He won the most powerful, coveted, and competitive political position in the world. If your criteria for determining a good politician doesn't heavily...
Similar goals does not dictate similar political views. We both may want cheap and high quality medical care (who wouldn't?), but we may still debate ...
Which was the impetus of my prior post. We can look at what we value, but we can't determine what has actual value from that because we seem to inhere...
If it's tied to needs (or wants), I'd argue it's not intrinsic, but dependent. That is, if my needs are better fulfilled by cheating, does justice now...
But why is that the central question, with "value" being a verb and not a noun. That is, why isn't the real question, what is value? To ask it as you ...
I'd offer a slightly different definition of "intrinsic value" as being that which has value in itself as opposed "to be desirable in and of itself. T...
Different in that it's quicker and cheaper because anyone with a car can sign up. You type in the app where you want to go, it gives you the price, ho...
In case I forget, I wanted to go ahead and wish everyone a bad Christmas. I hope it's filled with anxiety and awkward interactions, perhaps a signific...
A group of owls is called a parliament. A group of lizards is called a lounge. A group of sweet potatoes is called a brothel. A group of Badens is cal...
If there's a reason I use "2" and not "3" for 2, then "2" is not arbitrary. The definition of arbitrary is that it is not based upon a system or reaso...
I know, but you stripped the good Queen of all her power, so that now she's just a face for the tabloids like Paris Hilton, just not quite as interest...
I know it was rather shocking that Sapientia would imply such a thing. I would have shielded your ears from it, but it was written and you'd have read...
And by "sausage" do you mean penis and by "sweet potato" do you mean hole bored into the back of someone's skull? You're sick. Really fucking sick. Wh...
When I was in Bavaria, I enjoyed me many a sausage, less so while in Prague, and I never made it over to Poland, where I'm sure the sausage culture wa...
So you're telling me that you really love Polish sausage? That's what I took from this story, despite the distracting details you provided about your ...
I assure you that regardless of how adept or a not a cook you are, your cherry pie recipe will be very much appreciated and enjoyed. It's not that som...
I wonder what happens if a tie. Maybe nobody would win and they'd just go with one less seat, either that or maybe they'd share a seat and have to sit...
Sounds Polish to me. Sometimes I use Kielbasa instead of Andouille in jambalaya because it's not as spicy, so that's sort of a Polish Cajun, kind of a...
I'm not following your argument that "arbitrary" = "faith." I don't see the correlation and I don't understand why I can't accept that we use all sort...
This is wrong for a number of reasons. First, it suggests that the theist has some superior method of understanding God, as if the skeptic lacks the c...
I really don't understand this comment. I could draw you a unit circle, show you tangents and whatever else you need if you really want me to graph ou...
This isn't the starting point for a conversation about God, it's the ending point. What you've done here is no different than it would be if I simply ...
The problem is that you assume superiority in your position. It would make as much sense to argue that you should open your mind to the enlightenment ...
I don't see how this is analogous. Algebra and trigonometry do in fact have concrete references, and I agree that it's a poor way to teach to simply i...
When I was in Iceland, the food was really expensive, but they had this place where they served an all you can eat traditional Icelandic lamb stew. I ...
We call our yams sweet potatoes where I'm from. That is also what we call our women, at least I do. Well, I've now done it once, and I think the term ...
I determined once that the word with the most consecutive "e"s is treeeeest (tree-ee-est) (meaning to have the most trees), which would be used, for e...
The shared core argument you're making is the same flawed argument that gets dragged out in Philosophy 101 classes every semester as proof against mor...
