I don’t know what response you could possibly expect from me, given the see through attempt to manufacture something to mock about me in your posts.

No its not. An Ad Hom is when I attack the person instead of the argument. I wasnt addressing an argument. Identifying when someone is allowing their ...
April 25, 2020 at 23:51
I understand you might feel the need to chime in, luckily I wasnt talking to either of you so you can ignore me. Win win.
April 25, 2020 at 22:46
I would say the shit those folk have to take over their shenanigans is lesser in scope and frequency. There isnt the same venom, nor as many people on...

TDS is not mythical. Maybe it gets tossed around too much as such terms do, but I have met and witnessed it many times. Ive noticed the time and energ...

:100: (edited to add that, it didnt work the first time) It is just as dishonest for people to claim he was suggesting people ingest bleach as it is f...

His defence of Trump and his refusal to placate for the most part. Because of Trump Derangement Syndrome, he has been relegated to a category of perso...

Ok, so is that individual good translate to the group? I would argue that it doesnt, that the group consideration is different since now you also have...
April 25, 2020 at 17:10
Sure, lets say that all moral due diligence is done in that scenario, so as you laid it out that act is justified morally, it is good for the individu...
April 25, 2020 at 16:28
That book is very similar to what you’ve talked about so far. You are operating around one of the “peeks” of the moral landscape, you just do mot real...
April 25, 2020 at 15:37
Have you read “the Moral Landscape” by Sam Harris?
April 25, 2020 at 14:50
Ok, so your central claim seems to be that what is good for the individual is whats good for the group aa long as the good is defined as not doing har...
April 25, 2020 at 14:27
Well Im not sure how that would change that there are exceptions to your claim that haven't been accounted for. How exactly do you mean objectively va...
April 24, 2020 at 19:27
P1 is not true at all. Many large groups of humans value things that are not beneficial to all humanity. Its arguable humanity as a whole doesnt value...
April 24, 2020 at 13:09
Your conclusion should be that unsupported belief has a high probability of being less valuable to humanity (where chaotic consequences are bad for hu...

See? However we may disagree we will always have Franky to agree on. :wink:
April 21, 2020 at 18:19
Yes yes, :100: , but that doesnt matter to Frank Apisa, and even if it did he lacks the comprehension to accept he is wrong on this. He is a fanatical...
April 21, 2020 at 15:24
Lol, being wrong that many times in a row would make me sleepy too.
April 20, 2020 at 14:06
Ok, but Im not going to argue with Fool with you as a proxy. I'm talking to you about what you said.
April 20, 2020 at 04:24
Well its a broad term that you are incorrectly using specifically. Like in my human/doctor analogy. Anyway, you’ve jumped to the word irreligious now,...
April 20, 2020 at 04:06
I get that, but so what? Whats the relevance of whether I agree with the first sentence in someone else's post? I actually think there are a lot off e...
April 19, 2020 at 23:59
What does that have to do with what I said?
April 19, 2020 at 23:44
No, polytheist and pantheist are types of theism so that wouldnt make any sense. Im not sure, but I would guess there are words for animosity towards ...
April 19, 2020 at 23:15
“irreligious” includes opposing religion, not knowing religion and not choosing a religion. Its not specific to opposing religion, the same way the wo...
April 19, 2020 at 19:06
Well those are idiosyncratic definitions of anti-theism and irreligion, but ok. So “anti-theism” is only opposed to theistic beliefs when its “atheism...
April 19, 2020 at 14:28
I dont know if we are talking past each other or what...lets start from the beginning. Atheism is about whether or not god exists, anti-theism is abou...
April 19, 2020 at 08:26
Right, we are discussing where we disagree. I directly addressed what you said and then pointed out how your rebuttals failed. If I got something wron...
April 19, 2020 at 07:34
I didnt see that, did you add it after the initial post to Fool? i didnt get an alert to that one. Ok, so yes I disagree. First, anti-theism is not al...
April 19, 2020 at 04:22
I waa referencing my first post that disagreed an anti theist must be an atheist as well. Then you made a second post to Fool which I agreed with but ...
April 19, 2020 at 01:34
Well I still disagree with that other thing you said lol
April 19, 2020 at 01:13
Well now I agree with you. Good point.
April 19, 2020 at 00:52
This I agree with, the two words do not mean the same thing. Anti-theism is pretty clearly about religion and ideology surrounding god, not the existe...
April 19, 2020 at 00:48
Not sure I agree with you here, one could be an anti-theist but not an atheist. One could believe in god and hate/resent god for his biblical acts and...
April 19, 2020 at 00:43
I do not think you can define evil by itself, I think you need to define what is evil and what is good at the same time, as one is meaningless without...
April 18, 2020 at 23:29
There is something very confusing about the way you are framing this. Baden gave you everything you need to answer your question, the terms you are as...
April 18, 2020 at 07:06
What is a non-theistic religion?
April 17, 2020 at 19:19
Well ya, the memory wipe is removing the experience and the experience is what makes the thing worthwhile. However, this scenario does nothing to make...
April 09, 2020 at 13:58
The end of life is arbitrary? Seems pretty cut and dry to me, you read the book and it ends when your done reading, you live the life and it ends when...
April 09, 2020 at 03:53
I dont think that makes sense. If you swap out life for other things your logic doesnt seem to hold, and so you would need to show why life in particu...
April 08, 2020 at 23:17
Amen Sushi. Unfortunately the TDS is going to get worse before it gets better. (On both sides btw, I see TDS on both sides, constantly.) There is stil...
April 02, 2020 at 13:30
See it really seems like a blind spot for you, and Im not trying to be a prick. Im a Trumpist?! I imagine we mostly agree on what kind of character th...
March 29, 2020 at 04:35
Non-sequitor, i was providing an example of news spreading falsehoods about Trump not a reference to Trumps character. Im not rejecting anything as ra...
March 28, 2020 at 22:50
Right, and it was repeated and exaggerated. Thats an example of spreading falsehoods in my books.
March 28, 2020 at 22:22
It only seems like a double standard because of your low reading comprehension. Ive already explained this failure on your part but evidently you didn...
March 28, 2020 at 21:26
Not offhand no, it was a story about how that audio was an admission of guilt for sexual assault and I saw it referenced elsewhere (re-reported). Sorr...
March 28, 2020 at 20:20
If at any time they didn't play that important part of the recording for context it was a falsehood. It gives the condemnable words context, and witho...
March 28, 2020 at 20:00
You asked for an example of him being misrepresented in the news, which I provided. Whether it fits an overall narrative about Trump is another matter...
March 28, 2020 at 18:25
A good example is “pussygate”. I felt like the incident was pretty thoroughly misreported on CNN and most other media. First, they left out what proce...
March 28, 2020 at 16:39
Lucy? Fun, but not based on anything real.
March 27, 2020 at 22:50
In my experience its about the same, the fringe on both sides unless you include the media and even then the anti-trump or pro trump media both equall...
