My purposes are always higher than yours and I am always aware of it. Who was it that said…
Actually, I’ve been known to lie without having to say a single word.

Terminological inexactitude is a phrase introduced in 1906 by British politician Winston Churchill. It has been used as a euphemism for a lie in the House of Commons, as to accuse another member of lying would be considered unparliamentary.
In more recent times, the term was used by Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg to the Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn over an accusation that Rees-Mogg’s company had moved a hedge fund into the Eurozone despite his being in favour of Brexit
I think “terminological inexactitude” has a nice ring to it ad when used often causes the person to whom it is directed to pause in their shit dribbling to work out exactly what you mean.
I thank Winston Churchill for that and other great “bon mots”.
But then as lefty pinko neo commie with a PC vocabulary I don’t think my opinion will be worth much.
But I do get free Medical care, education, and an adequate pension. Crosses I have to bear in the defence of my blood red politics.

Yea, it sucks to live in a society that does not kick you to the curb at the slightest problem.
Lies? In politics? Why, the very idea!

So Sam Harris is at least honest enough to go on record that he’s prepared to use rhetoric as a political medium.
Though it’s hilarious to imply we needed Trump to admit this anyway.
Well actually there are many “dividing lines”, and it’s not a baby until it’s born, a quite common misconception among anti-choicers. Also the issue itself is not that complex, you either are happy to enslave women and take away their bodily autonomy, or you think it is immoral.
To the former there is only one question, is it ok to take one of your kidneys, and an eye against your will, to save the life of a fully sentient person?

Oh, here ya go. Even in my neck of the woods we have idiots and grumpy old reactionaries. Just so you don’t feel too alone Doug there are out of touch misogynists in Australia. . Perhaps you should write to this cafe owner? Or PM me I will take it around to him. I suspect he will be a bit hard to reach for a while…

Aussie Cafe Owner is Close!
I’m convinced that we need a special breeding program. What we need to do is cross a big breasted butterball turky with a woman. Okay, she will probably have turkey legs but she will have breasts and a little red butterball plunger on top of her head that pops up to warn us all to stay away when she is cooking.

Make the females wear a red sticker in public to indicate they are on their period?.. 
… That’s the stupides shit I have ever heard! What the hell is WRONG with that guy? Jeeeee-sus! MY question is, “Why are those unclean females allowed out in public in the first place?” Everybody knows they should be forced to stay locked away at home in a special room totally isolated from others. What good is that silly red sticker gonna do if they are still allowed to wander around in public contaminating everything? Geez… Some people are just plain dumb…
You also gotta consider that they is so dirty them stickers just aint gonna stick in the first place. On the plus side, them stickers would be a good rape prevention tool. If you was the rapist you be goin, "Nope. Red sticker. Nope. Red sticker. Nope.; Red sticker… No red sticker? Ha haaa… Hey, you want to see the puppy dogs… (Gesturing to the plain white pannel van.)

Hmmmmm, isn’t a chimp’s idea of hygiene to pick off and eat the parasites they’re infested with? Just saying 
.
I’m all for shipping that cafe owner off to someplace that doesn’t allow menstruating women out in public. I doubt it would be some place he’d really want to be.
It seems that many religions have restrictions on menstruating women with the exception of the Sikh’s. The more I learn about the Sikh’s the more I respect them. If people have to belong to a religion, why can’t they choose one not hateful to women? Is that asking too much?

For your information, Cog happens to be a VERY hygienic-minded individual. He always sterilizes his hands by peeing on them before picking off the parasites and eating them.
You ever seen a woman pick off her parasites and eat them. Hell No! Sheit, they doesn’t even clean their guts out with a good fart or burp. You ever seen a woman pee on her hands before eating a hamburger? Hell no! Not even before eating is they steryliozing them fingers that doen touched who knows what. They is nasty! Chimps is much cleaner fer the very reason of pickin out them parasites. I aint never seen no woman pick out on parasites, they only pick out shoes.

The difference is that Harris advocates dishonesty to keep the Republicans out of power. I advocate it to keep Nazis out of power.
Of course, some people are such stupid and ignorant spoiled-brat crybabies that they cannot tell the difference, and so in sense they are exonerated from whatever cheating they did and might do in elections. People who physically attack conservative speakers on campuses are themselves already possessed of Nazi mentality, which justifies violence against opponents.
But Sam Harris is an intelligent man. So he’s not off the hook.
However, let me ask you: if you were counting the ballots in the 1934 referendum – the one that sealed Hitler’s hold on power – and you could cheat and make him lose that referendum … would you do so?
Please quote just one example of this. The problem is, you are either a liar, or a gullible dunce who accepts lies.
But go ahead … quote an example.
My wife’s grandaughter, now 21 and a delightful individual, was born six weeks prematurely. You would have been happy to cut her into pieces at that point.
Do you have garlic salt?
