Your arguing for stricter gun control, like those opposing it, will have no effect on gun control laws. We make no difference here and therefore bear ...
If it's a cost benefit analysis you're looking at, then you can't make generalizations, but you have to look at the specific item being banned and ask...
Pertaining to this: I'll weigh in because I'm an expert in all that is American. So you know, when this issue first arose, I posted in the mod section...
The days of sneaking away someone's dad's Playboy seem like such innocent times compared to today's internet. Whatever damage he did by publishing his...
I'm interested in whether this is an empirical debate or whether it's purely an ideological one, with one side certain that the illegal immigrant prob...
I'm a guy. I find everything female attractive. Stop insinuating I'm gay. I call this "Morning Foot against the Backdrop of New Day Dawning." Enjoy. /...
Oh good Lord. What's your angle now? You self deprecate about your sexual prowess, you brag about your last gf being hot, and then you point out you'v...
I can't begin to tell you specifically what lurks in the mind of a woman, but I can attest to observing behavioral responses (some subtle, some very n...
I'd argue that a more serious challenge to our intellectual tradition than is a particular anti-evolution theory is allowing Wiki to authoritatively e...
As if you could remain undistracted while my impressive manhood made flowing, circling movements like a ribbon as I ran among the trees. I'm not sure ...
I know just what you mean. I had a roommate that I had thought was gay for some time and then I actually walked into the room when he and another guy ...
And how important is this empirical point to your general language theory? If I could know red prior to language, does your whole philosophy unravel? ...
Well, the self-exploratory question that you evaded was what your response to this says about you, and you should at least wonder why others aren't as...
Fair, but all of this is self observation, including your personal detest of self-pity and your hostile and unforgiving response to it, so much so tha...
I don't agree. His comical exaggeration of his abilities is consistent with low self esteem, and his desire for sympathy (which isn't manipulative, bu...
Small talk comes naturally to some, but is a learnable skill if not. Once you master it, it's really entertaining. You can get people talking about no...
I'm told monkeys are born with a fear of heights and snakes, and I can say that my sheepdog has a herding instinct that I certainly never taught him. ...
He said that one could distinguish between two colors but not know that one was red. I still don't know what that means. He's saying I can know that I...
Those who hold the bible is the word of God believe every word is impregnated with divine meaning and would therefore demand scholarly interpretation ...
My turn. No song memories, but you made me reminisce, and so here it is. I suppose this explains me as good as anything... I remember the long hot Geo...
See, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentary_hypothesis. The OT is a combination of a number of writings that were written over many years. By way...
I don't follow this distinction. If you can distinguish one person from the other, you must have an unspoken definition of person. The only distinctio...
I'd go further and suggest that all objects of perception contain indistiguishable elements of the synthetic and analytic. A bird flying overhead synt...
I don't see that as supportive of the idea that language is the primary determinant of knowledge, but only that culture, environment, language, and I'...
This really makes no sense. Are you suggesting that the Himba fail to see the full array of colors that you do because they live in a language deficie...
That (1) the cup is red and (2) you have an experience the cup is red. I learned #1 by seeing the cup. I learned #2 by your telling me. I have no way ...
And do you not concede though that when speaking of mental states versus external states that they are epistemologically distinct? I know the cup is r...
Disagree. Definitely on topic. The OP references "mechanism," which is his word for physicalism, which he then argues negates free will, all of which ...
Doesn't the atheistic monist have to deal with the same question of when consciousness (i.e. that something extra) begins and ends during a life cycle...
A monist can no more reject a distinction between a mental state and a physical state than he can a cat and a dog. They are different things. The prob...
