I don't know a single person who could take this as anything other than an insult to their morality (restrict this to males I know). No, that's not a ...

There is 100% inarguably an over-assumption of the intent of men to rape women, and the actual number of people who do this (or, sexually assault them...

I don't think many people outside of the types of chambers in which these one-sided conversations happen would recognise a lot of the OP as accurately...

Yes. Without doubt. That does not mean I don't, overall, enjoy my life. I have an interest in continuing to exist. But, having never existed seems to ...

Thank you Tom :) Hope you're well over the ditch!

Genuinely worried you're mentally ill. I am not being disingenuous. Your behaviour mirrors my bipolar brother. I will refrain from further comment , l...

I tried that too! @T Clark Let's see if that works..

Probably hte main read-across is that his conception of how media works (if correct) should mean Republicans never read it, and instead have these typ...

No, not futile, but dangerous when assumed to be objective. But, this supposes I have a moral belief "people should not think morality is objective" w...

No, it really is not. "one ought not kick puppies" means "I think one ought not kick puppies". Nothing more. It means the speaker believes it to be tr...

Also surely, yes. I would want a system of court order to create the avenue to do the deed, as it were. I'm also not entirely sure it's going to help....

Happy to agree to disagree. Noting that if that wasn't your reason for posting, I may have inadvertently mislead you, I find your conclusion there biz...

Second-hand Teslas are quite affordable and often come with off-sets, making a business purchase quite viable. The rest of that sounds a whinge.

With a better reason than 'reasonable suspicion', yes. No one who benefits from the state should have a carte blanche on funds they receive from the s...

Haha, possibly. I think they do, they just aren't ones you'd agree with. Mostly, not ones i'd agree with either. THough, this actually raises my point...

No, no. While I'm not sure how you got that, really, it was not my intention at all. I do think you're using words in an incoherent fashion, but that'...

I don't think they are related, per se. We can have an ultimately meaningless universe and still note things which push toward, or away from, flourish...

Unfortunately not. While reading Ivan i had a rather intense, and close call with cancer. I think I'll give it a while.

Most of us who see Mikie is a completely unhinged child do agree with this. For my part, i've never suggested otherwise. He's not often wrong, he's ju...

I'll be honest: your conception is entirely incoherent to me. I cannot find a way to have it make sense in any practical way. It seems a side-step or ...

Again, you have leapfrogged the entire point I have made. THe methodology I'm using would expressly ignore policy at the first stage of discussion, an...

I don't have one, because I am adult. It seems Mikie not only needs an ignore list, he chooses, instead, to lean into everything that could show his c...

Oh, this one was deep. Say more!

No issues with this. I find the preamble a bit out of hte place though. I am being quite specific about what hte terms mean, for me, in those sentence...

You think so... Feel free. It's as bad as Twitter, most of the time. Sure, some great points get made. Generally, not by the posters you are thinking ...

No, it's not that it's unclear (although, I could wrangle it in that direction). It's that I think the 'view' described is erroneous to a rather extre...

This is getting fun again Mikie! Repeat yourself MORE! :D

:ok: :up:

They are. Trying to talk to someone of genuine faith about something for which there is contrary evidence is one of the most trying tasks a human can ...

She claimed to have them. There were none. Please re-read the exchange, because you're defending something explicitly stated, as not stated. I am awar...

Cows have brains. I take it they have a mind, but cannot be sure. I also take it they have experiences, as they appear to deliberate and show awarenes...

My comment can be translated into your question. What hte heck is being talked about there? Nonsense, at best.

No, and you would do well not to quip when you've clearly not understood what has been said. We've been here before too, Vera.

Almost certainly neither. These discussions are ridiculous and don't account for almost any relevant calibrator. In this case, it's more than likely t...

And there it is again :)

THe entire post is just you going over how you feel. There aren't any facts or statistics that can be quibbled with - which is why I gave a similar re...

Sure. Your consistent inability to maintain an adult's emotional capacity is a laugh.

I don't see that it will - but that could be another interesting discussion! A mind can be conscious. A conscious mind can experience. They can also n...

I would certainly appreciate that! As for the quip there, I think this is contradictory. The previous discussion didn't seem to touch that issue - if ...

:ok: Very good example. That is what faith does, for a 'believer'.

Could you elaborate? This seems prima facie ridiculous to me, so wanting to assuage my worries.

Trump? If so, yes, i'd say so. I think he's far more cynical than bigoted too.

And there we are.

Sounds like this is very much appearing as a ghostly apparition (not in the sense it doesn't exist, in the sense it is weak and not very effective) in...

Can I please know from what position you're watching this film? It's not one i've seen. Definitely not a documentary.

This, roughly, was going to be my response. That the methodology espoused is easier, and more satisfying in terms of 'getting somewhere', I cannot hel...

Yes, definitely falls along those lines. I think being honest is probably hte crux. With yourself. Stop arguing about things you don't even believe. I...

This is not hte way to do things. This leapfrogs everythign I think is important in that discussion/post.

Nominal? I'll take that! Without accepting th premise LOL

LOL. It was ... an odd experience.
