The majority did not, but to the extend that they did it's because the saw themselves constantly attacked for having reasonable opinions and he spoke ...
Sexuality is not identity. We're just going to disagree. You have no actual basis to make your claim, and realistically neither do I - but it stands t...
The fact that the first two posts were ridicule sucks. There's no defense for that on a forum like this. I like the brain-as-receiver model. I can't f...
No. No it can't. Most Germans were just trying to stay alive and were so fatigued by the war so far they just didn't care. The idea that 'most germans...
Correct. @"praxis" Outlander is right. You are wrong. There is no version of this where you can present non-chopped-up, manipulated excerpts to suppor...
Well yes, that is the argument. I reject it. Respectfully. I think that's okay, too. You can read the quote you quoted. But you are literally incapabl...
Because they are wrong (on my view, obviously but its a pretty widely-held one). It is hard to understand how you could ask this question. It requires...
They don't tell anything even remotely close to the story you're telling. Reality sits squarely with the fact that there are not billions of people wh...
This is just utterly ridiculous. There are not this many people who care to have an opinion on the matter. I contend that this ridiculous type of assu...
I believe they exist, but in the context I gave. There is no basis otherwise. The fact that some large group agrees (and, patently, we often dont) doe...
Hmm. While I do not think Kirk ever did this - yes, that's right. So does Kamala, Seder, Maddow, Tiedrich, Reich etc.. etc.. If you want to take that ...
Really? This seems to me one of hte most potent and obvious oddities of humanity. There are plenty of people whos lifestyles I think are damaging (to ...
I would go further - that claim is bare nonsense. There is an extremely small, unhinged group that exist on Earth and probably number below 10m who wa...
Given your final line, do you expect a good-faith response? Or would it be more reasonable to simply not be a dickhead, and then expect to not have a ...
No, I don't wonder why. People are really stupid and (as it seems you are quite disposed to do) actually look for things to get upset about because it...
This looks to me like four (including myself) people roughly agreeing that all people, unless they give us reason otherwise, deserve respect and acqui...
I think that's right. There are local expectations which are essentially one of the organizing traits of a society. I don't personally see a problem w...
That is hte exact opposite of reality and I cannot respect such a delusional take on something that is there for all to see with their eyes. You are h...
I have differing views here.. but I see the issue you're raising. I don't think you've understood what I've said here: It is that this isn't hte case ...
The mind can only be what it actually is. What is 'appears like' isn't anything. It does things. Whether there's a dualist element or not, that's the ...
But the Bible is an inarguable moral guide. The latter (or, 'other') is amorphous and often disagreed with (hell, often killing is justified by the Bi...
This is not contrary to my position. It really does look like you cannot read a biological paper. That is no problem, but continually making it clear ...
It is explicitly not running them together. It is explicitly saying that biological tendencies are required for a 'socially constructed' gender to obt...
See, this seems patently unrealistic to me. The entire point of the American project is to promote diversity, you're right, and the intention is that ...
Huh. The preceding comments tells me we agree, so let me try to work through how I came to that.. I think, more discreetly, what I didn't take in hand...
This ignores that I said "carve off". That tells you I don't take your logical conclusion in hand. The use of 'gender' has its place and obviously des...
It's really hard to respond to this. You have asked questions that you've answered yourself on the entire way through, and added in plenty of nonsensi...
This should be fun... My take is that 'transgender' needs to be read prima facie. transgender. In this way, we simply carve sex off from gender. They ...
On page five of her paper What Is Sexual Orientation there is evidence to the opposite. "Sex is appropriately characterised in terms of a cluster of e...
LOL well he's more famous. I am only famous locally, but it is directly for improving mental health initiatives in my country. I'm happy with that :) ...
I don't think you're adequately understanding what is being said. You want me to make a logical argument. It is unavailable and not what is being posi...
This is contradictory. Masturbation can't be done with another's body. Sex is 'objectively' not masturbation in any sense. More evidence Zizek is divo...
It seems, perhaps you are not a serious person. This type of response tells me your mind is closed, and the surrounding thread makes it quite clear. M...
This is not really at all how it came across. It's hard to explain why, because your position is totally reasonable. But the way it read to me (i.e I ...
This is an odd thing to say. He wants a secure border, to deal with crime, reform spending and then yes, reduce war and war casualties. He also believ...
I don't think much of that is right. He is clearly a pretty egoic person, but i also imagine your wife thinks that what was squarely left wing thinkin...
No. I'll quote myself: I note you also quoted this, and then charged me with saying something very much different. Again. wiping my brow. They aren't ...
I'll in reverse. Yeah, this is a good point. I think most in the field tend to seek something indicating that there is somethign further. Although ess...
This ignores the new Testament. But I'm not particularly drawn to defending Kirk on religious grounds - that was where we parted ways. Unfortunately, ...
I find this to be (almost purposely) racist. It is not impossible. They have the same minds everyone else has. Heath systems are designed within a cul...
I do honestly hope that one day you gain the ability to understand threads of exchange properly. As it stands, you've simply resiled. That's fine. I d...
Hmm I'm not disagreeing with you, but my comments stand. It may be that people don't 'agree' with this, but like noting the sky is blue - there are ar...
It does seem to be, though. I mean, there are millions further into the 'Huh, i dont know what you're talking about" that I am (or, semi-pretending to...
