They're different ethnic groups, different "racial" groups... If you want call them different sub-groups of the same race go ahead but you're blatantl...
I think that racial categories are much more complex than just "black/white/asian/etc...". For instance, the Pygmy people are ethnically different fro...

If reproductive capacity is diminishing, it probably has something to do with modern medicine helping infertile women get pregnant along with modern m...
It must be, or we're back where this all started: staring at amorphous shadows projected on cave walls. When it comes to the "post-modern" rejection o...
The AAA aren't the one's looking into the verifiable genetic mechanisms which actually produce the trends of characteristics we call "race", they're n...

Taking exception with a handful of aspects of modern society isn't really a strong enough argument to convince everyone that "progress" is not progres...
I find this topic very interesting but I also find it very difficult to just rush into it without covering some ground-work to begin with. The first i...
Originally liquor had some value to us because it's a liquid that keeps for a very long time, whereas water tends to go stagnant, but whatever our ori...
The examples of code you gave are both sexy and terrifying. I think programmers moved way from languages like these because they can be harder to read...
Here is the best I can do in short time and without loops! public int makeChocolate(int small, int big, int goal) { int remainder = goal%5; if (goal >...
If you need to actually hit all of those index values then dividing the work pf two nested loops into a single un-nested would just create a loop of p...
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with nested loops other than it carries the chance of iterating through index values which are redunda...
Well, nested loops are the bread and butter of writing concise code! Can you show me an example solution to that problem which does not use a nested l...
Right now I'm building a thermodynamics simulator as a learning project, it's coming along fairly nicely. You mentioned web development, have you used...
Whiles and elses just to be different (this code is called "processing", which is a library of functions for javascript)... int count= 1; float sum = ...
When force is applied perpendicular to an arch structure, it should provide great resistance if it's a true arch. Likewise, when we have thoughts whic...

So then Tchaikovsky was a failed and sub-par human because he divorced and failed to have children or be successfully intimate with a woman. What make...
When you're in the MAD club and you notice one of your counter-parts is building anti-missile tech, it might start to make you nervous that should the...
I don't agree that our "telos" or "final causes" are morally obligatory to pursue or uphold. Your moral argument from teleology indicates that I shoul...
You're presuming too much: "what she thinks" is not irrelevant and describing sex as my "sole intention" is a bit misleading. It might be a main inten...
If love isn't designed then the necessary ends of love (what you suggest are morally necessary to uphold) become the result of evolutionary dice rolls...
Sacrifices are always innocent, that's what makes them pure and worthy of god's appreciation. The guilty parties are the one's the sacrifice is for. I...
I wish you would communicate your arguments as clearly as your insults... More virtue ethics.... O.k, let me rephrase your position: "approaching wome...
I bring God into it because that's the only other source of "why love is what it is" (with it's specific telos, etc...) that I can imagine you have in...
"disposed of?" Isn't that an arbitrarily negative way to look at one night stands? The woman leaves of her own accord, or I do. Nobody is disposing of...
Juxtaposing sex and cannibalism does not actually demonstrate that sex is inherently harmful, it just rhetorically (via sophistry) compares the two an...
Saying "agreeing to have casual sex with someone is like agreeing to eat someone alive" is comparing them. Why bother making the juxtaposition if not ...
By this logic it's never moral to ever approach a woman with the intention of pursuing a romantic relationship because that sexually objectifies her a...
By comparing the two situations you're mplying that "sex" is harmful on some level of comparison to which "handing out cyanide" is harmful. By saying ...
Can't say I disagree with any of that. In this humble discussion Aug and I have been having, "casual sex" and sometimes "meaningless sex" is just shor...
Well I've already been through my tom-cat days, and compared to some of my friends from child-hood I've led a somewhat conservative sexual life-style ...
Well once I was drunk and a very sexually aggressive chick took advantage of me. That's the only sex I actually regret, and while I hold myself only p...
Not quite. I keep reiterating that if a woman is dressed sexually and at a bar then it is reasonable and appropriate to think that sex might have some...
O.k, to be fair you compared sex and cannibalism to denying intimacy sex to one's spouse (which is somehow equally disturbing), although you do later ...
You didn't catch my bit about glory holes? If you want to argue that there's always some emotion during sex, that's fine and I'm not a psychologist wh...
