No. It's all about the law. You're made to watch them to inform you what's protected under the law. It doesn't change the dynamics within an organizat...

Those are two different mindsets. I think your prospective date meant someone with ambition -- they have a plan and they're going to follow through wi...

I'm trying to explain to Hanover that if that's the main reason for firing, then he's not ready to be a fire-boss. :cool:
August 28, 2022 at 17:32
Yes. I meant to say, if it didn't come through in my previous post, is that if your first instinct is to fire the dude for lying, then you're not read...
August 28, 2022 at 17:30
@"Hanover" also, if your first reaction is to fire, then you're not ready to be a boss. Because no matter how you look at the fuck-up, every employee'...

Do not fire his ass because of a cover up or lying. Fire his ass because he was tampering with the electronic file management system. This is a graver...

All of the above. :up: I'm not surprised. Take care.
August 26, 2022 at 05:44
Hahaha!

If anyone is not getting the weakness of this thread, here it is: If her behavior is normal, then let the video speak for itself. Why are you defendin...
August 23, 2022 at 02:38
And my response is, if Benkei believes her behavior is normal, then why is there a need to bring in Trump, the gambler, the alcoholic, and the drug ad...
August 23, 2022 at 02:31
You lost your mojo here. And I'm gonna tell you again: This thread launched a support against the scrutiny of her behavior using counterexamples of me...
August 23, 2022 at 02:08
Again, you guys are saying "dancing and singing". This is not just dancing and singing like a party with respectable decorum. This is a racy video. So...
August 23, 2022 at 01:56
Then you've gone the wrong path in this thread. Bowing out. Thanks.
August 23, 2022 at 01:40
Thumbs up for @"javi2541997" for having more maturity than the PM. I support the idea that statesmen and leaders shouldn't behave like how she behaved...
August 23, 2022 at 01:38
It's not platonic realism. The platonic view has a very specific definition of "truth", which as you have already mentioned, is a form. Virtue ethics ...
August 22, 2022 at 05:01
Your point?
August 22, 2022 at 04:17
We can say it's objective because "goodness" is something that can be achieved, according to virtue ethics. And we can say it's platonistic because Pl...
August 22, 2022 at 04:16
Which view? I gave two examples.
August 22, 2022 at 00:12
No, this is an erroneous view of mechanistic worldview. The scientific community does not approve of this view. It's a view of a handful of philosophe...
August 21, 2022 at 23:39
The odds are categorized as "impossible" due to the infinitesimally small chance.
August 21, 2022 at 23:19
This is what I'm trying to say. When philosophy asks "What exists" or "What's real", that encompasses all that could be asked of philosophy. In Ethics...
August 21, 2022 at 21:17
It's really simple. The archaic mantra "love of wisdom", when defining philosophy, should receive a more rigorous scrutiny. Philosophy is positing wha...

It's hard to catch everything in the shoutbox. If I don't check it in a day, two pages have gone by. Then I only see the latest. But back at ya -- you...

So much different than Hanover's day. Certainly not like the honey badger that he is. What a pleasure to read. The honey badger sounds like they make ...
August 19, 2022 at 02:32
No. Does it resemble Hanover's persona?
August 19, 2022 at 02:20
:up: I always like it when metaphysicians put things in the perspective of science because they could get outside of it and critique. Scientists must ...
August 19, 2022 at 02:20
What are you saying here? We shouldn't have any opinions about anything scientific?
August 14, 2022 at 21:39
Why does Hanover seem to be in everybody's to-do list? That shouting match between Hanover and T Clark started a long time ago when Hanover substitute...
August 14, 2022 at 21:22
Thanks for the input. Were you sick or something for a while? You haven't been here lately.

This does not sound like MAYAEL. I've interacted with him a few times. So, I'm not sure why he would write something like this. Maybe he was drunk whe...

I don't mind a detention period. @"ArguingWAristotleTiff" I hope you're doing fine. Don't cry.
August 12, 2022 at 01:35
There are user agreements drafted by forum owners. Think of an operating agreement. There does not have to be a mark, but just a written agreement. Wh...

But don't have their own superpowers.
August 11, 2022 at 02:14
This is the arctic and its wildlife. The photography is quite stunning. This is another demonstration of animal superpowers. The arctic wolves grow th...

I don't do facebook either. Jamal should not have allowed it, in my opinion.
August 11, 2022 at 01:52
Coincidentally, I had planned today on visiting the grave of someone who bailed out too soon. But, I had to do something else, so next week maybe.
August 07, 2022 at 22:02
There's always a way out. And I'm sure we don't mean death, which defeats the point.
August 07, 2022 at 22:00
I don't see how what you just said rejects what I said. Care to explain? Well, you're helping my argument, not hurting it. We are humans after all. So...
August 07, 2022 at 21:20
Death is boring! I have no suggestions if one finds life undesirable. Imagination is good, but living at the moment requires courage. That's it. Coura...

The person making the request could say they suffer from asthma or some sort of respiratory illness and couldn't be around smoking. I'm not sure why t...

I apologize in advance to the families of polar bears. They will adapt, I'm sure.
August 02, 2022 at 01:05
I'm not gonna ask for source on this. I'm not concerned about sources. I'm more concerned about the logic of what you're saying. If icebergs are break...

:up:
August 01, 2022 at 04:42
No. It has nothing to do with the use of bread. You wouldn't order "I'd like two salamis, please" and get two sandwiches. But you could order two hotd...
August 01, 2022 at 03:39
They're not sandwiches. In fact, a hotdog inside a bun is similar to falafel inside a pita bread. They're called by their names in isolation of the br...
August 01, 2022 at 02:54
Icebergs. That's why. Icebergs breaking away and migrating farther to other oceans and melting, causing changes in oceanic patterns which then causes ...

No one says the insolation will cancel the man-made global warming. But neither does the man-made global warming stop everything and prevent the earth...
