. While we're talking about habits/preferences: I mostly drink (craft) beer and whiskey. Rum sometimes. I really don't like anything else, though I imagine that is likely to change. Since I drink whiskey like, 70% of the time I drink, I'm pretty scared...

    What are you reading? II

    Finished Good Omens, don't think there's anything to say about that. Right now I'm reading The Science Delusion: Asking the Big Questions in a Culture of Easy Answers by Curtis White. I'm ... on the fence, really. It's essentially an assault on writers like Dawkins and Hitchens, as well as...

    Drinking Age

    Sorry, I think I may have given you the wrong idea. What I rather wish is that it didn't exist at all. Then there would be no potential for abuse. I am, of course, with you in thinking that banning drugs is ineffective, at best.

    Drinking Age

    I'd rather it be banned entirely, but since that won't happen, I think 18 might be better.

    The "Fwee" Thread

    I started school today. I don't have to buy a textbook for one of my courses, which is of course excellent. I didn't get loads of homework on the first day, either. I have a meeting planned with my rabbi to talk about some things I've been wondering about, so that is good. Hopefully I don't make...
