I think I understand what you are saying, I just do not think you are recognizing that your basis and the basis of every moral system starts with an a...
I suppose it depends on what you define as emotion based, but any number of ethical systems that operate from a rational or logical basis are just as ...
No, rather I would argue that harm and well being are their own ends and not the basis of morality at all. Part of your argument is that if the term m...
This is the subjective bit people are taking issue with. This forms the basis of your standard, but it itself is based in subjective/feelings. I don’t...
The part you quoted was sloppily put by me, I meant “you” in the general sense not “you” as in Christoffer. Not sure you bothered reading the rest sin...
I think what people are getting at is that you decide the basis for morality, for you its suffering/harm, for emotional reasons and not objective ones...
No. You are wrong and im explaining why. This is a familiar display of cowardess from you. I had forgotten you were the guy who resorts to disingenuou...
Im sorry sir, but you are. The use of “consent” is being misapplied in direct service to you making the argument that taking on risk includes consent....
You are missing the point, this is actually a non-response to the point raised against your position. The point is that doing something that has a non...
Children do not get punished because they are innocent, you would be punishing a kid for being guilty of something just like you would a criminal. Lik...
What makes you think they dont want to expand their empire? I think they are just playing a different game than Russia. Russia wants the Soviet Union ...
Dont forget about China. I think they are a bigger threat than Russia. They are much sneakier and engage in even more information operations, and have...
The hysterics of the right and left, the buzzword culture on the right and left, the blatent agenda over truth of the right/left and the mindless demo...
I dont think that follows. Human life can have value that isnt intrinsic. You can value human life for traits that are present in a newborn but not a ...
I said not all animals, specifically to address this sort of reference. My point being, I do not think it is a matter of only degrees. It is also some...
Most animals aren’t capable of reasoning, they are not equipped for it at all. Its not unique to humans but its not correct to say reason is a continu...
Why was any of that addressed to me? It has nothing to do with anything I said. Again. This is just you rambling now, using “responses” to other poste...
They can fail to reason, or both parties could have equally valid arguments. I do not think it avoids the problem at all really, since its still going...
Disagree completely, I think you have it backwards on a few fronts and you still havent addressed what ive said, you’ve just referenced some other pos...
Ok, I understand all that, it doesnt address the failure of the process that necessitates the exclusion of exactly the kinds of things people call hat...
I think you are missing the point, the fact is that regardless of who is actually right, people will disagree even after going through your proposed t...
Im not convinced as of yet that Athena is lacking in substance and logic, the succinctness I agree on though. She said she gets excited, and she seems...
Im not saying you dont make sense, im saying that the terms you are using dont have any meaning. They are just placeholders for a concept you cant def...
Im not sure how to respond to any of that. Im glad that my questions amuse you, but you didnt really address anything I said. You arent really offerin...
I would say that is a description “b)”, no meaningful definition of god. You have taken some ideas you had and called it god. Why? Couldnt you avoid a...
I understand what you meant by subjective. I asked because you seemed to be making a distinction between some morals and the morals being discussed ”....
That is not the discussion I was referencing, but rather it was the discussion about the difference between a baby and a cyst. If there is a discussio...
Obviously some people do not define blastocyst to include the “baby”. Why is it necessarily immoral? Isnt there at least a process or scenario where a...
I disagree, I think that any such concept is a) deism which is still theism b) isnt a meaningful definition of god or c) has no meaningful distinction...
Why? If one accepts the premiss that the baby has any rights, arent we then having a discussion about competing rights? Whether they are acting immora...
Well not if I tell you about it and you show up Just stop engaging with people who you think arent worth engaging with. If that's everyone, then how c...
A self inflicted wound. Ive noticed and mentioned you seem to have alot of patience for the moronic and observe you wasting time engaging that way but...
Fair enough, just curious. Im fairly new and like to get a feel for the culture of a forum. Experience has taught me that its a big factor in how many...
I see you have beenna member for 3 years...slow learner or has there been a shift from depth to no depth at some point and if so, what do you think it...
The denial of potential life is not a valid argument against abortion. The denial of life would happen at every opportunity at procreation, which make...
Yes, everything. Excluding nothing. At least, thats what I would think “unlimited” is intended to mean. The initial poster seems to have tuned out of ...
I took “unlimited tolerance” to include tolerance of violence etc, some kind of extreme tolerance. Not the way I would think of it, and not convention...
