Who said anything about assisted suicide? The quote of yours I responded too was about suicide being “totally self centred”. This is non-sequitur to b...

What does that matter? A lack of frequency alone doesn't justify ignoring the instances if it happening.

You ate equating speech with behaviour here. The point made was about being able to talk about suicide or how shitty life is, not about the act of sui...

I think its just as self centred to force a person to suffer through life just because other people aren’t comfortable with losing them. Thats just as...

Well a rational reason would be to end intolerable suffering or as a means to avoid future intolerable suffering. Whats intolerable is going to vary f...

I agree completely. There is a balance to be struck between helping those in need and respecting someones personal sovereignty. I think the resistance...

That is a good point, you pull people up not push people down for them to stand on. I think its a worthwhile distinction to break “privilege” down her...

You should check out Weinsteins podcast, The Portal. Its excellent.

How do you define “strong atheism”? Also, we do not have to be agnostic about the big bang because no one was there. Thats a fallacy actually.
July 26, 2020 at 21:51
Just Google “logical fallacies”. All the arguments for gods existence are listed under logical fallacy.

You joke, but the US military has admitted there are UFO’s, Times did a story on it, video, radar and thermographic evidence has been released and nob...

You have no idea if they would be inclined to build those things nor can you have any idea whether they would need to build those things. Those things...

I counter your proverbial Pandoras Box with the proverbial double edged sword. All things have negative consequences once discovered or “unleashed”. I...

You could say basically the same thing about marxist sjw types. Are they a threat? Its generally bad to have an enemy working against you, and general...
July 22, 2020 at 18:02
Lol, Im incorrigible what can I say.
July 17, 2020 at 14:35
Ya, youre right for once Benkei. My apologies Maw, that was harsh and uncalled for on my part.
July 16, 2020 at 21:29
Lol. Ok that made me laugh. Your a liar AND funny.
July 16, 2020 at 15:49
How about you address your dirtbag cherrypicking? You are dishonest, and when your blatant dishonesty is pointed out you just carry on as if it didnt ...
July 16, 2020 at 15:21
Well its direct, not indirect. Its straightforwardly denying that state granted right of free speech. Also, not sabotage. New hate speech laws and ame...
July 15, 2020 at 15:11
Thats true, the majority of these types of people are useful idiots to the cynical grabbers of power. I shouldnt say that the cynical grabbers arent s...
July 15, 2020 at 14:18
I cant disagree with any of that. I think it nets a negative, doing more harm than good. In contrast, its hard to see any significant negative effects...

I understand what you're saying, but I think you are conflating the motivations of the cancellers, or at least talking about a different motivation th...
July 15, 2020 at 00:01
I dont see anything to disagree with there. The tactics themselves are immoral to start with but even if we take it as granted that it isnt immoral th...

That doesnt answer why Im wring about Daryl Davies way being more effective. You are just saying that most people dint do it that way. That doesnt mea...
July 14, 2020 at 21:16
Well said.

Im very well versed in the incident. :up:

Im not familiar with the example or this Fox guy, but I would want Fox to be able to speak, and for others to explain why he is wrong. That will have ...

Ok, but I meant this as more about ideologies rather than strictly censorship/free speech. In that context, changing names of football games does noth...
July 14, 2020 at 14:01
Right, but I dont think it does, or at least it doesnt do as good a job of it than engaging/exposing the ideology. The people who are susceptible to b...

Yes, and I would also say having a someone in place to make a judgement call when the systems rules fail at the primary purpose fir which the system w...

So if someone disagrees with your assessment, or doesnt place the same value as you do on appearances then they have no brain or eyes (or lack the abi...

Why is it politically motivated? How did you determine that it was politically motivated rather than correcting an injustice? Im not buying this threa...
July 13, 2020 at 18:37
Still besides the point, but I dont blame you for being guarded.
July 13, 2020 at 17:56
It would be the opposite imo, if “striking miscarriage of justice“ occurred, then its moral and not corrupt to correct that injustice isnt it? Isnt a ...
July 13, 2020 at 17:54
Besides the point, you put spin on that. He lied, thats much different than not being 100% correct. I thought better of you than that, thats all.
July 13, 2020 at 17:15
Come on...not ”100% correct“? He lied under oath, which is a crime. Relativists point stands, his conviction for his crime was just and your position ...
July 13, 2020 at 16:29
I would go a step further than calling it a distraction, i would say its about power and control. There are useful idiots who participate in the PC an...

July 09, 2020 at 01:38
Ok, so that seems to contradict what you said in the above quote. Philosophy seems to have some practical value after all, and is useful in everyday l...
July 08, 2020 at 23:07
Ok, so are critical thinking and logic of practical value? Edited for clarity.
July 08, 2020 at 21:31
You arent answering the question, Im not sure why but you keep giving me Wishy washy non-sequators. Ill take the hint and leave you be.
July 08, 2020 at 15:48
Sure, thats fine. Im asking you if you think those two things fall under “philosophy”. Like, if you were to study critical thinking or logic, would I ...
