Also I don't think somebody's obligated to have a public debate against everyone who challenges them. I'm fairly certain that he has participated in debates.

That's definite. And also, there are numerous reason to decline a debate. e.g. what if 50 conservative christians are constantly challenging you to debates? Dawkins also writes books and stuff, he doesn't have time to constantly run around debating.

I'd bet money that they cherry pick the few times Dawkins has been unable to attend a debate and highlight those as "he's chicken". They cherry pick every other bit of information, so why expect them to be above board about their mortal enemy, Dawklins?

Also debates are about charisma as much as they are about the information you give. It's better all around to just write down your arguments, make them as concise as possible, take time to refine them and read other people's arguments, and the audience can just read about it.

If I wanna listen to something for an hour so I can be swayed by it I probably don't care about knowing what is true, I care about becoming certain in the truth of something.

This makes me wonder if I should apply for a job as a DJ with the CIA, their taste in music is surprisingly old-school. Rot and assimilate!

Most of the time, I don't read the suggested articles. But I couldn't pass this one up.
Ice-T bested by the "deep nerd shit" of Dungeons and Dragons audiobook.

Motherfuckers talk like Yoda: ‘Outside I go, into the sun thereof, in, out…’ How do you read this shit?

The first comment chain is pure, amazing, awesome timing. It is the Internet punchline for the jokes in the article, like any good comment thread should be.

I decided to vacate my table in chemistry today. For some reason, some of the other kids came over and started talking about their pictures on their phones (can't remember why they started). Two got their phones out. One of them was a girl who had a ton of pictures of shirtless girls, and the other was a boy who (for some reason) had a picture of dildoes on his phone.

Wut.

In other shenanigans with various other kids, I came across two boys hiding behind a locker today. One of them was apparently selling something to the other. I'd presume it's cigarettes, due to one of them being a known smoker to me, as he threw his cigarettes and 'bachies' out of the window when the teacher had a mistake on their timetable and didn't show up.

And in another form time, two boys started licking each other for some reason. I didn't ask.

Do you happen to live in Mayview or something?

Watch out for the sunglasses teacher.

Why did Sega approve this? And why do they have bandages on their shoes?

I think someone saw a boxer wearing handwraps and decided it would be an amazing thing if they wrapped up all the characters.

It's pretty common to wrap your shoes (at least in football,) in tape to add ankle stability.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Do they do it on the outside of the shoes? They certainly don't wrap the outside of the boxing gloves

Yeah, it often goes on the outside of the shoe. They also wrap the wrists of gloves in tape, depending on the sport and glove.

I'm following so far. How about the wrappings on the upper arms of the red guy?

Robotnik been spiking knuck's food with steroids, apparently. Maybe speed, too. No clue what that's supposed to accomplish besides maybe infertility. Stealth echidna extinction attempt? Joke's on eggman there's more of them.

Or maybe Robotnik knows. Wonder what Julie-su looks like in this continuum. Lady don't need no guns she comes with two equipped _{flee for the green hills}

Nah, that's just for flair, I'll bet, unless he has problems keeping his biceps tied to his arms.

I'm telling you, it all makes sense as soon as you see they're all mummies.
