So, which shows did the libs like and which did the God fearing like?

I think it's been clarified here that there is a distinction between inductive and deductive logic, with the former allowing for probabilistic conclus...

Almost 2 million irrelevant signatures. Keep up the good work! The typical response of the left is to appeal to their inept government for help instea...

I think if you were to sort through the old testament, the question of what is an idol is pretty clearly defined as an actual graven image, and there ...

The typical way that the federal government imposes its will on the states is by withholding federal funds on some unrelated issue (like highway funds...

I don't recall whining. My position is that abortion ought to remain legal in most circumstances it already is, that Roe v Wade is judicial creation n...

Unless that boy keeps his finger in the lesbian's vagina, Denmark is going to flood.

But that is simple. It will be all red, without a trace of blue.

I think we need to have embedded poll options to get better data. For example, if I ask did you vote for Trump, then if you say "yes," I would then as...

There was no prize to be awarded; however, I would be happy to draw the winner a picture of her own choosing and I will upload it. Let me know what yo...

What was the prize for winning? I can't remember....

The results clearly indicate that the Atlanta Falcons will win the Super Bowl. That's American football, the sort where you can use your hands.
January 25, 2017 at 04:41
Does look like we're saying the same thing independently.
January 24, 2017 at 18:53
"Physically identical but not conscious" is in fact a contradiction unless you define it in a way that it's not. To a physicalist all the world is phy...

Here is the p-zombie argument: "According to physicalism, everything that exists is either physical or depends on what is physical. So if physicalism ...

Please, don't detract from this thread with pointless attacks on my integrity and heritage. If you could, just respond to the poll so that we can fina...

Do you think his real name is Scotty or they call him that just because he's Scottish, sort of like they call me Jew?
January 24, 2017 at 15:36
What is the distinction between the physical and non-physical?
January 24, 2017 at 15:35
I edited my last reply that you already responded to, so I wanted to alert you to that so that you'd go back and look at it and laugh really hard beca...
January 24, 2017 at 15:22
Is that the first premise, or should it be "If we can conceive of a p-zombie, then consciousness is not reducible to behavioral states." I don't see h...

The word "slave" comes from the word "Slav" because the Slavic people were enslaved so often over the years. It's for that reason that Slavs tend to b...

When you ask if it's ideological, I'd take that to ask if he thinks there is something per se unacceptable about China that makes him want to distance...

Trump has been President for only a few hours, so, yeah, it's a bit hard to fully assess. My guess is that it will be less drastic than GW's and more ...
January 24, 2017 at 03:53
So I'm listening to NPR today and this guy is explaining that Trump's attack on the media is damaging for at least two reasons (maybe more, I turned i...

You read Brothers Karamazov on your phone screen? Impressive.

Yes, but when I'm at the pub I won't pretend to be doing anything but being at the pub

I was delivering food to the homebound while you were changing the world complaining over a pint.
January 22, 2017 at 22:03
I actually think Fox' approach here is correct. The media needs to stop being the news and needs to just report the news. A neutral who defends itself...

Let us assume that 250,000 Trump protestors boarded either planes, cars, buses, and trains and made their way to DC and filled the hotels, restaraunts...

My name is Tater. I'm a simple toothless shoeless man who wants nothing more than a good woman and some duct tape.
January 22, 2017 at 02:26
I like the idea of spell-check renaming a child as the name is entered onto the birth certificate.
January 22, 2017 at 02:23
Trump never was part of the religious right. I doubt he attends church. He's no Christian and neither am I.

I bought a couch today from a man named Loren, a man so fat he carried a rag that he'd use to mop his fat head as he tried to sell me a warranty I'd r...

Guess my name.
January 22, 2017 at 02:10
I'll agree. He is such a poor representative of whatever it is he represents.
January 22, 2017 at 02:09
My name really isn't Gerald.
January 22, 2017 at 02:08
It's just too inaccurate to be clever.
January 22, 2017 at 02:04
I don't understand this part of the apocalypse. Why would the fact that there's no need for human brute force production methods impact the number of ...

Isn't all this the Cartesian evil genius question of your namesake?

For any specific set of causes, if there can be an infinite set of events that follow (as there's no reason to limit things to just 2 possible choices...

Is Mom a pharmacist?

Maybe he's referring to British money.

Always is.

I understand the two questions: 1. In an undetermined world, what makes it sometimes B and sometimes C? 2. In a predetermined world, what makes it alw...
January 13, 2017 at 15:32
And you'd have to also say that the cause of it being B and not C was nothing, which means that something was caused by nothing, meaning that there is...

Send one my way.
January 12, 2017 at 16:02
I don't see this as responsive to the ontological problem. In a determined world, A always causes B because of something. In an undetermined world, A ...
January 12, 2017 at 15:29
Does this not avoid the question of what caused A to cause B at T1 but it caused C at T2 despite T1 and T2 being exact states? If the answer is nothin...
