Every once in a while you need to be reminded not to bother addressing me. I have nothing to say to you, I consider you a bad actor (dishonest and foo...

Trying to find a compromise IS a political agenda in this case. They are trying to defend their sports from the total compromise of fairness and integ...

You have to look closer at that research. I understand they are trying to make policy but a year of hormone therapy doesn’t even the playing field by ...

Right?! She is clueless on trans, ignorant. You just have to listen to one of the god awful interviews celebrating her to realize it’s more about cele...

Well Caitlyn Jenner is a narcissistic meathead, not sure why anyone would want to listen to her regardless of topic. She would be an authority on winn...

Yes, it would be overreaching to say it wasn’t at least possible. I’m not saying you did, I intended only to clarify. I don’t know how often denial is...
May 18, 2021 at 00:17
Denial is not always a fear reaction, so atheism is not always a fear reaction. So associating fear based denial with atheism is fallacious. Sure, you...
May 17, 2021 at 22:34
Well said but I wondered how you are defining religion there. All religions reference a higher power, if not an outright god then at least some form o...

Sorry I accidentally hit the post button, there was more to my last comment. Anyway, worse outcomes=discrimination needs to be backed up with some evi...

There are fundamental biological differences among some groups. I don’t recall agreeing to the assumption there isn’t. Those are not mutually exclusiv...
May 12, 2021 at 18:13
Describe the differences in demographics however you like, makes no difference to my point. Why did you ask the question then? And why wouldn’t you ju...
May 12, 2021 at 17:32
Based on the traits of each demographic. There are general trends within demographics. (Cultural, biological etc) It would be specific to each case. I...
May 12, 2021 at 17:04
I don’t think the groups will naturally corespondent to the demographics. Certain professions for example attract certain kinds of people. These profe...
May 11, 2021 at 20:51
Well in the context of race/gender etc I think the idea for some is that the proper metric for a fair group selection is diversity. That idea is about...

The difference is that “outcome by merit” means the most qualified person gets the job (for example), based upon n the merits of their qualifications....

Ethics isn’t the study of what you should do its more specific that that. It would be the study of what you do according to an ethical standard. It is...
May 10, 2021 at 05:57
Well couldn’t something be a fact and be relative? I’m not sure those two terms are mutually exclusive in the way you are using them. Time is relative...
May 07, 2021 at 01:25
Ya ya, if you wanna be all reasonable and measured. Pft. :wink: ...anyway, your enlightened response to his shenanigans aside I think my point still s...

Isn’t antinatalism an ideology? If not, doesn’t it become ideological if the anti-Natalist cannot let the subject go and everything they “contribute” ...
May 05, 2021 at 03:42
Ya no kidding. Its nice to see him try something new to discuss. Especially such a rich question with no relation to Antinatalism whatsoever. How it d...

Your mistake is thinking that the magical thinking of theology stays in theology. Its not physics they have trouble with, its thinking. Also, Dunning ...

Your eyes are pieces of your brain. They did not connect with each other at some point in our evolution. The brain grows, and part of it grows into th...
April 29, 2021 at 18:37
Your eye IS your brain. Human eyes literally grow out from the brain as it develops. Your eyes and brain are essentially the same organ so its not a m...
April 29, 2021 at 15:54
The point you are asking about is whether money outweighs morality, right? Not whether or not 100 million dollars can do enough good to outweigh the p...
April 27, 2021 at 23:45
I still am sure of the obvious moral answer. I asked about the other answers but you couldn't be bothered to answer. You were specific about there bei...
April 27, 2021 at 23:12
Ok, well you are clearly not interested in discussion. You have no rational reason for your claims and have a clear bias against pot.
April 27, 2021 at 22:52
Google Daryl Davies. His “act of submission” has done more to cure racism than all community banishing of racists combined because banishing a racist ...

If thats your situation then I’m sorry that happened to you but it doesnt mean smoking pot is bad, it would at best mean smoking pot and driving is ba...
April 27, 2021 at 14:27
Maybe, what answers are you talking about?
April 27, 2021 at 14:22
Is this supposed to be a dilemma? The correct moral choice is clear, save the person on the tracks. Are you seriously asking if people should value mo...

What I meant by that was that he was driving while high, as opposed to just being high. The problem, maybe, is driving while high. The fact that peopl...
April 24, 2021 at 20:16
Well smoking weed wouldn't be what caused the car accident and wheelchair harm. Pretty obviously it was something to do with the driving, possibly fro...
April 23, 2021 at 13:31
I think you need more parameters. Are we trying to preserve the most innocent life? What would the 100 serial killers going free have to do with the s...
April 19, 2021 at 04:54
Why would we assume this? In what way is that better?
April 19, 2021 at 03:18
Dude is mentally ill, he’s psychologically incapable of stopping. Thats my guess. Some sort of personality disorder. So its a waste of time, but whate...
April 16, 2021 at 03:05
My mistake, apologies.
April 16, 2021 at 03:01
Yet still you engage. Just stop feeding him and he’ll go away.
April 16, 2021 at 02:13
Nothing worse than a well fed troll. I don’t understand the masochism displayed by some of our more educated members to engage. I havent seen a single...

Whats comforting is that death isnt the end. Fear of death is at the heart of every fairy tale about an after life. The exact nature of the afterlife ...

None of those are unanswerable. The question of whether god exists is answered, its just people who believe in god and certain types of fence sitters ...
April 13, 2021 at 18:06
I don’t know how to respond to that.
April 10, 2021 at 01:21
I was actually asking which courage you were referring, not being sarcastic or snide if that mattered in you decision to ignore the question. Anyway, ...
April 09, 2021 at 23:19
What courage are you referring to? Also, Its not cowardice to not trust someone in fatmans position. He has good reasons to sabotage if he is the type...
April 09, 2021 at 23:04
And if he does the latter, who can blame him? He’s trying to survive after all.
April 09, 2021 at 22:56
Nah, just as for his consent. Giving him the dynamite only risks sabotage if he makes the wrong decision. :wink:
April 09, 2021 at 22:51
You’ve still done nothing more to defend your position. Anyway, which assertion and why exactly is it insulting? Also, I cannot follow how your food s...
April 09, 2021 at 18:08
Im not a utilitarian, my reasoning wasn’t dependent on the greatest amount of good for the most people. I would say the same thing if it was fatman an...
April 09, 2021 at 17:50
The most egregious moral violation is fatman, who is clearly acting immorally and selfishly. The second worst violation is the man stopping the others...
