Funny you should bring that up. In a court of law it has been shown over and over and over that eye witness accounts are very unreliable. Laughably un...

I think its been covered ya. We could talk about the morality of doing drugs, since thats what this is actually about for Tim and other anyway...

Correct, I do not hold that there is overlap. They are separate, with different basis and priority.

Its not missing, I didnt include it because I do not acknowledge it. Its just the convoluted way you are thinking about it. You are making it more com...

Not sure what you are getting at here. The distinction and its consequences seem obvious to me. A law abiding person follows the law. A moral person, ...

Nothing happens to the Law, its integrity is still intact. The person who does something illegal still has to deal with the consequences of breaking t...

Yes, I believe that is the case. It seems to me that you are projecting here. At the very least, you are no more open to your view being wrong than th...

You are saying that they have come to the conclusion that your “rebirth” idea is nonsense because of their own bias or lack of consideration. If they ...

Not everybody who disagrees with you is attached to that attitude, me for example. I do not feel threatened or find it offensive to some sensibility I...

Lol, ok.

Im not really sure where you are coming from here. I do not recall the war being at all the focus of what he was about. Why would his teachings to the...

So...how is your comparison with WW2 valid? Anyway, sounds like Socrates had a point, rather than just being an asshole. Also, his execution was on ac...

Were they mortal enemies with Sparta because the Spartans were like Hitler? Were the Athenians being lied to?

In what way?

A democracy isnt just about the right to vote. The people have a responsibility to be informed, thats part of it. The state of democracy is the west i...

Good point, not to mention that the number people hearing voices greatly surpasses the numbers of this research. That should be a red flag right there...

Holy shit, you are not making a major argument against ANY position! You are baffled, and should pay attention to what you are being told so you can l...

Well said mr Drake.

You must not be paying close attention. We are in agreement.

State interference in our lives is something I believe should be minimised, especially in the arena of peoples personal beliefs about things. The stat...

Well you say you agree, but then immediately followed up by supporting state interference. Im no fan of organised religion, Im an anti-theist, but it ...

I agree, in fact the only way to protect religious or non- religious belief is to ensure that no such belief is ever backed by the state.

Yes, i think you are right.

Im not going to answer your question, as it doesnt address anything Im saying. Its just you reasserting what you have already claimed. This is merri-g...

If the law and morality are distinct, then its only immoral to break a law that is moral. Thus when you ask if it is immoral to do illegal drugs what ...

Morality and Law are not the same thing. This should be obvious given the huge historical examples where a law was very clearly not moral. Another thi...

Your not really making sense. Its not immoral to break a law that isnt moral and in fact morality sometimes demands you break the law.

Why are they worth breaking, if not for moral reasons? When people broke slavery laws, they were doing it for moral reasons, as with Schindler. Why do...

My comment was about moral thought experiments, not morality in general. Self righteous morons do not understand a moral thought experiment, their emo...

No need for this topic. Only self righteous morons dont get it, the rest of us understand

Wait, hold on a second here. Ive been following this thread and what you are saying makes zero sense at all, you’ve made some kind of nightmare turn i...

Nah, you just can’t waste time with dummies and ideologues who can’t listen.

Your gonna play the victim now? You choose how to interact with people, to be unapologetic about your ways which is fine but own it at least. Being of...

You know what S? Why dont you go punch some more babies you baby punching serial killer. We don’t need logic and reason around these parts! Why don’t ...

Ok, I think you are right. “Source” was (at least) the source of confusion. It seems obvious how I meant that in context, but I didn't think of your d...

It isnt really relevant, the chemicals on the end of a matchstick, the chemical process, whatever details you want to include. Doesnt matter, I just m...

I cant say that makes much sense to me. I know you do not like breaking down posts line by line, me neither though it seems it would be appropriate he...

Why does a cause have to be identical to what it causes? This makes no sense me, what is the utility of thinking about it that way? When I light a mat...

Fuck. No. Id have given up a while back.

Am I the only one who noticed his list of two things had 3 things on it? I think 3 was a good addition though. Perhaps a necessary one lol

Still unclear how you mean this. A non-mental phenomenon can directly cause mental phenomenon, creating sensory data for example. In the same way an o...

How are you using “concepts” here? Can you not be introduced to concepts with a society as the vector?

You presented it as an argument. You used an invalid premiss. This has been pointed out. Anyway, my parting comment: you have narrowed it down to eith...

No, you don’t guess and draw conclusions based on those guesses. You look for more data. If there is none, then you draw no conclusions. You are commi...

Its possible you arent articulating well, but it might also be the case that you are the one thats wrong here...couldnt it?

He is not. His statement is vitally important and on point. Ignore his insulting tone and recognise the substance in what he is saying. You really don...

Well, some overlap here as we are all replying swiftly. You can sort it out with him, I recommend you try and stay open minded as he is telling you ex...

Ok, so you will commit to your own in-articulation? Thats why people are disagreeing with you? I couldn't help but notice that Christoffer gave you pr...

Ok, so you will not commit to that. Will you commit to admitting that you do not know why they disagree with you?

I already told you. Im not interested in that right now. Im trying to find out why you think everyone disagrees with you, and rejects what you are say...
