Questioner

I'm sorry, but to use the example of calling yourself what you do for a living is to indicate to me that you have not processed a single word I have s...

I love learning new words and had to look that one up. "a non-qualitative property responsible for a substance’s individuation and identity." Of the t...

Hmmm ... I think all religious people are looking to religion for something divine beyond this trying world, and religion provides them with that. All...

No, I would say that only transgender women who have completed their transition should be allowed in female changing rooms.

Good point - separating the person from the behavior And this begs another question - in what circumstances is suicide moral? I few posts upthread I s...

Good question. Since sports involve physical attributes, rather than mental, I think it's pretty apparent that transgender women should not be allowed...

Well, I wouldn't use the words "right" and "wrong" - just different. I'm going to ask you to put on your thinking hat - and ask yourself - where is th...

This is not true, I had the last word about male vs female brains, in a reply to you, citing more accurate and recent research, that sex differences i...

If you mean me: I have 168 posts (169 with this one) and my face is not as fresh as it used to be. If you don't mean me, sorry for the misunderstandin...

But I have presented you with a compelling argument and much evidence that it is not. What you may be defining is cultural mores, or accepted practice...

I read this differently, since we live inside our heads one's own psychological factors, not the factors of others The brain is part of your biology M...

No, that is your definition, and it goes against commonly accepted research. "Sex" is how you're built. "Gender" is a part of who you are. According t...

I tried. "We have to look for ways for you to live, not to die." But they were quite set on it. Never a second thought. No fear of death. Once I said,...

Again ... it depends ... My spouse, once very active, was made severely disabled by MS. Once they made their decision to use medically-assisted death,...

No, I wouldn't advance this position. There is no "must" about it. But if a person believes they have no quality of life and cannot live their life th...

Thank you so much! Be my guest!

Well, this is an original idea to forward an anti-transgender argument, but this theory has several holes, beginning with the idea that gender is some...

I think it is really important to distinguish those who embrace Christianity in a true following of Jesus and those who would use it for political gai...

I think this might be a cynical point-of-view, as far as the early spread of Christianity is concerned. I think the gospel of Jesus was embraced becau...

What an odd response to being corrected.

Okay, so we both seem to be coming at this from subjective angles, through the lens of our personal experiences. I wonder if we can step back and exam...

Of course there were transgenders in ancient time. (They actually called them more poetic names) People living in the opposite gender of the sex that ...

There is no misunderstanding or misuse of the word transgender (except maybe on your behalf.) By "misrepresentation of objects" - theses objects you s...

You misunderstood. I quoted that to mean not that Smith was doing the inciting, but that Trump supporters had been incited by Trump.

I suppose it is, but I did say I was approaching the question from a materialist, pantheistic point-of-view. I do not believe in the existence of "evi...

transcription transpositional transnational transatlantic transportation transplant transfusion transaction And I am sure that are at least a hundred ...

Thank you for that.

A moral duty? Why? This is spoken like someone who has never talked to someone who has chosen doctor-assisted death. How dare you judge them. I know s...

This is an interesting discussion. Beauty surely is subjective – “in the eye of the beholder.” For example, for me, “truth” is always beautiful, even ...

If I may, I'd like to look at this through the lens of a materialistic, and pantheistic, point-of-view. Consider that all that exists contains all the...

I never mentioned you, but I invite you to review the things you have said about me. I am sorry you could not discuss the issues with me instead of ge...

I haven't seen any bloodlust from Democratic leadership. I have seen them calling Trump out on the many ways he is poisoning politics in the US. This ...

Sorry, you have ignored the main point of my post - what is the role of leadership in all this?

The thing Griffin did was horrible. I certainly wouldn’t condone that sort of thing. But, as I mentioned before, for every leftist extremist, there's ...

Our conversation will go a lot more smoothly if you refrain from making unfair and inaccurate accusations against me. Well, then, let's have an examin...

Well, I guess the word "but" has other uses, but in your case it went like this: I don't defend Trump, but here are the reasons I defend him

Truth is important to us philosophers. I am confused, though, why the truth should be called "unhinged" and "emotional" and in "bad-faith" - Here's th...

That wasn't the rest of your comment. Indeed, you followed that with a "but" - and this being a philosophical forum - we perhaps should turn to the ph...

Are you talking about subjective knowledge and subjective truth?

They were Trump's words No, they weren't. But what is interesting is your compulsion to defend such language. If only that was all he were.

Using that video as your source is the equivalent of saying, "If you don't believe me, just ask me." Trump has put a lot of targets on a lot of backs....

They may mean when Trump calls immigrants "garbage" and "vermin" and says they are "poisoning the blood of the country" and the "country is being rava...

This just sounds like judging people, and this can be fraught with potential for abuse. It slots all humans into a hierarchy (which is then equated to...

What criteria do you use to decide if they are normal or not? We're made up of a lot of different parts and behaviors. "Normal" is a limiting term - a...

This just does not line up with the facts. Could you please provide a source for this? What a wholly unfounded statement. For every crazy on the left,...

This definition requires a judge of what is to be "expected." Who will judge what is to be expected? Who will decide if that fits the definition of "n...

They just mostly ignored it. I don't believe this. I've seen a lot of people, though, try to remind others of what Charlie Kirk actually stood for, wi...

if you look at the whole picture, we should also include Melissa and Mark Hortman. And statistics actually show the majority of politically-motivated ...

I assume you are referring to the American "left" and right"? Can you provide examples of this? It seems an unfounded statement. This does beg a discu...

if I may, I'd like to comment on this. I am guessing that "P" stands for proposition, and "C" conclusion"? Well, it seems P1 includes a conclusion? I ...
