But that's not what I asked. Are you now going to start posing random questions to yourself and answering them? If you asked me what kind of shirt I w...

Nor did I quote you as having said "proper," so I'm not sure what you're defending yourself against, nor am I even sure you know what you're defending...

As to where you're saying its improper to regulate free speech generally: As to where you're saying it is proper to regulate contracts specifically: D...
January 18, 2019 at 20:17
Yes you are. You're saying that it's improper to regulate free speech generally, but that it's proper to regulate contracts specifically. Since contra...
January 18, 2019 at 19:46
I said that in my post, so I'm not sure why you're repeating it. The question I asked was what makes dishonest contractual utterances properly subject...

What is the distinction, that one is uttered and one written? What of oral contracts? Why should I be expected to trust a statement that meets the def...

This is a dubious empirical claim. You're saying that if we allow people to lie with impunity, we will have a more dependable society because the heig...

So let's say you run a restaurant in town and I'm your competitor, so I send out mailings and publish advertisements saying that you serve dog meat, y...

No. The law is well developed in the area of slander and defamation related to private causes of action against private harm. As to whether the govern...

How could your cat not be black in another possible world? I get how you might have adopted a white cat in this world had you so chosen, but I don't u...

Point me to where Kant says this. I think you're making Kant an indirect realist here, suggesting that we experience phenomena that in some how relate...

My writing tends to degenerate into absurd perversion, slowly reducing its appeal until I'm the only one interested, at which point I know I've won.

No they don't. Bless your heart.

Aren't you precious. Most couldn't pull off talking about someone's mother, but look at you. You are something special.
January 12, 2019 at 23:35
Bless your heart. You are a clever one.
January 12, 2019 at 21:31
Very interesting.

Lecture I, page 28. I was just reading that part. I'm behind, catching up.

Are you saying that burning creates a tolerance to future generations of vegetation until one day there will be burn resistant vegetation? If that wer...

You kill the fleas by giving the pets those pills that make their blood flea poison and your animals then become flea killing machines. That's what I ...

I think this is an amazing quote: Today is a gift and yesterday is past. That's why we call it a past present. I got another one. Time has passed sinc...
January 11, 2019 at 14:34
I'm not sure what you're arguing here, but it seems to be that reality is just a matter of perspective, perhaps denying an objective reality. You'll h...

We have words for all those things too, they just contain more letters.

Presentism versus eternalism, which is correct and why?

It might just be that each punch mark in the drywall documents not fleeting individual frustration but cumulative lifetime frustration that just now a...

I did proof read it after I wrote it. Why? Did you notice an error?

Once I was trying to start my weed wacker and I kept pulling the starter and it wouldn't start until finally I pulled something in my shoulder, so I t...

According to the website, in December 2020, the cheap power becomes available for purchase. I'll go ahead and prepay for mine by sending my money to t...

Sorry about your monkey. My pet monkey got chased up a tree by a cobra, met a sloth, fell in love, had kittens, lost his foot to diabetes, and died pe...

Yeah, that's a thing. Under stress, women self destruct while men destroy all that's around them. Teenage boys don't cut themselves, they knock holes ...

A lot of haters here. Your assignment is reasonable, interesting, and doable. I'd start by Googling your topic ("Nietzche's influence on Hitler" - a l...

Answers to what is the question though. Religion doesn't provide better answers to the question of what the earth was like a million years ago, but it...
January 08, 2019 at 20:39
If that were the case, then religion would no longer exist, yet it persists. Science provides all sorts of information about how the world works but p...

When I was a wee lad, my head no higher than a grasshopper, barely able to see above the blades, there was a family with a pet turkey, who I shall tod...

Wha? Who's talking about dicks? I was talking about your gimp arm.
January 07, 2019 at 14:12
Well, you just have to think it through more thoroughly, as in the appendage is useless for how it was originally intended, but since it's there, it m...

Who holds Ezekiel to be the inerrant word of God, though? That claim is usually limited to the 5 books of Moses, and even then, few sects even allow f...
January 02, 2019 at 19:40
That's not a contradiction. Just because God was all up in someone's face doesn't mean they saw him.
January 02, 2019 at 19:36
Not having a heart full of love I suppose, I read yours as a tale of irresponsibility, self indulgence, ironic arrogance (which still persists), and a...

Not at all. You're consistent only in your negativity toward America, but inconsistent in this debate. Your position was that an American charitable g...
