I like sushi

I think maybe he meant this more along the lines of ‘they are currently not exactly at their peak’. I think that is a reasonable point to espouse, but...

And some linguists are happy to refer to ‘language’ in a broader sense than others. Those that study animal communication are quite happy to refer to ...

Well, the term ‘truth’ is essentially an emotionally charged concept. All concepts are moe or less emotionally charged. Our sense of ‘reality’ and/or ...

I am not entirely sure what you will think of this … I am very much interested in anthropology and the role ‘religion’ has played in cultural developm...

This looks like it could be one thread I could really get my teeth into. First off … I want to try and figure out what definitions and explanations yo...

‘What’ not ‘Which’.

Not really. Child marriage was pretty much ‘traditional’ and this has been pretty much removed due to laws for ‘consenting adults’. If anything I can ...

Stupid question. Flagged.

My thoughts are the same after reading the first few sentences.

How are these even vaguely comparable to same sex marriages?

Try googling it maybe before putting your foot in your mouth. Bye bye. You are in my sin bin again. See you in 2 months maybe.

I actually did just check. I was correct.

I was stating fact not opinion. Scientifically speaking what I said was correct I dudn’t day it because it ‘makes sense’ it is just simply what expert...

You are using this alongside something posed as ‘Darwinian’ though - ie. Scientific. Optimal procreation is not simply about mating with someone more ...

Quantifying such items has more or less use depending on the problem posed. If a problem is viewed as entirely a quantifiable one then it is not reall...

Anecdotal evidence is just that.

I simply relate this to Jungian Individuation. This is (very bascially) broken down into four stages where the outward social projection is pretty muc...

Whatever … there is no philosophical question in the OP.

Entropy. And this is not exactly a ‘philosophical’ question. In philosophical terms we ‘die’ because we are alive. Not dying = not living.

I don’t see much of an argument being presented nor a solid position. You do not believe that suffering is necessary for a full life? What is it to li...

I think it is a perfectly reasonable evolutionary function to ‘search for meaning’ when things do not go our way. That is basically a damn fine surviv...

My point was that they are just words. ‘Suffering’ is no different to ‘meaning’ in the broader picture. I have had a few discussions on here where som...

Maybe if there was no suffering there would be no meaning? By this I mean that knowledge and understanding pretty much tie into some obstacle in life ...

Here’s a question … Is ‘race’ a ‘social construct’? :D I have noticed that people are so quick to say how others are easily offended, ridicule them an...

Is your post here driven by morality. It seems to me that I agree with the gist of what you are saying but any public agreement is necessarily ‘immora...

You are a moron. That is not ‘true’ it is my opinion. Do you understand the difference? I think not. Bye bye. Not interested in any exchange with you ...

I can, and will, do better than you have :) Currently busy arranging trip so it is not exactly the most important thing atm but WILL present an argume...

You have two options. 1) Express yourself better so you do not constantly find yourself telling others they are ‘not addressing the OP’ when they have...

:D I literally just addressed every line of the OP you halfwit :D Bye bye chump

In the meantime I can hopefully help a little by pointing out several issues raised about the OP. 1) “This is, I believe, a new argument for antinatal...

Argue with yourself. Meaning do what I suggest. Make an argument AGAINST antinatalism and see if you can help yourself understand the opposing views g...

He was overly sensitive, quick to insult and never showed any attempt to use even a slight degree of charity in any interpretation. Once cast in the r...

How can I find ‘karma’ abhorrent’? I said those espousing ‘karma’ as a justification for people less fortunate as themselves as ‘abhorrent’. It is esp...

I don’t completely agree there, but in general I would certainly agree that in its current guise it is probably no more harmful than Christianity (alt...

Several years overdue. He needs therapy more than any other person I have seen on this or any other forum. Hope he works through whatever his issues a...

Are you really that naive? That is like saying violence is not permitted in Christianity and ‘turn the other cheek’ is always employed. Myanmar. Plent...

Merely a matter of geography. Buddhist doctrines can just as easily be used to kill and maim. Extremists can exist in any institution. The general mes...

True. It is an argument that every human action is potentially harmful and therefore no action should be taken. The point being if you follow through ...

Well, if only! The buddhist view is basically that children with bone cancer have bone cancer due to what they did in a previous life. Them having can...

You presented a one-dimensional position with no attempt to offer up any other explanations for the existence of ‘religions’. Your entire argument sta...

It was nice to see Corbyn actually give another genuine option for the voters. No denying that.

I came to the same basic conclusion. Many questions are still unanswered/unknown but it certainly a position that contends strongly with any other whe...

Poor and symplistic analysis based on biases you carry.

There is no Ad Hom. I am quite capable of calling someone a complete cunt and yet taking their argument as an argument detached from said cunt.

Evasion again in response to the first point. People DO NOT derserve either harm nor good. Agree or not? If not why? If you do then why are you focuse...

Cake and eat it syndrome. You speak just as much gibberish. People do not deserve harm nor good. It is literally that simple. Jumping back and forth b...

That doesn’t follow. If harm is caused by not having children, or being able to have children, then you are wrong. Many would claim that not having ch...

I think this might be a case of ‘let’s stop wasting our time’ :D

Compared to the US the UK had a left-wing government. Corbin was pretty unrealistic and useless. The only party leader of any worth I have seen in my ...

So when someone points out that your use of terms is narrow to the point of being overtly obtuse your response it “I don’t understand”? You misuse/abu...
