Sort of, yes. Powell was more destructive. Like kill an American contractor and dance threateningly around the US Embassy in Baghdad? With less coordi...

I don't think it was strictly a Trump thing (like I'm in the inner circle or something). The Iranian in question had been a target for a while because...

I thought you were undead.

This sounds like a homework question.

Its associated with sight. If thought reduces to linguistic use, then why do we say "I see" when we understand something? Why not "I hear."? Maybe lan...

Could be.

I think you mean it would be irrelevant for the purposes of a logical argument which hopes to conclude that X is bad. Moral frameworks that reference ...

But don't we arrive at this insight by way of reason? The eye can't see itself.

That reminds me, I've got to buy some dinosaur food.

"To see things" can imply that one has a distant vantage point on the world, as if one is separated from it, perhaps in some eternal realm. Maybe it's...

The US government stopped funding it during the Reagan era. GE did it with lasers, but most of the energy it was making was being used to contain it. ...

Easy: we're God's finger puppets. When we go to war with each other, God is smashing his hands together and rolling all over heaven making explosive s...

Do you mean a Middle Pillar?

I found the study here

One day we'll have fusion power. The US gave up on researching it because it was politically unpopular. I'm guessing the Chinese will do it eventually...

Epigenetics involves genes being turned on or off, right? Are you saying that primal imagery is turned on and off by some mechanism?

Could you explain this term?

For Jews and Christians, the answer to that was traditionally associated with the belief that males are supposed to be dominant, and so above and pene...

smh

Bernie supporters are pretty tenacious, but I don't see him winning the nomination. Warren? I doubt it. It'll probably be Biden, who doesnt excite the...

That's exactly what its about. :rofl:

Could be.

Have you read Heidegger's What is Metaphysics? All about the concept of being emerging from the dread of nothingness. It's awesome. I dont mean he's n...

I meant that I come from redworld. I've experienced most of the things those people were subjected to. Nobody was trying to fire me, its just that wor...

I'm working on a collage-mural where the dominant background colors are blood red and a sort of turquoise-green color. Wandering through the landscape...

I'm going to sue Cheez-it for making their Grooves product, of which the Original Cheddar has been established to be addictive. Since the package clea...

Don't refer to things like "runaway climate change." What is that? It appears to be unnecessary fear mongering. Yes the world will be very different i...

According to John Steinbeck they'll starve and die of disease and it will be discovered that one family had some canned peaches and didn't share with ...

Fun, useful, not silly: do you discover these things or do you declare them? And if you discover what's not silly, where was it before you found it? M...

Merry Christmas. :)

Your concern for the workers is a tribute to either your kind heart or the fact that you direct most of your talent into sophistry. Maybe both. Ssu pr...

No. You're tossing it away for no reason.

Merry Christmas!

My rule is that they are discovered. Don't toss away my rule because of some made-up logic.

Please don't revolve around the thread talking in front of my back. Open the doors of the windows and let the climate in. And please don't put the log...

It's like being a character in a novel and reading the book at the same time. The character is all caught up in a grand drama, the reader knows none o...

I don't think the average lawyer is valiantly upholding the Greek ideal, though. It's about money, which translates to security and power. The OP was ...

Yes, I know about the bees. Much of that is because of widespread insecticide use. Insecticides tend to breed insecticide-resistant species and a warm...

Sure, and an asteroid could collide with the earth and put a giant crater where North America is now. But if you're saying that this could happen due ...

Math rules are discovered, not made.

So the fact that you make your living off of securing damages has no bearing? Actually in your case that's probably true.

If you're the victims' lawyer for the civil suit, you're motivated to get as much as you can from the executives. It all comes back to the bottom line...

I agree that knowing someone is deliberately trying to make you feel like crap adds a little more oomph to the punch. There's shock value. But that's ...

I'm thinking something more primitive: the ideal is that we support each other (and seek to bring out the best). Where that doesn't happen, the stress...

I know what OSHA is. A boss can turn a workplace into hell without any overt bullying. Where that exists, we don't need to refer to "moral harassment....

I think you just made that up. Could you give an example?

I knew it! Socialism was the problem! :strong:

Betrayal of what exactly?
