Nope. Us "merikans" actually spell it like a foot fetish.
Sounds crazy but the American Psychiatric Association started it and nobody's tried to correct it:
pe·do·phile /ˈpedəˌfīl, ˌpēdə-/ (Brit. pae·do·phile)
▸ noun
a person who is sexually attracted to children.
– DERIVATIVES
pe·do·phil·i·a /ˌpedəˈfilēə, ˌpēdə-/ noun
pe·do·phil·i·ac /-ˈfilēˌak/ adjective & noun.
– ORIGIN from Greek pais ‘child.’
Your listed spelling is "archaic".
Anyway there's a minority of GOP (Republican) lawmakers that are still at least trying to make things work:

Personally I think Ben's chances of even getting the bill read are nill minus.

There is no freedom from having your feelings hurt. In all but the most sick and extraordinary of instances the cure for having your jimmies rustled is to just toughen up and deal with it. The last thing we need to do is give the perpetually offended more weapons to use to make our lives miserable accommodating them.Observe wrote:

Name one person you know who is not perpetually offended. You certainly are clearly offended by many aspects of the liberal agenda as you see it. Just as your philosophy no doubt offends many of the more 'sensitive types'.Masterbagger wrote:There is no freedom from having your feelings hurt.

I think there does need to be some freedom from having your feelings hurt. We hear a lot about bullying in school these days. Some who have been the subject of bullying have had their 'jimmies rustled' to the point of suicide. Or, are such people just a bunch of pussies wasting air?

I wish you could understand that being offended has very little influence over me. It's why I don't respond favorably to your appeals to emotion or feelings. Were you so eager to appear virtuous that you ignored the part where I mentioned sick and extraordinary circumstances? I am as aware as you are that unstable people have been urged to suicide by sociopathic individuals. That is not the normal experience with childhood bullies. You just seized on it to fling emotional turds at me and phrased it as a specific avenue of attack for a general statement I made. I don't respect that approach.Observe wrote:Name one person you know who is not perpetually offended. You certainly are clearly offended by many aspects of the liberal agenda as you see it.

Define how, with examples, you're personally obligated to accommodate "them" (as you term it), who "they" are, what's the issue, why it is making you miserable, and why it is unreasonable for you to be accommodating?Masterbagger wrote:There is no freedom from having your feelings hurt.

Essentially, qualify your statement - otherwise massive hyperbole to further your opinion, or you should just "toughen up and deal with it", snowflake
In all seriousness, i don't understand why people take it to one extreme or the other. Rationalism seems non existent.

"The problem with gender is that it prescribes how we should be rather than recognizing how we are. Imagine how much happier we would be, how much freer to be our true individual selves, if we didn't have the weight of gender expectations." - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Rationalism needs competences of thinking, well stocked amounts of verified informations and ability to verify own or third-party attitudes or opinions. That's demanding. And complicated.

Participating at discussions or shitstorms or campaigns and going to the extremes is based on emotions. Facts are disturbing, veryfying/falsifying needs longer texts than a tweet. Emotions make groups, will result in slaps on the back, provoke reactions [...].
I am positively sure that the fall of public political discourse has been strongly influenced (not to say: caused) by commercial media . I am stating it as a person having worked more than two decades for and having run commercial radio stations.
Almost all categories of journalism have been 'emotionalized'. Within the last 20 years it has become accepted in public discussions that articles or broadcasts are simply 'falsified' only by the name of the publishing company, labeling them als 'liberal' or 'nationalist' or racist or communist (...).
As a result, nowadays, one person can state that all opinions and analysis not conforming to his owns are 'fake' - and such a blatant "ignorantism" has large support. Because there is no more need to think by yourself.
Same thing about Manafort from the BBC, so not behind a paywall.Tycow wrote:Manafort is co-operating with Mueller
They have absolutely no way of knowing this, as Robert Mueller does not leak that kind of information.A statement from the White House on Friday said the plea deal had "nothing to do with the president or his victorious 2016 presidential campaign".

Sarah Sanders sent tweet out though White House press office to get ahead of the story since DJT is busy today. Expect weekend tweet storm this weekend as per S.O.P.
In the meantime that "dirt" the Dems had on Kavenaugh that they forwarded to the FBI? It deals with what he did in HIGH SCHOOL!

congrats - you have just trivialised a very serious matter..
an obviously partisan liar is exposed, and you find it amusing..
- well done..
- why do you do this?
- it helps no-one..

- Kavanaugh is TOTALLY unsuitable to sit on the Supreme Court..

Since I don't watch YouTube, I wonder if you could explain why Kavanaugh is unsuitable? From what I've read (admittedly not much), his peers both liberal and conservative, consider him a good choice for a conservative on the bench.BugMeister wrote:- Kavanaugh is TOTALLY unsuitable to sit on the Supreme Court..

Just as we, in this thread, need to keep our powder dry (on both sides I hasten to add), so do elected officials.
