You're not arguing against dualism at all, but are arguing in favor of it, in particular property dualism, unless you have now changed your position. ...

Well, I can't have that! I'll actually try to respond to the concerns here within the context of the debate. It's good feedback.

In your quest to defeat my distinction between the two substances, you unwittingly argue against your own position. Don't lose sight of the fact that ...

A most inadequate reply. My position is that of substance dualism, meaning that I contend that mental states (among other things) are composed of the ...

I went on Google Maps and apparently it logs everywhere you go every day. I didn't know that. Turns out I go to only like 5 places and I'm really bori...

I know, right? We create a thread with low standards so the only way they can violate it is to have a real debate.

I don't know. I think a law without a remedy is only a recommendation. It reminds me of the exclusionary rule declared by the US Supreme Court for unr...

Substance dualism, the anachronistic position held by the few true remaining Cartesians, has largely been replaced by property dualism, a position tha...

The US had unlimited access to Iraq once it invaded and no WMD were found. WMD are like Bigfoot. Without proof of them, we can say they don't exist.

There's a difference between an inept police force and an intentional decision not to enforce the law. There's a significant difference, for example, ...

No. There were no WMD. There were some decades old remnants, but nothing that posed a threat. Why didn't the US take out Iran? That seemed the more si...

No it doesn't.

Just as observation. You're not going to convince an American that they are subject to world opinion or international law to the extent it violates it...

It's national in your face day. Well lookee here. You've got the Americans and the Irish, all your former subjects, talking smack now.

Yes I was. I didn't mention Iraq.

Never understood why you call soccer football. A football is something thrown with your hands.

Addressing only the analogy, are you arguing that we can't look at the result (i.e. the dead victim) when assessing whether our decision to throw the ...

Obama, Obama, Trump, Trump, some Biden. Those are the administrations since GW and the Gulf War. Can y'all talk about

As to whether I'm certain the part I just bought for my ac will fix it? No. I think it will. Will everything work out of it doesn't? Yes. I'm certain ...

The love I might have for someone can be dependent upon the love I have for her body. Romantic love and physical attraction are related.

This, for sure. Your song is something uniquely Australian that I don't get. It's bluesy rock light dance music with a doo wap throw back feel where t...

Accent, word choice, grammar, speed of conversation, sentence structure, tone, and all sorts of things convey information far greater than the simple ...

You're no hippie, just a pessimist.

Never heard it before. An Ausssie classic I'm to learn, where you dance to it with your pants around your ankles. I give it a 6 on the 10 point cool s...

OBJECTION! I never waive an objection.

This isn't really an observation., it's a tautology. If green beans are the only meaning of life, then a life without green beans is totally meaningle...

The general rule is that we don't speak ill of the dead. Just as an end zone dance can be seen as gloating, dancing on someone's grave is that but muc...

I don't accept it.

Oh come on! There's no way this is an accidental Freudian slip where you actually reference Freud and then say "dyke" (a lesbian) but mean to say "dik...

Mixed spas are a European thing. We're much more uptight over here. It's a thing.

Another slice of Americana. What does it mean if you call someone an "Eddie Haskell," or if you tell someone they've been Eddie Haskelled?

So now you know Otis. Another great character, Ernest T. Bass: /uploads/resized/files/ad/nrjxyutbrwzaarxl.jpg

Anyone old enough or American enough to know who my avatar is?

The like/dislike should be attached only to the post liked or disliked like on Facebook as opposed to.the cumulative thing we're doing ike on Yelp. @"...

I did qualify my comment by saying that studies that don't strictly follow accepted methodology are less reliable, but I wouldn't say worthless. For t...

Not sure what this means. For a study to be scientific, it would need to follow accepted scientific methodology which would include peer review and du...

Our relationship with living creatures is inconsistent all over the place. We kill rats with a passion if infesting our house, but bury our dead gerbi...

This post better belongs here

I'm a straight very very hot young female, so duh.

It's me actually, but looks a lot like Pam Anderson in the good old days.

I do go to Amazon, but it doesn't have that on my front page. It has chainsaws, shotguns, and cowboy boots. I think it designs the front page based up...

Is it hot in here? I'm feeling crazy hot. Not sure what came over me.

I wish to thank @"jamalrob" for reinivogorating the site by putting the Shoutbox back on the main page and inserting the likes back in. Entertaining s...

Why do you read the LGBT makeup reviews on Amazon? Shopping?

Thank you for tossing the question back to me. As a fellow American, I do believe I can better decipher the question asked, which essentially asks how...

I'd be more interesting to only have downvotes.

All these distinctions can be sorted out, but I'm not really buying into all these hyper-technical definitions of terms, as if they are specialized te...

That's a confusing statement. Gender dysphoria means that your internal gender identification is opposite from your physical gender. You're saying tha...

I think a "not" is missing in this post, right? At any rate, that's a confusing stance because there are many transsexuals who choose not to have surg...
