How many months supplies do you have stored behind that door? and how strong is it? There are going to be some frightened desperate people coming down...
I had covid and I didn't like it, so now I have had the suspect astra vaccine and I'm going back for more of whatever's on offer as soon as maybe. Pub...
Yes, it appears quite possible to me too that a person could be uncertain. However, you do not appear to be uncertain, but quite dogmatically certain....
No it isn't. What is this 'doubt' of which you speak? I know of no such thing. what is it made of? What even is 'deficiency'? From what perspective ca...
If this is your truth, it is a lie to me. And that is the end of the conversation, because this claim of yours denies the function of language. There ...
It seems to me that Grayling wants hinge propositions to be 'grammatical' distinguishable from distinguishable from contingent and thus dubitable prop...
The best sense I can make of this is that you reject ideals completely in favour of some pragmatic measures. But I find it very odd, because i do not ...
Used to keep pigs, and they liked to roam in the forest. They came home for sleep and supper, and we had to keep them in when the hunters were out loo...
Yes, but I don't accept your proposal that they mean whatever you want to make them mean. They are well understood by very ordinary folks. The use of ...
To hate hatred is to hate oneself. I am full of hate, for cruelty, for lies, for ignorance, for unnecessary suffering, and so on. Sometimes it is so p...
For the purposes of argument, let's say it has. Let's also admit that, other things being equal, wealth is preferable to poverty. Still one might pref...

As if one has a choice! But at the moment, in particular, I am hoping to leave behind a small plot transformed from a grass and concrete desert to a b...
Yeah, think so. I wasn't really watching the film, but happened to see the subtitles translating 'quatre' as 'seven' and so on. A neat example of how ...
Lost in Translation I'm not much watching a French film, and a woman says, (but in French, and the subtitles render) "I have this talent, I can instan...
Let me say a word about the poverty of a lack of expertise. I do my own water plumbing, because if there's a leak it's easy to spot. I don't do gas pl...
Perhaps you and I are a small minority. But I notice a related phenomenon that might be called "food porn". Here in the UK at least, fast food and rea...
The freemasons developed from the master stonemason/architects that made an international business of building castles and fortifications, but more es...
The type of the fantasist is the architect. A type so dangerous to authority that he has to apply for "planning permission" to even begin her fantasti...
It doesn't suit my purpose to agree with that either. Or with you, a lot of the time. So it goes, as Mr Vonnegut used to say. But in particular, the a...
:100: (To quote like above, simply select some text from a post, and click the quote button that pops up.) Yet he agrees with Hume, a philosopher so u...
It is a commonplace notion, but if you go looking for the monstrous in humanity, you find it in such reasoned solutions to life's problems as the gas ...
Hume is neither glib, nor an apologist. And Chesterton is right in his observation that it is the logician more so than the artist that is vulnerable ...
To answer my own question, as one always must in a dream:- no it is quite impossible, because to lucidly dream is to be aware of the unreality of the ...
In your dreams! Dreaming only makes sense in the context of wakefulness. I might dream that someone posted, " It is possible that you are dreaming the...
It doesn't of course. No more does loving a white woman prevent one from loving a black woman. But if you will consider what is being said about ident...
Well strictly, one can only steal something if 'we' agree it belongs to someone else. 'We' have very detailed rules about this. Sure. But Identity is ...
A drunk driver who kills is not a murderer, but that doesn't make drunk driving acceptable. Some instances of nationalism are much less damaging than ...
Belonging is never up to 'you', it's always a social matter. 'We, the empowered' make the decision to include or exclude you. We have seen of late tha...
:100: It's always nice when someone understands the topic. So far, i seem to have attracted mainly the right-wing in defensive mode, rather than compr...
I think this ranks as about the most idiotic thing George ever said (he didn't say that many). If he had ever seen the British Expeditionary Force tro...
It doesn't look much like a barrel of laughs for anyone. I suspect that people did what they did on all sides for reasons other than to arrive where t...
