Let me remind you of an exchange we had not too long ago. Why don't you try a little harder yourself? Ah, I called it: No point in continuing this con...

It's hard to interpret this as anything other than a deliberate misrepresentation of my views.
May 07, 2023 at 09:55
No. It's simply that (hyper)sexuality has no place in a children's classroom. Somewhat. I'd say sexualized rockstars are inappropriate for children to...
May 07, 2023 at 09:44
I'm unsure what that sentence means, but obviously the man dressed as a female prostitute is inappropriate for children.
May 07, 2023 at 09:28
If not having children amounts to 'avoiding responsibility' that implies we have a responsibility to procreate - I would disagree with that. I also di...
May 07, 2023 at 09:25
Sure. I see nothing wrong with that.
May 07, 2023 at 09:04
True. The problem is that we dont know, which is a serious issue if one believes child-having to be an imposition. Not only are we putting someone in ...

I'd say conception is the point, and I've already pointed out why I disagree with your objection.. At the point of conception there is no human being ...

My sense is that only a small portion of the transgender movement consists of people who will genuinely benefit from adopting the label. A larger port...
May 07, 2023 at 02:34
I can't think of a situation where it is a valid statement, but maybe you can change my mind. If I had to define moral behavior on the fly, its defini...

The list - obviously- wouldn't include hypersexualized characters like 's hunky fireman.
May 06, 2023 at 15:40
Fair enough. I don't think most people will be able to make that distinction and consider them at the very least closely related. Do you think letting...
May 06, 2023 at 15:31
I've no problem with transgenders, but just out of curiousity, do you think this is normal? Because I think that's the part that people interpret as t...
May 06, 2023 at 15:25
... Obviously I was referring to Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh and his nearly day-by-day account of the Nord Stream bombing, directl...
May 06, 2023 at 13:54
Excuse me? That's quite simply untrue. I support everything I say here with tangible arguments, and most of what is discussed is directly related to m...
May 06, 2023 at 13:24
The US blatantly stated it was going to end Nord Stream. It has been trying to change European energy dependency since the Bush administration. We hav...
May 06, 2023 at 12:30
That's the narrative. The actual thing that happened (from what I'm able to tell) is he correlated AIS data with intercepted emissions. That's both un...
May 05, 2023 at 12:01
There's no such thing, except maybe acoustic signatures, which weren't mentioned (and civilians don't have access to). They mention a handful of visua...
May 05, 2023 at 10:02
All we see are blips on a map and the vaguest of satellite imagery. Military ships aren't required to use AIS. The US navy sails around without AIS 24...
May 05, 2023 at 06:37
I've already watched it, and no actual evidence is presented. I'm talking about Nord Stream, in case that wasn't clear. That the Russians are floating...
May 04, 2023 at 19:16
This is a picture of a seperate event. The Russians have been conducting surveillance with civilian ships since time immemorial, so I'm not sure what ...
May 04, 2023 at 17:39
Alrighty, then. :up:
May 04, 2023 at 17:12
This is a bit cute, considering there's no evidence whatsoever presented in any of these reports.
May 04, 2023 at 16:43
To reiterate, the US story about a Ukrainian 'group' was full-blown panic in reaction to Hersh's story. There's no way they would have made such a mov...
May 04, 2023 at 16:00
And you really think that if they had footage supposedly depicting Russian ships conducting the sabotage, that the US would be so eagerly throwing its...
May 04, 2023 at 15:59
Half a year on they suddenly find a box of photographs of the Russians caught in the act? Color me skeptical. Besides, it couldn't have been the Russi...
May 04, 2023 at 15:21
Robert Kennedy is a democrat, or is this just a random rant about the republican party?
May 04, 2023 at 11:55
Crickets? Really??
May 04, 2023 at 08:13
I'm not sure if I'd use the word 'appreciate', but this is what I've come to expect - people losing their shit over some simple questions, probably be...
May 04, 2023 at 08:05
How does that not logically follow? An imposition happens when we knowingly bring about a set of circumstances that affect another human being without...
May 03, 2023 at 17:48
Do my eyes deceive me, or may the American people get a chance to vote for an actual person rather than condemning the world to another 4 years of (p/...
May 03, 2023 at 15:02
I don't see why such a comparison would be relevant to the nature of science. I think it simply requires the models to be accurate enough. That standa...
May 03, 2023 at 13:54
Certainly! My point was more that people are turning science into something else - something that resembles a new kind of religion. And that kind of t...
May 03, 2023 at 12:45
All our behavior is aimed at a future state, which in essence is no more than a thought.
May 03, 2023 at 09:28
Those two aren't mutually exclusive. It can be both a burden on the parent and a burden on the child. It further begs the question why the parent choo...
May 03, 2023 at 07:51
It's fine that you think that way, but this is obviously what is up for debate, so simply saying it is reasonable isn't really partaking in the discus...
May 03, 2023 at 05:31
I don't think reason plays much of a role. The idea that child-having is good simply goes unchallenged, and is affirmed by a biological desire to proc...
May 02, 2023 at 17:10
I think people saying as much are fooling themselves. Likely their motivations are a lot more selfish, and what they're putting forward is an attempt ...
May 02, 2023 at 15:30
I don't believe people genuinely think it is their duty to make other people (their children) struggle. It sounds more like the mental gymnastics that...
May 02, 2023 at 14:58
It's pretty clear that the answer is no. Sammy can't simply impose a burden on Johnny just because Sammy "felt like it," or even because they thought ...
May 02, 2023 at 12:59
Have you ever seen an evildoer who seemed genuinely happy? They all seem miserable to me in one way or another, or at the very best parked in some for...
May 02, 2023 at 06:45
When one's needs aren't met, it creates suffering and pain. A failure to acknowledge this will inevitably cause the pain to be suppressed, so as to av...
May 01, 2023 at 11:31
My view is that man's nature is inherently good, and evil behavior is the result of unmet needs coupled with ignorance of the self.
May 01, 2023 at 07:30
It could be part of a deception campaign. Military deception is a big part of Soviet doctrine, which is what the Ukrainian army mostly runs on. I'm su...
April 30, 2023 at 05:26
Considering the fact that scientists are attempting to look 13,800,000,000 years into the past, I'd say they're functionally the same. My guess is the...
April 29, 2023 at 20:21
As I said in my post: This is of course referring to the rumored 'spring offensive'. How the war develops further in the future we cannot know. Some t...
April 29, 2023 at 20:13
Koffman has been one of the figures creating the 'rumors' I mentioned in my post, so his positions are basically what is up for debate. As of yet, no ...
April 29, 2023 at 19:46
It won't replace religion. It will become a religion. In many ways it already is. For example, a belief in the big bang isn't much more rational than ...
April 29, 2023 at 18:17
Do you have any links to the piece you're referring to?
April 29, 2023 at 17:54
Any thoughts on the rumored Ukrainian offensive? It seems "rumors" of a Ukrainian offensive seem to pop up every once in a while, but is there any sub...
