I didnt say that, I offered no opinion about his statements at all. I was noticing that your problem is his opinion, not his post “quality”. What woul...

Ya, his opinions. You wanted Baden to intervene because you didnt like his opinions.

He didnt state any opinions in the history you “looked” through? How does that work?

He got banned for that stuff in the Life is Sacred thread? That doesnt seem worse than alot of other poor posters that go unbanned...was it because of...
November 22, 2019 at 18:50
Well it doesnt present a problem for the point im making, the facts about his crimes etc are irrelevant...but yes it was just the first person I thoug...

If the person has an emotional attachment to the comatose person, and values that attachment then the comatose person has value of a kind. It doesnt m...

Sounds accurate to me.
November 21, 2019 at 22:16
Ok, I understand. Buzzwords and labels.

Us?
November 21, 2019 at 05:49
It only matters to me that a persons stance follows from the definition, that the position makes sense given the definition being used. The point of t...

Your interjection is misapplied, the part you quoted was not specifically about what you went on to rebut. Some sort of mutated strawman. To your poin...
November 20, 2019 at 16:46
You aren’t engaging with what Im saying, just repeating yourself. I Heard you the first time.
November 20, 2019 at 16:31
You’ve Just repeated points ive addressed already. Its not a harmful way of speaking, you just think that because you are being racially sensitive. “B...
November 19, 2019 at 15:49
Well that is an example if a cultural difference, not a physical one. People notice cultural differences between races as well sure, but we have been ...
November 18, 2019 at 15:24
Well yes, that is what Im saying. Some of these physical differences we categorise as “race”. Thats all I mean, and thats all most people mean when th...
November 17, 2019 at 15:38
Its not a “vast array”, and I didnt say “all” physical characteristics. Its some. There are some physical characteristics that can be categorised by r...
November 16, 2019 at 14:39
I had included a caveat, the subject is society at large. So your points about the “self subject” or “someone subject” dont really address the questio...
November 16, 2019 at 06:36
Im not sure id go that far, but yes that is what I mean by trigger words. You scarcely have to do more than mention race and people pucker up tighter ...
November 15, 2019 at 23:48
Would that include people who constantly talk about white privilege? Im not sure your metric works, even just as a rule of thumb. Its not hard to tell...
November 15, 2019 at 21:06
I disagree, I dont think its difficult, nor nonsensical. People make it that way because of ideology and/or being triggered by a sensitive issue (race...
November 15, 2019 at 19:35
The difference in skin colour and differences in physical characteristics is what is meant by “race”. Thats what most people mean when they use the te...
November 15, 2019 at 13:40
Are you saying they should investigate both?
November 14, 2019 at 05:51
Lol, I wrote that down. “If you have truth dont wield it like an asshole”. Love it, thanks.

Could be boredom, Terra at least was on point, repeating the exact same talking points while lamenting how inadequate everyones responses were (always...
November 13, 2019 at 02:15
I dont know how else to put it other than what ive already said, sorry.
November 13, 2019 at 00:42
Hmmm, well I said religion, not god. So no tilting at windmills for me sir. Also, i was referencing you saying “only religious people have the potenti...
November 13, 2019 at 00:30
No ones claiming ONLY religious people have potential for great harm. Complete strawman, or tilting at windmills. To your overall point, good men do g...
November 12, 2019 at 23:25
Whether its the content or the posters or the topics is irrelevant, its just youre opinion. Thats not a good reason for doing what you suggest. So now...

He’s going to win again. The reasons he won the first time are still in place, and some reasons have become stronger.

Done, thanks.
November 12, 2019 at 22:36
How about a sub forum or archive for closed threads?
November 12, 2019 at 22:36
So according to you, none of what you said just there should be considered philosophy. That should all be moved to the lounge? Its just some superfici...

A sub forum or archive for closed threads?
November 12, 2019 at 22:25
I feel like I answered. Because people in the discourse believe in god. If they didnt...not so sure it would come up at all. Not like two atheists exp...
November 12, 2019 at 21:08
No, it would only require belief in god not gods actual existence. Universally present believers would (and do) have the same effect.

Thats interesting, I didnt know he was having his posts deleted. Can we know what kinds of posts he was making that had to be deleted? And the insult,...
November 12, 2019 at 20:17
It wasnt my thread.
November 12, 2019 at 16:51
Well you killed it in its infancy, it hadnt had much time to develop. I understand though, there are probably way too many such threads to let each on...
November 12, 2019 at 15:20
Presumably, I just wondered about the criteria. To me, if a thread is generating discussion it has merit even if the topic or OP is of low quality. Wh...
November 12, 2019 at 13:46
Asking for the “disappearing” of a sub forum, or having it “folded” elsewhere is asking for abolishment. You are removing it from the philosophical di...
November 12, 2019 at 12:30
Im aware that you asked for votes, and that you are very unlikely to bring about what you suggest. It is none the less shameful for anyone claiming an...
November 12, 2019 at 06:40
Right, your opinion is duly noted but thats not a good reason to abolish the religion forum. Obviously people enjoy and participate in that forum, so ...
November 12, 2019 at 05:56
Why do you want it closed?

That person would be a Chinese citizen of european descent/origin. They would not share the racial traits of a Chinese person, as these are genetic tr...
November 08, 2019 at 02:00
You did it again, that's exactly right. The “hate” part is what makes it racist. Simply recognising a group called “latinos” is not. The way you have ...

I fell behind cuz Im working, but just wanted to add something since Creativesoul is making the same point I would be making. Creativesoul is making t...
November 07, 2019 at 19:46
See you just referred to a group of people called asians and then denied there was a group of people called asians. That doesnt make sense.
November 07, 2019 at 18:17
I answered already, its not the colour/shade of the skin its about the genetics that inform that physical trait. I use skin colour because its a very ...
