Again, I'm not talking about any assertion. A premise isn't the same as an assertion, and a premise need not be asserted. If discussing validity, i.e....
January 05, 2017 at 18:04
Yes, I understand that. But I wasn't talking about the statement as an assertion. I said "Interpreting the statement logically...". It has a logical f...

What's the difference, if any, between a car and a bicycle?
January 05, 2017 at 17:01
That seems wrong to me. Interpreting the statement logically, the conclusion would be after "then", the first premise would be after "if", and the sec...

@"Lower Case NUMBERS" Ha! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, cutie sweety sugar pie honeybunny darling!

Yeh, the Wikipedia article I got that from did say "domain".
January 03, 2017 at 14:55
:D Ok then. No, this isn't... honeybun. Although, interestingly, as a .com website, it "remains under ultimate jurisdiction of U.S. law".

Hi Nils Loc, We don't always keep a record of the reasons why a post has been deleted. But you are welcome to contact the site staff to request that i...

I agree that it's ironic, and I also found that a little amusing. Yes, there are indeed other philosophy forums, and you're free to participate at any...

Holy shit. I wasn't expecting to find this when I googled "basket case": /uploads/files/ud/rrxh6mioc0tujc62.jpg Moses? Is that you? You've grown into ...

Should I? A poll is needed to answer that. And this. And that too. Infinite regress of polls.
December 31, 2016 at 01:36
Too many polls.

As long as I'm healthy enough to murder... In other news, I now have broadband at home. Yay! TV and internet and online gaming!
December 29, 2016 at 13:48
Murder less.
December 29, 2016 at 13:37
The creation of these discussions is practically inevitable, and there'll no doubt be more of them in future. Been there, done that. It's better witho...

A donkey playing the piano with one of those little cone-shaped party hats! :D

Merry Christmas/Bah humbug, everyone! I haven't been online recently because I've moved house and I don't have broadband yet. But I'll be more active ...

It was correct and concise. What more do you want? That's a good reply in my book.
December 20, 2016 at 15:24
I agree with the gist of that, but you're exaggerating. I do, but I only brought him up as an example, not to suggest that I agree with his arguments....
December 20, 2016 at 15:19
The irony is that this is why Banno's point was a good one. You made a general claim that actually told us more about you. So did the original poster,...
December 20, 2016 at 14:44
Of course you don't see that here, to this guy. That's because my understanding, which I believe is correct, is that this guy didn't start a discussio...
December 20, 2016 at 14:35
Yeah, I agree.
December 20, 2016 at 12:03
Okay. I find that an overreaction. I agree that it's a valid issue. But he was making a general point about philosophy, and just using those points as...
December 20, 2016 at 12:00
I have done so. I have submitted over ten thousand posts over about six years. Pretty sure I've covered both of those subjects at some time or other.
December 20, 2016 at 11:47
I say it's both. It's a means to an end, and both the means and the end are important. The end, for me, is knowledge of the truth, or greater clarity ...
December 20, 2016 at 11:42
Your statements that contain "any reason" are evidently false. Either you don't mean what you said or you are oblivious of those reasons. I suspect th...

Ah, anti-ismism.

I would rather the U.K. had never had a female prime minister than the one we had, and the one we've got. Be careful what you wish for.
December 15, 2016 at 18:23
That's hilarious.

If I was Trump, I would resign the presidency and make a new series of The Apprentice instead.

Forget the sofa and the flat for it go in. I don't even need a stool. A barrel will do.
December 06, 2016 at 09:59
It isn't. College isn't needed to teach (or learn) anything.
November 28, 2016 at 17:52
Thanks, I intend to. I bought the grey one and I'll get it in about three weeks. That probably won't be a problem for me and my little cat. Her favour...

Too late, and it would've been a lot more expensive that way. The price difference is relatively large between the value online-only websites and sofa...
November 28, 2016 at 09:22
Why single out the grey one? They're both the same size. And neither are named or described as love seats, which are even smaller. I don't mind if I c...
November 28, 2016 at 09:15
So far, all three people who have responded have picked the grey. Hmm... My cat is sooo going to use whichever one I go for as a scratch post. Goddamm...

But it looks cooler and it's easier to clean than fabric.
November 26, 2016 at 21:43
Argh, I really don't know. Grey is a bit boring. I could buy cushions for the red one, but the back is low, and it looks like the seat goes quite far ...
November 26, 2016 at 21:40
Dilemma. Both are the same price. Do I go with the one I prefer the style of (red, faux leather) or the one which will probably be more comfortable (c...
November 26, 2016 at 21:33
That is awesome. I want that as my front door.
November 26, 2016 at 20:52
Maybe I will.
November 25, 2016 at 15:57
How else do you think that there could have been statements? Are there any other realistic alternatives that you can think of? It'd surely require som...

Philosophers can come up with clever arguments for just about anything. That's what they do. I try to bring things back down to earth.
