I like that. Very often a dissonant twinge can reveal a hidden premise or some other logical (or otherwise) fault or omission if we're paying proper a...
Hey thanks! It could do with a little more exemplification here and there, but I feel like it was an afternoon well-spent anyhow. It was either that o...
Give a shot at clarifying it. If that doesn't work, ignore them because no matter how much of a failure these people are at argumentation, they are li...
This isn't very responsive to my post. I'm not calling for outrage, for example, I'm calling for awareness, preciseness, and diligence in the use of w...
(I might add that I'm very sympathetic to the rule of thumb of considering race realists racists, they almost always are, but collapsing the precise d...
:up: It's not really that simple. When it comes to politically loaded terms, definitions can have important consequences. If you dilute the definition...
Check out all this attention. @"Banno" eat your heart out. :wink: Actually, I've started a blog on various aspects of writing on my site, including ho...
Another candidate for world's biggest arsehole. And, surprisingly, it's not Piers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iJ5uqdpEm0 This is why people hate...
You're completely wrong on this point and @"creativesoul" is right. Separate definitions are separated by numbers in dictionaries and such, or if not,...
So, the proposal is Banno celeb pizza for the front page. I suppose if you put a bit more effort in to the OP, I wouldn't object. PM me your best shot...
Sure, but didn't know you wanted the full celebrity treatment luvvie. Lol. Look at my questions above. There's no law against using Banno's ideas and ...
Look at the various definitions: This one: "2. One who believes that the human species is divided into observable races." is pretty much exactly: I'm ...
Oh, they're predominantly academic style guides for my editing work (Chicago, MLA, APA, Turabian etc). They're very fine grained and differ on minutia...
Yeah, hence the comment. If I thought you spent all your time on the forums, I wouldn't have said that, would I? The only question in that is what rac...
Look, if you don't like the decision, appeal it. I have a feeling though I'm actually one of the more indulgent of you among the mods. I reckon you're...
You made at least 4 discussions in the past 24 hours. Stop making discussions for a while and when you do, please fulfil the elements of a decent OP a...
A few questions: 1) Did you ask Banno if you could analyze his ideas on the front page? 2) What of substance did you contribute to your own OP? 3) Wha...
Hehe, I doubt Tiff will join you in that sentiment on this occasion. Not to worry though, I'll make a Marxist of her yet. Might take a huge pizza brib...
Presuming no major third-party runs, Trump will lose 46 to 49 against any Dem short of Biden or Bernie (who'd both break 50). The electoral college wo...
Stupid working-class dummies burned themselves to death. I would never do such a thing. What? Did I say something wrong? Surely, Mogg must be a sleepe...
The word "racial" is neutral. It just means pertaining to race. There are good and bad ways to address issues concerning race. So, it means nothing to...
@"frank" Who knows when HH will show up. So, might as well give you my own definition I held back earlier. Doubt it differs much from the standard. Sy...
Why is so much rambling theological verbiage given space on 'The Philosophy Forum'? Because @"Hanover" was chewing on Doritos and watching MMA when he...
I'll post my own definition afterwards, but I don't want to be accused of prejudicing any replies. I want Harry to look it up himself from a neutral s...
Do you realize that I asked a simpler question above in order to begin the process of clarification? Do you realize that above you answered that simpl...
This has nothing to do with natural selection. We're presuming the existence of humans of both sexes. So, I'll try again. To start off: Society, at wh...
