Where are you from? I talk to friends on a regular basis from all over the world. Netherlands, Norway, UK, Argentina, Denmark, Sweden, Canada, etc.......

The phrase carries a lot of baggage. Similar to the definition of God. Nobody would ever say, "When I say I believe in God, I am referring to this cof...

I hate that one too, arghhhhh
February 11, 2020 at 19:09
In this case, you're recognizing that it was an accident. "Nobody's perfect" in your example is similar to saying "Don't worry about it." - I think th...
February 11, 2020 at 19:08
There is no context where "nobody's perfect" is useful or helpful. Unless you're talking to 5-year olds, who think that some people may indeed be perf...

February 11, 2020 at 01:20
I'm unclear as to what purpose it serves? I guess the main concern here is, this is assuming that the person on the opposing end of that statement, do...

Of course Mary could be yelling in an unreasonable fashion, but a response from Harry such as "nobody is perfect", literally adds nothing to the situa...
February 11, 2020 at 01:04
I doubt the judge would think that phrase has some validity to it. Conclusion: The phrase was useless to say. The first part of the scenario's stateme...
February 10, 2020 at 21:05
This is a bit strange. Why would God be perfect if it existed?
February 10, 2020 at 21:01
Nothing is raw, as nothing happened to me. But I see many responses in forums, or parents of my friends talking to them in a similar way. I don't need...
February 10, 2020 at 20:59
I don't deny that the offender is a human being, but that's irrelevant when offering someone validation and/or compassion. If my daughter is raped, I ...
February 10, 2020 at 09:55
lol... I hate that one too. ffs -.-
February 10, 2020 at 07:50
I've been an Atheist for a while, and any time I have used amputees as an example against God's existence, it was never to demean the amputee. It was ...
February 10, 2020 at 07:49
If Religious people believe God is perfect, and that his word is perfect (which they all do), then yes. They should follow it literally and as precise...

A perfect book written by a "perfect" creator should not have something as trivial as interpretation stand in his way of conveying the most important ...
August 05, 2019 at 08:29
So I guess the 10 commandments are out of the water. And maybe you haven't read the New Testament, but there are things in there that are just as ridi...
July 19, 2019 at 08:53
Yes, Paul conveyed those ideas, but Jesus was not against slavery in the slightest. Jesus recommends that disobedient slaves should be beaten (Luke 12...
July 19, 2019 at 08:45
Thats exactly my point. People pick and choose what they want to abide by according to their interpretation of the scripture. I’d say 99% of people ar...
July 16, 2019 at 23:09
Let me rephrase the statement for NKBJ. Would this be more convincing? 'I evaluate veganism as morally better to omnviorism' Other examples: 'I evalua...
January 25, 2019 at 22:15
That's an ignorant thing to quote. You're essentially saying, unless someone is perfect, they cannot judge others who are also not perfect. So as I ha...
January 23, 2019 at 00:29
What are you talking about? It's very simple. You are not against human rights. I am not against animal rights. You don't pretend to be a champion for...

Also just in case you were wondering, have you bought anything on this list? List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor https://www.dol.gov...

Ask Yourself came out with a recent video talking about people who try and deploy this "Vegans are hypocrites" nonsense. You should check it out. http...
January 18, 2019 at 01:15
I've read through most of your posts on the 1st and 2nd page, and I have a question for you. Are you against human trafficking or human slavery? If so...
January 18, 2019 at 01:14
No worries. Let's just move on and chalk up this discussion as a miscommunication.
January 09, 2019 at 20:11
No, I don't agree. But seeing as we are going to go around in circles and disagree on how things are defined or used, let's just end the convo here. S...
January 09, 2019 at 00:34
You said it is not a particular, while I say it is. Do we just end the convo there?
January 08, 2019 at 18:27
I don’t understand why you aren’t answering my question. This is the 3rd time now, for this specific question. Do you agree that what you described is...
January 08, 2019 at 09:56
I told you I understand that already. And to frame your particulars/universals in the axiom context, I'll do it this way. Universal: An axiom Particul...
January 07, 2019 at 23:44
Can we go back to definitions for a second, to make this as clear as possible. law of noncontradiction = something cannot both be and not be. what you...
January 07, 2019 at 22:00
Yes I understand the difference, but you could do the same thing with baldness. You could say this. having no hair = abstract a bare scalp = particula...
January 07, 2019 at 21:30
This is what you said... I then responded and said, what you described is extremely similar (if not identical) to the law of non-contradiction or the ...
January 07, 2019 at 21:19
So to be clear, would you be fine killing mentally disabled people for food, since they cannot reciprocate your behavior (insofar as that allows you b...
January 04, 2019 at 19:20
I'll respond to you in a little bit. I got side-tracked with forum psychologists who want to criticize the alleged virtue signaler.
January 04, 2019 at 18:32
You seem to have the patience to criticize, but not to offer a solution and/or provide examples of the thing you claim is wrong. As I told Jake, I'll ...
January 04, 2019 at 18:28
So my assumption was correct, in the fact that you will not provide an actual example. But instead, you'd rather just throw a blanket statement over y...
January 04, 2019 at 18:19
What you are referring to is either the law of noncontradiction or the law of identity. Either way, those two things are both axioms which do not have...
January 04, 2019 at 18:11
To reiterate clearly, this is what I want from you, since you are criticizing my methods of discussion/debate. 1. Show me an example of me doing what ...
January 04, 2019 at 09:10
You entirely missed the point. I wasn't referring to my views or my axioms. I was referring to axioms themselves and how they actually operate. And th...
January 04, 2019 at 09:00
Terrapin believes he can call axioms 'objective facts' when it comes to logic. But when an axiom is held within ethics, he calls it preference. This i...
January 03, 2019 at 23:25
You made the claim that I am more focused with displaying my moral superiority, rather than focusing on the animals. I asked you to back up this claim...
January 03, 2019 at 23:20
Still waiting for you to quote me. You told me my sole intent is to display moral superiority. Please quote me talking to someone on here, where it se...
January 03, 2019 at 22:48
Because it is not? The law of noncontradiction is an axiom one needs to accept before proceeding into the terrain of logic. Once you accept that axiom...
January 03, 2019 at 22:47
You are perceiving me to be as such, but I have no ill will toward you. I also am not intending to talk down upon you in some patronizing way. It's so...
January 03, 2019 at 22:36
Did you read anything else I wrote to you? This isn't about a disagreement. You are incorrect in labeling something as an objective fact, when it is n...
January 03, 2019 at 22:31
You are referring to the law of noncontradiction and the law of identity. Both of these laws are AXIOMS that one must accept before moving forward. Th...
January 03, 2019 at 22:26
Can you explain this further, because I don't understand what you are referring to. How is logic based on objective relations? What objective relation...
January 03, 2019 at 20:54
Quote me where I actually have acted in a way that displays a sole purpose of moral superiority. I didn't tell you to quote me saying that people have...
January 03, 2019 at 19:09
Depends on how you define "true", but I will answer in two different ways. True, meaning an objective fact about reality, then no. True, meaning a cor...
