Do you not think that the traits, physical or otherwise, that people find attractive were shaped by evolution to cause us to subconsciously choose mat...

From what you say here and from the fact the fact that you say you don't have such a bad time with vodka, I am fairly certain that your negative respo...

Yes, but it's obscene when you get use that failure to avoid paying taxes for 20 years.

It sure worked out that way for Trump.

Porat always struck me as being kind of like the Martin Shkreli of the internet.

Has that other place officially died? Not that I wanted to go back there or anything, but I just went over to see how it was doing and it says I don't...

The other place is officially dead to me, it is beyond hopeless. Still, I can't quite shake the feeling that some thing fishy is going on (my guess is...

I called it from the first couple of days when the site went down. I said there was something fishy going on and that they probably realised they were...

I still don't think this answers my question as to what criteria need to be fulfilled in order to call oneself a man or a woman. Could I call myself, ...

I agree. Your previous thread I what got me thinking about this. I think we are the biological sex we born with and nothing will change this fact. How...

Bu what does it mean to be a man? What does it mean to be a woman? Is there some set of behaviours or way of dressing that a biological male can man c...

Hopefully it comes back up for a bit so that we can encourage a final exodus.The only problem with this place is that, being a forum made up of poster...

I think you could be right. Or maybe the site wasn't making Mr Porat enough money so he decided it's not worth his time anymore.
July 21, 2016 at 01:15
I have a feeling something fishy is going on at the other place.

Wow. I didn't know this this was already a policy in some countries. This is just another, in a long list of reasons, why Europe is superior.

Hobbits are fictional characters. Being fictional characters, they exist only as ideas in the imaginations of humans. So any true proposition that ref...

I really think you guys/girls are on to something here.
October 26, 2015 at 05:16
I'm afraid I'm still not a any closer to understanding what you meant " the apple and the word are one and the same". We can use discourse to discuss ...

This reminds me of the "sex" scene in demolition man. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k80UQWWUIYs

We can talk about to things non material things such as sensations and concepts, but when we talk about material objects like apples, we are necessari...
October 25, 2015 at 01:54
But we can refer to specific token apples. The apple in my refrigerator is mostly red with a tinge of green near the top. The fact that we can also re...

aha it seems I've back myself into a paradoxical corner. The only way I can convince you that we can't eat words is for you to eat your words. :s
October 24, 2015 at 19:37
To talk "about" something is to refere to something. When we talk about an apple and we aren't referring to the word "apple", a physical object, an ex...
October 24, 2015 at 18:40
So the word "apple" just is an apple? I'm not trying to be facetious here but it seems absurd to suggest that we can eat words.

I'll only post at the old place if I see someone has posted something very interesting and then I'll ask if they are interested in continuing the conv...

What about Diogenes of sinope? I think he can represent the way philosophy can transform your entire life. Although I did fail a marketing class once.
October 24, 2015 at 16:37
We need convince more of the intelligent people that produce quality posts at the old place to come and give TPF a chance. I really think we need a cr...
