Apply it to what you think it can be applied to.

I'm just objecting to the use of progressivism as if it's a great thing.

Even Chuck e' Cheese could use a little reforming after they ruined themselves.

Ultimately, progressivism is a change in the way things are. I can't say much else because I have to get to bed.

So, due to poor communication I was not aware that I missed the deadline to complete the form to request to stay in the resident hall during the fall break (they're closed to students unless they apply to stay in advance).

Luckily, I have figured out accommodations for the fall break. Will be staying at my friend's house in Virginia for those four days. He's bringing three of us along. What happens when a German, a Nigerian, and an American walk into a Virginian's home? Stay tuned to find out on Wednesday!

I managed to not come home with a ball python, a sun conure and a seriously cute bearded dragon today. Who wants to pat me on the back?

If the hammer slowed my body hair growth? I'd consider that as worth the pain. However, I'm thinking about waiting so I can store my sperm away as to produce offspring via in-vitro.

Considering I already have three dogs, two cats, two rats and two sudan plated lizards, I would say I did absolutely the right thing. :p

Now that just seems borderline crazy.

I didn't even say to take that as a literal argument yet you disregarded it.

Yes... we got them at the same time. A male and a female. You probably didn't see them when you visited because they were in my son's room at the time.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
