These people you refer to as ‘they’, presumably meaning the great artists (and time must surely sort the good from the mediocre), have not done anythi...

Shakespeare can be pretty tiresome to study at school, probably because at that age you can’t see beyond yourself. But the plays do offer an opportuni...

Do you actually read these posts.

They did! Edit: either you knew this in the beginning and pretended not to, or you just got it.

This is how I interpret your post. Correct me if I have it wrong. As I understand it what you’re saying is that supply of art is undermined by interfe...

Can you explain this for me?

In your opinion, because I can’t tell from your post, is good art being produced today?

I think their art in terms of realism blossomed in literature more than anything else and became popular world wide. Is that what you’re referring to ...

I’m not sure where the benefit lies in this for people today, unless you’re saying it will lead to an economic boom. I can’t find your connection betw...

Obama doesn’t seem to have been affected by your theory, that’s my point.

Tell that to Obama.

The point Judaka makes is so simple I hesitate to explain it further for fear of sounding patronising. But the issue is hypocrisy. If it’s wrong for t...

I might be wrong but that's what Judaka is arguing against and he's arguing against it being done by other races/cultures which seems to be acceptable...

Yes, I wish it was more like that, too.

Yes, memory is good. I’ll think about that.

Yes, that’s a good point. Sorry to this, but what is ideal, why is it individually ideal?

Yes, however, I ve got a bit side tracked, because I was trying to establish why “I” thought the beach was beautiful that day, when it was the same pl...

Yes, there have been moments at certain locations, which I remember experiencing as beautiful, that no longer had that impact on me.

I was going to say that I’ve seen some powerful storms I thought beautiful, but then I thought, maybe beauty isn’t what I was experiencing, just somet...

I’m not sure if being rare or less common works towards beauty. I think there must be things we only occasionally see that are truly horrible.

Of course, thank you.

Yes, I see what you mean, because even at the beach I have, as I said, non days, which makes the good days special. So is beauty a rarity, or less com...

I find posters, generally, only respond when they disagree. Agreement doesn’t seem to be so much fun.

I swim almost every day and that experience of beauty, on those days, has never changed. By ordinary I meant the sun, sea and sand was about as elemen...

You’ve opened a can of worms there. What’s ordinary? Is sun, sand and water ordinary?

Yes, if it’s that good then isn’t it always good and so in a way the song’s lost us.

Part of what I’m thinking is that the extreme alt-right is concerned with colour as their reference, not really knowing anything of culture in the sen...

No, it’s okay, I’m not trying to trip you up. I’m just following a train of thought and letting others contribute.

Maybe this is the problem we all have, with the meaning of culture.

Then I’m not sure how to refer to “Western Civilisation”. If I’m allowed to refer to it at all?

I think you could say there is such a thing as black culture, and blacks would claim that as well. But I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same th...

No, of course no one would be ashamed of those things, especially Yorkshire pudding. The shame was directed at the history and the things they focused...

The more I think about this the more I realise that people are, or have been, quietly asserting their belief in being white, being part of white cultu...

I’m not sure if diet coke was a response to people’s concerns about weight. But the public education about sugar could end up changing what exactly Co...

Yes, I’m being a bit flippant there. Their profit is the difference between what they make and how much they can gouge out of you. After all how much ...

Well I think you’ve already answered that question yourself. Though it’s not in their interests to destroy the market. They’ll keep you alive just eno...

These people are pragmatists. They’re not interested in your philosophy. If there was huge money in it they might be. If there was huge money in your ...

This is no myth, they do know what’s in their best interest; to survive in a competitive market. There are many ways they might achieve this: They mig...

How do you know this?

I have to say I'm not sure how common it is. But there is an element out there, that should they get more power and influence, would be a real threat ...

I think it would be fair to say that the whole of 'Western' society is an amalgam of left and right ideology. So I'm not sure what aspects those on th...

That's how I understand it.

I'm not sure if Judaka chose the term 'alt-right' purposely or was being a bit casual with terms. From other things he said I took it to mean 'the rig...

There seems to be a host of issues out there orbiting around the idea of being white, and then all those issues being conflated into one position: tha...

Really, this is just another chat room and the same people are here. It’s a shame.

I think you’re saying I’m not saying anything and that I think disagreeing is saying something. I was disagreeing with my posts being called irrelevan...

Obviously. Your problem seems to be me not agreeing.

I’m responding to the op. I don’t have to look at things your way.

Because you deny relevance to me looking at the why of morality as irrelevant in an effort to determine what it is, and yet there is nothing in the po...

None of you agree.
