Do I have to explain morality, is the notion unfamiliar to you? Some classes of human activities are 'moral', they concern a loose affiliation of beha...
Here's how this little subsection of the conversation started. So if your answer is, yes, anyone with the right piece of paper should be consulted, an...
It was an attempt to show the stupidity of your response. We could identity Ukrainians by any means we like. The point was to justify that choice. Why...
I don't know of much condemnation of Israel that isn't about methods, not borders. But sure, it happens all the time. So does racism. Doesn't make eit...
That's exactly the claim I was addressing. The poll didn't rely only on self-identified Ukrainians it pre-stratified the sample. It didn't ask a rando...
They just beg the question because the polls already have decided who to ask and who not to ask. Why did they not ask the Russians who live on the bor...
Indeed. But less commonly the language of unrelated bystanders, which is what's different here. We might expect those living in Ukraine to be national...
'They' are not. Some people are, others aren't. It's you who are reifying such a situation into a 'they'. Otherwise, answer the question. By what crit...
And how would I tell 'them'. There's 40 million. Do you really imagine 'them' to be one homogeneous mass with a single opinion? It's patently absurd t...
One could question that Crimea was in Ukrainian borders. Are we really going to rehash the whole 19th jingoism? I suppose that would go well with our ...
Of course it would. Entitlement to the integrity of a country's borders is not predicated on the means by which they execute such entitlement. Which U...
So why would you need any more specific an answer in the case of Poland, the Baltic states, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, the Czech republic? Might the ...
You mean the war in which; 1) European and US envoys were dispatched to negotiate peace within just three days of fighting. 2) The President of France...
How's that going...? Greece: Pushbacks and violence against refugees and migrants are de facto border policy Croatia: Damning new report slams systema...

Good to know the 10,000 dead didn't die for nothing. Take that Russia! Perhaps we throw some Lithuanians at them next, see if we can't put a dent in t...

Aww, that's lovely. Shame not every refugee is equally as 'Ukrainian' as this pretty young Arian TV bait you've dredged up for the virtue-hungry masse...
Ah, back to the old "you agree with me really" argument. Your inability to imagine how other people might hold different views to you is your problem ...
Your argument requires a comparison, it cannot be supported by the provision of only one side. You argued that the effect was greater than... that req...
I don't think we can. Contrary to the strawmen I'm not arguing for any particular solution. I'm arguing that just such an uncertainty as you paint her...
Neuroscience is oddly divided, in my experience. If you did take such a survey, you wouldn't so much get a dozen different meta-theories as you'd get ...
Well there you have your answer. You, apparently, do not need to be governed, but I do because my behaviour is unreasonable. As you said... The utter ...
I agree with the anomalous monism, but I think where I might be slightly more sympathetic to @"Joshs"'s position is that, if I've understood it correc...
These sorts of experiments have already been done long ago. Neuronal networks don't seem to care if they're electrocuted, burnt, stamped on or otherwi...
Yes, but that's exactly what I thought you meant in the first place. I then listed several examples of "local warlords, oppressive police, environment...
No, I thought it was the superior man's property, you thought it was the property of the one who tilled it. Thus we disagreed as to whose property it ...
That's not really clarified matters - something 'causing' Putin doesn't make sense. so I thought you meant that nothing else in that list is causing a...
What, the whole planet? There's 7 billion of us. Through what mechanism ought we 'just ask'? One at a time? There's no theft and robbery until there's...
I missed this yesterday. Yes, I saw this in preprint some months ago (last year even, I think). I forgot all about it and here it is in full published...
To be fair... ...doesn't make grammatical sense. I've had to do some charitable reading. Why don't you try again to formulate what you're saying. The ...
Hang on. A minute ago you had s right to your garden because you tilled it. Now you're saying we could come to some arrangement? What about the rainfo...
No. I'd turn your garden back to a state of nature. No appropriation of any fruit (figurative or otherwise), in fact a rejection of the fruits of your...
The question... The answer... Not sure in what way that counts a 'skirting around'. Yes. I've explained that land rightly belongs to the person who wi...
Ah! The old 'you agree with me really though' argument. I wondered how long it would take to get there. That you can't wrap your head around anyone th...
