Oh, and happy birthday, @"Bitter Crank".

He actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent, and then they did just that. He also seemed to encourage a...

Yes, they do both lie, but as for the rest, I beg to differ. I think that this is so true:
November 01, 2016 at 20:17
(Y) Except you left out "corrupt".
November 01, 2016 at 18:58
Interesting that you attribute "lying" to Clinton rather than Trump. That decision must have been based on something other than who the bigger liar is...

No. What we need is a new independent bureau of investigation to investigate the FBI. And then another one to investigate that one due to corruption. ...

One can imagine what he might have experienced, and one can reasonably assess what he could and could not have experienced, and one can reasonably ass...

The original post in that discussion isn't unseen by me and by others. You should be able to see it too if you're on the right page. I'm not sure why ...
November 01, 2016 at 10:09
:-d It's not about his experience, it's about his judgement. The sooner you understand that, the better. And I've already explained to you why his own...

This makes it even more shocking: /uploads/resized/files/e5/r5x0jic7pclwvm6z.png Seems like a double standard.
November 01, 2016 at 09:11
But even your interpretation implies a minimal process of reasoning, and whether we address his process of reasoning or the standard that he has used ...
October 31, 2016 at 22:23
Your second sentence describes at least a minimal process of reasoning, and we can infer other things about his process of reasoning from that and oth...
October 31, 2016 at 21:26
No, I think that it is you who has misunderstood. I agree that he didn't present it in the form of an argument, but in it he revealed his process of r...
October 31, 2016 at 20:52
Yes, I have, and I can relate to it inasmuch as I also tend to reserve judgement to some extent because of a lack of clarity in the meaning of certain...
October 31, 2016 at 20:20
Yeh right. That's either a lie or you're incompetent. Your OP used provocative language directed towards atheists, and I think that it was deliberate....
October 31, 2016 at 19:46
Ah... so after reading further into the discussion, it seems you had already conceded one of your claims I took issue with: So, unless you claim that ...
October 31, 2016 at 18:01
Your assessment of my position isn't too far off. What I call atheism is broad enough to include a sort agnosticism as well as stronger forms of athei...
October 31, 2016 at 17:15
But that isn't atheism. That is consistent with atheism, but it isn't atheism itself. And it is misleading to say that all of those things that you me...
October 31, 2016 at 09:10
Typical. Well, this is a philosophy forum, and your post and attitude are unphilosphical. I don't really care about these experiences of yours that yo...
October 30, 2016 at 19:42
Why? Was it not clear to you from my last post in which I mentioned other possibilities? Given these other possibilities, your assertion is simply fal...
October 30, 2016 at 18:25
Sure, that seems possible. But if the theist-in-question is to go down that route, then he or she mustn't also contradict him or her self by, for exam...
October 29, 2016 at 14:31
That is simply false. That argument doesn't support your claim. It only supports a weaker revised version which mirrors your use of "it seems to make ...
October 29, 2016 at 14:10
Yeh, that was my suspicion. That his interpretation was being favoured and used to exclude others - despite their existence, and despite the large num...
October 29, 2016 at 10:36
Woh, this discussion grew fast... But we both know that that ain't the case, right? I mean, not with absolute certainty, but there's no way in hell he...
October 29, 2016 at 10:18
As I suspected... Of course not, since the term doesn't originate that far back in history.

Although you probably know a lot more about those religions than I do, I find that doubtful. Are you sure that it's not just that you interpret them i...
October 28, 2016 at 10:18
At what point, and on what grounds, are people like Colin able to reasonably conclude that their experiences (which Colin hasn't even described) are s...
October 28, 2016 at 09:02
Thank fuck I'm moving out soon. This psycho I live with keeps having massive out-of-control tantrums.
October 28, 2016 at 08:37
But I use this site via Chrome via my mobile, and it works. /uploads/resized/files/3q/3vdwaz8div7bdu9f.png
October 28, 2016 at 08:32
That is weird. The subliminal message I received was to worship Satan, and to sacrifice a young, smiling, pig-tailed red-head in his honour. Well, it'...

:) Where do you think it answers my first question of how you think you know that life has such an end or goal towards which life strives? Obviously I...

/uploads/resized/files/ff/ia652lmxqxy412av.png Judging by the polls, Hilary Clinton is set to win, unless perhaps something drastic happens, and the l...
October 27, 2016 at 09:42
Sure. In an ideal world, we wouldn't have government. But that world is unrealistic. We should focus instead on realistic visions of this world. So, t...
October 24, 2016 at 11:07
Riiiiight... So, how do you think you know this? And why can it only be described negatively? Do you mean, you can't even say what it is, but can only...
October 24, 2016 at 10:09
Who likes bad decisions? Democracy allows bad decisions, so it clearly has a downside. It's not a simple matter of liking or not liking democracy. It'...

No, I don't. I don't drive. Never have.

I expect at least some of the predictions about the detrimental consequences of Brexit to come true. I'm more sceptical of the beneficial predications...
October 23, 2016 at 16:36
Just looked over where the candidates stand on key issues. This is not good:
October 23, 2016 at 16:12
Yes, agreed: those and other important issues which might not be such a priority for the Tories. I'm with Jeremy Corbyn on this one, who has taken a s...
October 21, 2016 at 09:21
Less of "the losers" and "they" when making such criticisms, please. I don't mind being called a loser in that context, because it's correct: we lost....
October 21, 2016 at 09:13
Yeah. These were good bits: And also when Clinton took a rare moment to brilliantly play Trump at his own game by interrupting his speech about how gr...
October 21, 2016 at 08:36
Yes, it brought that back to my mind, too. I'm still not willing to condone going that far, but that doesn't mean that I can't bemoan the situation we...
October 20, 2016 at 01:04
I'm not even going to dignify that with a response. It's a discredited conspiracy theory, and this is a philosophy forum with standards that ought to ...
October 18, 2016 at 23:33
I don't know that much about it, to be honest. But I know that he has made it clear that he will use whatever power he has to take the stick approach,...
October 18, 2016 at 23:23
Yes, indeed. This is what he is known for. Sore loser. After all, he gained the political spotlight years ago when he tried to undermine the authority...
October 18, 2016 at 23:04
You know, I'm starting to think that democracy ain't all it's cracked up to be. After all, democracy has got those of us here in the U.K. lumped with ...
