From this day forward, that song shall be the only song I shall hear on days that I break my tooth on a chicken wing. There is a demand for Sunday den...

Actually, yes. Under the replacement terms, you are to report to Atlanta and the hot African American chick is being sent to your house. She will assu...

I went to a philosophy meet up group last night. One guy showed up 30 minutes late and interrupted the speaker and asked for a quick summary of what h...

You'll be banned.

Not sure, but I live nearby and will check it out.

John, If it is as I recall, I deleted the thread advancing the view that whites are smarter than blacks. The reason I gave was that it violated our an...

The point remains that you can't have a photon at rest. It must travel at the speed of light. For that reason, you're not making an empirical claim wh...

Ok, m=e/c2, so once you've arrived at e, we can go back and find m.

My understanding is that this is all a hypothetical construct. A massless particle refers to its invariant mass, meaning its mass independent of motio...

This just seems like an irrelevant quibble. There are mental states and non-mental states, one is made from X, the other Y. Why do I care if X and Y a...

My post a year ago was so memorable that you were able to find it?

Surely we all understand the difference between an intentional act and an accidental act regardless of whether it can be successfully argued there is ...

Right, misreport the facts to a group already skeptical of the media in order to gain credibility regarding a subject they're already skeptical about.

It's a sweater, not a jumper.

You guys and your analogies. God is a nebulous concept no matter how you slice it. It ought be more like a whore's vagina, warm and receptive to all c...

This analogy is incomplete because ketchup provides a benefit in certain situations, like on fries. What you mean to say, just to be consistent with y...

That depends upon how strictly you define religion. AA and many other 12 step type programs place reliance upon a higher power. These programs exist t...

Corporate bullshit. Tell me about it.

You missed the subtext. I referred to the significance of faith and then said "that" book. You changed it to "a" book.

I accept the distinction between pleasure and happiness, but also realize the ascetic isn't necessarily more happy than the moderate who isn't necessa...

I was too obtuse.

You don't get to define the composition of angels. I think angles are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. I once made love to an angel. I kno...

Some can have no sex and still have a kid, or so the story goes.

I think all demons are men too. Women don't get to be super evil or super good. They just get to serve as temptresses, but ultimately it seems like it...

The party does look off the chart, but calling those folks goof offs doesn't do them justice. This looks like a big money event, from the props, to th...

So there's an annual post apocalyptic swimsuit model convention in the desert. Who'd have thunk?

The problem with the article (as Michael pointed out) was that a pastor was quoted as lamenting the fact that more gays weren't killed in Orlando. He ...

I'm generally unsympathetic toward the anti-religious crowd. They present an unnuanced account of something much more complex than they're willing to ...

Promote me from mod to admin.

Work on your reading comprehension. I said that there was a ban, a few folks complained, and those that mattered (as in those who could lift the ban) ...

So, I asked TGW to follow the rules, he said no, I asked nicely again, he ignored me, and so he got banned. This decision resulted in no backlash, but...

Suppose someone actually arrived at the purpose of life and typed it right here for all to see. I'd have a whole new respect for this forum. We'd have...

And yet another non-sequitur.

Of course. Thank you for the nonsense response.

Your position that living things share absolutely nothing in common with nonliving things is untenable as is your definition of living things to the e...

If there are no similarities between dead things and living things, then if I die, how would you know it was me who died? Probably you'd know by notic...

Machines are part of nature.

You claimed there were quite literally zero similarities between minds and computers and here you point out that plants and rocks are distinguishable,...

They are both composed of matter.

Reminder to self: Use scoop from now on and wash hands afterwards.

Suppose you created a random number generator that was affected by the position of an electron on the quantum level. It's exact position is indetermin...

I don't really see any of this as a game in terms of it being a fair contest where there can be a meaningful winner. It's really just social interacti...

That there was a preceding chain of events is obvious, but that doesn't mean the earlier state caused the subsequent state. That is, universe at state...

It was painful hearing about McGregor's life, having been filled with one idiotic Gaelic word after another.

It's all corrupt. The most money is made on a McGregor win so there can be a rematch for even more money; ergo, McGregor wins.

And now begins the strawman attacks on my brand of conservatism, as if there is any way you could possibly infer my thoughts on issues I've never disc...

This seems a bit tautological though. As a couple increases its level of commitment, the likelihood of divorce decreases, where "commitment" is define...

Your attack on all those who you claim aren't "real" Christians isn't terribly Christian. All (as in every single one) Christians fail to live up to t...
