So Hilary forced her to stack the DNC in her favor, or bribed her or something?
January 02, 2017 at 00:37
I am still not sure how it is Hilary who is responsible for the cheating?
January 02, 2017 at 00:32
So your claiming the DNC cheated and Sanders would have won more delegates than Hilary if the DNC had been truly impartial?
January 02, 2017 at 00:27
Yes but Hilary had more delegates than Sanders, how did she cheat to get them?
January 02, 2017 at 00:19
I am not sure how it is cheating though? Why is it cheating if the DNC supports the candidate they believe is stronger?
January 02, 2017 at 00:11
As long as you are not implying that truth is not contingent upon facts I have no issues.
January 02, 2017 at 00:04
Cheated?
January 01, 2017 at 23:55
Well I don't agree that Hilary is at the same spot on the spectrum as Trump. I did not intend to say that Trump is as bad as Stalin or Hitler, but giv...
January 01, 2017 at 23:42
I think we do agree on at least the point that truth value is contingent upon the facts. That is basically what my position is as well.
January 01, 2017 at 23:36
If Trump was a fascist would his supporters be able to tell? Hitler was definitely a fascist but the people in his party saw that as a strength. I wou...
January 01, 2017 at 22:41
Have a good day then.
January 01, 2017 at 22:26
Then we actually agree. Truth value is contingent on facts.
January 01, 2017 at 22:21
Yes, if the truth of the statement "all truths are subjective" is contingent on objective facts. What does that imply about what truth is contingent u...
January 01, 2017 at 22:17
So if it was not an empirical fact that "all truths are subjective" what consequences would this have on the statement?
January 01, 2017 at 22:16
So "all truths are subjective" is contingent on empirical facts, that is your position?
January 01, 2017 at 22:14
No it would be the same in that we could say that all x are y refers to an objective fact.
January 01, 2017 at 22:10
Let me try again Presumably there is some reason or argument which demonstrates that "All truths are subjective' is an objective fact. My position is ...
January 01, 2017 at 22:06
This does not make any sense to me, I have no idea what you are asking?
January 01, 2017 at 22:02
I did answer. Presumably you understand why your claim refers to an objective fact. The same applies to all x are y
January 01, 2017 at 22:00
I was agreeing with you. You said it was unfortunate. You can read the post as "yes it is unfortunate"
January 01, 2017 at 21:55
Sorry you believe I have an attitude. I have been clear about what I am saying.
January 01, 2017 at 21:46
Yeah that is too bad.
January 01, 2017 at 21:42
This should answer any questions you have. I am saying that "All x are y" refers to an objective fact in exactly the same way that "All truth is subje...
January 01, 2017 at 21:40
On my view "all x are y" refers to an objective fact in the same way that "all truths are subjective" refers to an objective fact.
January 01, 2017 at 21:37
Then that is what I am saying as well.
January 01, 2017 at 21:35
Are you saying that subjective is a property of truth?
January 01, 2017 at 21:33
sure but I am not saying that x and y are the same thing just like you are not saying that truth and subjective are the same thing
January 01, 2017 at 21:30
it is referring to x
January 01, 2017 at 21:25
Can you prove that the sentence does not refer to an objective fact?
January 01, 2017 at 21:24
All x are y is a sentence that refers to the objective fact.
January 01, 2017 at 21:20
You asked what the sentence all x are y refers to, I am saying it refers to a the objective fact.
January 01, 2017 at 21:16
That all x are y.
January 01, 2017 at 21:13
No it is referring to the objective fact.
January 01, 2017 at 21:12
It is referring to the objective fact that all x are y.

January 01, 2017 at 20:06
ah thanks
January 01, 2017 at 20:05
That doesn't explain why it is not an objective fact that all x are y. Prove that all x are y is not an objective fact.
January 01, 2017 at 20:04
I would say that philosophy is a much broader subject than religion. I would say that all religions are a part of philosophy.

A reply to your own post buttons, so you can hyperlink things you have already wrote?
December 31, 2016 at 21:57
Shucks I don't know. You are just funny, that's all.
December 31, 2016 at 21:45
But you said it was a valid form for an objective fact. Why should it not be an objective fact?
December 31, 2016 at 21:38
I have already plugged in the variables. x and y. Is it an objective fact that all x are y?
December 31, 2016 at 21:30
So is it an objective fact or not?
December 31, 2016 at 21:26
Do you agree. "All x are y" This is not an objective fact is it? It does not correspond to anything objective.
December 31, 2016 at 21:20
"All x are y" Is not an objective fact.
December 31, 2016 at 21:16
I get what you are saying. You are saying that the term "truth" and the term "subjective" mean the same thing, but that is not an objective fact
December 31, 2016 at 21:11
forgot what I said
