I'm pulling a concurrent conversation into a new thread. More sophisticated deceptive tropes than these, appear in the game of poker also. There are two types of deception in poker. One is when you figure that your hand is weaker, and one is when you figure that your hand is stronger. A basic...

I'm pulling an off-topic conversation into a new thread. That's because your line in the sand is that we each only have the right to be Davy Crockett. They still very much do. The NRA remains the standard bearer for gun safety. They also naturally have an interest in gun law. A cynical view...

What are some 'pro life tips' that you've learned? Share them here. I posted in 'Religion' because there's no limit to the scope of the 'pro life tip.' ('Pro' modifies 'life tips.' I don't mean anti-abortion by 'pro life tips.' That would be 'pro-life tips.' That's not what I mean.) The...
