I liked this short story in that it was very short, it offered helpful advice, and it was written by someone other than @"Noble Dust". I give it an 11...
Very well written. I would describe it as a first installment of a seriel, where the mystery is set out at first and with each additional installment,...
My dryer broke, likely from a power surge from a recent thunderstorm. I took a string and tied it at various places throughout my garage, zigzagging a...
What's weird is that it's not divisible by 9. For that, the digits have to add up to a number divisible by 9. 7,722 would work. The answer would be 85...
I read this as the introduction of a character, maybe of the guy in Falling Down, but then it just sort of ends, the guy having lived out his boring l...
So the guy is watching TV and catches a blurb about some strange solar activity, then he has a scatterbrained talk about the end of time with his wife...
This threw me. Do you cease being a pedestrian when you enter a train now that you're no longer walking or do remain one because you walk about the tr...
This doesn't follow from Moore’s quote in the post above it. If Moore is adopting a Kantian view where he claims moral principles are synthetic, then ...
That's not how Moore describes the non-natural. Show me where non-naturalism is defined as having no effect on our lives. Non-naturalism is that which...
I'd be happy to read the stories to you, but only if I can sit bedside and do it in person. That way if you get sleepy eyed, I can just tiptoe out of ...
I know only one that it's not. The rest be buns I shall sort in search of yours and will undoubtedly know it when come upon. Tis now how I speak, bein...
But Moore holds that moral facts do matter because when people do as they ought to, societal good increases. So why does it matter if killing babies i...
And should he kill a man where he stands, where does he get tried? Might he stand in Arizona and smoke reefer while the condemning Mormons of Utah loo...
You're asking a question Moore doesn't ask. Again quoting from the article you cited: "In applying this view, Moore gave it the form of what today is ...
I liked how your nationality remained in flux with varying accents. I wasn't sure if you were in the plural like Joe was and there were many of you or...
To summarize, you are an Irish jar of octopus leading a pack of stray dogs named Joe through the empty streets of Thailand at half to midnight. Either...
No, what I was referencing was your misuse of language in order to compare the "genocide" and "concentration camps" of Nazi Germany to the current day...
I'm trying to make sense of it as well, and I don't know if I'm understanding it or just imposing some linguistic meaning = use philosophy into it. Th...
He does have a definition of "the good" from what I quoted above, but he claims it is undefined because he says there is no essential component to it....
Where are your buns at the moment and have they been injected with leavening agents yet? EDIT: This was intended for @"Noble Dust", but it makes even ...
Moore's view is this: "In applying this view, Moore gave it the form of what today is called “indirect” or “two-level” (Hare 1981) consequentialism. I...
Good one. Make me up a non-naturalst ethical theory. Would an example be ethical itemizationism? That's the belief that something is bad if it appears...
My point remains that the usage of the terms "concentration camp" and "genocide" has been and continues to be used to create a moral equivalency argum...
Meaning is use, and it's no coincidence that the language used to describe the Israeli response is intended to write an ironic and hypocritical narrat...
So you were the jar with an inner octopus. I see now. I had the jar as the external restraint on the octopi of humanity, which is also a good name for...
Speaking of roofs: Once I saw a beautiful woman on the roof, so I summoned her to my lair, but she was married. I impregnated her nonetheless, but I d...
We could create a review form and encourage all entrants and other interested people to fill them out as to each story. That would increase participat...
You seem to be describing a drama or perhaps something that wants to explore the inner workings of the character. The movie Airplane for instance, I d...
That deals more specifically with health insurance companies, and I can't speak as much to it. It's a very different industry, where quibbles over cod...
I'm not vouching for either claims adjusters, attorneys, judges, or juries. All do all sorts of wrong things. Do they train the adjusters not to retur...
What you need to understand is that the system does not work if there are not equally passionate people on both sides of the case. That is how our jus...
That's not just a gripe. That's a conversation ender. If you have an ethical position that lacks a definition of "ethical," then why should it come as...
And if there were a single instance where an injured person overstated his injuries and recovered as a result, then that too was monsterous. I guess. ...
