Good lord. Can you perhaps support this a bit?

Real big problem. Emotional dysregulation is something that's extremely hard to overcome. As I understand, having no example of some fundamental behav...

I, for one, think immigrations laws should be enforced. The rest is window dressing on both sides. Who cares, other than the damage and violence (whic...

Not in the terms here bandied about. Love seems to be some emergent property of affectionate relationships. That said, there seem forms of 'love' whic...
June 18, 2025 at 01:45
I really don't know what you're getting at here. I've said its an error in terms. More specifically: These are the same claims (the two in quotes). P ...

I think this is a bit of 'curse of knowledge'. I've outlined elsewhere that my Wife and I, having come up against this ssame confusion, realise that w...

I can't quite see whether you're trying to say that htis means its not a 'lone nut' or that it's somehow problematic that the security apparatus don't...
June 17, 2025 at 20:25
My intuitive answer would be this is incoherent. If the belief is 'not true' then the belief is false. Even if there's some way to jigger the state of...
June 17, 2025 at 20:11
I would want to say no one has advocated for this. Anywhere in the thread. Yep. Arbitrary intolerance is not. Intolerance which has a requisite reason...
June 17, 2025 at 19:49
We've had a decent exchange. There shouldn't be tension read into anything I've said. My point was actually more (I think) to do with that this claim ...
June 17, 2025 at 19:48
I have been over this. It's becoming really frustrating(not you personally - but note if anything seems terse, it's not on purpose): You can massage a...

HI Athena, I think it may be time to start reconsidering your clearly either, dishonest, or delusional takes on the world: When comparing the 1930s to...
June 17, 2025 at 03:22
Nah mate, not all that. You're obviously here for hte right reasons - thats why I still tried to respond as best I could :) I think you'll do well. I ...
June 17, 2025 at 02:19
Can someone explain, without reference to banal personal preferences, why my comment which was wholly on topic was removed? Glibness is not against th...
June 17, 2025 at 00:11
So, going through this piece by piece - you're leaving me with no much more to say than "So, you made it up". You quoted yourself, not me. I'm not goi...
June 17, 2025 at 00:09
Both - but our most recent exchange has jaded me on the latter. No hard feelings - just an explanation. .. yes, and with some jest. I should've made t...

Mikie is quite intolerant ;)
June 16, 2025 at 23:59
Socialization. That's the process. This isn't really arguable, unless you hold (against basically every single take that makes sens) that gender is ti...
June 16, 2025 at 23:52
Usually, outside of the West. So, let's be clear: you're picking out the evils of Western history for a discussion. Not the concepts you're outlining....
June 16, 2025 at 22:45
This is now beginning to be the same as having a discussion with my seven year old. As you were...
June 16, 2025 at 19:55
Thus, running roughshod over most of the previous comments. Weird...
June 16, 2025 at 19:53
No, just unfortunate. And I think that is the case. That's why there's (still) a push against democracy. People tend not to vote in their own best int...
June 16, 2025 at 19:52
But it clearly, without sense of doubt, is. This is probably hte least-arguable aspect of the debate. If you feel otherwise, that's a shame.
June 16, 2025 at 19:46
You are not paying any attention. At this stage, i am more comfortable calling you willfully ignorant. The words are not entirely relevant. The sound ...
June 16, 2025 at 03:49
Hits hard. I think the idea that we should taken politicians seriously, morally, is a joke. Absolute joke. It leads to the types of discussions going ...
June 16, 2025 at 03:02
I think the concept of Love is far too amorphous to say anything about it. Affection? That works.
June 16, 2025 at 02:31
Please quote where i mentioned prison. Please. Please quote where I suggested this (or even mentioned it as a topic???????) This explains you, I guess...
June 15, 2025 at 23:45
On it's face, this has always appeared the case to me and it didn't take getting into any professional capacity to note it. There's a clear difference...
June 15, 2025 at 23:44
Yes sir/ma'am/what have you. Though, I have very little problem with pre-emptively dealing with these sorts of civil unrest.
June 15, 2025 at 20:09
I don't think much of this is true, even on a historical level. So i'll leave it.. some of the more underhanded comments seem pretty self-serving. Spe...
June 15, 2025 at 20:09
Interesting. So, this sort of takes a 'social constructionist' view but wants to put this in the realm of the communal. I suppose I can get on with th...
June 15, 2025 at 20:06
It is quite hard to understand what you're actually getting at in this para (the whole thing, not just not part). It seems you want to say that an ant...
June 15, 2025 at 20:02
This is definitely you with fingers in your ears. No matter.. THe world will continue to turn.

I extremely enjoyed Georgia. St Simon's is beautiful.
June 13, 2025 at 04:55
No, probably not. But I do think any large-scale rioting of this kind should be quelled. Whos to do it? Edit: Appeal court just halted the requirement...
June 13, 2025 at 04:53
I have to say I did not expect this. yep. But they shade off into each other in a way that we can't really deal with in real time. Good lord. If this ...

Negatively? Definitely.
June 13, 2025 at 03:25
I told you I wasn't aware of this. I'm not asking you to do anything. Biden supported racial riots. I'm not really saying anything here - just that pe...
June 13, 2025 at 03:24
Wow that sucks. Does this indicate though that the administration perhaps isn't quite so gung-ho racist as purported? Unsure - but worth noting that t...
June 13, 2025 at 02:44
If you can't evaluate them against the objection facts of the extend of LA, the extent of downtown LA, the numbers involved and the levels of violence...

this gorgeous Masterpiece. Unfortunately, they have no other songs I'm even remotely moved by. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1ecmtqd7LE
June 13, 2025 at 02:03
That's a racist action, though. Your point isn't lost, hence my only real conclusion being: When the sorts of racism I'm picking up are overtly defend...
June 13, 2025 at 01:55
Yes. Actual videos and pictures of the riots across multiple areas, which include vandalism, looting and various forms of assault. I am unsure why you...
June 13, 2025 at 01:48
Are we really wanting to play that game? AI is literally designed to not report accurately on politically charged issues. It tells us as much, in many...
June 13, 2025 at 01:14
I think this entirely depends on the individual and the vice. I've been at the mercy of several vices through my life, and am pretty strong-willed gen...
June 13, 2025 at 01:11
Enjoy the thread - Can't add much more than Wayfarer has said. Perhaps I would add that that account doesn't seem to engage literal suffering, as laid...
June 13, 2025 at 01:06
Yeah, i'd agree, but I don't rush to immediately condemn it. I tend to just look at what's happening in each case - BLM, I was on board with until I r...
June 13, 2025 at 01:03
eDefinitely worthwhile, even if only in a wider sense!
