Yet he only killed white people. The judge threw the charge out before it got to the jury because the law didn't apply to the facts. The State makes t...
That's just scientifically incorrect. My nose doesn't see things, nor does my pancreas. You do in fact, regardless of how messy it makes philosophical...
I think you overlook a serious problem here. If you admit that the presence of Y between object X and perceiver Z distorts, modifies, or alters the pe...
A goat has a split hoof, and it grows a toenail that curves over it when overgrown, so you have to cut it from time to time, holding tight, occasional...
I copied that recipe, but substituted ice for the turkey. It was cold wet pasta, but pretty darn delicious. Thanks again for sharing your recipes. Kee...
If the flower is 100 feet away, there's that barrier, especially if it's foggy outside or if a tree is in the way, and then there's the lens of the ey...
Of course there's a reason to think it's a different for us and for the bee. The lens of the bee presents it in an entirely different way. There's als...
I think the question in this thread is how we know what the external world is (which was the part of the survey I referred to) and to a lesser extent ...
But there's no question that this happens in real life. I look at the eye chart to take my eye exam. There are the letters that are there and there ar...
Yeah, but you left out a key word here. Fill in the blank: "I would think direct realism would permit that different creatures, with differing biologi...
I can't see how there can be any proposition that cannot be negated. That is, for any proposition A, there is a proposition not A. That would hold tru...
I won't take full credit for my quote above: "Days pass and the years vanish and we walk sightless among miracles. Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and...
The trick in dealing with the phenomenal is to understand that it makes a significant difference whether the phenomenal correlates to reality. There i...
This misunderstands the analogy. We don't see the blinking light. We see the flower. The car sees the passing car and a blinking light is activated. D...
I believe every blade of grass is exactly where it ought to be in order to fulfill a particular divine purpose, yet we walk blindly among miracles, mi...
If we adapt to environment A, we will avoid B if we're not adapted to it because we'll not compete well there. That's why tigers don't find a nice war...
The article was too long, but am I correct in interpreting that it says an experiment with mice showed the mice tried to avoid surprise, so that findi...
I get @"Banno"'s comment, suggesting that if all properties are subjectively imposed, then how can we speak of those properties of the thing in itself...
Self help is the predictable consequence of failed law enforcement. The decision of law enforcement to respond to street violence (whether justified p...
My car has this feature that causes a light on the side mirror to light up when another vehicle passes into my blind spot. Unless you wish to speak if...
Idealism wouldn't require anything external to the mind, so I'm not sure it's worried about other minds and what they see. In any event, if your basis...
"Uni" verse means one. It means everything that there is. That something is "external" could not mean external to the universe. If it did, the univers...
"KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) — The first man shot by Kyle Rittenhouse on the streets of Kenosha was “hyperaggressive” that night, threatened to kill Rittenhous...
No, neither deserved death if justice were served in a deliberate way. That is, had they not been shot, they would have faced some charges, not none d...
This conversation would be more meaningful if you read the facts. Instead it's just a continual correction of your factual errors. What data do you ha...
Bullets has just been fired, so your insistence that R just opened fire on a peaceful civil rights crowd doesn't reference this case. They were also t...
The protestors were armed as well. The first guy who got shot was next to a person who shot a handgun as they charged him and the third guy who got sh...
This isn't the survey result that applies to the questions within this thread. From the same survey: See #21. /uploads/resized/files/mc/w0cauupilluk0m...
If we're all one race, there can't be racism of course, but the evil is classism, with skin color just being an easy way to classify people as inferio...
The Wisconsin law allows a minor to possess a rifle as long as it's a certain length, so he violated no law there. The first shot fired was by a pursu...
I don't believe race based lynchings have anything to do with honor issues. Honor killings arise after insult of integrity, like occurred in Hatsfield...
Well, that is the Kantian position. I tend to believe a causative link between the thing and the experience. So, if the flower is knowable, it can onl...
None of this makes much sense. That nothing can exist external to the world is tautological, considering "the world" is being referred to as all that ...
Two great books I read on this: Cracker Culture and White Trash. Cracker Culture describes the Celtuc culture, its roots, and its impact on the south....
This is not how I understanf the honor culture to be. My understanding is that it is most prevalent among the Celtic settlers in the US, not of the En...
