It seems to me that most folks contributing to this thread would advocate for a sociopolitical system that did not allow homelessness or people who ha...
Yeah, I feel pity for them too, who wants to be a caged canary? The first to die if the gas escapes, but yeah, perhaps they don't die in vain. We can ...
Thanks for sharing that. All potential suicides should read your post and reflect on how such an action can affect the lives of others. I hope your be...
You would need to provide a lot more evidence than your typed protestation above. How about debunking the content of: Consciousness, microtubules and ...
I think it's now more commonly known as the completely debunked Kalam cosmological argument. William Lane Craig is all smoke and mirrors. Even the mos...
I prefer to follow the work of Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose on the question of human consciousness. The posit that a 'supernatural' (first cause)...
I agree, as do most, if not all rational people imo. Excess suffering remains a problem to be solved and human science is clearly motivated to continu...
YOU CAN WIN AGAINST DESPAIR! AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! Decide/demand/command and FEEL differently! FLIP IT! When I get those down, desperate, depress...

No, it simply means that a program needs a programmer, it does not then follow that a universe needs a first cause, apart from in your own musings and...
Just as valid to 'infer,' no first cause required, as the universe is an eternal cycle, or that our universe is only one of a vast multiverse or our u...
Classically, the word 'matter,' referred to anything with mass but I think now, the words matter, mass and energy all refer to the same 'quanta.' Matt...
I don't 'dispute' anything related to the physics of black holes stated by someone as renowned in the subject as Kip Thorne, I am merely querying your...
We have no idea what happens inside a black hole. What do you mean by destroyed? If energy and mass are just two different states of matter, then mass...
I think they would all make great tourist guides. Turn all the palaces, towers, castles and cathedrals into state schools, hospitals and hostels for t...
Not a big hit at the box office but now a bit of a cult classic. I can only feel anger inside at such situations. There should be adequate social serv...
A fair point! :lol: But as an east end Glaswegian, I would just get very drunk on the wine, get lost in the forest and all the maidens would run off w...
Typical Hanoverian King type behaviour. You could be in line for the UK throne! Are you interested? The House of Hanover (German: Haus Hannover), whos...

I always prefer the more childlike response: (and I will deliver it with my best childlike voice') 'I'm telling my daddy you called me a bas****!" I w...
Most who support the monarchy claim they are good value for money based on the tourism they attract and the positive global ambassadorial role they pl...
I do not understand why Australia did not become a republic long ago. It's not like the Brit aristos or the brit establishment have ever displayed muc...
Is Papa Razzi a nickname for the pope? If it was true that this was a Papel act then that could start a sectarian war in the UK. Oh, wait a minute, th...
