It is perhaps apposite to say something semi-philosophical about "bias". It is surely the duty of the media, and ordinary mortals not to be even-hande...
Your link, NOS. After a lot of stuff about their ad campaign, some maybe-waybes about their fund-raising and stuff. Criticism of the actual content of...
Trump is lying, and some people believe his lies because they really want to. People like Trump because they like what he says. I thought you might ha...
Of course there aren't. I don't have any experience on which to base my opinions, so i have to rely on theirs. My opinion is that Trump is a miserable...
Because you are addressing a service industry workforce, obviously, and that is what you think they will want to hear. Or does anyone think that Trump...
You may be right, but my experience is not that at all. I learned much at college but almost nothing of any use from the courses. On the contrary all ...
I thought that would be clear, sorry. The worst feature of insanity is lack of insight. Most people think that sanity is normality and so they like wh...
Have you seen the movie, Pleasantville? It explains the '60's rather well. There was a desperate need to escape from the American Dream, because it wa...
You guys should make like Britain and just incorporate greatness into the name just as you incorporated the unity — "The United States of Great Americ...
Objection! A fish that fails to swim against the tide ends up rotting on the beach like a jellyfish. A good fish is one that does not jump out of the ...
It seems plausible to me that any large regime will inevitably end up in tyranny. Again, that's my "seems to me" opinion, not a solid claim. Revolutio...
This is a story about the folks who lived around Trump's Scottish golf course. I wonder, since it is distant from the party politics, if folks might b...
I never experience sensory data. It is a mere abstraction that imagines the smell of coffee to be "the same" as birdsong and "the same" as a bunch of ...
Disclaimer: I know little about Buddhism. There is a point of view, behind the eyes, and a point of hearing between the ears, and there is a sensitive...
Nobody ever looks up from a phone, and no one who is on a phone in public is likely to be noticed at all except as an arsehole talking to someone who ...
Sure they do, but you have to look up from your book occasionally and look around and smile at anyone who's looking at you. If they smile back, you sa...
Be yourself in a public place. If you are unusual but not creepy you will attract the interest of those who might be interested. It might take more th...
Thou shalt not kill 1, or thou shalt not kill 5? In this context, that seems a particularly foolish comment. It happens rather frequently to train dri...
And I think you are confusing moral obligations with legal ones. Of course moral obligations are impossible. And if you try very hard indeed, you get ...
A while back a concert was bombed by a terrorist in Manchester UK, and there was much criticism because the emergency services (police fire ambulance)...
Yes. I challenge the idea that we have no obligation to strangers. We have a small obligation to do something if we reasonably can to make another's s...
No, I'm on the other side of the lever pulling in theory, but i think in the moment I would be tempted. Try to keep up. There is no obligation to act ...
Nor is there any differential value in the variant examples I offered unless you have something against fat men or people who need transplants. Let me...
I do not always do what I think I ought to do. I base what I thought I would do on my feelings on watching the video. But one of the things I believe ...
In the light of the video above, where folks were placed in a situation that they really believed that was almost exactly the trolley problem, it is c...
Aye, there's the rub. My action killed one, but your inaction killed five. So here is your principle: If I do nothing, I do nothing wrong. So now you ...
Hey, I just saved 5 people from certain death, and you're complaining just because I had to sacrifice you? It wasn't my fault you were wandering aroun...
If there is a principle that it is right to act to kill 1 to save 5, the principle should apply to both scenarios. Since it doesn't apply to both scen...
The sameness in the scenario is that one acts to deliberately kill one person not in danger, in order to save 5 people who would otherwise die. If you...
A definition is nothing more or less than some words about a word that can roughly substitute for it. Take this as a definition of "definition". Herew...
Some people will take any opportunity to make themselves feel better by making others feel worse. And even the mods cannot protect us from that entire...
Banana republics traditionally do both, so it's more a matter of choosing which end of the banana you want to eat and which end you want to pratfall o...
