To Trollerton McTrollingsworth, amateur astronomer, and author of Stars Have No Valid Counterarguments, amongst other gems, such as Planets Have No Va...

You don't anything, because you don't exist. You haven't provided any valid your own existence. Provide a link, or you don't exist.

How can you have arguments if you don't exist? Provide a link to your existence.

Not I. Not generally, anyway. Only in the strictest of circumstances, like a contradiction.

American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, formed in 1973. No, wait, that's Cheap Trick. Nevermind. But you can't, because you don't exist, and even ...

So, if you found yourself in that scenario, you wouldn't try to resolve one of the most famous moral dilemmas of all time: whether to be, or not to be...

I believe that you're an amateur. But that's about the only thing I believe.

I am familiar with his published writings on the subject. His magnum opus is Stars Have No Valid Counterarguments by Trollerton McTrollingsworth.

Too obvious. The jig is up. Good game, though. You just lost the game, by the way.

I've already explained the problem. Oh! No, wait. I haven't. I must have dreamt that. I have no arguments or valid counterarguments. This is not a sen...

An astronomer! I don't believe that for a second. Obvious troll is obvious. Nor do I believe that you don't know that the definition of a troll covers...

He's not disagreeing with anything you've said, because you haven't said anything. And he's not disagreeing with you, because you don't exist. Provide...

So, anyway, what else do you enjoy doing in your spare time besides trolling this philosophy forum? You're a fan of St. Thomas Retardass, I gather. Sh...

Yes, I said that with absolute sincerity. You accurately represented the argument I never provided. The argument I must have dreamt I had made, in pub...

The point that Anaxagoras (the member of this forum, not the reputable philosopher) missed is that the UK government can do things like this: Because ...

That would be this world. I would do that because it matters to me. It has moral value to me.

:rofl: Yes, that's an accurate representation of the argument I gave to you in one of your recent discussions. You know, the argument you're denying t...

He's not being reasonable, he's just virtue signalling.

Why are you tagging me in relation to an irrelevant news article? Please don't do that.

That's the fallacy of missing the point. We were arguing over your original claim, and that's a completely different claim with no valid logical relat...

Nope, I've acknowledged that sort of thing, and it's still not even close. You should just retract your original claim, as there's a greater chance of...

There's nothing wrong with my logic. You haven't provided any valid counterargument.

So, I go through the effort of doing that, and my reward is...? What? Going around in circles with you again with regard to your failed logic, or your...

Here.

The consequences of their actions vastly outweigh any goodness in their intentions, in my judgement. It would be accepted on a wide scale by the lower...

Potato, apparently. He strikes me as someone fluent in the language of potato. Either that, or herpaderp.

Morality is about right and wrong, good and bad. Too many people on this forum confuse their own judgement about what's good with what morality is. Th...

Somewhere that seems proportional. I haven't suggested that it's an easy job to come up with a really detailed and practical way of doing this. Who do...

Is it a bad sign when the discussions you create quickly become damning parodies of your arguments? I think so, and I'm right. Or, at least, I have an...

Are you really saying anything other than, "altruism is good", and, "morality should be about altruism"? I doubt it, and I don't think that that sort ...

You're not familiar with what's meant by the 1%? No, funnily enough, I'm not talking about anything remotely close to my earnings. If we're pulling pe...

Which is the same chance anyone here has of getting through to Devans.

I would rather read your paper. Seems more promising. The author seems better qualified. Superior critical thinking skills, and a better writer. At le...

In what context?! Economically, yes. I am far from neo-liberalism, and I have little sympathy for the 1%. I would jump at a chance to pull them down.

In what context?

@"Banno" The term "equality" isn't the best term, either, actually. I agree with you on that. The term "proportionality" is better, and I have used it...

:100:

Staggering indeed.

What are "we" doing to gay people that even comes close to throwing them off buildings or performing public executions?! That's an outrageous comment ...

I'm not sure anyone here can help you. I'm leaning towards the assessment that you are beyond help, at least from a philosophy forum.

The topic can't even begin to proceed in any productive manner until you acknowledge the counterarguments. That's your step 1. And note well that step...

Are you sure you want an honest answer to that question?

He screams cognitive bias. Perhaps more than any other member of this forum that I have encountered.

Let's put it this way: if I died and discovered an afterlife, I would be extremely surprised. And your conclusion that there's roughly one third of a ...

I don't excuse my belligerence, I accept proportional responsibility, then I make light of it and move on, because otherwise it would eat me up inside...

:brow: But that's impossible.

:lol:

Or less? Anyway, I thought you were going to sleep over it. You were supposed to wake up to the magic, like an excited child on Christmas morning. You...

They're all guilty, even the innocent ones.
