Keyword - in the west. Meaning only Catholic schmuckery and barbarism. Tradition.

Problematic in semblance and inherently problematic aren't mutually exclusive
September 25, 2019 at 14:34
Plain wrong. Yes, and the one I noted doesn't state otherwise - but it shows that Christianity doesn't endorse oppressing women, but treats them fairl...

Things desire to move. That's obvious.

Problems are undesirables. Drowning is undesirable to one's health. That someone might be suicidal, doesn't make drowning desirable to one's health, b...

Re-read: It's a problem for and of every living person. Consequently those who want to live will stray from it, and those who do not, will not.
September 25, 2019 at 12:23
It's objectively problematic in terms of vitality. Everyone who values their health finds it a problem.
September 25, 2019 at 12:16
How subjective of a problem is drowning, for instance?
September 25, 2019 at 12:13
Sure. Because understanding is reciprocal, there's humans who don't understand other humans; as is often the case on the forum.
September 25, 2019 at 11:20
And maybe it does, but it doesn't share your view on revulsion. Perhaps what you find revolting, it views as sanitary.
September 25, 2019 at 11:07
It's not even about that. It's the indulgence of fear that's off-putting, the paranoia. If you put an antinatalist alone on an island with his or her ...

Obviously. And that's precisely why they're all depressed - waving the 'rigged game' flag in terms of an unsuitable for procreation world. It's the ch...

You'd think that after the plethora of false indications within the last sixty years, that these sorts of events would be less prominent, rather than ...

They're obviously depressed, and if not outright suicidal, apparently self deprecating. So, I wonder how you came about the notion that they do not su...
September 25, 2019 at 08:26
What do you mean - does not? It's exactly like a child that loses once in a game and refuses to continue playing the rigged game, so as to not embaras...

Recognize and rectify.
September 24, 2019 at 21:42
As does every other. The traditional sense of gender is as extro- ambi- and introversion; rather than the mockup that's taken its place. I don't see h...

The name says it all.
September 24, 2019 at 15:18
I figured. Perhaps the word to be used there is 'intrinsic' - and then point one also falls apart, as it permits both.
September 24, 2019 at 15:13
The second part seems sketchy.
September 24, 2019 at 12:10
For what reason?
September 24, 2019 at 12:07
Is this intentional?
September 24, 2019 at 08:13
It's short for Aswang.

Now ban the emoji users.

Thanks.

Probable cause clearly states that the detained is suspected of criminal activity, not that he has committed any. Airport security checks function thi...

Because the judicial system doesn't support your claim. Neither the article, nor my experience with law enforcement support your claim. What has you s...
September 23, 2019 at 16:05
.How much first hand experience with the judicial system do you have?
September 23, 2019 at 15:44
It happened 20 years ago, and no, we didn't and still don't have grounds to sue. If me or my friend did sue it would be ruled off as frivolous.
September 23, 2019 at 15:37
Rather than rushing to respond, think it through for once.
September 23, 2019 at 13:48
Obviously. Otherwise, on your terms, it's just a bunch of atoms.
September 23, 2019 at 13:25
Your subjective experience is sound. Plain and simple.
September 23, 2019 at 13:15
Based on what else, other than a consolidation through interpretation?
September 23, 2019 at 13:01
That's the thing though. That's not sound. That's what you interpret as sound. Just like how you interpret a bunch of pixels as a picture.
September 23, 2019 at 12:42
Because sound is relative to the observer - otherwise it's just vibrations.
September 23, 2019 at 12:30
It produces sound, but the sound is inaudible. So, is it silent?
September 23, 2019 at 12:16
Does a falling feather produce noise - is it silent?
September 23, 2019 at 12:09
There we go. :up:
September 23, 2019 at 09:08
It enhances the senses, to help you find the 'needle in a haystack'. It's simple, so anyone can use it - and because it's simple, it can match any com...
September 23, 2019 at 08:47
To be clear, are you saying it wouldn't be silent in the same way a feather wouldn't be silent?
September 23, 2019 at 08:21
Consider that you find yourself amongst a crowd of protesters. You're not one, but are detained anyway for interrogation, simply due to being in the w...

I didn't mean you in particular, but people in general. Simply, you are your world. It is what you see, hear, feel and so on. So if there is so much m...

Depression is in due to impatience; you want it now, but it takes time and so you slouch in dissatisfied boredom, and give up. And once you stand unde...

Rest in peace, sweet prince!
September 22, 2019 at 13:13
Do you mean that in regard to the possible inconsistency in working hours?

How does this infer nihilism? There's nothing that says that the purported illusion doesn't have a purpose.
September 22, 2019 at 10:42
You could be detained as a suspect and suspect doesn't necessarily mean perpetrator.
