And to what, pray tell, are you referring?

If @"Baden" said that about me, then he can eat a dick.

I am often struck by themes in American movies that suggest values that are taken for granted: “Hard work is moral”, “Success is monetary in nature”, ...

“1”, “+”, “=“, and “2” have specific meanings by convention. So, “1+1=2” is a tautology. It has to be true given the meanings of the terms used. There...

Later, shitting vagina.

Me: (yawn) S: (queef)

You’re running out of interesting things to say it seems. So, you might want to put your thinking cap on. Or do you put that on your vagina?

That’s almost right. Your talking vagina family is the exception. I guess you were created in His image.

And what did your mom’s vagina say when you came out of it? “Damn. Too late for an abortion.”

My mother wasn’t a Te Stroete, moron.

Where we evolved into men with balls, not into talking vaginas.

Me: Hey, what’s your name? S: Sissy Me: Fuck you, Sissy.

“S” stands for little “sissy”.

So I can kick them into your throat.

I pray you grow a pair.

I would respond to that, but I don’t respond to people who talk out of their vaginas.

About @"S": You can lead a horse to the trough, but it’s illegal to hold its head down and drown it. :P

Certainly, many rituals are stupid and asinine. However, some may serve the purpose of putting the mind in a state that is conducive to spiritual expe...

Because no one gives a fuck what philosophers think.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m speaking as someone who has experienced your kind of suffering. A general depression and malaise that dominates every waking m...

I’m assuming you either live in the US or some other western country? You seem to suffer more than is normal for someone living in such a privileged p...

People aren’t used by society. Society is used by people so there is less suffering and more convenience. Are you getting help for your clinical depre...

I hope the robot that is going to wipe my ass has a gentle touch.

Who’s going to take care of us when we’re 90 if people stop procreating? Bet you didn’t think of that.

I’m not sure you actually believe all this socialist stuff. I’m not sure you’re not a man in a black suit with a crew cut fishing for leftist extremis...

I agree. “Sociopath” fits. :P

I agree with @"YnY". What is God first of all? People can disagree on this just as easily as whether God exists.

I could be mistaken here, but I don’t think the Stoic is supposed to go out of her way to find stressful situations. Aren’t the mental exercises suppo...

I commend you for your honesty. I think you’re cool.

Do you even know what you’re talking about?

I suggest taking some Nugenix and start lifting weights. You’ll feel a lot better, and you won’t be so easily bothered by such things.

It seems you rubbed him the wrong way in the past.

You’re welcome to CCAP me. I live in Wisconsin.

LOL Rest assured I am not a violent criminal. I just have religious guilt due to my upbringing.

I agree. It’s the ones with chips on their shoulders that are best ignored.

That’s alright. I understand and forgive him. I was very angry and despised theists when I was an atheist, too. It’s a very dark and proud place to be...

Thank you both for the kind words and encouragement. God bless you both.

I agree with what @"Bitter Crank" said in his last two posts. I couldn’t have said it better.

There’s a difference between finding value in a philosophy and being a paragon of that philosophy. I think there is value to Stoicism as there is valu...

I disagree to lengths that are too cumbersome to put into words. :P

Marcus was an emperor of Rome. He had to deal with the duties of his court which meant that he had to deal with these kinds of people on a daily basis...

To me, Ayn Randian philosophy mirrors Nazi philosophy. I think Randians should be banned, too. But, I’m biased, having worked at Senator Ron Johnson’s...

Anaximander? Anaximenes? Anaxagoras? All three had cosmogony theories. Also, of course, there was Aristotle.

I don’t think Stoicism is the problem for you. It is good that you recognize that there are toxic people. Perhaps you would do well to avoid them. Not...

Well, it is not just a matter of willing, but rather logically willing it to be universal law where doing the opposite would result in the breakdown o...

Personally, I believe there are at least some oughts. Just because we don’t always perform them is besides the point.

I guess I would argue that you cannot will that all abortion should be outlawed because there are cases where it should be permissible: the health of ...

Ethics is all about ought. If you can will that everyone ought to lie to the murderer at the door to save an innocent person, then it is a moral truth...

The categorical imperative comes from the power of reason. Why are you bringing the Bible up with me? It’s a Kantian argument, not a religious one.
