In 1954 I was born in Nowheresville

#1 Post by themanintheseersuckersuit » Mon Dec 30, 2013 10:14 pm

and the word Nowheresville was born. No known connection. Find the word that shares the year of your birth.

I'm as old as the Big Bang.

Beat poetry. Technically, that's two words.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
