Please. I'm an example of a really funny conservative. I've got amazing material.

I really do find liberal comedians unfunny.

The small sticks came from the branches that came from the trees that came from the ground that came from the earth that came from the sky that came f...

Much of what you said isn't interesting. Your experience offers me nothing because it is obviously considerably less than and different than mine. Wha...

You might be incompatible for any reason, which might include that the person doesn't satisfy some utilitarian purpose , that you don't share common m...

But, as you said, there are plenty of abusive partners who are trustworthy and committed, but they're not good people. I was in a relationship that I ...

Hah! I get a gig where I am. It's so fast, I post things before I type them.
August 24, 2017 at 05:38
That explains why I've been looking for a dead person to be my wife. (Sure, a little dark). I have a real question. If you found the perfect woman, wh...

Years ago when coaching 8 year olds in soccer, Keith kept throwing small sticks at Anthony, so I made Keith sit out, and so he sat on the cooler and c...

First we douse you in gasoline.

A good woman is not one who you break up with and camps in her car outside your house for hours until you call the cops. All others are just dandy aft...

I am quite the charmer I must say.

What about a massive schlong? Surely that plays some role in what constitutes a proper gentleman. If not, I fear I might not be so proper after all.

Let's discuss a resolved problem in philosophy and see if anyone can get the answer right.
August 22, 2017 at 21:34
Yeah, but we agree to this point entirely. The "external world" as you use it is the noumena, as I've said, and positing any meaning or relevance to i...

The "alternative" is that they do not adhere to the scientific method. If these alternative treatments were scientifically shown to work, they would t...

An entire website dedicated to this question of the legitimacy of chiropractic care: http://www.chirobase.org/
August 22, 2017 at 13:14
This just makes no sense to me. You can't say it's not about perception, but only about meaning, when the only meaning you're interested in is the mea...

Chiropractic is pseudo-science.
August 22, 2017 at 12:31
By this account, you've identified 3 levels of reality: (1) what you experience, (2) what immediately causes the experience (you call this "the simula...

My son had an ROTC roommate also. He got up really every morning and woke him up.
August 21, 2017 at 15:46
Yeah, but they didn't teach me how to negotiate with cats. I'm talking literal cats here, so keep your mind out of the gutter.
August 21, 2017 at 14:45
No, we actually got the kind of mattress that only dad can figure out how to carry up the stairs. I actually am indebted to this mattress for having p...
August 21, 2017 at 14:44
Well, it may or may not. We just don't know. In fact, we can't even comprehend the world outside the simulator. It's the noumena.No. The cupboard is c...
August 20, 2017 at 14:21
The world is the simulation, composed of the simulated facts transmitted by the simulator and the simulator itself, which is the independent metaphysi...
August 20, 2017 at 13:06
You're refusing to define the simulator. In our community of observors, we take note we see things. We must therefore ask ourselves why. Instead of ag...
August 20, 2017 at 12:49
P has a truth value at all times, you're just misapplying the rules of the direct realist on the indirect realist. If you ask an indirect realist if t...
August 20, 2017 at 12:30
I understand your distictions, but I'm saying they're irrelevant. What you're saying is P is true if P corresponds to X, where X is some event indepen...

My cat is kneading it's claws in my chest and my dog is whining on the floor because she wants up in the bed. My efforts at negotiating aren't working...

Speaking of mattresses, I bought a mattress for my son and the morons who strapped it the top of rental van didn't do it right, and it caught some win...

Motivation is driven by your emotions, both being of the same root, and both referencing what moves you, both physically and emotionally.
August 20, 2017 at 04:30
I see no distinction between the simulation and the external world. The simulation is the shared reality, making it external to to each person sharing...
August 20, 2017 at 02:47
A person has a consciousness and a brain. That is a reasonable division of a person into 2 seperate parts. Your position I take it is that those two p...

You sort of made this up. There's no way to know that the first man did. I remember when my kids were little, I would point to things and they'd look ...

I never provided you the first hint, so I don't know why you ask that I provide you more. What I said was: "I'm only disagreeing with you to the gener...

Telling someone not to make a mountain out of a molehill is not preaching apathy; it's preaching perspective. I'm not suggesting that you were wrong i...

My thought is that Kevin ought be banned. Whether others ought be offered an opportunity to publicly lambast him seems a pretty silly question in ligh...
August 17, 2017 at 13:02
And here you admit to what Agustino denies, which is this thread is about Mongrel. As since it obviously is, it doesn't belong on this site. This is a...
August 17, 2017 at 01:49
The OP is a thinly guised attack by Agustino on Mongrel. He today asks that a rule be formalized that decrees Mongrel's past behavior an official tran...

The "lemonade" will cost you your teeth. You can pay now or just slowly pay over time.

My real name is Rumpelstiltskin. Duh.

I'd agree with all you say regarding your superiority but for your sunken beady myopic eyes, capable of seeing nothing but the twisted florescent pris...

You're just saying the smarter guy is always going to prevail. Given two people, one with a highly refined skill set and the other who's just really b...

I got a better one: A man walks into a bar. His alcohol dependency is tearing his family apart.
