Indeed. But I'm still waiting for Monfort to clarify on both accounts.

Why is there no possibility? You've yet to show that. I'm not sure what you mean here. You're being vague. You've been ruling out indifference as bein...

Perhaps, haha. Economics can be a dreadful business, so I can't blame anyone for not going balls deep into it in order to have a more informed opinion...
November 20, 2016 at 16:32
You should have prolly written it out instead of using an acronym, :D
November 20, 2016 at 16:23
Indifference can't be evil or immoral in itself by this logic. Nope. He still chooses whether to do or not to do what he is told. You're ignoring this...
November 20, 2016 at 15:12
:-| It can bring about evil, however. Truly chooses? And choices are made for him? What, how? Okay, so this fictional person we're talking about is be...

When're you going to move more toward rightly responding to my qualms with you in the Shoutbox, ay?

Not every middle class job economy can grow net income at a constant or consistent rate. It used to be that the middle class had very little income di...

It's a little too far reaching in my opinion to blame only a few people and their respective governments for certain failings in the modern capitalist...

So purgatory is worse than hell? You're trying to glean something positive from an evil, which is strange to me. Wait, wait, wait. We're talking about...

Tell me again in which work Kierkegaard says that. And if he does think amorality is somehow worse than immorality, then both he and you are wrong.

"At least Trump fucking sins, and does it properly" .... What is wrong with you, Agustino? Do you even know?
November 19, 2016 at 14:22
But see, you're equally an idiot for voting Clinton. I never said there was a good path to lead. And hey, didn't you vote Comey?
November 19, 2016 at 13:33
It's too bad that Trump is an other, who holds great power, and the voters who placed him in power are short-selling, foolish little peasants.
November 19, 2016 at 13:23
Oh, so you're "doing" philosophy and not me, eh? Given your appeal to science here earlier, and the quote from Marx on your bio, I'm actually more inc...

A conscious being. I don't know what this has to do with anything, but no. No, I already told you. I do not fear death. Not fearing death does not mea...
November 19, 2016 at 03:55
Whelp, you've already failed at being rational, here. Whoops. I don't fear death. Haha, yes, haha. I'm arguing that. Fear is a concept of and from the...
November 19, 2016 at 03:32
Yes you did - "It seems after some many years of analysis of this question that all I can rationally say is that I live only because I am afraid to di...

That's what you don't think. What you do think is..."It seems after some many years of analysis of this question that all I can rationally say is that...
November 19, 2016 at 03:15
The only thing you say explicitly is that you live because you're afraid to die. Why is that? If you can't answer, then this excuse is as "irrational"...
November 19, 2016 at 03:09
Your OP says nothing about much of anything, >:O "I'm afraid." Gee, that's great, man. Okay, what now? Who cares?
November 19, 2016 at 03:03
I live for love.
November 18, 2016 at 13:31
This is true. Although I'd argue simple geography plays a big part as well. With respect to African migrants, African countries don't much want them -...

How'd you like A Brave New World? :)

It seems Wisdom lives a rather ordinary life, ay? O:)

So lacking in intelligence that he knew he'd die for being disagreed with. Interesting how you see him dumb and not wise, here. I agree they're not sy...

Bannon is a school yard bully compared to what damage Myron Ebell could do to our country, and our planet.
November 16, 2016 at 21:48

So, there's only one meaning to be gleamed from the monologue? Just one? Isn't this another meaning, though? :’( I would argue that compassion rests o...

Take a gander at how Israel treats refugees and migrants, especially from African countries. It's a complete breakdown of Israel's supposedly "democra...

Well, I'm not. So I guess we both can see what Thorongil Lute Lover has to say here, X-)
November 16, 2016 at 01:26
Awh, can I introduce myself too? O:)
November 16, 2016 at 01:17
Israel has always adopted an aggressive self-defense identity which, considering their place in the region, makes perfect sense. Yet at the same time,...
November 16, 2016 at 01:00
That's all? Hmm. No, sorry. And what is it that you are doing here? I'll remind you that you are the beer drinker, so methinks it more likely that you...
November 15, 2016 at 21:05
Israel's domestic and foreign policies are absurd. And I'm opposed to Israel's attitude just as much as I am with the US, Russia, Germany, etc. I also...

Ho there, why the beer rage, friend? Sit your tits down and chill out. Mhmm. Yep. He said this, you're correct! Indeed, perhaps the most powerful sent...

Compassionate intentions undergird Jesus's Golden Rule, so if one doesn't acknowledge such a fact, then the Rule becomes a bit flimsy. With it, I can'...

If he's anti-Israel, I'm all for him. But if he's anti-semitic in the conspiracy theory sort of way, then no. Although I only skimmed that article lin...

And most scientists disbelieve in human's aiding of climate change. Am I doing this right..?
November 15, 2016 at 03:24
Yes, yes, my mistake. The Chinese simply came with their silk, gave it all away, then left again. (Y)

It's more than a guess, it's fact, :D

Stop bragging! >:o >:o >:o There's a fine line between "you're misrepresenting my argument" and "I'm wrong but I don't want to admit it."

Well, I laugh because yes, water will boil if you increase the temperature of the water. Water doesn't just stop boiling if you go from 100 to 101. An...
November 14, 2016 at 01:26
You mean can it boil at temperatures higher than 100? >:O

Guys, what're you even debating about now?
