What I mean is, you seem to equate the promise 'you will never need to vote again' on a par with the promise to raise minimum wages. The first comes d...
If you weigh the two options, one promise is that you will never vote again, indicating Trump will become ruler without any election and the other is ...
We are getting to the heart of the matter I think and there we find edges. Not everything here will become clear or fit perfectly, but that is what I ...
It is, but I dislike using shorthand. Usually it is just to show off your knowledge and send a reader into the woods, because something like legal pos...
So you are chasing your own tail when you ask what 'ought' means? I also do not know why you keep repeating the question in that case... Anyway, we ar...
Yes and it can mean different things in different contexts, that is why no one can give you an exact definition. That is actually more often the case ...
Well, on some version of social contract theory maybe. In any case the agreement is implied when following the procedure and cannot be retracted. For ...
I keep telling you and you keep running around in circles. You are bound means that there is an outside authority to which you have submitted by follo...
Even if you agree or not you ought to do what you are told, because the authority that governs your conduct is legitimate. I might like to not fulfill...
That this authority is recognized as legitimate. That you yourself has submitted to this procedure, or in any case, that by participating in the socia...
Perhaps this has been cleared up earlier. As a caveat I have to say that what both propositions actually means, depends on context. They might come do...
The question is, was she right? Of course I understand what she was saying. I also understand what it does when saying that. It was a way to get rid o...
Of course you are free to point out that you think my posts are crap. I disagree with that assessment but that is to be expected. What is uncalled for...
Ohh no, that is not what I tried to convey. So maybe I did not formulate it aptly. A marriage is not constituted by my attitude, it is constituted by ...
Can someone stop @"AmadeusD" from trolling about? He seems unable to discuss matters without peppering his responses with invectives on his interlocut...
But there is such a fact, namely my assertion that I am married. I attest to it, vouch for it, plead with my audience. I am simply not believed becaus...
I can safely assert it and I would probably be believed by all. However, if there really was such a man, I would still be wrong. He did exist, he just...
And on what metaphysical theory are you basing that assertion? Common sense speaks against it. When I open my eyes the first impression of it is that ...
It seems to me odd that contravening the democratic process (as assassinating a political rival clearly is) could be construed as an official act fall...
I haven't read it, so I also feel unqualified to make any statement on the matter. That this case is difficult and needs a tiered approach does not su...
I definitely want to taste the paella made by @"javi2541997". if I am not mistaken he is from the parts of Spain where it is at its best... If his coo...
Similar as in a rice dish :lol: Indeed the spices are very different, ingredients as well, but to me it has a similar 'feel'... except when Paella is ...
You keep saying that and it is at the core of this whole debate. It comes down to the maxim: "What cannot be shown to exist, does not exist". I think ...
My apologies, I did not get it. We do share the same impression it does seem :) Well, for me it is hard to think of a legal order to be wiped out in a...
Where did he do that? My claim is rather simple: when I make a promise to X to do Y, the promise is made. Now Amadeus seems to state that when the pro...
No. The non existence of registries is not among the limititative grounds for annulment of marriages under Dutch law. Therefore the marriage is not an...
I agree. The sale of a house in the Netherlands is also not complete until the asset is transferred and its transfer is recorded in the registry. Ther...
It depends on jurisdiction and on where and when it is uttered. If I interview a witness than him or her saying that something promised them something...
I have absolutely no idea what you mean. I will try to make heads and tails out of it, but we may be talking past each other. I do not think one quest...
You have not proven anything because you have not proven that you have willfully interrupted the flow of the present. The claim of determinism is base...
They were militarily above Europeans because after the Roman empire the Ottoman empire were the first to have a standing professional army which requi...
Yeah that's it! We simply hate it. They only did for some time. During Roman rule perhaps and after the scientific revolution. Afterwards advances in ...
Compared to what? I live in the Netherlands and Den Haag (It is either Den Haag, or The Hague or La Haye as it is sometimes referred to, but not De Ha...
Advanced in what respect should be asked actually. I was unclear on that. I meant militarily more advanced, philosophically more advanced, economicall...
And you are basing that claim on what? Between 500 and say 1500 Europe was neither technologically, nor militarily or scientifically more advanced the...
The funny thing with history is that it creates while it describes. It reconstructs a story that presumably explains why things happened in such and s...
Back in the day here on PF we would bash each other's heads in argumentatively over the continental analytic divide. I am trained in continental thoug...
You too my friend! That is a nice list of movies... Yes, yes, the officer must have considered himself 'The only law west of the Pecos', to quote Step...
This was an absolutely fantastic read. I am complimentary in my last posts to many writers and they are meant compliments. This though I feel is somet...
I lack a lot of time this year to devote to the stories and so I only read it now, after the circus has passed. That is too bad actually. I enjoyed it...
Possibly, last time I mistook yours for Benkei's, but I will not speculate further, it might be the same mistake. Anyway, just to say, I did like Fugu...
Well... I gave it a 3 for the writing, which was good. It was however a bit of a pointless read for me. A very straight forward line of action but lac...
