I don't get it. Why bring up ethics and Hitler? Do you want to examine how deplorable it was or how rational it was? The former is about how it makes ...
In my neck of the woods, water is "wa'uh" and "ball" is "baw". Otherwise you're posh. For some, "hello" is "allo", but I pronounce my h's, which I sup...
No, because knowhow can, and often is, sufficient to cover sufficiently similar tasks, even if they've never been attempted. Attempting and accomplish...
Yes. I said I know shit from Shinola, not that I have faith. Faith won't make your shoes shine or move mountains. (And I think he was talking about a ...
Depends what you're referring to. I do take things seriously from time to time, but it takes a special sort of person to really believe that Jesus tur...
He'd have to pay off all of us who have a copy. But wouldn't it be easier if he just paid it all into a single account and it was then distributed amo...
Don't lie to me, Michael. I was in there with you. Remember? I thought you loved our showers. Oh, come on, Michael. You know I've got early onset deme...
I can make that happen. Just give me your address, and I'll post you that recording I made of you singing in the shower last week. The video footage c...
That's a straw man, though. What I referenced is not mystical and can oftentimes be checked empirically. A true statement is a statement of truth. Tru...
Yes, even in Essex, where I have always lived, there is a variety of accents. There's quite a difference between how I sound and how Joey Essex sounds...
You know, I think I've come around to Wosret's point of view. A person can not honesty utter a non-truth and a feather is not dark. Truth is just hone...
I'm saying what needs to be said and little else. It's called succinctness. You're just resorting to a ridiculous characterisation. You're making a de...
So you conflate truth and honesty, whilst others such as myself acknowledge the distinction. Okay, have fun with that, but it's pointless and won't ac...
No, you're just exaggerating and trying to make the ordinary sound absurd and ridiculous. You also seem to be committing yourself to an untenable posi...
Why are you doing that weird capitalisation thing? Out of the two of us, I am the one who acknowledges the obvious distinction, evidenced by the fact ...
Not true. I've convinced myself. And what I think is all that really matters. :D That's not an unusual claim. Google it. Anyway, a long time afterward...
Then you should be able to relate to my position regarding Plato. So it's true because he said it? Or rather, it's true because almost two thousand ye...
I have a special intellectual insight, like Plato had. Imagine, if you will, a cave... Christ is the Truth? >:O If Hume was just a character in a book...
I know everything about you. For example, I know that you have secret sexual fantasies about those guys with their tops off in public who you criticis...
That one again. :-} A guess is exactly what it is, and a guess is not very helpful. The book (or books) in question is (or are) not the Bible, and I a...
Being relatable and useful are factors which contribute towards being the best foundation for morality. That being is something we all have in common ...
No, the problem with Plato is that he falls into the category of many who went before Hume, in that they try to go beyond what can be known. Plato "pr...
Now there's a surprise! It can be as in-depth and complete as it likes, but that won't salvage it from its faults. Too obscure and abstract. Not very ...
Sorry. I deleted them on the basis that they were a continuation of a casual digression amidst a serious discussion that didn't need to be here and co...
Suffering, imposition, victimising... loaded language. :-d Missing the point. :-d You didn't. That wasn't the point. The point speaks for itself. Fals...
