Present what you mean by ‘world’ and ‘exist’ in some kind of context to your position/s. Until then nothing I have said has any relevance because I ha...
Words are words. You may not perceive the fist coming towards your face but you will sure as hell feel its impact. The relevance of the ‘reality’ of t...
Maybe then I can address whatever it is you wish to discuss. On the particular point I was making it is quite clear in his own words. He literally sta...
I simply asked what you mean by ‘exist’. I think it is perfectly reasonable to believe in the existence of a planet if certain pieces of data point to...
Husserl ian phenomenology is not at all concerned with what does or doesn’t exist. Kant basically laid out a distinction of phenomenon and noumenon. P...
So we are now talking about the ‘existence’ of fictional and hypothetical worlds? No thanks. I am out. Only so many liberties we can take with words b...
Can I ask if it would make any sense to believe otherwise? Then if it matters at all if we believe in such an ‘existence’ extraneous to our general se...
The fabled ‘collateral damage’ argument. Bombing factories to cripple an nation that is a legitimate strategy, so replying in kind could be argued to ...
I have seen this kind of thing a few times. I feel the issue is more or less about equating ‘struggles’ in life with ‘suffering’. To have something in...
How about an ethnographic and ethnological analysis of the state of affairs in that particular region then? :D Just looking for some productive discus...
I was more or less asking about the principles of the problem and how a path can be created for future generations. I meant in something like 50-100 y...
Thank you. Exactly how comparable is this to the situation in the middle east though. Both conflicts span great swathes of time, but I think it is a h...
Hence why I was asking whether anyone agreed with my brief analysis of why things won’t be resolved anytime soon. The peace holds in Northern Island a...
I make a genuine post and you call me a troll and then follow up with stupid. If you do not wish to address my point that is your choice obviously. I ...
I care that people pretend their tiny voice matters here or that back and forth moralising is in anyway useful/helpful in analysing the principle issu...
‘Justification,’ the favourite term of those riddled with guilt. Actions need not be justified they speak for themselves. None of us are privy to the ...
Subjective. My point is that committing a violent act against someone (striking first) is not what a pacifist would do. Some people cannot be negotiat...
Let me put it like this … If I tell you to shut up and you ignore me then I break legs and threaten to break the legs of everyone you know a love you ...
Why? Many who openly state they hate violence are quite quick to inspire violence in others by way of their self-righteous nonsense. A world full of p...
That was not my point. Not interested in the conflict really. Was trying to point out that media/propaganda drives the agenda (if there is one?). It i...
It was tongue in cheek. Was just pointing out how some military assaults are paid more attention than others. People are quick to call out Israeli ass...
@"schopenhauer1" Anyway, other than the scientific and technological progression what is Western Civilisation compared to other parts of the world? Do...
I think it is more about humans dying actually. That said, idiots will side with certain elements if it makes them feel morally superior. Humans are o...
This is the crux of it. Necessary use of force. It is pretty clear to me that there has been too much force used. If people wish to avoid civilian cas...
The best definition I have heard is someone doing the exact same thing in identical circumstances and expecting a different outcome. This is why human...
