I dunno, I was just shrugging. Perhaps if I was a sex-crazed maniac I'd be shrugging my peepee?
June 29, 2017 at 20:52
I'd rather be labeled a prude than a sex-crazed maniac *shrug*.
June 29, 2017 at 20:49
I'm familiar with some of these classical definitions, but... "examples of natural and necessary desires include the desires for food, shelter, and th...

I remember you saying that you have a big nose, as I do. I bet my big nose is far more beautious.
June 27, 2017 at 19:04
Should I be critiquing Sapientia, TimeLine, Baden, or Mongrel? Oh, you mean McTrumpus? Hmm, tough call :P
June 27, 2017 at 19:03
I think it has more to do with who it is. Neither of Williams sisters are upstanding human beings, really they're quite nasty. I mean, depictions of p...

Looks ugly to me, does that make me sexist and/or racist?
June 27, 2017 at 18:50
If women weren't vastly inferior to their male counterparts in almost every sport, we wouldn't have gendered sporting events in the first place. That ...

Natural, adjective 1. existing in or caused by nature; not made or caused by humankind. "carrots contain a natural antiseptic that fights bacteria" 2....

That's why there's a timer button on ovens so you get beeped.
June 27, 2017 at 01:02
You seem very focused on bull shit in this response, so I call bullshit again. You'll have to explain to me how a desire in nature doesn't have to be ...
June 26, 2017 at 22:58
You read my post that you quoted about as wrongly and uncharitably as possible. None of what you say here goes against my position.
June 26, 2017 at 20:02
Because one's desires need not be fulfilled. Merely because one has a desire does not mean that they must carry out that desire, otherwise hellfire an...
June 26, 2017 at 16:15
Yes. I'd say that I'm not anti-sex in many cases, am not anti-birth because I think that once a life is in the world we have a responsibility to love ...
June 24, 2017 at 22:36
Your judgement not to procreate? The baseline is doing nothing, not having the child. You love the person, not the sex. Sex is sex, regardless of what...
June 24, 2017 at 22:32
But I'm saying that you need better reasoning than just, "you may not x, y, z." The discussion I'm having with Agustino I think entails absolutes. As ...
June 24, 2017 at 21:22
No. Then you have no good reason to have a child. So, why are you in favor of having children if there's no good reason or necessity that demands thei...
June 24, 2017 at 21:15
Would you agree that a lot of women, perhaps most, have more of a problem with keeping their mouths closed as opposed to keeping their legs together? ...
June 24, 2017 at 16:59
The unborn child, ;)
June 24, 2017 at 15:10
If an argument can't hold for the 100%, it shouldn't be held. With regard to principles, they must be black and white. If there are exceptions, then t...
June 24, 2017 at 14:56
But if you have faith that having a child is the right thing to do, then you're assuming that this child once born will agree with you. So play God? Y...
June 24, 2017 at 14:54
I did that in my first reply to you, to which you replied with, "sigh." :/ No, are you? Lots of telling, but no showing. Back up these claims of yours...
June 24, 2017 at 14:38
I'm glad that you realized you have nothing to say here, >:O (Y)
June 24, 2017 at 03:13
Where did I do any of that in my first reply to TimeLine? I asked for clarification, additional argument, and all I got was a "sigh." That "sigh" tell...
June 24, 2017 at 03:04
I think it's reasonable for me to be bothered by your refusal to explain your claims with more depth. Yes, please present your argument for why domina...
June 24, 2017 at 02:54
Not quite. It doesn't necessarily mean the undefended position is false. And if my statement is, "you're an idiot, which is true", you can do nothing ...
June 24, 2017 at 02:45
That is one unsubstantiated point among many, none of which you responded to because I don't think you know how. As I mentioned to T Clark, if you're ...
June 24, 2017 at 01:52
I think proper debate and discussion always entails a good measure of crankiness, otherwise there's no passion or fervor.
June 24, 2017 at 01:50
I think you will find that people like TimeLine do not find it at all fun having others disagree with them. For some it's easier to always think insid...
June 23, 2017 at 21:59
One moment, let me get my pen and paper and tally up how many moral people each religion has produced...is that what you're asking? Cause I can't do t...
June 23, 2017 at 18:43
Why? Gender is completely irrelevant? What's your justification for this? ????????? So, the dominating psychopathic manipulator consciously chose to b...
June 23, 2017 at 18:30
You haven't read through this thread then. There have been a couple of females who seem to concur with Thinker's opinion.
June 23, 2017 at 18:20
You do a lot of that. I'm not the only poster who could tell you that. More moral people? Perhaps. A lot of Buddhist asceticism enables the good, just...
June 23, 2017 at 18:17
I remember you just talking in that post. What exactly do you want me to respond to?
June 23, 2017 at 17:54
Must I become a Christian in order for me to judge self-professed Christians' actions? Surely a "Christian" who fails to act morally is living a worse...
June 23, 2017 at 16:25
This one: ~ So, faith upon faith upon faith. If none of these faiths are worth having, or if to ask such a question is peculiar, then indeed why have ...
June 23, 2017 at 15:21
But you do claim to know that your faith is worth having. Why? Why else would that be the case were you not also assured in the knowledge that life is...
June 23, 2017 at 14:44
LOL. Ah, so you're banking on your child thinking like you, agreeing with you that life is worth living. Thanks for rubbishing your faux neutrality in...
June 23, 2017 at 14:39
But you definitely don't have a child thinking that life is worth living, >:O
June 23, 2017 at 14:34
:o That's what happens when you give serfs a better class.
June 23, 2017 at 04:34
I would include all life, but I think he's specifically referring to human life, seeing as this discussion is between humans and not hippos, and we're...
June 22, 2017 at 20:48
Clark's question is different from, "is life worth living or continuing?".
June 22, 2017 at 20:44
Because I'm a life suffering on earth.
June 22, 2017 at 20:29
Fuck no.
June 22, 2017 at 19:51
Is the other partner in a relationship automatically dominated if the other is more intelligent?
June 22, 2017 at 03:00
Apologies if you've already answered this, but how do you define male capability and what makes a guy capable in your eyes? In my own opinion I think ...
June 22, 2017 at 02:53
Preach, brother! (Y) (Y) (Y)
