I feel strangely more authentic and whole than being in the humanities, hummmmm.

Are these always trivialities?
December 05, 2016 at 16:09
No, I have a few people in my life that I share love with, which makes my life worth living. Thanks for your worry, though :D

Anyone, including your nonexistent unborn child.

Would it be oppressive to stop a murderer from killing?

I'm literally going to pop some popcorn here in a minute. Got a box of movie theater popcorn at the store, looks gnarly (Y) Although the sodium may en...

I'm anti-procreation, not anti-birth. There's no opportunity cost for that which does not exist. So, nonexistence cares? huh, how? This "someone" does...
December 05, 2016 at 00:32
You're just talking to me with this response. Anyhoo, a new challenger has approached, so perhaps let me argue with them, then maybe you'll understand...

Where did I say it did? You misunderstood me before. Why? If I point a gun to your head and fire, you could survive but be impaired, or you could die....
December 04, 2016 at 20:34
No, it's just a fact of the matter. Maybe, perhaps, idunnowhynotsure? Really? Well, I am, in this discussion. And you should, too. How is not having a...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hQ-y5dSarU Have you read the signs, Agustino?
December 04, 2016 at 19:48
It is in the nature of opposites to passively avoid their antitheses. Because nonexistence does not exist, nonexistence passively avoids being what it...

Suffering only exists because life does. No life, no suffering. This also means no love, but love also only is because of the world. And no, your dinn...
December 04, 2016 at 19:20
Did you just ask me this? Really? Okay... No, it's not unavoidable. Guess what, Agustino? If you don't have the child, the child won't suffer, thus it...
December 04, 2016 at 19:07
If you don't have a child, then they won't suffer. If you choose to procreate, and the child wonders why it is suffering, are you blameless? Is it mer...
December 04, 2016 at 19:01
Because that's not "fate" then, it's you choosing to gamble.
December 04, 2016 at 18:52
But you would in fact be deciding, because you don't need to have a child.

Our consciousness. http://media.giphy.com/media/yNvlalDnIAATu/giphy.gif I was gonna reply to something else, but I feared I might trigger you.

The only real cure for humanity's affliction is for it to die. Eugenics assumes that you can improve and in time fix the human condition, which is fal...

What was the interest on the second tablet?
December 03, 2016 at 15:09
Like how I'm tall and have a big nose? How does that matter to who I am really? Is being 6'2'' part and parcel of my character as an individual?

I'd take Jesus as my monarch, (Y)
December 01, 2016 at 20:38
I'm hesitant to equate survival of the fittest to survival of the perfect. In reality, survival of the fitter is what goes on in the world. Perhaps it...

I can be liberal, and I can be conservative. Reason does not belong merely to one interpretation.

You better be, I can be rather liberal at times... http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/colbert.gif

:-} Learn to write shorter rants. You're a character, Agustino. After I realized you're not trolling, now you're just befuddling. I have no idea how y...

Your sentiments on mental health are revolting to me, so I'm not going to tickle your fancy and indulge in fruitless conversation. http://i.imgur.com/...

Y'know, Agustino, you are the precise sort of person that keeps me from throwing my computer out the window and going to a monastery, because I fear i...

We will take care of the mentally ill, by distrusting psychologists and psychiatrists, therapists and doctors - makes perfect sense to me! Weeee!

This is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Boredom is just another way of identifying depression.

This discussion is bottom of the rung.
November 26, 2016 at 18:43
I meant to paraphrase. Plus, mine's more alliterated, anyway 8-)
November 23, 2016 at 01:42
Remember that Paul went west, literally, and preached to the Roman provincials in Turkey and Greece, and not so much the Jews. The Romans of largely e...

Because resistance is futile. Submit to assimilation.

Man, you go from 0 to 100 with the religious lingo, I tell ya. I also never said Christianity is against Jewish values. I actually said the opposite, ...

If sex were okay then monks wouldn't fear it like the plague. Paul wasn't a dummy, he realized that most people are sexually obsessed lunatics, so he ...

I'm being silly and serious, HA!
November 22, 2016 at 19:35
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, :’( Tell me, Agustino, why is sexual chastity a virtue in Christianity? You seem to be, as there's no reason for you ...
November 22, 2016 at 19:24
Inked words on a page are only meaningful when we understand what they mean. Sex may be the same way, but you've yet to explain your way out of intent...
November 22, 2016 at 19:13
Want does not follow need. Perhaps you don't need to be in a relationship, that is true. But one does still require love, which does not depend on sex...
November 22, 2016 at 18:52
Yep. If you don't need to have sex, there is, therefore, no reason for you to have it. Then explain what you mean by "natural desire." Sex is an ugly ...
November 22, 2016 at 17:32
You don't want after God. You need him. Great, so we agree that you don't need to have sex! Why is it morally necessary to satisfy our sexual instinct...
November 22, 2016 at 17:20
The vast majority of people have sex because of their lust, are you kidding? Uh, no. Your couple's already failed in their intentions if they're fumbl...
November 22, 2016 at 17:02
Sex ought only to be a means toward alleviating sexual appetite. If a couple's intent is to diminish their lust through the means of sex, then so be i...

If you've just admitted that one act of indifference is neutral and not "evil", then indifference cannot only be "evil" if it can also be neutral - or...

This sounds a little sentimental, no? Attachments in themselves aren't moral or immoral, so I'm not seeing how they can be justification for a moral h...
