That's fake news propaganda, or perhaps it isn't. Google translate doesn't make you understand what has been said; it replaces the words you don't und...
Rwy'n rhannu rhai geiriau gyda chi, ond oni bai eich bod eisoes yn gyfarwydd â'r Gymraeg, ni fyddwch yn deall yr hyn sy'n cael ei ddweud. As I'm sure ...
The game has played out so that there is not time with a short extension to hold a referendum, and barely time to hold an election. I suspect there ar...
People are like cheeses; the good ones get better with age, but the bad ones get worse. In times of stability, the wisdom of the old is a valuable res...
From here. @"jorndoe" Being informed isn't helping anything until it informs some action. I'm not the definitive expert, but the standard list of easy...
Haven't noticed much of that, fortunately, aside from the wall building, migrant hating, xenophobia. But I suspect it will manifest right along with t...
What use is money? you can't eat it, you can't milk it, you can't wear it or warm yourself with it. If it had any use at all, it would be less useful....
But it's marginal isn't it? So slightly less than half of US voters supported a complete tosspot. Hurrah for the good sense of US voters? I'd really l...
I agree and disagree. Immediately, for sure, as the cliche has it nowhere is more than about three meals away from chaos and insurrection. It is not h...
Dudes, the universe does not do what you tell it to. If the universe wants to produce a bowl of petunias from nothing or less than nothing, your argum...
Divide and rule is definitely a thing, and that's what astrology is all about. Therefore do not allow folks that have a different special day to you t...
Hmm. I was not being sarcastic, I don't think i was being hypocritical, and I don't for certain think that social movements are conducted by cretins. ...
Whence, I cannot say. It seems enfolded into the fabric of creation. The lack, I think, comes from childhood trauma, from a lack of love, from a child...
Today, the slates were dry, the gulls gone fishing, and it was a single black crow, knocked off his arial perch by a scudding cloud, flapping like a b...
There is indeed a wonderful dark humour in the story of the Face of Glory, like a good fairytale.and yet something of me is antagonistic to making tha...
I'm glad to hear it. The current pope does not read God that way at least, and I certainly don't think He's concerned about His fanbase particularly, ...
Can you expand on this at all? Is that really their distinction - the believer and the wicked? I have to stay in that sorrow; the loving guidance of G...
Thanks. Your offering is acceptable in the sight of the Lord. ;) I guess poetry is unavoidable anyway, and the cartwheel puts me in mind of Ecclesiate...
It's not a duty I would seek to impose on anyone. Still, having married 'til death do us part', or thereabouts, the pain of the parting is, to me at l...
Yes. you have no idea what I am talking about, as I have already pointed out to you and yet you feel entitled to litter the thread with criticisms and...
People who are listening do not talk about my feelings, but about their own. That is mockery. Such disrespect is uncalled for and objectionable. I am ...
Well ever since the 70's I have been exploring and advocating 'alternatives' in eduction, food production and distribution, and housing. There is no e...
Apropos of absolutely nothing, and directed firmly at no one, if I ever resorted to musical flame wars, this one would be for you. Think of that speci...
The last line of the song is "I guess it doesn't matter anyway." And if you just look at the words, you might find something indicative of nihilistic ...
You're not listening to me telling you you're not listening. Listen to me telling you I'm not depressed, not coping, but joyful, and stop telling me w...
I don't know if I am particularly sensitive, or particularly insensitive. Probably, I haven't conveyed anything very clearly. But consider the conditi...
And yet again, one cannot even wonder what to do about the various factual trends that have been observed and catalogued, because one has been diverte...
This is a major failing of the justice system. Perhaps we need a corollary to the principle that one be tried before a jury of one's peers, that one s...
Now that is perhaps revealing. If we say that doubt and certainty are psychological, states of mind, and that Wittgenstein is describing, not prescrib...
Well the good news is that Emergency triage protocols are being adjusted to grant your wish. https://www.propublica.org/article/the-deadly-choices-at-...
I don't know what to say, except don't hold your breath waiting for insights, solutions or even recognition. My own recent thread on the topic was not...
I'm perfectly happy to say that we are sharing our thoughts on this thread. And in another context I am just as happy to say that the mental is the su...
If you are going astray, you are in good company. Wittgenstein suggests that philosophy almost entirely consists of such muddles. It might be worth yo...
That is what I'm complaining about; that you use words without any meaning and then ask someone else to make sense of them. To define 'objective reali...
Well now you are using 'objective' in the same way you were using 'absolute' before. Are there different kinds of reality? Different grades? Really re...
A supernova doesn't happen in an objective or a subjective way, and it means nothing because it is a misuse of language. A supernova is an object. Exp...
It's a distinction that is much misused and misunderstood. The argument you are making is to my mind almost as misguided as your opponents' position.T...
If I might rename your things a moment red, yellow, and blue, Then all I think this gets you is that yellow and blue are both "not-red", and so on all...
Indeed not. and your right to not discuss the topic of the thread is fully acknowledged on my part. Indeed I wish quite a few people who do not wish t...
