Re "or most atheists," I wasn't speaking for anyone else. Re my second point, "there's nothing that I'd even remotely consider evidence of a god empir...
It's based on different things to different atheists. There's no one common justification for all of them. All that atheists have in common is the lac...
Someone could interpret your actions in a manner that doesn't match your motivations, sure. I wasn't following the whole discussion by the way. I just...
He wrote, "Also, there are no temporary bans. That's written in the rules. Which we stick to," The response to give is, "There are currently no tempor...
That there are no temporary bans in the rules was given as a reason for not introducing a temporary ban. That's not a good reason for not having tempo...
Yeah, I agree with that. I'd say that part of what that particular emotion entails is that you perform certain sorts of actions towards the object of ...
An attitude I despise, because it's the source of a lot of problems in the world. Jamalrob and whoever else made up the rules. You can make up whateve...
Yes. I'd be skeptical of any claim about what most of any group of millions of people thought over 100 years ago.(Or even today, since no one is polli...
I wouldn't say that. One thing I said was that I don't consider any speech immoral. That doesn't imply that I think there's no need to ever take anyon...
?? You just said you didn't take the SAT. You're not in the US apparently. Some people get relatively poor scores on the reading comprehension section...
Then maybe you could explain it to me in a way that makes sense. What specific military action do you think the initial post of the thread is asking a...
Really, I was trying to figure out what the F boethius was on about, because it made no sense to me. I gave my response to whether I think the militar...
Did you try the Stanford encyclopedia? For example, this section of the Heidegger article might be helpful to you: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/...
You take the SAT in high school. It doesn't have anything to do with getting a degree. It has to do with getting into college/university. It's a test ...
Because you consistently demonstrate that you didn't understand what was written. If the sentences are fine, then your reading comprehension is what's...
A war wouldn't ensue if everyone decided to not serve, of course. There would be no one to start a war. But it's not going to be the case that everyon...
That sounds like you're assuming a whole package of likely actions that you're reading the lie to be a beacon for, and you're saying that you want the...
Maybe a temporary ban would work for S? I don't know if we usually do temporary bans. But give him a month off or whatever and maybe that would enable...
That's too bad. I liked pattern-chaser . . . and actually didn't realize he'd split until you just pointed this out. But yeah, I haven't seen any post...
One thing we might be missing here, re making it explicit (I was assuming this would be understood), is that morality isn't just preferences about int...
RIght, so then you'd not prefer that the doctor do the thing that you consider immoral--lying about your kid's health. It wouldn't make sense to say "...
You'd not prefer that the doctor lie to you about your kid's health, right? (This is ignoring, by the way, the comments about contractual obligations ...
He almost immediately said that he only suggested banning because he felt he was spending too much time here. In other words, he didn't really want to...
By continuous examples of you not being able to understand relatively simple sentences. If you want to try to explain supposed problems with the sente...
I didn't read through every post since I last addressed frank, but for anyone, did we ever sort through just what we're using "truth" to refer to? Tha...
It's pretty childish to ban someone over that, though, especially given the comments he'd made after that. (Which isn't to say that that wasn't a chil...
By the way, you're also not even understanding this sentence: "The 'there is no free will' crowd always wants to appeal to it being a standard view or...
You didn't at all understand my post. The category error occurs in saying that a person, overall, can be morally valuable or not. Also that's not what...
The issue is if you're positing reason as a platonic form. In that case it's not mental. It's a real abstract whatever-the-heck-platonic-forms-are-sup...
In my view there are a lot of problems with this including that "everything that x represents" is every way every single individual has ever thought a...
Let's say that we can show that x is causal to y, in the sense of x forcing y. If S does x to R, so that y results in R, I wouldn't necessarily say th...
