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 ...

Okay. Here ya go. One is my accent and one is proper pronunciation.

I'm a keyboard warrior, not a youtuber.

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...

Tuesdays test tolerance, Wednesdays wear wellbeing.
July 11, 2017 at 15:28
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 ...

No, but I know shit from Shinola.
July 11, 2017 at 13:43
I'm familiar with that. They have that in football.
July 11, 2017 at 13:39
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...

I might have been one of Hitler's willing executioners. I have a book about that by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, but I forget what it's called.
July 11, 2017 at 13:24
That's nothing. Jesus could turn water into wine. That's the Truth - which is like the truth, except it has a capital letter and is false.

You could also wear a distinctive hat, come up with an alias for yourself, such as Heidegger, and start selling meth.

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...
July 11, 2017 at 12:20
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...

Nice projection you got going there. Very nice indeed.
July 11, 2017 at 11:58
You're being unreasonable. That's honestly what I think right now, regardless of whether or not it's true.
July 11, 2017 at 11:47
Jesus Christ. Where did you get that from?
July 11, 2017 at 11:44
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...
July 11, 2017 at 11:38
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...
July 11, 2017 at 11:33
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...
July 11, 2017 at 11:20
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...
July 11, 2017 at 11:10
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...
July 11, 2017 at 11:07
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 ...
July 11, 2017 at 10:57
No, truth is truth and honesty is honesty.
July 11, 2017 at 10:53
No, not impressive, Impressive.

July 11, 2017 at 10:42
Yeah yeah, I edited my comment. 70 - 150 years is a more accurate estimation.
July 11, 2017 at 10:40
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...
July 11, 2017 at 10:23
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...
July 11, 2017 at 10:16
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...
July 11, 2017 at 09:45
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...
July 11, 2017 at 09:38
Yes, we're all lunatics in a cave, staring at shadows on a wall. But not you. You're special. (Y)
July 11, 2017 at 09:31
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 ...

I just chose that photo because I liked it. I hadn't a clue what region it was native to.
July 07, 2017 at 15:06
Symbolic of wisdom, as you probably already know.
July 06, 2017 at 20:29
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...
July 06, 2017 at 20:23
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...
July 05, 2017 at 13:16
A better analysis of morality? I don't think so.
July 05, 2017 at 12:59
Suffering, imposition, victimising... loaded language. :-d Missing the point. :-d You didn't. That wasn't the point. The point speaks for itself. Fals...
