Except we're not.

This just shows you that in America, even if you're just a crackhead, you can make a huge difference in the lives of millions of people.

I thought that natural rights theory answered the question of who a person was and who should be afforded rights? Why do you now withdraw from your al...

You consistently do not respond to the substance of posts and use every opportunity, regardless of content, to drone on about your supposedly perfect ...

The question being addressed was what the legal dispute centered around, not what you think it should center around. Your comment asserted what the de...

Exactly wrong. Roe v. Wade held specifically that the unborn child was not a person: "All this, together with our observation, supra, that throughout ...

I don't agree. From a legal perspective, the debate centers around the woman's right over her body versus the state's right to regulate. From a philos...

I don't see where you and @Cavacava are necessarily disagreeing. I would think most artists would intend that the viewer openly interpret the art and ...

Whatever you.
April 01, 2017 at 13:42
Fair enough. We needn't define every grade of anti-semitism (mild, moderate, severe, extreme, super extreme, super duper extereme...), but suffice it ...

The reason for sensitivity among Jews for issues related to the Holocaust isn't complicated and ought to be screamingly obvious. The reasons you are b...

In Atlanta, our road caught on fire and now no one can drive through downtown on the main thoroughfare. It'll take weeks to rebuild, so there'll be re...

True, but my understanding is that he was treated poorly last time he came to town as well.
March 30, 2017 at 21:02
Why are we now talking about holocaust denial? I don't remember that accusation being made. I also don't recall accusing anyone of ant-Semitism for an...
March 30, 2017 at 11:32
I realize you self declared this, but I was questioning it obviously. All I said in my post was that I'd stand by those who stood by me in their oppos...

Most interesting shit. Thank you. I bathe daily in the Nile, defacating, scrubbing, washing my clothes and dishes, all in one sitting. Cleanses my min...
March 30, 2017 at 01:54
Does anyone actually bathe in a bath house? It would seem there would be few bath houses because most people have running water in their homes and can...

What this means is that you wish to interject a non-sequitur regarding Israeli/Palestinian relations into the question of whether one should be oppose...

I can say for myself that prior to reading this thread, I was unaware of the Till tragedy, which means that but for Shutz' cultural appropriation or w...

I know, and everyone would bitch about the injustice and they'd make him a martyr.

A corporation must be a tool, considering it cannot do anything without human activity. That's a given. Why should people be limited in what tools the...

As I selflessly licked the constantly forming puss from my grandmother's glass eye, I heard one hand clap and so was enlightened.
March 28, 2017 at 03:15
That's obviously your choice, but it seems like such a waste to abandon a chance at true enlightenment when all that is required is the ingestion of a...

I believe we rely too much on sight and then sound, sometimes touch and maybe smell, but do you really know something before you taste it? I say not.
March 27, 2017 at 02:11
My dog had stink ear, which I first thought to be a metaphorical rejection of what she heard, but I learned later it was actually evidence of an infec...
March 26, 2017 at 21:50
And yet you withhold the verifications from us. Why? It was signed by "Trump Headquarters," as if that's some real entity. And now the conversation ha...

There are gay people in the dance department?
March 26, 2017 at 14:19
I think the problem is that philosophy is defined as the field of unanswerable questions, and so if a firm answer were given to a question, it would n...
March 26, 2017 at 05:20
Actually, I'd argue that the study proved dumb people are luckier than smarter people, thus the saying "dumb luck." It is most likely that the Heavenl...

A person named "Molly Crabapple" tweeted that this survey came from "Trump Headquarters." I think before carrying her tweet down to the Governor's off...
March 25, 2017 at 19:32
I don't think so. "Am I going to the store?" versus "Ought I go to the store?" seems to ask distinct questions. How do you derive ought from is?
March 25, 2017 at 18:16
What about "ought"?
March 25, 2017 at 18:09
It probably means they paid extra for the fringe. Maybe, or they thought you just wanted to talk so they let you and discounted your testimony to some...

I get called "Your Majesty" at work because of my intelligence, stellar work ethic, impeccable manners, angelic sense of grace, boyish good looks, and...

Dude, that was so me screwing with you not some actual UFO.
March 20, 2017 at 04:55
There is either a platypus in my pocket or not, so there's a 50% chance that I have a platypus in my pocket. Seems kind of high odds there. I either h...

This refers to self inflicted psychological suffering, but what of those whose pain arises from chronic, painful illness like cancer or true psycholog...
March 18, 2017 at 02:15
That would also exclude your discussion of the exploits of your promiscuous neighbor and any sort of real relationship advice. I realize that my posts...

Can't we just substitute the word "corporation" here with "employer." I don't really see why it matters how they've structured their business.
March 17, 2017 at 19:06
It's not so much reforming the role of corporations as it is the continued use of corporations for personal benefit. If a corporation uses its profits...

I read recently that the feeling of accomplishment by men in having their mate achieve orgasm served an important psychological function for men. Men ...
March 17, 2017 at 16:53
So, let's clarify. When you say fish taco munching, are you referring to the consumption of the Mexican treat of grilled meat and cheese in a warm cor...

Your point is that a baker can refuse to make gay wedding cakes, as long as it's the cake he refuses to make and its not the person he refuses to bake...
March 17, 2017 at 14:47
It's the slippery slope argument, although the slope is leaning in the opposite direction in reality. That is, we've gotten ourselves into a situation...

Hyena! I'm so glad you're back. Are you here to stay this time, are you going to mosey on again?
March 17, 2017 at 12:24
I actually read your post as Jamalrob did. If all you're saying is that it's wrong to insult people, I'd agree (although reluctantly because I do like...

They do fry Buffalo wings though.
March 16, 2017 at 17:24
Hot wings are fried chicken wings coated with hot sauce served with blue cheese and celery sticks eaten off the naked belly of a virgin.
