Packaging wouldn't be a function change. I'm not sure why you're stuck on that.

Fine. Should that change at some point, I hope you keep my suggestion in mind.

Ok. Packaging is undoable as well? It looks like the categories are package like.

Ok. But the more I think about, the more I'm convinced that readers would benefit from a user-based presentation. Package all of SLX's op's, for insta...

So we really have no control over the format? I'm just surprised. And I didn't particularly want to start a blog. As I said... it was a thought about ...

Yes, I'll start a thread.

Oh. Did I sound blaming? It would just involve a little column (maybe to the right) with names and a little signal about whether they have a new entry...

Oh, cool!

Jesus, dude. A long time ago I was on a forum that had a little blog section. It ended up being a discussion generator. I was thinking of ways to impr...

Wow. All great ideas. I asked because I was listening to an NPR article about Facebook's efforts to increase interest. I thought.. "How would the phil...

The universe is the result of God's loneliness.

It's part of the soundtrack. Plus the Blue Danube if I remember correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFPwm0e_K98

Thus Spake Zarathustra.

True.

Question, can we talk about this? I can see you're upset. Question, I'd really like to talk about this.

Omnibenevolence is a feature of the Abrahamic divinity. Combine that with omnipotence and you have a problem of evil. But gods roamed the landscape of...

I'm familiar with rightism, yes. But interestingly, the central columns of rightism are not identified in the American Bill of Rights. There was no ne...

Hmm. Not really what I had in mind. Maybe the software doesn't allow that much freedom? If so.. that's kind of wonky isn't it?

Do you think the masses are able to think as adults? I think history shows that widespread emotional maturity just... doesn't happen. Embracing democr...

It's amazing how many people end up just shooting their faces off. Healthcare workers commonly lament that somebody ought to write an instruction manu...

Evil, by definition, is never justifiable.

Blogs?

What would you say the justification(s) for the right to free speech is(are)?

That is correct.

Dave? What are you doing, Dave?

Just to play devil's advocate for a moment.. if there was some governmental means by which all speech could be forced to be truthful, would we still n...

Cool! If you had an opportunity to ask a living philosopher something... what do you think it would be and to whom?

Zeno's intentions aside, you aren't solving the paradox by saying this. You're merely restating it. Infinite regresses appear from time to time. Philo...

I don't think so. It's just a simple question: does the golfball have to arrive at the center point before it can make it to its destination? Common s...

I think the point of counting is to quantify. Every step of the way in counting one has quantified the stuff up to that point (so it's weird to think ...

What would you like to see more of on this forum, Jute?

Damn right.

But is he doing so with any degree of seriousness? If not, this should not be posted in the philosophy of religion section.

I would take it with a smile if I got the joke. I don't even know who you're shooting at.

Drive by philosophy?

Bud ump Tsheeee...

I was working 36 hours out of the last three days. I'm too tired to riot.

Anyway. Now that we're talking about women, I have something to say about it. Uh.. wait.. no I don't.

I wasn't. It just seemed like he was talking about somebody in particular. And I don't have a category... except for the Categoriless. That's me.

Oh. You just seem to be taking some shit very personally.

Women's studies professor. Diabolical. Are you studying women?

Which is why I'm presently drinking coffee. Mmm.

Tea and the Magna Carta... we're just spoiled brats.

I think you've been falling down on the job here lately.

I've noticed you Brits tend to have a much deeper understanding of American politics than we dim Americans. And with wiki backing you up... what can I...

"The government which governs least, governs best." There may be no contradiction around your way, but there's a big one here. Again... old news.

Pro-life is not a rightist viewpoint. It's socially conservative. Remember rightists are all lazy-fair (I refuse to spell out the French in the shoutb...

More leftist than Chomsky is the Fool on the Hill. But sure.. Thorongil was being hyperbolic. But I think the leftist response to the world tends to b...

I think you have to admit that leftists aren't generally known for humor. Conservatives laugh a lot (though admittedly it's a kind of Goebbels laugh)....

There are knee-jerkers on either side. And then there are the people who bother to read a book about it.
