I guess their national anthem changes depending on what the authorities like us to think about that place. Usually it seems to be benign, but with a p...
I still have the suspicion that that country does not actually exist... Perhaps it is a figment of our imagination, or worse, we have been indoctrinat...
Reminds me of a legendary champion at our local chess club. He was a strange fella, but cool, especially compared to us, nerdy chess players wearing g...
It is a wonderful song I think. It also has nice philosophical implications. We are similar in difference and as such similarity in difference is the ...
Just tell him that you are no longer interested in contact with him whatsoever and subsequently ignore him. It happens. He might like you or he thinks...
We are not that far off actually. I agree with this, I have no reason not to. Except that abusive parents are the sole cause. I was quite a depressed ...
It teaches me you confuse a normative analysis with a factional one, not for the first time. Your research is moreover circular. You define children a...
I teach them them, but thanks anyway. edit: It is a bit fickly to add pics. I google the image than copy the link than I click on the icon with the mo...
No, the point is that the definitions of PE does not lead to any normative conclusions such at those you draw. Yes they care for the ones that feed th...
My point is not that they are prone to depression or not, but that they are nice. I never saw a friendly child in my life or at least, very few. In de...
I do not see it. They recorded a large amount of brain activity in areas which are also used when dreaming or remembering. What is there to disagree w...
First of all, get well soon Pinprick. No. The difference is in the legitimacy. The hacker steals your money and robs you.. The tax authorities tax the...
Well certainly, but what about Mexican? With some pointers from Jamarlob... I know I am not the greatest food porn director, but hey I tried... Birria...
a2a (not looking at all the other answers...) edit, I see this has been provided by Jamalrob but rejected by the poster... well I was never any good a...
Indeed, I always have red onion, lemon wedges and cilantro or parsley ready. Even then it is not my strong suit. I will post a pic if I manage to make...
Ohh that does look wonderful Jamalrob and so well presented. Presentation always gets me into trouble. Made a a Mexican goat ' birria' stew yesterday,...
Ahhh no, that was not meant for now in this situation, just a general observation of male and female behaviour. The Shakira guy is a no go for so many...
Those are wise words, yes. True enough. However would it not be helpful if we would just cut out this illusion creation? It would make things so much ...
No it is not. Say you are robbed of your money by a gang of thieves. That is harmful. Every year that same sum of money is being taxed by the state. Y...
Reading your story @"ArguingWAristotleTiff" and the suggestion you might think of hiring someone to go with you made me wonder whether the current cul...
Yes that is what I mean. You think all racial discrimination is equally wrong, but it isn't. It matter what the motive for discrimination is and what ...
Agreed, that is why I used it as an example of arbitrary classifications. When I applied to law firms they asked me to submit a list of grades. I was ...
No in this case the dictionary was right because in the past the candidates have been excluded because they were held to be inferior. Men were conside...
I haven't grouped people, they are grouped by everyday social practices. There is no scientific basis for me being grouped among the category of Dutch...
Why is that? Because I think people with a white skin get hired easier, are less often deemed suspects in criminal cases, get shot by police less ofte...
No I only need to assume that there is a privilege to being white. All in research I know of confirms that privilege. Because people with a dark skin ...
Positive iscrimination is a way to redress past wrongs and an attempt at creating equal starting positions. It has nothing to do with inferiority or s...
That is strange... I can seem to access it alright but not link it.... The article is called "Kelsen's theory of the basic norm" by Joseph Raz.... odd...
It is self referential, it is the exact norm through which\ law states its law like character, At least that is how I understand him. There is no othe...
No, I am not adoring the law as you say. I have read the article and I must say, so many words to state such an obvious thing! However I think the wri...
@"Benkei" Well not knowing anything about corporate law my 2 cts are as good as anyone else's. The SPA might be between two Dutch companies, but appar...
No no, my apologies. I wrote it wrong. The Grundnorm is not based on justice. The Grundnorm is simpy the norm all other norms derive their binding for...
Well I do not think the second notion is that half baked. I also do not believe that my experience necessarily proves the reality of something, so I d...
I might well agree with you on that. From a naturalistic metaphysical point of view, free will is difficult to understand to begin with. From the pers...
I do not think the Grundnorm is a name for justice... the Grundnorm in Kelsen's system is based on justice. The Grundnorm is simply the norm laid down...
We are in agreement there. It cannot. The only way we can philosophically say something about it is by asking a different question. For instance wheth...
To your credit the article does present some claims going your way nicely, I admit. I will have to really read it to get to the heart of it, but that ...
"Lex initusta non est lex" Thomas Aquinas. :brow: I would have to read the article to see if it makes sense. However, there is a whole natural law tra...
Yes and that you are forced to draw that conclusion shows how implausible your definition of freedom is. It follows that a society in which we have we...
Under a certai definition of freedom. Here yoou equate every form of control with freedom. More control equals more quanta of freedom. However, that d...
Possibly, but the SEP article paints too broad strokes. There might be questions of control of the will, Plato's discussion of the tripartite nature o...
