Much of it disparaging and frankly disgraceful. Do us all a favour. For clarity, how would you define sexual harassment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"if I am wrong, it would only take ONE!" Whoever actually said it, It is a very wise observation! Recently, 100 of the 'best Intelligence officials in the business' signed a letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop affair was likely a Russian misinformation operation. We'll see how that works out, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a baseline, he knows how harassment is defined, at least in the context of this thread, as I've posted twice the behaviours as described by the proposed addition to the 1986 Public Order Act, and he's replied to, quoted and whined about them (before the posts were hoovered up in the modding). Let's just summarise: Chekhov wants freedom to be a dick because ma freedoms and has no real concern about this issue other than feeling a griping 'intense annoyance' because of 'this exaggerated focus on women'.

A single experiment can prove me wrong” He was making a point about the nature of science and the importance of evidence in the pursuit of truth. More importantly he was also pointing out that the accumulation of evidence is a collective process, which requires rigour and scepticism. I don’t think that he had a view on Hunter Biden, but you seem to have spectacularly misunderstood the “quote” that you gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of d****s in this world, and they even congregate in numbers on social media, such as this one. You can never legislate the end of boorish, foolish, anti-social, bullying behavior, no matter how much you spend, or how many enforcers the government employs trying. Because it's basic human nature, sometimes fortified with one's substance of choice, peer pressure, or mob behavior There are more effective ways to encourage a civil, respectful society, and it begins early in life!

Cute dissemble, and nothing to do with my 100 scientists (or Intelligence Agents) point! On THAT matter Einstein is reported to have said: Nazi backlash and coming to America "Inevitably, Einstein’s fame and the great success of his theories created a backlash. The rising Nazi movement found a convenient target in relativity, branding it “Jewish physics” and sponsoring conferences and book burnings to denounce Einstein and his theories. The Nazis enlisted other physicists, including Nobel laureates Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark, to denounce Einstein. One Hundred Authors Against Einstein was published in 1931. When asked to comment on this denunciation of relativity by so many scientists, Einstein replied that to defeat relativity one did not need the word of 100 scientists, just one fact. Encyclopedia Britannica! NAZIS are like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference, of course, is that Einstein would accept that he was wrong should such data come to light. You are not Einstein, and in your case there are many fold that number who have proven your claims to be wrong, repeatedly! Talk about not seeing the wood for the tree's. Quote Recently, 100 of the 'best Intelligence officials in the business' signed a letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop affair was likely a Russian misinformation operation. 51 -> 100... something something.... accuracy.... and of course, you mean Trump Intelligence officials 46 minutes ago, trastrick said: You can never legislate the end of boorish, foolish, anti-social, bullying behavior, no matter how much you spend, or how many enforcers the government employs trying. Does that include slavishly and boorishly posting the same old same old, time after time... in threads that bear no relation to your post? Some irony, that you clearly failed to spot, from the most intellectually bereft and dishonest poster on the forum... ...just as well, or you'd be long gone! Anyway, it's not like anyone needs any legislation. Just a couple of carefully placed and obvious questions, and you run off with your tail between your legs anyway!

There certainly are! The only surprising thing I took away from your post is that you showed such acute self-awareness for a change. Baby steps. But well done you!
