Blunt. Beautifully blunt. I like it. :grin:

Right.

Then you bite their head off for straying from the topic. Your discussion, you act as chair.

Hey, you stole my gimmick. "I'm the doctor"™, is my catchphrase. Bloody pig-chimp.

Sounds like you're overthinking it. Just get stuck in. What's the worst that can happen?

Not solely, no. But it is dependent on it in the sense that you won't get very far at all without it. You'll inevitably encounter a premise which requ...

Of course they are, and rightly so. We've been over this. If you claim otherwise, then as I've said multiple times now, you have a burden of justifica...

I was clearly talking about particular cases, which implies particular laws. I said "in some cases". There's no category error, and I'm not confused a...

Compliance to the law is condemnable in some cases, and certainly not worthy of respect. It's meaningless to talk about this abstractly and removed fr...

It's shocking that you're continuing to address that straw man of my claim, in spite of your doing so having been exposed as fallacious, and in spite ...

You keep going back to this, but that's missing the point. I'm not taking issue with the possibility. I'm taking issue, as have others, with claims of...

Yes, basically. I asked you how you can reasonably rule that out. You evaded that question. And bear in mind that reason isn't the same as faith. Havi...

Exactly. With this in mind, the question is why Wayfarer is trying to sell this as something that it's not, and why he is giving special treatment to ...

I've acknowledged what I've said. I haven't acknowledged your uncharitable characterisation of it, for obvious reasons. And besides, what's wrong with...

"Thank you for your time... and for showing that anger is not part of American political discourse". :rofl:

And why is it that you give this one farfetched possibility special treatment? Also, you really should put the word "memories" in scare quotes, like B...

:lol:

I don't even know if they're all online right now. But people like Tim answered the question earlier, it's just that it's a rubbish answer that has be...

A number of reasons. One reason is that I've already given the longer version, and I'm not over the moon at the prospect of repeating myself just beca...

That just goes to show that you've hardly been paying any attention to what I've been saying. Do you have any recollection of what I've actually said?...

Spoken like a true believer. We must accept the pile of trash as gold, or else we're succumbing to a taboo. Accept Jesus into your life, or you're goi...

Well said. :grin:

Alright, fine. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. And, out of those small number of cases where it has been admitted, how has it fared? Also, I'v...

Funnily enough, no. That was an amusingly ridiculous twist on what I said. But, as amusing as that was, it is an evasion nevertheless. To remain on po...

That comes as no surprise. That's why what he says can't be trusted, and that's why we'd have to look into the matter ourselves. Well, not all of what...

Why would you do that? You haven't ruled that out. I don't need an alternative to the alternative. You haven't given any examples of that. If you disa...

I agree. That's where it begins. It begins with his disapproval. Although it doesn't surprise me in the least that Tim would come out with something l...

You must at least have an inkling. You're just withholding your thinking because it suits your agenda, which is to attack what I say. Bravo! You succe...

Others have done so, and done a better job of it. You haven't presented anything which could be counted as evidence for recollections of past lives ov...

More of it! That's what I say. Do you concur?

For a while there, it was almost like the topic had morphed into something else. Something about fucking off, pig-chimps, my cat, and the weather. Wei...

The courts! Thank you for bringing that up. How do you think that the courts would respond to attempts to allow testimony of alleged past lives into a...

What were we supposed to be talking about, again? Ah yes. So anyway, the ethics of taking illegal drugs... Are there any points left that haven't been...

Ah, I see. It's only when I make those points that they're rationalisations. And I'm sure that you saying this has nothing to do with any personal iss...

I believe it was you who started the fuck off-ing. You brought us here. So you should be asking yourself those questions. What do you think you could ...

And everyone else who has made similar points are all rationalising their own drug habits, too? Lol.

Haha, yeah, that's a real charitable interpretation of all that I'm saying, Wayfarer. Good job. :lol: :up: Of course there are other explanations! Why...

So what if I do? I do find it amusing when someone like Tim gets all hot under the collar just because they can't handle a bit of direct criticism. I ...

I'm entitled to plainly point out a poorly formed question, when I think that a poorly formed question has been asked, which is where this began. And ...

Fuck off. :lol:

So you're foolish enough to answer loaded questions? Why is that?

On whether or not they can spell the word "stupid".

I don't answer loaded questions, I identify them as loaded. The irony was that it was a loaded question where the loaded assumption is that I use "loa...

That's one more than the number of formal debates that have taken place, at least.

How ironic. That is itself a loaded question. You realise that, right? Can you not see what's vague or loaded about the question he asked? It's the "w...

I mean, when you asked: Was there not even a hint in your mind that you were asking a stupid question, given its vague and loaded nature?

Your failings span multiple topics. In this discussion, your failings relate to the ethics of taking illegal drugs. And the specific failing I pointed...

I've considered your thoughtful objection, but unfortunately for you, I've decided to continue to point out your failings, regardless of how many time...

That's a pretty clear indication of your own bias. You've already accepted that they're recalling things, even though that's just one possible explana...

But they are like those sort of claims! How are they not? They are both not subject to the scientific method, as Janus rightly pointed out. In both ca...
