""From my perspective, this sentence is in English" is first person perspective. "I like ice cream" defines "like" as "from my perspective." The gramm...
Your test isn't whether it can be said in first person, but any person. This is because "person" simply references perspective. That is I/you/he likes...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotelianism#Islamic_world Guess you have to start reading. What is European culture? What food do they eat, language...
As another example of similar censuring, this time of a university law professor who used the N-word in class and later in the presence of a student, ...
Such has always been the case, just done with intuition and guesswork, using what limited information we have to make decisions about who to date and ...
Your value as a human being is unquestioned and infinite. I'm not challenging that. Your role as a worker bee has a specific amount of value. That is ...
I know what the Vatican is because I am generally educated, not because I've been there. As to my claims that it is tiny (it's 110 acres), it has a ve...
My point was that it was logically inconsistent to blame Americans for the sin of stereotyping when it comes to Muslims and then for you to openly adm...
Sure, there are those who live in reality and accept it for what it is and those who don't. You have utilitarian value as an employee, and it has to b...
This describes not only an unhealthy attitude of both the interviewee and interviewer, it describes a poor decision making process. I've been intervie...
My thoughts exactly. I was about to move it, but then I thought maybe there was some clarification that could leave it here. So, @"S" why is this here...
I can't excuse terrorism, regardless of whatever excuse a terrorist might provide, including the unpersuasive "you made me do it with all your hate" a...
Do you really think it's "most likely" our poster is a Christian terrorist, or is this post just more hyperbole devoid of philosophical or academic va...
I would agree that democratic rule is superior to theocratic rule. We really don't have current day Christian theocracies to use for comparison agains...
The psychologist fallacy, holding that it is an informal fallacy to assume your idiosyncratic psychological bias is shared by all: https://en.m.wikipe...
So rednecks are self sufficient and hard working and hippies shiftless, except the ones who aren't. What about blacks, Jews, and Asians? What does eve...
For the record, I was born in 1966, which makes me one of the first citizens of Gen X. As one of its eldest statesmen, I can say that it is was and re...
There was a very powerful anti-Vietnam movement throughout the war, which many would credit as hastening the end of that conflict. In fact, I'd say Vi...
I really don't know what you're talking about with this observation. Maybe you lay on us a joke you think super funny that the old people haven gotten...
The OP was referencing baby boomers, not those over 100 years old. As noted in the Wiki article, "Lynchings were most frequent from 1890 to the 1920s,...
It's not so much a question about whether I agree with Buckley or Chomsky. It's a question of whether they deserve special attention because of their ...
@"Ilya B Shambat" We've really left the topic. My original comments about the Swedes related to the incorrect statement in your OP where you over-gene...
They were probably not liked at one point when they were vikings, wearing those cool horned hats, wreaking havoc, raping and pillaging. Nowadays they'...
This is massive over-simplification, suggesting that the US, every country in west Europe, every former Soviet bloc nation, and the Jewish people all ...
The hubris is in self-declaring one's self an intellectual, suggesting one belongs in the court of philosopher kings. It is at the heart of liberal el...
Don't hate the haters. There's a certain joy in casting aspersion upon others. The disagreement I suppose is in what we each mean by "to some extent."...
Yes, that is true, the intent does matter. The intent to be reckless versus the intent to do actual harm does matter. In fact, the law respects as muc...
I know why you wish to absolve yourself of guilt, but I'm simply pointing out that the law follows the same logic that I do and it isn't just some arb...
It seems less relevant whether do-gooders are arrogant and whether do-badders and do-nothings are humble than whether good, bad, or nothing is being d...
No it's not. You chose to drink knowing it would compromise your judgment, so you're fully responsible for the mess you created. I suppose if you real...
As I see it, the distinction between patriotism and nationalism is one of oppression and control, with the former accentuating and promoting the posit...
I contend that patriotism was higher under Reagan and GW and that it is now more acceptable in the US to be critical of America within America, which ...
Where is the empirical evidence for the claim that patriotism or nationalism has increased under the current administration? Without it, this thread b...
The OP asks if bodybuilders are poor neurotic men, which logically asks three combined questions: Are they poor, are they neurotic, AND are they men? ...
Introducing names into this discussion tends to humanize the people we're talking about, and I'd rather think of them as hollow literary constructions...
You meet the rule perfectly. In my case, though, my ex is crazy, but I am lovely beyond compare, so there is at least one instance of the rule not bei...
An interesting distinction worth discussing. It might be that the universality of the rule is based upon reality. You have no counterexample, consider...
Something I need to tell you guys, and this is sort of important... I brought my dog inside and she smelled terribly of shit and upon exploration I no...
I do know what I'm talking about. I said she was crazy and you were an asshole, and you confirmed both of those things. I didn't say you didn't get al...
You're just reciting the universal rule that all ex-wives are crazy. The other side of that rule is that all ex-husbands are assholes. That's what the...
Everyone knows that men act differently than women. It's obvious. Other than certain outliers, little boys emerge from the womb acting differently tha...
