How did you know this about me? Was it in my name?

Deeper issues than all out war including civil war? What are these deeper issues?

This "others". Essentially I am not really aware of others. The only proof of I that I have is whatever the experience happens to be. Now I am not bei...

I think there is a way to both escape racism and escape being a racist. Just don't identify oneself as any race. And if you come across someone who wa...

It seems to me that we commonly regard the "non-physical" as being concepts. But concepts are physically heard even as thoughts. So either everything ...

I would argue also that current gun-control promotion within a civilized, policed, democratic society (unless you are a farmer), is merely a reflectio...

I can use the same idea, while still believing it within myself to be true of my character, and alter the sentence thus: "A minimum of two people invo...

I did say "crime" being prevented. Deaths will fall into that. I am not in the position of doing the survey. This is what existing surveys do. I am in...

If my argument is well supported for 1995 then was it not a good idea for citizens to be armed in 1995? Are you suggesting we are considerably more ev...

Does this mean you are arguing that armed citizens are not stopping criminals committing crimes out of proportion to gun deaths? Is that your argument...

Maybe choice 1 is the dreamworld. While I am technically asleep in my bed I usually have no perceptual thought arising informing the "dreamer" I am dr...

"Evil" is open to interpretation and personal opinion. Effectively, therefore, people can be regarded by other people as evil. It merely requires qual...
