You speak such truth, but Instead of ridicule, might you instead reach below and hoist me out from the land that time forgot? Dish allows this magic t...

I had DirecTV and was due for an upgrade, and my basement TV didn't work because it used to draw off the box in the family room that got dismantled wh...

We should dispense with the formality of trying to make rules and move right to the business of insulting one another.

Fucking shush! To speak of them speaks of someone else.

The hyper-modern post figurative school would see only two pieces of juxtaposed steel on a street imposing a barrier to pedestrians and mentally noted...

You can spit you some rhyme.

I took it to mean that women, due to their inherent irrationality and childishishness stand in the way of a healthy bullish market and should therefor...

If symbolism is art, then all speech is art. You're a Nazi. I'll take that back if you take back calling me a white supremacist.

The intrinsic beauty of all art is held in its ultimate irrelevance. Carry on.

No, your tense is wrong. Do, not did. What I did yesterday existed, it impacted the present, but it no longer exists. The effects are still felt. If I...

I read up on this cite on Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tearoom_Trade), and it seems it rattled the profession not because of the focus of the s...

This is wrong. Jefferson actually wrote the Virginia law regarding the proportionality of punishment, holding that the highest form of punishment was ...

Your example offers 4 entirely different uses of the term "set," where there's clearly a similarity in the way I used "truth." In each instance, I use...

You're a fraud, and I don't mean that as an ad hom. I mean that you pontificate about so many subjects, but you aren't able at all to really respond t...

I have a right to be treated with dignity and you have a duty to treat me that way. And we can make it more clear than that. If you kidnap me and hold...

I think I do have a right to be treated with dignity though, and I'd hold that regardless of whether the government agrees or whether the government a...

Instead of moderating this thread, maybe respond to the fact that you pontificated on Jefferson's opposition to the death penalty despite the fact tha...

You say that because you insist that there is no other way to define natural rights other than the way Locke did, which isn't directly related to this...

That's a quibble really. I think it makes perfect sense to say "I have a right to be treated with dignity" as much as it is to say "You should treat m...

Please don't deprive Baden, he spoke impetuously. For me, just give him one more chance to drink of your wisdom.

I know. It's a mystery how something so incoherent can be a centerpiece to a belief system.

This strikes me as a very non- Mormon comment. I'd expect their response to be that you've chosen to misinterpret the meaning of the trinity. I suppos...

Funny you should ask this during Passover, which celebrates the Jew's exodus from Egypt. So the story goes, the Jews were held in slavery by the oppre...

Non-legal rights are just another way of saying what morality requires, but I don't see the quibble over whether to call them "rights" or not is signi...

But can't there be an unjust government and unjust laws? If so, it seems the government and laws are being judged by a higher authority.

No, many cultures don't accept monotheism. It's even arguable that Christianity isn't monotheistic entirely, especially Mormonism.

She lives on through the seeds of kindness she sowed during her life.

What the good Ms. Rand said was that charity wasn't a moral virtue, not that it was immoral. That is, you are under no obligation to give, and you're ...

The problem is that many societies don't accept that there is only one god. How can there really only be one god that is identified across all societi...

That doesn't answer the OP though anymore than did Ernest when he itemized the different types of truth. As Ernest begged the question of "what is tru...

The Fonz is timeless.

True.

He wasn't ridiculing you for suggesting there were exactly 3 forms of truth, but for suggesting there was more than one truth.

There's not, but were you able to decipher the meaning of truth by the presentation of the sub categories of truth? I wasn't. At best, I was provided ...

Interesting dissertation on the types of truth, but ultimately non-responsive to the OP. The question was what is truth, not what are the types of tru...

Dude should've walked the dog is all I can say.

That's because our roads and big and wide with all sorts of safety rails, so people drive crazy fast. When your roads are steep and winding and your o...

I'm not sure where you live, but I've heard him too. He keeps sneezing over and over. The birds were chirping this morning, and so I quieted them. htt...

So, to clarify: I asked: Why do you say that Locke's theory of natural rights prohibits the death penalty when Locke himself specifically said it didn...

I take this as the stage theory: As I sit here typing, my existence is infinitely small in terms of space and time and the only thing I can say is tha...

1. You stated that the death penalty violated natural rights in opposition to Locke, the person cited for your authority on natural rights. 2. You off...

Yet Jefferson was specifically in favor of the death penalty. http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/amendVIIIs10.html As was Locke: At the...

Over and over you miss the point. We can all agree as to the idea that there is a natural law, inalienable, and bestowed by God, and we can all agree ...

The distinction isn't between natural and constitutional law, but it's between natural and positive law. It's entirely possible to interpret the Const...

I'm not sure if you're purposely evasive or just not following the question. We all understand you shouldn't abort a person. The question is when does...

You didn't answer. You never do. In fact, my last question enumerated questions with the request you provide enumerated responses. As anticipated, you...

Again, entirely unresponsive. Quoting long passages of some paper you wrote is a waste of space. What you've not responded to is: 1. Why viability def...

This begs the question entirely and it is unresponsive to the entirety of this discussion. The question is "what is a child"? You have argued a fetus ...

Putting a concise summary at the conclusion of your post was helpful. Thank you.

Natural rights theory doesn't mandate defining personhood at viability. Here you just adopt the Roe v. Wade reasoning. A fetus at the age cited has on...
