How can it not matter? If space is only finitely divisible, it solves the paradox.

Thing is, we don't know that space is infinitely divisible. Atomicity versus Infinite Divisibility is still up for debate in science, and things like ...

Michael's right that c) should be 0% to really make it a paradox through and through. But Jeremiah is right that when you are given 4 options to choos...

I've read that humor evolved as a reward system for finding mistakes in behaviors, patterns, or causal relations. For example, laughing at someone fal...

This coming from the person who suggested we should just ignore theists so as to get rid of them? I have no problem admitting that I don't think the m...

I literally said I wasn't intetested in discussing the issue with you anymore. But it's due to the fundamental illogic of your argumentation, which is...

You: You're proselytizing! Me: No, because x, y, z. You: Just because I said you were proselytizing doesn't mean I said you were proselytizing. :rofl:

I'll admit, your posts are like a trainwreck-it's hard to look away. :lol: This thread has followed the regular pattern of a claim being made, and arg...

You: uber and nkbj disagree. Me: no, we don't. *shows evidence* You: I didn't say you disagreed! Me: yes, you did *shows evidence* You: uber and nkbj ...

Okay: I mean... Are you TRYING to be a strawperson? :rofl:

You're just floundering. I could counter your whole post point by point (yet again), but I'm sort of tired of doing that. Suffice to say that everythi...

You insisted on the numbers when you assumed they worked in your favor. Now I've shown how they don't and you're calling me biased.... Oh the irony! I...

Sure. It's possible anything we think we know is false. It's also possible that we will someday find out smoking actually cures cancer. But I'm going ...

I used Davis' study because it is the one which counts animal deaths the highest and which is most often cited by pro-meat eaters. All other studies I...

I wouldn't even have given it to Obomber. Prizes Trump deserves include: Ugliest American Dumbest Tweets Most Lies in a Single Speech Most Hate Promot...

Okay. I misinterpreted you then :sweat: :smile:

This is what I was responding to: I very directly addressed and refuted your point. Sorry, not sorry :kiss: The fields already exist because we use 70...

I don't see any difference here than people insisting on being right in other threads here. Unless you'd claim that all threads here eventually devolv...

I don't believe that's actually true. Let's do the math: There's about 100lbs of meat on the average deer. And about 715 calories per lb. That's 71,50...

There's sooo many fallacies this whole "you're just a missionary" statement could fall under... suffice to say that it would be pure stubbornness on y...

It's not nothing. And even if that were true, giving up flesh still means NO ONE suffers. Which is a better outcome than some suffering. The majority ...

I don't think I'm being a consequentialist, and like I said, consequentialism doesn't work without a certain amount of deontology and vice versa, but ...

I know that you could probably figure this out on your own if you actually tried, but okay, I'll explain it slowly: Just now we were talking about bei...

We always have to go with our best knowledge and act as morally as we can accordingly. I don't see how we can reasonably act any differently. Yes, tha...

The key phrase being "capable of doing so." And by that I mean if we could do it in a way that wouldn't cause the ecosystem to collapse or tragedy to ...

We're not talking about your suffering or death. No human is going to die because we decided not to hurt the animals.

Saving the ecosystem is a greater good than saving the gazelle, though both are good. Since I cannot save both at this moment in time, I have to choos...

Hey, that's actually a pretty decent question! :wink: I think part of the problem here rests on a bit of an equivocation. There is a difference betwee...

Are you implying that a woman's ability to vote is that of a dog? Because dogs lack the abilities required to vote. They do not lack the ability to su...

A couple of things: The lion and the disabled person are both not morally culpable on the basis of lacking the ability to think about morality. But th...

:lol: :rofl: Now you're just not even trying.

Balance is one thing. I like balance where it makes sense. A relativist I am not, nor pretend to be. Relativism is insipid nonsense for the most part....

That's rich coming from the person driven to split us into two categories: pragmatic (those who agree with you), and not pragmatic (those who don't). ...

Dual. American culture can at times be insane, but I guess being half American inculcates me against being driven insane by it. :joke:

This argument is just going in circles. We're obviously not going to find a way to agree. Doesn't make sense to continue arguing this particular point...

I'm not explaining this basic concept to you anymore. At this point, you either get it, or you don't.

I have. Repeatedly. And this is the last time I'm going to bother repeating it: aiding and abetting.

Um... That's exactly what it is. You're trying to bolster your argument by repeatedly stating it's a minority position. As if it mattered. I have the ...

Free agentry only makes them also responsible. It doesn't absolve you.

Ad populum. Excuses for what? I'm not excusing anything. That would imply I was trying to justify something immoral. At most, if we hypothesized that ...

I have been. You haven't really presented a good counter argument though besides essentially saying "no it isn't." It's really nonsensical to say you ...

Yes, it does. Causing, partially or otherwise, an immoral act entails moral responsibility, partial or otherwise.

So all I need is a self-serving reason to justify an immoral act? So, I guess then I can steal food as long as I'm going to eat it.

Partial responsibility means still responsible, yes.

I live there currently. I'm a dual citizen.

It's Marx's 200th birthday. Marx was born in Trier, Germany, which is where the statue was sent, and China likes Marx. As a German citizen I can attes...

:cheer: :100: :ok:

That's what one does in a discussion about anything not meta. You have to assume certain things. All rights theorists are just self-important? Good to...

I doubt you can, but you can try. And. yes, if you could, I would.

This is a metaethical discussion. You may want to start a new thread.
