Reads like a weasely way out of providing evidence that the vast majority of study in biology rejects every notion of race. A hypothetical may be posi...
Guys, my Roman beak of a nose was socially constructed by middle aged, patriarchal white collared white men from New Jersey. It's terrible. I'm gonna ...
Apologies for the late reply, escaped my mind. I can grant this, but I'd be curious to know how you'd define a right, natural or no. Again, what's a r...
Do you want an edit of your paper? :) And I think philosophy papers tend to rely on definition of terms more than other disciplines, so if you fail to...
I agree completely, Tiff. But, there's only so much one can do when moderators aren't really accountable for their behavior. Slaps on the wrists, move...
This means that images in themselves can't be relevant or appropriate to the topic at hand if the content within the image isn't what's judged. If it'...
A right, whether thought to be natural or not, contains moral quality, so I can't see how a right, thus, is without any moral consideration. It'd be d...
I posted this: http://www.eminentlyquotable.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/It-is-the-mark-of-an-educated-mind.jpg I don't know what's wrong with that....
You guys remove images even when they serve as illustration of a point. Fact is, your rules for image use is fickle and has no logical basis that I ca...
Once again you show that you don't care. I'm done interacting with you. I'm not denying that someone can attempt to argue a relativist ethics with reg...
Does Jaffa discuss any economics or is it purely about rights? Surely Douglass would've held a more nuanced position about slavery, couldn't be that s...
You clipped the rest of what I said, which answered your question. But good job showing me how little you actually care about the substance of others'...
That's not quite what I said. My point was that denying the existence of inherent rights in nature - which entails yourself - means denying an inheren...
Why would I want to elaborate? Thorongil's been elaborating and providing substantive exposition on the topic of this thread for 6 pages now, such tha...
I'm laughing from the sidelines, actually. Why join when I agree with Thorongil and will be belittled? Pardon me but I must go, gotta go publish an ar...
But postmodernism adheres to a rejection of natural rights. It's a hallmark of postmodernist thought, regardless of its rejection beforehand. Anyway, ...
Well, when someone denies natural rights, thus denying the inherent right to one's own life, I think people are justified in being bothered by that ki...
>:O Wowzers! You've just qualified the acknowledgement of Thorongil's argument as being contingent upon your own believing it to be true. Lordy, no wo...
Shut up, Dad. Because that's what my poet's heart manifests its interest in when I read philosophy. What, what? Mother Tiff the most real poster on th...
Hi, my name's Buxtebuddha, and I hate the moderators on this forum. Additionally, I'm mostly interested in Christian mysticism and other topics relati...
I don't think you mods understand that posting in threads isn't the same as responding to pm's. Unless you have the ability to read pm's, then you can...
