Descartes is underrated and underappreciated.

It could also be that my alleged offense was being mean and Question's was simply being useless. Being mean to me is therefore considered fair comupan...

I now fully understand your ban based upon your responses in this thread.

Is this an ethical question, as in what ought a moral government do, or is this an empirical question, as in after itemizing the structure of all worl...

All excellent points. The rules: a. The poster of the last word wins. b. A poster is anything that posts, unless that thing is something else. c. "Som...

Consider it a parable, not a paradox, that you shouldn't be an indecisive ass.

I guess, but I don't know any culture that has no work ethic, if for no reason than food doesn't just fall from the sky.

Well, to summarize here, I've taken a very strong stance against your stance that whether one is idle or one is constructive is irrelevant. My positio...

I like to keep people guessing. I understand we're faced with limited information and our opinions are no better than the information upon which they ...

I don't care if what I'm saying is fun to hear, and I think your defense of idleness is absurd, and really nothing more than a rationalization for doi...

Your situation is critically distinct as far as I can tell. You are self sufficient. To the extent you're not, you sell yourself short. Sure I'm judgm...

No interrogation. I was just pointing out to BC that your statement was ambiguous. I had my struggles in college as well, and there's much to be said ...

Been looking for a good troll. Know where I might find one?

Well, he didn't say he had a degree. He said he had been to college for a degree. Going and getting are two different things, but I leave the clarific...

It's impossible to know why they banned you without seeing their correspondence to you. It's also a stretch to assume that their standards would coinc...

Well, whatever the hell they are, they all dance the same when pelted with BBs.

Funny you should say that. I just got a ticket for hunting over bait because I put some nice stuff out by the curb on garbage night and was shooting B...

You can play in the sprinkler and pretend you're in the Caribbean. It's sort of the same. I'll buy you a 5 pack. One's for me.

So ironic. The process is tough if you follow it, but really easy if you don't care.

I know, right? You can come too. In fact, I'm going to need a new roof soon, and I'd like nothing more than hearing your footsteps above me while drin...

If you're in Atlanta, stop on by.

Good point. We're all enigmatic at some level I guess.

And I missed the Witt reference, but I do agree with him regarding getting a job. You're not bowing down to corporatism, capitalism, conservatism, rel...

Porters annoy me, offering to do what I can do myself just for a tip.

This provides a pretty good summary, caricatures to be sure, but it makes both of our points: https://youtu.be/n9huSs0g67c Also... You have to be a ce...

"Matters" in the sense that what you say will doubtfully matter in terms of bringing about meaningful change, not that people don't matter. It's possi...

I was philosophizing, which isn't a pragmatic exercise, but an academic one. Embrace him, reject him, help him, offer criticism, it hardly matters. Do...

Trumpish. Funny insult. Anywho, this has actually become a thread about what constitutes a dick and whether I fulfill those criteria.

Your mother's reliance on you is unfortunate, an outgrowth of the blurring of child and parent roles, necessitated by the absence of your father. Your...

I'm not so obtuse as to not realize my harshness, but I'm also not so unkind as to deny an unparented child very (and I mean very) basic parenting. Wh...

Oh please. Save the psychoanalysis. I have two well adjusted kids, both succesful. I'm very hands off on the minutia, the opposite of the tiger parent...

Yes, you're right. He should earn minimum wage and let mommy care for him forever.

Here we go again...

Amen.

I do care and I do know what I'm talking about. I have kids around you guys ages. Coddling them would be a recipe for disaster. You guys sound like a ...

Thanks for the kind words. Despite all my failings whatever they may be, I take nothing back from what I've said. We live in a world where fatherhood ...

Note, though, that "ontological probability" is not a term I used. I would refer to ontology as the current state of being, which would describe Schro...

My cat and I are very close I'll have you know.

You're not stressed because you have no real responsibility or accountability. Worst you can do is damage a plant. Sure, lash out when I tell you to g...

It's much funnier to call someone a retard than to call him retarded. Everyone knows that. Funnier still is to say "Everything what you say is retarde...

I don't see the irony. Atheism isn't a lack of belief generally, but a lack of belief in God, so it is admittedly a belief system. If I don't believe ...

I think you should get a real job so that you can support yourself and not live with your mother. Where's your father who ought to be telling you this...

Which is to admit this is all an epistemological question and not an ontological one. That is, you're asking how accurate our knowledge is of an event...

The testing protocol was too controlled. What can be said is that under conditions X (where you use a spring mechanized flipping device that offers co...

With the understanding that retroductive reasoning is a type of inductive reasoning.

The scientific method is inductive in its entirety.

I was born in 1966, and the Smothers Brothers aired from 67 to 69, so I consider them formative influences. My dear mother would turn her back to the ...

I today coined the phrase "shitting in the ambiance" to refer to what occurs when the bathroom lightbulb burns out and you must light a candle. Feel f...

Some legal analysis: As to #1, a contract requires consideration, meaning there must be an exchange of something of value in order for a contract to b...
