If you study the subject of iatrogenic deaths (deaths caused by doctors and/or medical treatment), you'll see that it's one of the most common causes ...
Oh yes, please hurry, because you'd do me a great favour by freeing me of having to deal with a character like you. Pretty much the best gift you coul...
That's proof that coke doesn't have beneficial effects in case of stomach ache. But a doctor with a very good reputation recommended that to me a coup...
I don't actually think that I'm smarter than everyone else, so I have no idea where you're taking this from. But I do think that I'm smart enough to t...
When one of the "best" doctors tells you that drinking coke is good for treating a stomach infection, you know they don't know what they're talking ab...
"Expertise" is fake. Experts are dumber than you expect. You have no idea how many doctors I've met who are dumb, arrogant, and don't actually know wh...
Mere attention grabbing. Typical of the fake science community - which quite sadly is quite a lot of science today. They research only what some want ...
Surprised you've listed this over Saving the Appearances. Admittedly, I haven't read it, but some of the reviews that I read of it certainly didn't in...
The fact that he thinks so about his own works doesn't make it true to begin with (I find it quite laughable, poor Nietzsche), so you're creating a fa...
So let's see. You come in a thread that I started and claim that the more I write the more the thread becomes intolerable - well, guess what, if it wa...
And you complain about moving goalposts? You should clarify what your terms mean, that's rule number one since Aristotle! :P You're protesting at her ...
Just because the referents of the words point to the same underlying person does not mean that they both describe Him equally well. I made no mention ...
The "Muslim God" and the "Christian God" are just words (referents). They are obviously referents to the same entity, for there is One God only, there...
:s Allah is meant to denote the same God. Palestinian Christians for example, use God and Allah interchangeably. It doesn't matter if you say God, or ...
Well, granted that you're a guy who used to think the Gospels were written hundreds of years after Christ, then I think in all likelihood you don't kn...
No Dostoevsky was zero percent atheist. Here was a man who died with the Bible in his lap... Although neither was he an exemplary Christian in his lif...
I don't see a link with human rights here at all. If capitalism leads to the production and sale of "goods" which are harmful, then I absolutely don't...
How do you define capitalism? If you define capitalism as free trade, then free trade is an advantage to those who are already powerful, so long as th...
Absolutely not. It's like at a Poker table. When I end up holding, say 70% of the entire tables wealth, then the others cannot compete anymore, even i...
Right, so let's do some economics then. What is this? This is the long-term graph illustrating the average total cost (ATC), average revenue (AR), mar...
I follow. It's not about whether I'm more of an expert than that guy, this goes deeper. I don't trust experts, most of the experts I've met are wrong ...
Okay, but take Kierkegaard that FATHER of existentialism. He was very conservative with regards to the family, although he never had a family himself....
Think about it. If some crazy guy wants X, then I'd be a fool not to provide it, because I'd be dropping the opportunity to make money. That's why con...
Yes exactly, I think that's a problem that we're a consumer driven society. It encourages desires to grow, expand and multiply among the people, which...
What's a proof then? A proof to me is undeniable evidence that something is the case. Such cannot be given in the case of God. I can prove the Theorem...
Well yes, maybe I was too harsh above, excuse me. The last sentence was meant to be a joke, but it didn't come out like that, came more like I was try...
:-} Yep. Regardless of Michael's attempted insinuation, the fact that I haven't read a few books of the Old Testament is not comparable with your situ...
No, actually that's not true. I despise large corporations (>$10 billion revenue) because of the unfair financial strength that they wield. The rest o...
That's nothing but an argument from authority. I asked you to use your head and give me an actual reason. Philosophers of the past may have thought it...
The whole conundrum seems a bit nonsensical to me. Nothing can be "proven" to exist. You can't even "prove" other minds exist. Classical theism does n...
>:O Certainly, but I don't quite believe it's the same thing. Corporate behemoths do actually control the allocation and distribution of large amounts...
True enough but it was kind of silly at least to me. Meursault always seemed to me to be unable for some strange reason to feel compassion (for exampl...
Word. The challenge though is to escape the drudgery of capitalism, and you cannot do that by working for the behemoths of the economy (corporations)....
Man doesn't deserve anything, so why would he turn away? God doesn't HAVE TO give him what he wants. You're talking as if the man in question believes...
I'm not sure about that, it seems that the situation is about 50-50 for married people, with the balance leaning in favour of faithful monogamy being ...
