It's much easier to catch a cow, pig, sheep, deer or gift card for an Asda or Morrisons supermarket in Scotland, compared to trying to track and catch...
Don't bring fictitious non-existents into this, and no, I am not referring to my lunch. I am Scottish, I don't do lunch, raw lemons for breakfast, ski...
Americans? A nation of immigrants yes? :joke: So be careful to pay attention to what's happening in Britain, as Trump may decide to send most of you t...
Exactly, the tories want to ensure that trying to come to Britain by any other means than their so-called 'legal means,' which means only very well-of...
Blair renationalised nothing. He reversed none of Thatcher's anti-union laws. He did not reverse the right-to-buy disaster that now sees a majority of...
My personal view is more in line with this: On the 20th anniversary of one of Labour’s greatest victories, party members are, to say the least, confli...
No, he did almost nothing to reverse the policies/legislation introduced during the Thatcher years. Blair was and still is a shade of Tory(as is Starm...
Yeah but my worry is that labour under Starmer will just be a repeat of the Blair years. Don't forget Thatchers statement that she considered Blair he...
Hah! The UK Supreme Court has just confirmed the judgment that their Rwanda plan to dump asylum seekers there is not lawful. So the UK government has ...
I think @"baker" prefers to visit a thread, announce viewpoints and then visit other threads. Answering questions they probably find inconvenient does...
Lot's of resources in the solar system that could help us and there does not seem to be much use for it at present. We could bring new meaning and pur...
:grin: Well, I certainly hear about ideas that are quite different from mine, on this site. I wish to see if my own viewpoints stand up to the scrutin...
Not so much, for me on his offerings regarding rationality and its relationship to effective communication between humans. I accept that, but that doe...
A simplistic statement such as one person's rationality is another person's irrationality, does not invalidate the concept of rationality. Serial kill...
You obviously don't as I am not concerned about a lack of communication between people. I am concerned about the quality of that communication. Your p...
Justice is also a self-interest, it is imo, predominately a self-interest and is the source of the golden rule. Treat others as you would have them tr...
This area has so many shades in its spectrum of possible mind states. How would you connect 'stupid' to making mistakes or bad choices based on having...
Just based on my own further thinking on the above quote. I am not suggesting that 'role play' or simulating/emulating common human dilemma scenarios,...
Nothing wrong with that! where did I suggest otherwise? I think it's very very difficult for many to 'respect the differing values and ethical systems...
No, not at all, and your word salad offering meant very little to me. Perhaps it will mean more to others. Such sentences are just bizarre imo, are yo...
The universe demonsrates no independent intent. Any affect we have as a species, on anything, is currently very local indeed, and hardly goes beyond t...
I will join you on any rational road, numbered or otherwise. But let's stay within the universe/cosmos as there is no evidence of an 'outside' of the ...
A good thread with many good contributions imo. For me, the fact that discussions such as this one are alive and kicking and are developing and spread...
All I can offer you is an equal retort, to your diva-style insistence that your logic here is sound and strong when it is clearly neither. Your logic ...
Another very important exception is when we get into any origin of the universe proposal. It is not currently known whether or not the origin of the u...
Yeah, especially when that story produced Adam's first wife, Lilith. That relationship didn't work out, so the fantasy goes, so the incompetent god tr...
No, they are too much for you! Adding on too many suppositions reduces the impact of any claim. I don't mind whether you prefer private or more public...
I think there has been some misunderstanding / crossed lines here. My posted sentence of: was just a quote from the link provided by 180proof with: Hi...
:roll: :roll: That was too much 'supposition' for my tastes. Try 1 supposition at a time, perhaps in the syllogism style, and then state your proposed...
Nothing, when they are pronounced as and delivered as fiction. But the biblical ones are! That's one of the main problems of religion, yes? Lies and f...
You still have a very sharp mind Vera, perhaps a bit more spinning and you will clear out the cobwebs and realise that you are still a force, and your...
You misread the sentence. I typed 'you' and all future humans, so I did not include 'you' in the group 'future humans.' I think you are a current huma...
Of course, we will keep on and you and all future humans are welcome and don't need to show your gratitude. Including those who used to care enough to...
Evidence, burden of proof is part of this around 24 min clip from 'the line' with Jimmy Snow and Matt Dillahunty. The caller is a Catholic Priest. 'Fa...
Yes it is! Zeus exists is a claim that Zeus exists is a fact or an objective truth about the Universe. The statement you posted was not 'It might be p...
Why would I refuse an offer, whereby I can learn more, from your impressive knowledge of the musings of past or present philosophers friend? That woul...
Well done, in letting that penny finally drop. Perseverance dear lady, is in the remit of the truth seeker. Many theists are not complete dimwits, the...
*yawn* On the contrary, I have had my successes in convincing some individual theists to reconsider their position and in changing some right-wing pol...
I agree. No, not futile, just very difficult. People are leaving religion in droves, including many who have spent a great deal of their lives deeply ...
I have no idea what priority individual theists place on that which they consider a fact or an objective truth. I have indeed heard many theists state...
Not familiar with Hester Berry. Had a quick look at the paintings your link took me to. I liked or saw some value in some: https://www.hesterberry.co....
