I've lived in less racist places, but I have no idea about the rest of the world apart from that. I believe hate crimes are higher here than most othe...

You do realize you do this a lot? Someone tries to bring in a different perspective, widen the scope of your inquiry, and see the problem you're prese...

Good catch. Which would also be the answer to: Just cause Matthew says so and so many people saw miracle X, doesn't mean they did. Additionally, the p...

It's important to remember that the path is as important or more so than the goal.

I love how you're the pot calling the kettle black here, Mr. Can'tHaveAConversationWithoutCondescendingRemarks. More specifically, I'm charging societ...

It's ridiculous that you don't seem to be able to understand the connection.

It's not a myth, but like all such diagrams/maps/symbolic representations, it's a crass over-simplification. It helps you orient yourself and others, ...

I think seeing Jews as non-white is as weird as seeing Italians and Polish people as non-white. I think you just don't want to face the fact that we t...

My problem with the Alt-Right is not that they celebrate and appreciate their own whiteness/Europeanness/Americanness/whatever, but that this is often...

That whole segment is decidedly not chill.

And, actually, they do.

You need to chill. For real.

#NotAllTeachers/Professors :wink:

It's impossible to judge if it was racist, because the contents of the tweet are unavailable. And the whole "minorities can't be racist" stuff is just...

I'd just like to point out that the phrase "lived experience" is redundant at best. What other kind of experience would there be? Unlived? Undead? Liv...

There is no singular value to philosophy, but among some of it's values I would list: 1. Your point about helping us find questions/problems to resear...

Strictly atheist theologically, but I find the teachigs/texts of most religions to be insightful literature about philosophy and human psychology. Thi...

Can you provide a link or citation for this? Cause I was curious to read more, but I can't find anything. Thanks!

Look at you getting rude again :roll: Nevermind, guess you're never going to be able to have a civilized conversation.

Let me just make sure I understand your position: 1) hurting someone's feelings is never wrong. 2) since people say/do bad stuff, we should just let i...

Plus it's a false dichotomy. Just because it's possible that people should learn to ignore racist words, doesn't mean that those spewing racist garbag...

That's just victim-blaming and totally ignoring how humans work. As social beings, we care about how others view us, speak to us, and treat us. I do n...

There'e degrees to it. Just having racist thoughts is one thing--you're probably hurting yourself more than anyone by being caught up in hate that way...

That's interesting, but really not the same as learning.

:joke:

That's basically the whole comments section on YouTube for that video >.<

Sometimes interlocutors on this site just seem like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xiAY4KI2WY The rest of y'all are cool.

I'm sorry, but it's not my job to make someone see the light who's treating me poorly. Come back with the right attitude and we can talk. Apart from n...

Likewise? Those are two totally different questions.

Agreed, but can you point to the exact posts you're referencing? Also, are you flagging the posts in question? My personal opinion is that Judaka shou...

Another fact is that for most people the good outweighs the bad in life and they're not going to join your silly movement. So have fun dying alone!

I like life and I'm glad I am alive and the vast majority of humans agree with me, so your argument stops right there.

I take your silly perfect Chinese Ming vases and I raise you the Japanese art of Kintsugi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi

I'd really have to know what the argument was and what the sentence was.

I think that's a false dichotomy. You can (and should ) use evidence, studies, knowledge, etc. to help guide you in your attempts at empathy/imaginati...

For most people, it's not possible to suppress all emotions all of the time. You have control over some of the intensity, duration, and what you do wi...

What about for psychologists? Seems to me they need to approach their patients with a mixture of intellectual detachment and empathy. Especially when ...

You're very needlessly aggressive. Also, I do not think that there is any evidence that suggests any man feels like a woman. I think it's impossible t...

In theory, yes we could get rid of gender. But until we stop performing it, gender exists.

Your preferences can change over time. You can learn and unlearn preferences. What I liked ten years ago is not the same as what I like now. Transgend...

No he doesn't, actually. He just claims that his depression is caused by the experiment. He can't prove it, though, because it's impossible to know wh...

Drag you? That's hilarious.

And yet you kept arguing :roll:

You're not reading carefully. My point is that there is no logical inconsistency, but that people need to carefully differentiate between biological s...

I'm not going to go into a debate about the details of the study. Suffice to say that you should be open to changing your mind when presented with fac...

Are you referring to this passage: "Millennial women between 30 to 34 actually squeezed much harder than their forebears did, coming in at 98 pounds o...

Yeah, I get your point. MY point is that biology is not always destiny.

:roll:

That's definitely a malleable physical trait: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/08/15/todays-men-are-nowhere-near-as-strong-as-their-da...
