Familial interdependence is not based on a quid pro quo but on emotional attachment. It's doubtful family ties would maintain purely out of a sense of...

A child is to be raised to be a good person, not as a potential safety net if your life takes a downturn. I'd expect a good person would care for his ...

Sure, except now everyone on the right is known as a racist by the left.

A child should be treated neither like a partner nor a slave, but like a child.

It is not heroic to speak up every time you disagree with someone. Sometimes you really aren't the most important person in the room. You can be civil...

Sure it is.

Same response. To the extent I'm a hypocrite or a scoundrel of any type is irrelevant to my comments in this thread.

Be sarcastic, but it doesn't change the fact that "Why are you being an idiot?" is just as much an ad hom is "you're an idiot" (and, no, I'm not calli...

Now you are.

My point is that she didn't respond to the substance of the post. If all she was saying is "you suck," then I'm saying she's not responsive.

Bad characters can speak the truth.

Your post is just ad hom. Let's assume the hypocrisy exists as you assume. So what?

I prophesized that you were going to say that.

My question wasn't sarcastic when I asked if the movie was sarcastic. It seemed they were parodying the idea of Japanese mastery by applying it to a b...

Was that sarcasm?

The whole legalization of cannabis thing has gone farther than I thought it would. It's not just that you can buy the plant, but you can buy all sorts...

This one looks interesting.

My problem with the Matrix movies is I don't know if you're real or are part of the Matrix, so I'm not sure who or what I'm responding to. In truth, I...

I can't say that I've ever offered unsolicited advice to prospective parents about how they ought to raise their children, and I'm not sure how well r...

Why all the requirements that I be a highly educated? I just want to come over and see what happens, maybe find a job here or there, and take advantag...

Can you sponsor me?

Your immigration laws are too strict.

Except that this is an Arizona problem, not a national problem because plenty of other states have competitors.

Maybe it's just not profitable for the carrier so they go to states where they can make more money.

I'm the funniest one here. Just ask me.

I'm now to learn that I was part of an elaborate court packing scheme as opposed to my simply having asked to moderate. Nope, no conspiracies. You'd b...

Except I don't roughly have the same views as any other moderator on here. I voted for Trump after all. I know that's an odd fact I have to throw out ...

I do feel I've been a bit lazy. If I ban you, will that be enough work for the day to keep me aboard?

What you should realize is (1) any forum dedicated to the humanities will likely be left leaning, (2) any English speaking site that doesn't originate...

If he's so inept, why is his first name President?

But you said "Science is very successful when directed outwards to the world of objects. But directed inwards at the subject that is (or isn't) scient...

Psychology isn't unique in it's reliance upon subjective history. Typically the first question asked of any patient is to ask where it hurts, and it's...

Your question assumes that an element of happiness is not a greater knowledge of the truth. It's reasonable to argue that happiness is attained throug...

Sorry for the setback. There will be brighter days. I generally rely upon the principle of sour grapes when such things happen. The new job probably w...

Love is never foolish, and I'd resent the implication if I weren't generally apathetic.

Well, it would deal less with questions of fact than of preference or opinion. Let us suppose you are married (it's a hypothetical, so anything can ha...

Your kicks feel like a gnat landed on my knee.

For reasons that are none of your God damn business (so butt the hell out), I once saw a therapist who pointed out very quickly that I was overly non-...

I don't disagree with Jamalrob's advice, but I'd also suggest that sometimes you've got to move on, whether it means breaking up with someone, finding...

If he'd have poured a cheap imitation into the Kikkoman bottle, you wouldn't have noticed the difference.

What business were you compelled to vote for? Let's vote for more government control because that'll end well.

And we vote for limited government because we distrust government.

I particularly like the line, "I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind." But, sh...

Such was the attire of the adults, but the teens wore a guard over the right testicle, and the youth a full shield adorned with their family coat of a...

Everything Is Meaningless 1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: 2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meanin...

I have many a lady, some called Sally, some called Lucy, but most called Hillary.

As if you've ever played a sport with a ball and are qualified to use that analogy. I'll have you know that a swift kick to the shin while completely ...

The issue isn't xenophobia generally, it's fear of very specific immigrants, not all immigrants. And, it need not be labeled a phobia unless the fear ...

Bring it on whipper-snappers.

Let me allay your fears. I am not retiring, and I remain an incredible physical specimen, being able to run hundreds of miles, lift thousands of pound...
