I don’t think the GR is as fundamental as what Im talking about. Someone might be able to have a sensible moral theory without the GR in it but it can...

I gave a few examples of what I meant, things like internal consistency, meaning it is based on non-contradiction. The very basic things common to all...

Its not a moral system that is consistent, its the commonalities that run through most moral systems that are common. The traits you are looking for a...

Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

You have already had it explained, the problem is you aren’t getting it. Do you admit you might be confused here? am I wasting my time trying to tell ...

Lol, amazing. I more meant bored in the context of this forum. There is nothing much that interests me currently, and this Tim Wood guy is perfectly r...

Boredom.

That seems like it might be true of some people and some religion. Why try and pigeonhole something so diverse?
June 26, 2019 at 18:09
All you’ve done is once again ignore whats been said. Stop for a fucking second and think about the consequences of points made and the implications o...

My money is on “mostly retarded”, or trolling. If it IS trolling its pretty elaborate. Its much more shameful than some of the threads ive seen shut d...

Good god, the TREE is objective, the idea, image or memory of the tree is subjective. You are an imbecile, belligerently ignorant, aggressively arroga...
June 25, 2019 at 20:00
This actually tells me a great deal about what Im dealing with here. Stunning. How can you possibly know the meaning of the word “conflate” AND not un...

No, not both. Two. Different. Things. You continue to conflate morality and the law. There is nothing morally wrong with taking an illegal drug unless...

Still struggling huh? Using illegal drugs is unlawful, not immoral. Two. Different. Things.
June 17, 2019 at 21:48
Could you give an example? Some debates have been decided already by reason and logic but one side or the other simply doesnt acknowledge they have co...

It doesn’t seem like your paying any attention to what Im saying, so lets at least drop the layer and talk about what you actually want to talk about....

You are comparing the state of slavery (forced challenges/suffering) with being born and living life. Living life is not forced challenges/suffering e...

Oh, you are THAT guy, that keeps trying to backdoor this topic. Even worse that I thought. Master/slave relationship compared to parent/offspring rela...

Thats not true, I think its a valid point he is making. The problem is that the people who bothered to disagree with him didnt have anything interesti...

Aside from the adult language thread, what were the other two threads that were shut down? Were you given a reason for either like you were for the ad...
June 10, 2019 at 21:35
No, not ok. I do know what Im talking about, and I am right. You just aren’t interested in the actual answer to your question about “whats going in he...
June 10, 2019 at 19:42
You aren’t paying attention. That is not the reason your thread was closed. It wasnt the questions, or even the vulgarity. It was the lack of substanc...

Good, its important to laugh and it was intended to be a smirking, cheeky response...but also true. I could have laid it out without the comical conde...

You’ve already been informed why it was closed but have chosen not to accept that explanation bit rather strawman yourself into victimhood. Nobody mis...

Depends on what “cannibalism” is meant to entail. Nothing wrong with eating human meat per say, but if you are murdering humans in order to eat them I...

Can you give an example of a parallel to your A,B,B,A example from this forums recent dubious claims? Lets just speak plainly about your issue.
May 25, 2019 at 01:35
You are assuming eating meat is immoral, I do not see how that is the case. You even assume thats its somehow immoral for a pet animal to eat meat. I ...
May 24, 2019 at 12:20
No wrong idea here. I follow a few of the discussion you’ve been in..these free speech ones are important. Some serious dogma to overcome.
May 24, 2019 at 05:12
You continue to bring sense to these discussions. Lets not forget the bad actors using social media to foment the chaos you speak of above. Russia, Ch...
May 24, 2019 at 03:33
You are correct sir.
May 17, 2019 at 19:17
What does that have to do with anything? I didnt say anything about me, my comments or your interactions with me. I said “people”, as in reference to ...
May 16, 2019 at 21:27
People not making arguments against your point is not the same thing as you not understanding or acknowledging them, which is what you are doing. You ...
May 16, 2019 at 20:34
Your point? Can you possibly think that the little snippet you cherry picked was what I was commenting on? You think that was his point? Im tempted to...
May 14, 2019 at 16:48
Where are you getting “moral” respect from? You just need to respect the law, or need for laws. The purpose is a functioning, healthy society. Morals ...
May 14, 2019 at 08:15
A sign of wisdom. :up:
May 14, 2019 at 02:43
That is a great point. I think it will be very difficult to refute the way you’ve put it there. Well done sir.

I didnt realise you had already layed it out in this thread. Like with Janus, I imagine we agree anyway. Why didnt the people who actually think its i...
May 13, 2019 at 00:46
I cant imagine why, I guess we agree.
May 13, 2019 at 00:44
Ok, so is drug USE immoral?

I do not know, but presumably he was speaking to its fallibility. Thats true, scientific consensus can and has been wrong....then through science corr...
May 12, 2019 at 23:54
Could we use the term “healthy”, or maybe “relatively healthy”. That seems the best descriptor to if I understand you correctly. (I think I do).
May 12, 2019 at 23:46
Right, we are talking about drug use not drug abuse, so you mentioning harm is non-sequitor unless you think all drug use causes harm. Is that what yo...
May 12, 2019 at 23:44
I do not think i agree with “normally functioning” member. The “normal” part especially. Is there something immoral about not being normal?
May 12, 2019 at 23:40
Nobody asked for a short answer, thankfully. Why did you opt to offer one?

Ok, lets do harm to self first. What qualifies significant harm? Does it matter if the person accepts the trade off of harm for whatever benefit they ...
