We're all relying upon sources with far more evidence and expertise than us for our information here. These sources told me the virus was most likely ...

The question that T Clark could ask is why the prejudicial sterotyping of Southerners is acceptable but it wouldn't be for African Americans. Those re...

The Last Resort. The Eagles. One of their most overlooked songs IMO.

Not sure if your posts are dark comedy or unhinged tragedy, but whatever they may be, thanks for the well wishes. [

Let's debate the relevance of the color of the hare in the tortoise and hare parable.

If it matters to you whether Jesus was white, I'm thinking you probably weren't listening to him anyway.

A couple of weeks ago, I couldn't find gas around here anywhere. Maybe that's why.

I've already said that prejudice does not equate to immorality per se, so you're going to have give an actual contextualized concrete example if you w...

This is a moral discussion, right? We are trying to ferret out the good from the bad. Racists are prejudiced, having prejudged a person's ability base...

First off, I'm not sure what a "goal" is unless it's a law that requires that businesses adhere to certain climate change regulations. Generally, a pr...

So you do eat cock. Not terribly tasty I'm told. They're really tough. A castrated cock I'm told tastes much better, as in a capon.

I'd marry a Kardashian just so I could have a father in law with a vagina. Most people can't say that.

I like the unintentional use of "peace" here as opposed to "piece." Nice artistic error.

I don't question the objectivity of morals, but it doesn't follow that introspection, meaning reliance upon my own internal processes, cannot be a mea...

Fair explanation. Now explain your affection for dancing sailors.
May 25, 2021 at 15:50
You listen to dance music with some sort of Broadway dance routine going on with men in sailor suits and you condemn hippy music as shit? I don't unde...

The problem isn't that the lanes aren't clearly marked. The problem is that people won't stay in their lanes.

If EQ is quantifiable like IQ, the question is an empirical one. You just compare today's numbers to yesterday's. If EQ is a nebulous concept dressed ...

A tautology does say something. It defines.

Why is someone's illogical refusal to accept a logical conclusion a direct challenge to the legitimacy of the conclusion?
May 20, 2021 at 16:13
So what you've done here is to pull out certain types of offenses, namely property related ones, and declared them not subject to moral analysis. So t...
