This is most philosophy. I think the opposite can be true, to a risible degree though (see: Searle, Austin). We need the mean (thanks, 'Stotle).

LMAO. Same shit different page.

Sure, but I doubt it. I disagree about hte Bishop, and that's fine.

Absolutely not. BUt if this is how you feel things go, then I am not surprised. Denial is a full response in court. The claim must be proved, not the ...

Sorry I didn't include this in the earlier reply, felt it needed its own. Re: DACA he has more recently said he's going to find ways to ensure they ca...

Are you specifically referring to people for whom this is the case? Cause otherwise, you're shitshooting. I don't know anyone who thinks DEI is a good...

No. I've rejected your claim. It does seem, unfortunately, that you misunderstand basic tenets of exchange, reason and relation. It is making things d...

That certainly seems apt. I guess I just don't heap a load of.. idk.. vitriol? On it. I recognize stupidity/awkwardness/autism and find it hard to 'ch...

Are you able to quote something that indicates any of that? I couldn't care less for the guy, but he's been pretty clearly interested in illegal immig...

You've made the claim. I don't require a supporting argument. But for clarity: is not

Third party here - no, they don't.

Its not, though, because it has nothing to do with right action. It's a question about existence. You've accepted that Morality is the domain of right...

Hmm, right.. so, then Isn't a moral question is it? I think this is the issue i'm seeing - they are clearly different arenas. The latter is actually o...

Hmm - while I see the temptation, I think that's probably not a good piece of reasoning. I also thing: Almost certainly not on this occasion. If it do...

Hmm interesting. I had seen a few minutes of this (though, it was clipped into several items). I thought it was preposterous (one of hte claims tacitl...

Perhaps I am speaking to my experience/reading but this struck me as a really profound treatment of determinism. Thank you for that. Much thinking to ...

I think there are fascists in the US. Left and right. Is the actual country - the infrastructure and government going to turn fascist? No. There will ...

But this doesn't enter onto moral ground. Morality has to do with actions towards other sentient beings, right? I don't think this element fits into m...

Almost entirely agree with you both, fwiw. Thanks for your responses :)

fo' * surely. I would humbly disagree. But neither of us are timebandits, i'd think :P :P

LOL extremely enjoy this written southern patois. Yes, fair. I agree - probably why it hasn't been done. I think if one were to adapt, and remove that...

I agree with those points. It seems a risible misunderstanding of reality to prefer Gaza to Israel.

Curious due to several exchanges i've seen/had in the last few hours: Is anyone here prepared to claim Elon Musk made a Nazi salute?

Why not?

You could add to this that fully half the country disagrees with much of the conceptual basis for those policies. Like, regardless of the pro/con tabl...

Numbers are markers of their predecessors. 2 means "1+1". 4 means any of "1+1+2". "1+1+1+1" etc... So not sure cause is the right word. It might be wo...

Ah piss... And I used to read French (literally 25 years ago). Perhaps I can find a translation somewhere.. Thank you for the tip!

I may not be getting what you want me to get from this paragraph. I say that, as I can't quite understand what that is. I read this as a description o...

fwiw, I think these types really mean something a lot more nuanced that amounts to "the election was unfairly influenced by XYZ..." which I think is f...

Thank you :) FIrst response is out of order, for good reason: Ok, right, I fully misinterpreted what you were saying in this case, so please sit with ...

It's possible I'm misinterpreting or taking too seriously what you're saying but I don't think I have any views here. Some people think T is an existe...

Suffice to say I don't agree with much of that :) Glad we're at least in the same areas of taste though

Ignoring that it didn't come close.... that's a fucking insane move on day one.

Not sure I understand this question enough to even come back with a quip.. Maybe. But playful Gods. Not angry ones.

I think the correct genre is 'Animals as Leaders' hehehe. Not sure what the rant about Dragonforce is for haha. I said they were awful. I think Dream ...

Finally :sweat:

Responded to like a true thread-enjoyer :P

God I love checking in with the kids table.

Oh, come now. You know that isn't true. Portnoy is an incredible drummer though, no doubt. But Carington is just... there's a reason he's the choice f...

The album is called Corpse Flower if that helps :P Fair enough - I cannot recognize anything in here. Those two bands are very, very different for exa...
