Salty. I declare myself enlightened, ethical, dispassionate, and whatever medals you pin on yourself. That was a really good exercise in self congratu...

Oh come off it already. Your bitching about the injustice on this Board is your least endearing trait.

I found this story very encouraging: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/06/06/third-london-attacker-named-as-imams-refuse-to-perform-funeral-rites.html

Yeah, well I don't have a mom either because she died a long time ago. Unbelievable that you'd bring that up. You sunk this to a whole new level.

I enter the Nile in Uganda, which is 85% Christian. They also have really good locker rooms where you can keep your shit while you're wading around pe...

That's not trolling. That's just something I do when visiting the Nile.

American involvement in the Middle East is explainable not only in terms of its ideological differences with other Western nations, but more so in ter...

To clarify then as to my retort: If dealing with a specific incident of loss, I would not be the proper person to evaluate what ought be done to remed...

What's the difference? Of what value is the objective morality if we're all too biased to see it?
June 05, 2017 at 19:38
I knew we'd arrive here sooner or later: Moral relativism. Who am I to say that my way of life is superior to another's. Do we need to now debate the ...

I guess that's true, but sometimes terrorists aren't entirely honest in speaking about their intentions. I would assume many terrorists speak of some ...

The typical way we evaluate matters is to find an unbiased, unaffected person to do the evaluating. I think by making me the victim of the attacks, I'...

To be fair, the past participle of the infinitive "to go" is gone, not went, which you correctly conjugated later in the sentence.

Good point. Since the vast majority of Germans were peaceful, we shouldn't have declared war on them in WW2.
