Turning statements into questions is, like, annoying?
So, actually, murdering people is, like, wrong, yeah?
I think therefore I might?
God can prevent evil but chooses not to?
God cannot prevent evil?
God is dead?
The repugnant are desirable?
There are two genders? They are the two gentlemen of Verona?
Beethoven silences YouTube?
Women adapt?
We must learn to acknowledge our own prejudices?
Being able to discriminate is the litmus test of intelligence?
A cat is not a dog?
Art is for art’s sake?
Being rich means you don’t have to die?
Morals are for the little people?
Nurture Trumps Nature?
Private property is theft?
Necessity is the monster of invention?
Every cloud has a silver bullet?
Democracy enfranchises the mob?
A stone in a pool breeds many Satans still?
A rose by any other name will smell like rotten teeth?
A joke is the hole through which reality whistles?
One life, one encounter?
Thinking makes it so?
Hot Rats?
