Did I say that? That's a broad claim I hope you have some evidence or at least argument to back up.

How charming! I hit a nerve! Some advice: take yourself less seriously and/or toughen up a bit. The (very mild) feedback I gave you on your logic shou...

I have neither an issue with logic nor with an anonymous stranger on the interwebs (you). I'm merely trying to argue logic, and if that seems to you l...

Actually, I did read that part. But your summary of your position was unclear, so I cleared it up for you. A and D are neither provable nor disprovabl...

Yes, but if you look carefully at the logic, A and D are indeterminable given the premises, and B is outright false. That is to say, we can't say anyt...

I'd phrase it differently: A) Some dinosaurs are people (undetermined) B) All people are dinosaurs (does not follow) C) Some people are not dinosaurs ...

Well, yeah, and that kind of ties into why economists have this narrow view of how capitalism is the holy grail and so on. Capitalism promotes, endors...

Secondary causally. If suffering alone caused suicide, then victims in the Holocaust and slavery would have all killed themselves long before their ci...

Well, he did kill himself in the end. Unluckily, too late for his millions of victims.

I think the amount of pain, stress, suffering an individual is going through is secondary in suicidal ideation. What seems more important is the indiv...

I'm not sure what word you're looking for, but subtle is not it. Vague perhaps? Flippant? Boorish? As for the rest of your commentary, literary critic...

If your intent had merely been to point out a flaw in my reasoning, you would have left it at that. Instead you made a snippy remark to go along with ...

Nope, I'm not. And, for the record, I really don't care much if some anonymous person (you) on the internet thinks I'm pretentious for the pretty beni...

Well, that's a literary analysis right there. Um, but you literally said: In any case, we can take Trump's latest tweet: "Robert Mueller is being aske...

Since that is it's aim....well, duh. And yet effective. Hence the usage of rhetoric to examine them. And yet effective. Hence the usage of literary cr...

Literary criticism covers the analysis of rhetoric. That's most of what fake news is. Ergo, literary analysis would be helpful to the analysis of fake...

That does not answer my question. In fact, it kind of suggests literary criticism would be pretty helpful, if you know anything at all about literary ...

Because....?

I think this could easily be tweaked to be a Gettier problem, which is, imho, much more interesting. So, usually, yes, knowing what someone looks like...

Woman tells you she lost her baby yesterday due to SIDS. Are you saying you wouldn't realize that a joke about dead babies is totally inappropriate ri...

I think @"Baden" gave a very good, succinct account of the different ontological statuses of God and Canada. You seem to be insisting on one particula...

Ah, well then. If you make your case like that, I guess it must be true. S/ Clearly you've run out of productive things to say. Oh well. Next time may...

No really, don't bother. We like the air down here just fine without you.

Lol, Frank comparing himself to Socrates. :rofl: You are a card.

The stubbornness you're showing in refusing to even just move on from the conversation is part of the rigidity I've seen throughout your posts. I won'...

I see your line of thinking as just as rigid as you see mine. Like I said, we'll have to agree to disagree as it does not seem to me we will reach a c...

I suppose you mean even in cases when the patient is underage and probably not the best judge of her own interests. Oh well. I think we'll just have t...

How would you think if this was about cancer patients? Would you allow a patient to die without interfering in their cancer because the treatment is "...

I think I'm trying to be polite and meet you half-way in a theoretical discussion... So I suppose you could call it a negotiation. But it really doesn...

Key being "maybe" she won't recover. But maybe she will. Let's say it's 50/50. If she lives she has a shot at a good life, if she dies, she does not.

Hey, you made the analogy, not me. Better own up to the implications thereof. My comparison to the death rates still stands: you have a 1 in 10 chance...

We do in the case of children, so the only question that remains is what other cases can be included. Someone who is underage and in psychological dis...

You purposefully misunderstand us. No surprise there. There are simply those of us who wish this young lady were ALIVE and being TREATED and given the...

We're talking about human lives here. Not cars. Our standards are, and should be different for those two things. Anorexia has a mortality rate of abou...

Maybe if we were talking about an adult with a fully formed brain. Noa suffered from various kinds of mental disturbances during her teen years. The b...

That's great, but I hope you do realize that even their mental health care system is woefully inadequate. We just don't have a very good understanding...

Before we entertain options for assisted suicide for the mentally ill, shouldn't we invest more time, energy, and resources in providing care and trea...

I really think most people don't give a hoot and recognize the perfect normalcy of using whatever bathroom when you have small children. The past week...

It does not relate to the feelings of the actor, as much as the consequences for the receiver. The consequences in either case couldn't be more differ...

I can acknowledge that it may be a triggering eveng for a previous rape victim. I do not think that makes it tantamount to rape itself, though. I do w...

Your ad hominems don't impress me, Frank. But it's clear you're too upset to continue this conversation productively. Perhaps we can continue when you...

I already showed it. It's your turn. I guess you got nothing.

You conveniently neglect the main difference I pointed out: rape is only to harm the victim. Force-feeding is to save them. It couldn't be a more whol...

You are unable, I think, to acknowledge, that a person can be unable to think clearly. Perhaps you are in favor of letting children choose to use hero...

IF that person is in full control of their mental capacities, the case is more convincing. However, not when we're talking about a child and a mentall...

All that talk about insisting on making arguments, and then you refuse to do it yourself and just throw assertions around that you can't back up. Oh w...

I'm sorry my argument went beyond you. But I'll spell it out for you, again, if that's what you require. Force-feeding is possibly a minor, temporary ...

Clearly, you are just at a loss. Better luck next time.
