I'm going to have my kids take care of me when I get older. I have an end of life directive that if I'm old, confused, unable to care for my basic nee...
My dating site experience is that you quickly realize it's a numbers game, where you have to send out hundreds of messages with the hopes of getting a...
If the agreement is reached without Ukraine's approval, you really have recreated the Munich Pact. In any event, if the plan was to surrender, the Wes...
This is certainly an optimistic outcome, unless, of course, you're Ukraine. My guess is that Ukraine says no to the idea that it be de facto annexed i...
This logic works both ways of course. Putin can be blamed for not having gotten the memo either, because he too has the intellectual capacity to recog...
Reminds me of this: "This is the doctrine of bitachon, or trust in G?d, which the chassidic master Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Lubavitch (1789–1866) dist...
Remember that time when Trump withheld defense funds from Ukraine in order to pressure President Zelensky to investigate Biden on bogus charges? All f...
Frank!! Is that you??? I was in Foxhole 8 with you right next to the gurgling latrine pit. I'm not sure which smelled worse, the mustard gas or the fe...
It's not a given we age forward or that we maintain identity through time. I'm just saying these "how old will I be" hypotheticals you guys casually t...
When I was 15, I worked at a Chinese restaurant and I would pour this really hot mustard powder in a bucket and mix in water and make that really hot ...
Ukraine will end like all wars, where the Ukrainians suffer terribly while the Russians fight for decades, never able to win, until finally they leave...
Unconditional love doesn't require unconditional compliance. If it did, that would be the condition. Unconditional love means loving the person regard...
You need not fight the American Revolution again. Your side won. We wrote a Constitution that has enshrined every principle you speak of into the very...
Let's look at this from the 100 mile overhead view so you can maybe understand my questioning these objections. We have a group of people who generall...
There is no law dictating that you are required to call transsexuals anything. You can be as offensive or inoffensive as you like. The US has no hate ...
The reason we call people male or female in the vernacular has nothing to do with their genes. It has to do with how they look and act. Of course it i...
Men were called "men" long before we knew anything of chromosomes. My guess is that you wouldn't know a male chromosome if you saw it, and if tomorrow...
Language is not mandated by ontology. Language is determined by use. There is no male "essence" that can be reduced to anything, including chromosomes...
My dream job is to work for the parks department, to drive around in a golf cart wearing green pants, moving limbs off the trail, and directing people...
It can be, or you might create a term for an unethical killing. That is, it is possible to condemn a particular type of killing without laws while fin...
When we would have peas and carrots, my dad would tell his favorite dad joke and tell us to eat every carrot and pea (pee) on our plate. We'd pick out...
I eat all meals now only with a fondue fork. I will walk out of any restaurant in digust if they can't accommodate that simple request. /uploads/resiz...
You're just trying to cancel cancel culture. The right's position is that the left bullies them into silence through public shame, personal condemnati...
In your OP, you gave examples of (near) universal agreement. Slavery, for example, is something we can all condemn. I'm willing to boycott those who e...
I alluded to this in a different context in this thread, but I do think humans have very strong innate social skills that allow us to navigate our com...
Other than in the harsh reality of living in abject poverty in a third world country where men find their only option for survival is to physically al...
I know you don't think you're a dark sith. But, if I'm wrong, convince me otherwise. Swear to it. Put your personal integrity on the line and tell me ...
I know the solipsistic consequences of infinite doubt. That's the slippery slope you reference and it's not interesting or enlightening. I trust the m...
That's deriving a theme from the story, but it doesn't show the historicity of the events. The point I've made is that there are inconsistent accounts...
I don't agree with your math. Let's reduce your number from 1000 to 2 to make this clearer. You know one marble is black. You also know there is only ...
Where do you date the theory of the incorporeality of God? Philo is 1,000 years before Maimonides, but it might be sooner. I point this out because I ...
That's not why. The reason the text has inconsistent accounts of the same stories is because it was pieced together from various writings by a single ...
The critical difference between your example and that of a transsexual is that your claims of dysphoria are in bad faith. In fact, they're not meant t...
Anecdotal evidence as found on social media has no validity. The accounts are not verified and they provide no statistical validity because there's no...
What makes it unethical for a person to knowingly consent to the procedure? This study of 214 patients evaluated 20 years after their surgery states, ...
They seek no gain from making you believe they're a woman. Unless they wish to date you, they can dress as they want, or does just the thought of thei...
