I think I was quite clear: is not clearly imbedded in the example. I understand your following (in this post) justification for why I should have assu...
This is axiomatic. What James, I think, is getting at is that this axiom is by no means fundamental and so cannot support a brute reading such as this...
Depends on the context, but yes, that could be the case. We're more than welcome to not associate with impolite people, or those with whom we vehement...
Well done. What he's saying is essentially true, no? What the government knows about is the criminals. Aside from that, the drug trade across the sout...
Perhaps learning about conversational implicatures might help you along here? "because i assume you don't want to get sick" is the only plausible furt...
Please quote where he's said "All Mexicans are criminal". Would be good to see. As far as I know, even when he's been misconstrued (usually purposeful...
False. We've been through this, but the etymology doesn't quite allow for this. "A-gnostic" means "no knowledge". It is the position that we cannot kn...
No threat - it's just wrong I agree. But Leon is on the right track - this is patent. The unique risk is the clear, and usually not-abated differentia...
Yes. Though, i don't pretend that there aren't any who find that difficult. I suppose also Buck's rather intense support for those women has helped. P...
*sigh*. All of the names I added result in the exact same claims from their followers. Meaning, "trump and hitler" are not unique, and it has nothing ...
A bit loaded (not on purpose). On my conception of an "ought", yeah, sure. But its an empirically descriptive ought, not a moral one. "If you want to ...
I understood what you were saying. I disagree, and think the reason you're saying this is disingenuous, whether that's actually your internal state or...
I don't really think it's a bullet but yes, I can't imagine we're getting anywhere on that LOL, fair enough. That is likely where we disagree.. I can'...
Yeah, I don't see the issue. That is not what they wanted but it is socially acceptable concession to prevent males from being in females spaces. Agai...
I have. I've been across this particular issue for about a decade, quite deeply. It may seem wild that someone with as much, or more experience than y...
If you wanted answers, don't give them yourself and then call the entire approach "bonkers". Secondly, perhaps don't pepper clearly loaded questions b...
No, it doesn't. It just proves that you think racism is a catch-all for any kind of specialized discrimination. Which is exactly what that passage ill...
You do have to be either male or female though. Sex is a fact, and one which is only ambiguous to the eyes, as much of hte world is. Sex is not an ide...
and No. My wife's assessment of x is worthy of my consideration, because statistically, it has been beneficial practically speaking, or has stroked my...
That's your view. But that is obviously not true and you're slanging a slogan. Shame, really. Of your references: 1. That's good; 2. That is the oppos...
No, they clearly don't. That is simply a way to silence that position, by poisoning the well. "it comes from bigots!" Well, no. Hitchens was probably ...
No; I don't think so. That's the point of what I'm calling out in this Ethical thinking. There literally isn't a conception of ought that isn't highly...
I am aware of all of this and repeat the question/s... For a believer, that is meaningless. Their God is good. A God who allows child cancer is also g...
Errr what civil/womens** rights are they trying to take? **I am vehemently against the banning of abortions, but that is absolutely a conversation abo...
They certainly could - but I am not under the impression we're talking about individuals (though, I did address this extremely briefly in that I see l...
That amounts to the same thing**. We don't want to do things we feel are wrong. "I felt I had to" would present an issue. Is that's a more interesting...
I think he's saying that even toddlers have a sense of what is theirs. Not that they can willy nilly make claims to stufff. But This is a result of th...
I'm not sure why. That's true of any debate. Don't use your brain if you don't wnat. If you want to say anything of substance, you'll use it. A very i...
But that's not a possible outcome if they're following a Creator's decree, though (this, in the world where that exists lmao). I mean, i take the argu...
Its occurring to me I subconsciously saw the question as this, above and thought something like "Surely, that ambiguous of a question isn't being aske...
Islam is not a race my friend. Yes. Obviously. Hitler loved dogs. Quite a lot. You're caving into a fear of someone else's mental state. Ridiculous. T...
I think this is false, unless you want to say they are sociopathic (likely). The average person carries those things out because they think they are '...
(just to cut in, as I think that's a great question) The only instance in which I think such a brute reading of "ought" could be used is where one is ...
I cannot deal with this level of non-comprehension. I have replied with those aspects of "well-developed" which apply (in my view) to conservative mor...
100%. Not just this, It is actually what people mean. Ask them. "It's tastes good". "It will keep me alive". Only in a romantic moment of poetics woul...
Fair enough - thanks for the comments. I think hoping for Utopia is absurd on it's face unfortunately. This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I've ...
I've already done this, twice now. If you cannot grok it, that's not much my issue. I can only requote myself: If you're disagreeing, there's no conve...
