Lawyer says OJ was offered a plea bargain of 2-5 years, and counter-offered with 1 year.

Instead he wound up with a sentence that's radically...

Mischaracterizing conversations as usual. Some things never change ...

I found an irony in the backstory: The reason Brynden Tully fell out with his brother Hoster is that he refused an arranged political marriage. Yet he was the one emphatically telling Edmure Tully to...

No worries. I haven't seen a persuasive "Society should be the basis of morality" argument either. That said, when I argue for individual preferences as a basis for morality, those preferences both...

You oversimplify, of course, by lumping us all together. As I've laid out, "society" is not my standard, except for special cases such as "Running a red light is immoral, because it imposes the...

To the extent FamineGod's assertion is correct that the definition of "society" changes from case to case -- so what?

Theists like the idea that there's a single, neat, simply-described foundation...

Wasn't Eddie Haskell also rumored to be a porn star?

No -- it's a reference to claims that are greatly at odds with reported facts.

My conjecture is that the CIA was in charge in Benghazi, and if they really had thought there was going to be trouble, they could have taken steps about it in advance. I.e., State wasn't a roadblock...

Roman Gabriel and Jim Nabors were gay lovers.

Given that the whole narrative is an attempt to make a monumental scandal out of some debatably incorrect nuances, yes.

The Administration said "We don't know exactly what happened, but here are...

I wish you were kidding.

CYA is completely normal.

Have you actually read the David Brooks column, for example?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Midway is one of the most amazing battle-history articles I know of. Tons of failures on both sides, but the Americans had some crucial successes as well.

I was being sarcastic. Actually, I think that throughout this discussion you've been a great example of the dishonest discourse conservatives rely on.

The CIA is who was active and who was being attacked more than anything. (We think.)
The CIA tried to claim it had given warnings, which was taken back out of the talking points. (I presume rightly...

Math, however, may be the best example. The relevant difference between algebra & calculus is that calculus operates at a whole different level of abstraction. Some people find the abstractions in...

PF2003,

In the future, you might want to reconsider the use of analogies that only make sense to people who've studied calculus. ;)

I've tutored algebra and taught calculus. I presume you haven't, at least the latter.

Um -- you're wrong. ;)

If I'm right in recalling that PF2003 is an engineer, he probably also knows a lot...

Theory as to what the Administration was thinking.

Makes sense, but more in a "that's why they did the wrongful thing" way, not in the sense of "oh, that makes it OK".
...

So you're now admitting there was NOT an organized attempt to wrongly blame something on the video? Thanks for your honesty.

Evidence that it was mainly the CIA was covering its butt, which is not the same thing as saying it was Obama/Clinton/whoever the Republicans want to harm politically.

Circumstantial evidence in...

Yeah, but now that we know (or at least have strong evidence) that that narrative isn't true, what's the new theory?

I tried to keep it work-safe ...

How does your deafness play in movie theaters?

That's a Republican specialty right now.
