No, not good for them. Less psychological resilience isn't a good thing. In fact, it sums up your whole problem in much less words than your typical n...

I love how you imply that you act like more of an adult than me, yet resort to childish name calling, in the same breath. You certainly haven't practi...

Let's not fail to see the wood for the trees. You can call what I'm talking about, "Gertrude", for all I care. The point is that it's a problem. It's ...

I'm aware that there are specific subcategories under moral relativism. But they all come under moral relativism, which is what you asked about. You d...

Why would you do that? Obviously I'm using the term in a looser sense than that.

Oi, what u chattin', bruv? Only one of us be gettin' merc'd. An it ain't me, fam.

Isn't much of psychology speculation, anyway? And I think in some cases, the person might well not know it to be true on any level, even subconsciousl...

You're welcome.

It's fairly simple, in spite of the fact that some people seem to have great difficulty grasping what it entails and what it doesn't entail. It simply...

You didn't indicate an understanding of moral relativism in your reply, because you claimed that I couldn't be wrong, when obviously under moral relat...

:grin::up:

Are you referring to my comment or what I quoted? If the former, then where is your explanation? If the former, I think that's just a indication of bi...

You know that I'm a moral relativist. Do I really need to explain how that works again?

My cat and my wall are my two best friends. They're also my only friends. We have such riveting conversations. They're good listeners.

I think there's a trend to be dismissive of thought experiments. I think this kind of misses the point. And yes, it is irritating when people try to g...

Hmm. Maybe that is also true of someone who wants to make this about "personal attacks", which demonstrates a clear violation of the principle of char...

This highlights the problem well. What you're saying there is either true or false, but that's not a full explanation. What's interesting is why you m...

Then what was your point? Saying that they don't have the authority to do what they're doing suggests that you don't think that they're permitted to d...

I think that people have been unfair to you. The humour is to be expected, and I'm okay with that, but what I take issue with is the criticism that yo...

Great minds think alike. (And everyone else should be taken out back and shot: a good beating is too lenient).

They already have that authority. We all do. We have it by default. On the contrary, you do not have the authority to silence us. It is our right to f...

Sweet Jesus, not more spam. Nothing in that copy-paste of your comment clarifies your meaning of "God". That is not helpful at all. How hard is it to ...

I'm with you on that one in a number of conceivable cases, but not in others. I don't agree with casual references to a person or a group of people in...

The common objection is that it's irrelevant. It is a fallacy of relevance, after all. It addresses the person rather than the substance of the argume...

Yes, I agree with that, and with what Terrapin has said.

This spam is really getting on my nerves: Is he trying to brain wash us or what? Stop trying to push your pet theory all of the time. Some of us are g...

It's a bit of a leap from, "What's morality? Is it anything other than how people feel, whether they approve or disapprove, etc. of interpersonal beha...

Anyone notice how the tangents often seem to stem back to @"creativesoul"? Why are promises being talked about?

It wouldn't be the end of the world. Or maybe it would be for me. But anyway, I'm convinced that I would be worse off otherwise, otherwise I would hav...

I agree. If the wording can be improved, I say improve it. But don't look to me for that. The occurrence of it is definitely a problem. There are at l...

Nobody wants that kind of slave life. It's not that simple. I have priorities, I have my own place, I have my principles, I have my desires, I have my...

Oh yeah! Well I work full time breaking my back shifting heavy loads for minimum wage, plus commission if I can be a manipulative son of a bitch, also...

It is very, very apparent in my workplace, for example. Anyway, see? I told you I mix it up. That was a sincere and heartfelt answer instead of a humo...

Lots and lots of people do. It is everywhere you look, if you know what to look for. I haven't had her back at my place for a few months, and I miss h...

Oh the irony. Okay, fine, whatever you say. I am a deluded egomaniac and this discussion had nothing whatsoever to do with me. I should shut up and st...

Oh, come on. Be more transparent. You made it with me in mind.

No, it doesn't have to be like that. Dare I say it, but could that be projection? It is understandable for someone to react negatively to insinuations...

No, not all about me, but I could see through it straight it away. Anyway, I thought that we had built some sort of connection which I found to be of ...

No, I said that they aim for the truth. They're my best shot at it. And I even said that I could be reading too much into things at times and could be...

All in all, to sum this discussion of yours up, I'd say that it is a veiled attack and a double standard.

Yes, and there's nothing wrong with me doing that. Nothing wrong with that. Please do, I find it interesting, and it can be productive. I agree with y...

The following segment of the guidelines seems of relevance: And anything can be reported through the flagging button (bottom left-hand corner of a com...

So I can wallow about like you? No thanks. That's fine, and I agree. We probably just have a different sense of where exactly to draw the line. I am m...

Yes, it's odd. Especially since I'm known for my delicate handling of such situations. Nothing says delicate like, "Stop spamming!".

I know I'm far from perfect, but I don't spam like that. Those posts are very much a pattern, and they are a problem in my assessment. I don't think t...

What he means is that he wouldn't do so with the realisation that it is spamming. I explained that it wasn't a threat. That's just his misinterpretati...

Not just something, something in particular, namely God. But Maureen hasn't made clear the meaning she intended for this discussion, and until she doe...

:grin:

Ah, anti-ism-ism.
