How?

I'm butting into this conversation. I meant to contest your saying that society is a money-construct, and that, in fact, money is a construct of socie...

It would be the other way around, at least in the earliest Fertile Crescent communities.

You've grown up. Now you're comparing your dick with others on an internet forum. And I still fail to see what your "point" is, apart from what I've q...

In my schooling I would often get half credit on math questions that I'd answer almost correctly, getting more right than other kids. So, no, my answe...

I don't think the falsehood of a certain claim corresponds with its moral worth. For example, it's untrue that today is December 15th, 1746, but is th...

Most of the bickering here, I think, stems from left-leaning hard atheists who don't want to give one religion higher credence over another, which res...

That's maybe the worst motivational video ever.

What do I look like? Hopefully I have a club and live under a bridge.

To play devil's advocate here, do you think that merely eliminating symptoms of depression, say by the taking of medicine, also eliminates depression ...

This is extreme. One can be a hard worker without also being a walking zombie.
May 26, 2017 at 21:20
Sounds like a bachelors degree here in the States, which is not anything to write home about, really. Alright, okay. Bitch, fucking puleaze. Get off y...

Arrogance. You just need to work harder.
May 26, 2017 at 20:12
How long of a degree? I don't see how this applies to what I said? Yes, you are! You've spent quite a lot of time bashing education and blaming it for...

If you think taking classes in a school room is going to teach you how to make a bridge perfectly in real life, I dunno what to tell you. So, your ran...

People's actions don't cause the suffering in their lives? Wot?

Just unbutton that plaid shirt, bb.

Would you see a doctor without them having previously gone through all the necessary educational and professional hoops that warrant them being awarde...
May 23, 2017 at 23:12
That's the whole point of getting a degree................... Pretty clear you've not been knee deep in the American educational system your whole lif...

What? How? I'm not judging whether those jobs are good or bad in themselves, all I'm saying is that I should not "start" at those sorts of jobs after ...
May 23, 2017 at 15:42
Though, tho? ;)
May 23, 2017 at 00:01
Depression as a mood is different from one who is suffering from a mental illness like major depression. If I graduate college with a degree that can'...

There are more things in heaven and earth, jkop, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
May 21, 2017 at 18:14
I was merely stating my opinion. As I say later in the post you quote, I'd never really try and argue that opinion, as it's more speculative. I could,...
May 20, 2017 at 15:52
Why not all together? Excluding religious critique is equally vacuous in my estimation, as such would imply that Muslim doctrine plays no part in soci...

Find me some graph that shows a similar color scheme for Christian majority countries.
May 20, 2017 at 02:40
Underdeveloped African countries and Turkey? John, c'mon.

Insects outside the house - okay. Inside my house? I'm sorry, but you're fucking dead. I don't stick my hands in your beehive, so you stay out of my c...

If Islam as a whole has never had a substantive stance on state power, or governance in general, then I wonder why it, as a religious and new cultural...

Se7en and Shutter Island. Both tackle ethics in a number of ways, and play on notions of perception in their own ways.
May 16, 2017 at 22:04
My understanding of joy is that it's one of many default states we can find ourselves in. That, when nothing is happening, one is content, or comforta...

Yes, hopefully not go to hell, >:)
May 16, 2017 at 14:51
Okay, true, in the specific context of psychiatry. Felt like we were getting off base, though, and discussing how to treat mental illness overall O:)
May 16, 2017 at 04:08
Well, it's not always that simple. For some a drug to rebalance the brain is all one needs. For others, like me, it's just one factor that goes into k...

Can you clarify what you mean, here?
May 15, 2017 at 23:12
If one would go to church, appreciate much of a sermon, the Church, its writings and traditions, and believes in God - we'd call them religious. But i...

Depending on the issue, I'm usually either hard right or hard left, which combined makes me centrist, I suppose.
May 15, 2017 at 20:24
For what it's worth, I label myself as being Christian, but not a Christian. I don't believe in the Christian God, but I do still identify with much o...

If Hanover doesn't moderate posts, why is he a moderator??? I smell cronyism >:o
May 15, 2017 at 18:30
I'm not worrying, just curious. Unsurprised that you ignored my question, >:O
May 15, 2017 at 18:24
Why do we even have so many moderators in the first place? Apart from the two administrators, I see zero point in the other six moderators having thei...
