Hehe. Suffice to say I do not think that's correct. Due process is quite different in both cases. That is why no citizens have been accidentally depor...

Only minutes remain.
February 25, 2026 at 23:53
LOL. They are wholly irrelevant to what I've said (and, their use would have further supported it). This is why it is entirely clear you're not at the...
February 25, 2026 at 22:22
Yeah. THeir duty is to support the rights of Americans. As any government is charged with. But actually, that's not hte function of government anyway....
February 25, 2026 at 22:20
I'm not. It just seems you don't even understand what I'm saying lol. Yes you can. Otherwise those with amnesia wouldn't have thoughts. That's illogic...

If you think that's childish, look at the above response to it
February 25, 2026 at 19:22
There's nothing hard to understand about any of this. You are clearly having a difficult time. Whether you wan to call this an illness or not is irrel...

So do several prominent black thinkers. Maybe dont do: This in reverse. It's unhelpful and dishonest.
February 25, 2026 at 19:19
I am not apt to take offense at this, I'm just curious - what makes you cringe? I realise this thread will be dead in four hours or so. Happy to move ...
February 25, 2026 at 19:18
That's likely because everyone knows when and where they would lay down their lives. Barely anyone knows in what circumstances they would be able to m...
February 25, 2026 at 00:24
LOL this is not in any way to do with our opinions of each other, but this was genuinely very funny as a self-deprecation lol. Nice. I've had a great ...

In: Iran War?  — view comment
Or - shock horror - its watching the massacre of citizens who are asking for help, the constant mistreatment of women getting worse, and a dictator wh...
February 25, 2026 at 00:19
I'm unsure you're addressing what we're talking about anymore. His use of apperception requires the I, in all of it's forms. This quote proves that an...
February 25, 2026 at 00:15
I think I'd be careful here, to not run a few different things together. You're right - dreams are another type of perception - non sensory. That's co...
February 25, 2026 at 00:08
Well tihs was a crash out i saw coming. I suggest you read this exchange carefully. You have (willfully, it seems) misread me at every single turn, de...
February 24, 2026 at 19:25
Can I ask a favour? Try to go a few days posting on these topics without adhominems.
February 24, 2026 at 19:23
Nothing I said touches this topic. Odd start. I also said absolutely nothing about this, whatsoever. Very odd start. No one said it was. This is how y...
February 24, 2026 at 19:22
Hmmm. Yes. Hard agree
February 24, 2026 at 19:15
- Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason, B131 This is just him saying exactly what I've laid out, to be clear. I think you're confusing the concept o...
February 24, 2026 at 19:14
I'm sorry, but if you think remaining in a country you continually deride, claim is beyond help, is fundamentally immoral etc... you cannot then remai...
February 24, 2026 at 19:08
Absolutely not. You have simply reiterated the same thing over, and over, and over and ignored absolutely every suggestion coming your way in service ...
February 24, 2026 at 03:02
I think there's truck to both sides of that coin. Plenty of White Americans think its pretty cool to essentially claim America is an oppressive, fasci...
February 23, 2026 at 19:19
Well well well.....
February 23, 2026 at 18:58
You have ignored plenty given to you. You can only lead a horse to water, my friend. If you don't want to drink, so be it.
February 23, 2026 at 18:57
Of course Kant says this. Is it the entire basis for the very concept of sensation. It is baked into the transcendental system as the single fundament...
February 23, 2026 at 18:57
I don't think much of what you just said is either of 1. true (as stated, anyway) or 2. bad. So we're not going to come to terms here. I think you're ...
February 23, 2026 at 18:55
:sweat: Vague (and reasonable) condescension aside, thank you! Or less than, as in plenty of current societies outside the west, unfortunately. Profou...

Anyone who doesn't like Twix isn't to be trusted. But it's not the greatest. The greatest is Picnic.
February 23, 2026 at 00:33
They are not matriarchal. They a matrilineal. A common mistake which leads to unfounded statements. Not in any way a stab at you - but it is wrong to ...
February 23, 2026 at 00:32
Yeah. I think that might indicate I don't think you did? In any case, no particular era. That's a pretty egregious mis-reading of what that cohort mea...
February 23, 2026 at 00:30
You can. This is the propaganda. You can. There is no possible other option. No one has any control over your mind but you. You can, like with your bo...
February 22, 2026 at 19:31
That is exactly what you're saying: If this isn't what you're saying, it's possible this is the single worst-faith post I've seen along race conversat...
February 22, 2026 at 19:29
Several dictionaries. Here's the Wiki You'll note that even the Wiki delineates between Kant's bespoke use and it's actual "meaning" per se. What? If ...
February 22, 2026 at 19:10
For me, personally, that's roughly where it ends. It's a little more nuanced (nothing turns on the nuance, though) but overall, its all introspection....
February 22, 2026 at 19:08
It is quite hard to know which thread to pull at in these comments. None of them seem reasonable except Athena, for what it's worth.
February 22, 2026 at 19:06
Yes, that seemed the basis of what you were saying. I think NOS4A2 is quite quick to create schadenfreude, in his view. Mate, you are not reading clea...
February 19, 2026 at 04:31
Is this like a new-agey thing? If not, where is this deriving from for you? As far as I know, there's nothing to suggest that this is at all the case ...
February 19, 2026 at 04:29
The non sequitur here is probably making it impossible to understand what you're talking about. "sentient-based reality" doesn't represent anything an...
February 19, 2026 at 04:21
I made no assumption. I described how you can come across. You do come across that way. Not comment on what you actually think. If that's uncomfortabl...
February 19, 2026 at 04:20
You are describing choices on your part and I am sympathetic to that. You are compulsively choosing to examine your life in a self-destructive way. Wh...
February 19, 2026 at 04:18
This is absolutely nothing to do with the previous two comments. You've claimed MAGA want to go back to a segregated society. It is vanishingly rare t...
February 19, 2026 at 04:15
This seems a total non sequitur. Can you make the connection, in context rather than in abstract? No one is doing this. That's largely why you're frus...
February 19, 2026 at 04:13
You may think so, and have intended this. The post, itself, is not coherent or capable of reasonable reply. Again, I am sorry - this is probably causi...
February 19, 2026 at 00:47
Hmm, that's fair prima facie. I think you're overworking what is being said on the otherside. No one is saying "science" is wrong, or rejecting the sc...
February 19, 2026 at 00:44
This is far from the case. The only calls for segregation recently (serious ones, anyway, rather than social media schlock) have been from the Black c...
February 19, 2026 at 00:36
I think her point, and it's a decent one, is that this whole situation sucks. It's not exactly good that there's a load of pedophiles and enablers in ...
February 18, 2026 at 19:10
Including Jerusalem, from what I can make out, yes.
February 18, 2026 at 19:08
Apperception is the process of interpreting information in the context of existing information. How, Questioner? You're giving an opinion which is not...
February 18, 2026 at 19:07
I do not think there is any evidence for this.
February 18, 2026 at 19:04
this is not a coherent post capable of reasonable reply. I’m sorry
