Nice. Loved the pacing of the story. Good work.
December 26, 2021 at 18:11
Haha, not bad. Enjoyed it.
December 26, 2021 at 18:01
Huh. I suppose it could be considered then, as an ethical position... Man ethics is confusing.
December 26, 2021 at 00:48
Hey hey, look at who's learning :cool:
December 26, 2021 at 00:35
Well in all of these examples it is in relation to someone/something else, so you would have some sort of ethical position to not perform/perform thes...

Hey, surprisingly sweet. I liked your metaphor: riding a wave of enthusiasm, can really picture it. The dialogue as well was a success.
December 25, 2021 at 23:05
Oh snap. Thats really interesting. Formatting and the pace of the plot was nice; well done.
December 25, 2021 at 22:55
This made me feel warm and fuzzy. In an innocent, feel-good type of way. Nicely done.
December 25, 2021 at 22:46
Neat plot. Urine does definitely make for an excellent counterattack.
December 25, 2021 at 22:40
:up:
December 25, 2021 at 22:32
what about a week and a half? I don't know for everyone else but for me it'll probably take a while to choose which ones my favourite.
December 25, 2021 at 22:29
Loved it. Really funny, dialogue as well was really well done. Good work.
December 25, 2021 at 22:24
I guess not.
December 25, 2021 at 22:10
That would be neat. I would probably start with exploring memory; can't get anymore time-travellely than that.
December 25, 2021 at 22:03
I see your point, but I don't know...It seems a little too complex for me to apply practically. Personally I just think people should be nice to thems...
December 25, 2021 at 21:58
Haha, My bad. I'll remember next time :nerd: Well, I can already see the fruits of your labor Mr. Atheist. That's super nice. Thank you.
December 25, 2021 at 21:56
Because I like being happy. Is everything all right?
December 25, 2021 at 21:45
A disclaimer?! What have they done to you my poor man.
December 25, 2021 at 21:38
Because a happy/fulfilled life is the wish of all human beings. That is the point of ethics. I think we can agree on that.

Banno, The choice to not exercise is not exempt from morality... People do, and should, at times, be morally obligated to their well-being. It is not ...
December 25, 2021 at 21:30
Sometimes you have to base your ethical behaviour relative to another, other times you have to be your own moral agent. For example, how could you car...
December 25, 2021 at 21:17
I agree with you that ethic concerns ought. My argument concerns your point of differentiating preference from ought. While yes in certain circumstanc...
December 25, 2021 at 21:02
Wow. Great job. The way you described the intensity of emotion in the human was really good; I sort of felt I could sympathize. Have a suspicion its l...
December 25, 2021 at 20:41
If only. However, In my belief it's rarely so simple.
December 25, 2021 at 20:29
Brings a tear to my eye. Sensational.
December 25, 2021 at 20:28
But how can one know the interests of an animal?
December 25, 2021 at 20:16
I would believe this to be false. if you were alone with an animal, your point of reference to treat the animal morally would be yourself; hence makin...
December 25, 2021 at 20:01
I guess I'm more or less here to admire. Perhaps. This raises an interesting question; if an object cannot/does not attempt to conform to the universa...

Nooo! The surprise is for after you damned fool. (forgive me; it's Christmas and I am a tad tipsy.)
December 25, 2021 at 03:18
Done and done. (done deal.)
December 25, 2021 at 03:14
I enjoyed it, but can't exactly fathom why she would freak out. I'd love to have a lizard companion.
December 25, 2021 at 03:12
Nice. Well executed. I liked it.
December 25, 2021 at 01:27
Nice story. I wish I had a hitler head that I could sell for 10,000 dollars.
December 25, 2021 at 00:40
I suppose in the viewpoint that a body contains two parts: its physical self and its mind, the mind is more or less regarded as something ethereal, un...
December 24, 2021 at 19:51
Yes, but there is no context in which 1+1=2 is false. It is true in every context. Therefore, The independent fact and the mode of expression are the ...
December 24, 2021 at 19:05
Because 1+1=2 exists, regardless on whether I have said it exists or not. For example, I could find 1+1=2 in nature by taking two sticks and putting t...
December 24, 2021 at 18:01
I found it contradictory because if one views "it's raining" separate from its factual counterpart, and solely as a mode of expression, it is reliant ...

Thats not what I meant by flawed, and I think you know that. I'm not sure I follow. Nevertheless, this discussion just missed the mark for me. I apolo...
December 24, 2021 at 00:53
I'm unconvinced. Where is the pursuit of truth? Where is my philosophical growth? What courage does it take to fester in these sorts of grand generali...

I would have to say that I was not aware of this ancient economy. Could you elaborate?
December 24, 2021 at 00:10
Not that old. Fairly young, perhaps incredibly young by some standards.
December 23, 2021 at 23:52
Not yet! The application of reason takes effort-a will, or a want to overcome. Mediocrity however is already innately a part of my character. Why woul...

Stop giving him ideas you nincompoop.
December 23, 2021 at 23:26
Ok, I'm just going to gather my courage and say it: This discussion is stupid. It's rude, untenable, and quite frankly uninteresting. Moral character ...
December 23, 2021 at 23:01
There are also christians out there who believe similarly I would think.
December 23, 2021 at 22:50
So it would seem.
December 23, 2021 at 22:09
Holy smokes man. Please.
December 23, 2021 at 21:44
This answer can also be related to @emancipate. I do agree with the both of you, but I still think it wouldn't be fair to call it unjust. Who knows? M...
