I didn't say that either. I quoted exactly what you said and commented on it. That they aren't absolutely inferior doesn't address the point, and that...

I'm sure you can rightly draw some implications from that, but "males are socially inferior" isn't one of them. I think you have a problem in this are...

The very question is offensive. Males are much more than male criminals, so they shouldn't be judged by that measure.

Does anyone else find it cringey when someone tries to twist what Kant says to fit their own crackpot ramblings? Or to claim that some famed intellect...

Someone seems to have changed their tune. When I gave a logical argument against idealism, it was all empiricism, empiricism, empiricism.

I'm sure the Scots will be happy so long as they have their Irn Bru and heroin.

It's funny when people think that Hume has been refuted when the evidence suggests otherwise. I doubt that many people who aren't Kant fanboys would a...

I actually think you're just making things up. Maybe you do have a dog. Maybe you even have a dog that had cancer. Maybe you don't even have a dog.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You do realise that this is a philosophy forum: a place where you're supposed to think critically.
March 29, 2019 at 12:12
Wait, what's an example of sarcasm in the Bible? Thou shalt not murder?
March 29, 2019 at 12:09

Oh yeah, also, passionately expressing a strong objection to murder is like casually saying, "I like cheese puffs".

Indeed, we have. How many times now? A hundred? A thousand? I lost count a long time ago. We have over fifty pages of this now. Pretty crazy.
