Shut up? Who am I kidding?? :smile: Put another simpler way.... If we abandon interpretations of experience, all that's left is experience, and that's...
I understand what you're saying. What I'm very imperfectly attempting to do is encourage readers to follow the logic trail on their own, thus I'm deli...
None of your analysis matters at all. You're completely ignoring the purpose of this thread, which again is... WHO CAN BEAT TRUMP?? That's the first t...
Just for fun I'll try to phrase this in your kind of language. What if God has answered the question we've been asking in the God debate? "What is The...
Not any point I made. I'm making an argument for out of the box candidates, with Mattis being only an example. I clearly said in my opening post I don...
Do you want to beat Trump, or not? Why is everyone being so shy about such a simple question? What is preventing you from typing, "Yes, I want to beat...
It's your claim, you do the homework and present it to us. Until then I'm sticking with NPR. I apologize for the cap locks, but you are blatantly igno...
We did that already. We lost. So.... Who specifically? Which Democrat? Again, it doesn't matter if a candidate "represents democratic aspirations and ...
The story I heard on NPR, a media outlet I trust a bit more than anonymous strangers on the Internuts, that Mattis has been a life long Democrat. That...
Yes, there is plenty of evidence that we are incapable of finding The Answer to the largest of questions, we agree on that. But we don't have to accep...
You make good points, but you've fallen in to the trap of not addressing the question at hand, which is.... Do you want Trump to have another 6 years ...
And millions of utterly innocent people were pointlessly slaughtered by explicitly atheist regimes over the last century, a real world fact I see you ...
Yes, and imho, that is a correct answer, but it is phrased in language that is foreign to many in the modern audience. We might attempt an updated tra...
Ok, no problem, I seem to lose everybody, so you are not alone. Part of the problem is perhaps that I'm trying not to spoon feed ideas but instead lay...
Ok, so once we've dismissed all arguments for or against the existence of God, then what? I agree with your analysis, and would like to see where you ...
Yes, that's part of it. Though I must admit I find the comparisons between science and religion which dominate philosophy forums to be overblown. The ...
Gotta agree, and it's going to have to be rock solid evidence of a serious crime, so that the Republican Senate has no choice but to convict. The next...
And yet it is the more technological, more scientific, more educated societies which are leading the pell mell rush towards civilization collapse. It'...
Why did religion arise in the first place? That's a discussion about religion which need not either attack or promote religion. To me, the rational pr...
For you, and many of our other members, the first step might be this... Forget about religion. Get over it already and move on. Religion clearly is a ...
Except um, this would also be true of the person (like me for example) claiming that they don't know what they're talking about. If it's true the subj...
And thanks for the thread. Sure, agreed. But, to be clear, that's not what I'm referring to in my comments. Personally, I'm referring to the tension b...
I've been making a similar point in many threads, so count me in as being in agreement. It makes perfect sense to me that if there is something like a...
Good point. It seems an issue of timing. Sooner or later the polarization fad pendulum will swing in the other direction. When exactly that will happe...
Good point. Bernie was remarkably successful too, for a guy who calls himself a socialist. Yes, if we could identify non-voting Dems and get them off ...
Ok, but where in the "scientifically valid understanding of reality" has any working scientist argued for limiting science research? With a few except...
Well, taken as a whole, men are evil. Turn on your TV, and observe who it is that is ripping so many societies to shreds. The marriage between violent...
Right, that's the thing, what are their chances? Having a particular philosophy doesn't matter if one doesn't get elected, such as the last Bernie typ...
In my view, the best candidate for the country is anybody but Trump. I hear what you're saying, generally wise advice, but this is an extreme situatio...
Could Mattis win the Democratic nomination? That's probably the big hole in my theory. The fact that he served in the Trump administration may doom hi...
I wonder how happy they are with that decision now? But, I hear what you're saying and don't really disagree. If the Dems were to run a progressive ca...
Mattis is of course a general, who is apparently not shy about his job of fighting wars. That's going to turn some people off. I can see every battlef...
I updated my quickie comment to add a bit more intelligent analysis above. Yes, I am a Bernie fan, and agree with what you just said above. I agree th...
I'm sorry to say this, but it appears the Afghans have had 20 years to get their act together and have been unable to do so. And now America has run o...
Imho, far too few of such folks to matter. I just can't picture the person who voted for Trump now voting for Warren. My guess is that all Dems are go...
And the point of this mutual faith based operation is to try to make reality smaller, within our grasp. Very understandable and very human, but... Rea...
This is human logic. Please prove that human logic is qualified to address any subject of any scale anywhere in all of reality, because that is the sc...
Hey, General Mattis just bailed out of the Trump administration, leaving the Sec Of Def job. NPR has been doing some stories on him as a result and fi...
Stop fooling around feeding those stupid homeless people and bring me a latte bitch, and I mean RIGHT NOW! YAP, YAP, YAP! I want to talk to the manage...
A way to counter my wrongful assumption would be to prove that wagging our fingers in people's faces and accusing them of moral crimes is the most eff...
Everyday experience tends to revolve around human beings. Human beings have thousands of hydrogen bombs aimed down our own throats, an ever pending su...
