Sentiments such as "All white people are seeking to oppress me" or "all men are dangerous" are based on sweeping and dysfunctional generalizations and...
Maybe I am nitpicking here, but this is not the case. While some propaganda certainly is false, much of it is true information framed in a certain way...
The human rights violations perpetrated by the state of Israel are many and well-documented, in more than a few cases through resolutions being unanim...
Protecting oneself isn't a moral question, but a function of life. I don't think intervening when someone is about to be harmed is a means to "force m...
When one is in agreement with the morals being applied, I would not consider it 'forcing'. But yes, a lot of what governments do could be considered i...
Apparently the Iranians have admitted to shooting the airliner down. I must say that surprises me. Their air defenses must either be old or its operat...
I don't think that's plausible at all. Modern anti-air systems have all sorts of mechanics in place to avoid that from happening. For example, civilia...
What is more likely? All the representatives of government, the military and all that advises them are complete morons who want to destroy the USA. Or...
It is rather strange, since an isolated act of 'decapitation' accomplishes very little in a military sense. The person who was assassinated has likely...
Have you ever wondered why you desire for all this doomsday rhetoric to be true? Not that I'd know. But I'm sure answering that question would teach y...
It is a very interesting question. Firstly, the actor (the one doing the convincing) should ask himself what his true intention is in convincing the s...
In the period 1890-2014 the sea levels observed in the Netherlands rose linearly with 1.9mm/year, amounting to a whopping 23cm over the course of more...
Take the example of the Canadian zoologist who was fired from her job for coming to the conclusion that polar bear populations have been steadily on t...
When the idea is that people should be protected from facts, to avoid having their worldview shattered or their feelings hurt, I consider that infanti...
Many scientists have voiced concerns over the way political correctness is affecting science, especially coupled with the system of peer review which,...
The idea that something that is factually correct should be (self-)censored because it is not "politically correct", coupled with the idea that words ...
No, they are not. Building space is scarce in the Netherlands, especially around the big cities, and projects like IJburg were suggested solutions for...
And to prove my point, here's a site that shares pictures of "woonboten", as they are called in Dutch. https://pixotale.com/story/7596751/ You don't s...
That just goes to show you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet. Those kinds of homes have been around for decades and a remnant of t...
Haha. A friend of mine lives in one of those, and I can assure they have nothing to do with sea level rise. That's probably the funniest thing I've he...
I was talking about sea level rise. I haven't gone door to door to ask every citizens whether sea level rise keeps them awake at night, if that's what...
They do enjoy fairy tales, but not the left-wing pseudo-intellectual kind. 'It was beneficial in morphological terms during the mid-Holocene, but from...
A child should not be put on public display like this, nor should she be ridiculed and personally attacked. But apparently, this is our public discour...
Well, I live in the Netherlands, so in a sense I am the canary in the mineshaft, since sea level rise should have put half the country underwater. But...
What would be stopping them from ending their life (or having it ended by doctors) after they regained consciousness? What if they wish to continue li...
If a fair chance exists of regaining full consciousness, and the patient has never expressed any desire for euthanasia, I don't see how it would be mo...
"Do what you will" as a starting point is untenable, since there's a psychological and philosophical process that needs to take place before one can t...
I don't know exactly how you would specify "the problem". If you're referring to extremes in climate, those have been around long before man walked th...
Climate change is a natural phenomenon. Unless you want to change the Earth's orbit or alter the processes that take place on the surface of the sun, ...
On a different note, I have noticed you referring to a "non-aggression principle" numerous times on this forum and in this thread. It seems to me that...
To be consistent, all interaction that has any risk of violating ethics has to be immoral. That would include a large part of all human activity. And ...
I was just making sure. If no amount of uncertainty is acceptable, what does this mean for human interaction in general? It seems to me man can never ...
