The point is that you're wrong. That is what incitement is, in the law.

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...
April 30, 2025 at 02:29
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...
April 30, 2025 at 02:22
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...
April 30, 2025 at 02:12
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...
April 30, 2025 at 02:06
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...

bang on. Any group adherence will lead to this.
April 29, 2025 at 21:20
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...
April 29, 2025 at 21:15
*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 ...
April 29, 2025 at 20:57
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 ...
April 29, 2025 at 20:54
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...
April 29, 2025 at 20:43
Would you like me to report a few of your non-constructive comments too?
April 29, 2025 at 20:25
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'...
April 29, 2025 at 08:27
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 am Irish, I travel and hte internet exists :)
April 29, 2025 at 07:56
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...
April 29, 2025 at 07:55
Jesus dude, cannot imagine being as totally out of touch with reality as you seem to be. Ah well.
April 29, 2025 at 07:51
Yes, that is the ridiculousness of it, for sure.
April 29, 2025 at 07:45
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...
April 29, 2025 at 07:43
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...
April 29, 2025 at 07:33
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...
April 29, 2025 at 07:20
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...
April 29, 2025 at 07:09
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...
April 29, 2025 at 05:15
Fair enough - seems like we see that one hte same way.
April 29, 2025 at 05:12
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 ...
April 29, 2025 at 05:12
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...
April 29, 2025 at 05:10
This will go swimmingly.
April 29, 2025 at 04:07
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...
April 29, 2025 at 04:03
Athena, you missing a patently obvious point, literally bolded for your ease is not my issue. Blather all you want.
April 29, 2025 at 03:34
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...
April 29, 2025 at 03:32
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...
April 29, 2025 at 03:31
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...
April 24, 2025 at 03:08
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...
April 24, 2025 at 03:07
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...
April 24, 2025 at 03:06
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...
April 24, 2025 at 03:03
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...
April 24, 2025 at 02:54
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...
April 24, 2025 at 01:57
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 '...
April 23, 2025 at 20:26
(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 ...
April 23, 2025 at 20:22
You're going to need to explain where a 'right' even exists, besides from 'on high' as it were
April 23, 2025 at 20:06
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...
April 23, 2025 at 20:05
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...
April 23, 2025 at 19:59
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 ...
April 23, 2025 at 19:49
"There's a story" is not good enough. That should probably be the stance, particularly with such high heat on the issue.
April 23, 2025 at 19:46
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...
April 23, 2025 at 19:43
Well, I think you're wrong and clearly in the grip of a bias. But whatever, that's not all that important. MTG is an absolute loon.
