Joined to talk freely about philosophy, without having to refrain from being critical of common ideologies.
Flyball with dogs, trying new restaurants with others, stumbling across one of the many local public concerts or jazz groups.
I probably shouldn't mention that I'm an atheist, as that always seems to get a bad reaction from my coworkers. Yeah, no way I'm telling.
"Raised in an apatheist family. Idly investigated weird words like "Christian" or "Bible" up through high school. In college, spent time with friends in Bible study and religion-based events as an outside observer. Those seemed social, not reasonable."

"I don't want my statement about xenophobia to cause offense. What I mean is that advocates of English-only often take xenophobic stances, often without realizing that what they're proposing is effectively racially discriminatory...."
"On a scale of 1-10, I meant to imply that English-only (or official English) advocates act xenophobic, whether they realize it or not...."
Are you an "outie" or an "innie"?
"I think both these statements are succinct and insightful. I'm In-N-Out, too."
"This is being called a ‘holy war’?" (So what if it was?)
"Joe Stutler:I agree with Harris & Hitchens that people, not their beliefs, deserve respect...."
Why do so many terrorists have engineering degrees?
"I'm going to agree with Dave and disagree with kmortis, here. That is, I'd say engineers are not scientists just because of the "S" in the BS or MS degree they hold...."
Why do so many terrorists have engineering degrees?
"I think Kelli's point is a good one. And purely anecdotally, I and a few friends I've polled have noticed that there are quite a few engineer creationists...."
"There's another type of anarchy? :D I get the impression we discussed this, once. I may have noted that Michael Shermer, whose approach I mostly agree with, is another 'soft' libertarian."
"I empathize, Joy. Your experience hits close to home. I'm sorry you've had to go through turning the page on what was a fun friendship...."
