The problem is, I think, that you’re using two meanings of freedom. Is, in your opinion, the freedom to do what you want related to Kant’s idea? It se...

Yes, I agree. Edit: however (there’s always a however) how many times have laws been broken by people who sought to change things? Authorities are ver...

Is it a restricted building?

Is it because he’s smoking, or squinting, or just looking, what?

How do you define that? What law are you referring to?

You’ve taken that line out of context. The line was in response to frank who asked whose side I was on. By the people I mean: [

Yes, absolutely.

Why not? Edit: is there something I’m missing in the video?

What I was getting at is are there circumstances someone might harm themselves without hurting others? Like someone without any family commits suicida...

Can you explain that?

Right or wrong I think these people had a lot more commitment, not just the banging of drums and chanting.

The first part is true. Getting rid of Trump won’t change it. America is dysfunctional.

Okay. I just wanted to make sure we’re on the same page. Is there any possible action that would not fall under this example of freedom and duty?

I don’t get the connection.

How?

The guy in the red hat took the photo.

That’s not the cops taking selfies.

Is it the country blacks live in? Is it the country the unemployed live in, or the homeless, or the minimum wage worker, or drug addicts die in high n...

What’s “this country”?

What about this part? I’m not sure where you stand.

What do you mean?

I went back to the beginning of the OP to see where this started. I’m assuming the example you gave is about freedom without duty, or what some just c...

I had a look at that but it’s all pretty shallow to me.

Why?

Nothing will happen if that’s how the left regard the right. It’s far too simplistic to put it down to two factions as you have, with nothing in betwe...

Well why shouldn’t you have your opinion? Who wants to sit on the sidelines?

Though to be fair, Baden, you don’t punish people for disagreeing. And this OP is very heated, so we either enter or stay out if we don’t like it.

I imagine we want the same things. You want to know what I want from pressure on politicians?: integrity, honesty, true representation, commitment to ...

Well certainly not moderator.

Is this going to go on long?

I’m really baffled by your attitude. Moderator and administrator?

More pressure on politicians.

But not you, eh?

Obviously the people. These people shook up the system. I don’t have to like them to see that.

You don’t know how many people silently support these “morons”, nor who they may be. You also exaggerate my statement so as to attack it. I didn’t com...

I know this is about the US right now, but it’s not just an American condition, it’s happening in many different ways across the world. Left or right ...

Really, is that what I said? And I’m a “ worm”. But I expected that, it’s part of the “conversation” these days. Do you feel, the election aside, that...

The one thing all politicians fear: the people asserting themselves. They all have that fear and they all know their lines.

I agree with you here. It’s also interesting that they didn’t harass citizens or destroy private property but went straight to the source who hide fro...

That’s an interesting observation. So called animal ethics vary all over the world from culture to culture. I’ve seen the treatment of animals in Indi...

Yes, because we can imagine consequences, something happening in the future.

I have a bit of a problem with how we may have known what good was. Is good the result of morality, or is morality the result of goodness? For moralit...

I like this post very much. Thanks for persevering. I have one thing I need to clarify. This is because the wisest choice is to say goodness exists an...

“Religious people” is pretty vague I think. I don’t know how many are against secularism. Do they fear it or do they think that the state doesn’t care...

Okay, maybe this will make it easier. Imagine there’s an election, which candidate would you chose to make a better future? For this exercise/game jus...

Because I can’t state what a better future is for everyone. But I assume you have some idea of what you would like for the future, so that’s what you ...

It sounds to me like you’re really against the idea of killing for food. Which I understand. The only way around that is for us to produce synthetic g...

If, suddenly for whatever reason, more and more people stopped buying factory farmed animals and instead turned to ethically farmed animals, with a ri...

What say I? Total agreement. This is the crux of the OP. The thing chosen, being wisdom in this case, will address all questions or dilemmas in this s...

How would you do that?
