:-O Oh dear, seeing that this is so disgusting, no wonder you know about it!! >:O Well, the term I knew is "cuckservative", and it describes a conserv...

>:O >:O >:O
June 30, 2017 at 12:43
:D And what did you think?
June 30, 2017 at 12:37
It isn't necessary to procreate in the sense that Epicurus used the term, namely that if you don't procreate, your own personal survival will not be a...

Well, sure if that's your thing, no problem doing it at a NUDIST BEACH. But there would be a problem if you did that in the middle of the street. It's...

They are clear first of all, and they are communicated effectively given that this is a philosophy forum and not just a casual conversation in a pub. ...

Do they? Show me a dog starting to become a human. :s Read some Aristotelian philosophy and you may be able to understand what it means. Okay, go do t...

It says desire for the transcendent (which does INCLUDE God, but it obviously is much larger than the concept of God). Yes, quite possibly. Sure, but ...

Do owls have a penchant for irony? :P
June 29, 2017 at 21:25
Epicurus has a tripartite distinction. Natural and necessary desires, natural and unnecessary desires (the desire to have sex for example), and unnatu...
June 29, 2017 at 21:23
Yeah what the hell does that sentence say? Does it say the desire for God or the desire for the transcendent?! >:O I think you just need some new glas...
June 29, 2017 at 21:05
Great, a more circular reasoning could not be possible :P LOL! Sure, that is sometimes possible.
June 29, 2017 at 20:56
What if you are one, and because you're afraid of yourself and what you can do, you've chosen prudery? >:)
June 29, 2017 at 20:53
Agreed. It is more complicated precisely because we're different from animals in that we're also persons. So we have to deal with the fact of our pers...

:-} :-} :-} You are a bigger liar than Jeb Bush, as Trump would tell you. It is YOU who idiotically thought I said God, when I had said the divine/tra...
June 29, 2017 at 20:39
:-} There's a problem with this because it assumes that sexuality is the same for man as it is for animals, and this is not true - at least not true i...
June 29, 2017 at 20:23
And by the way, you seem to think that sexual abstinence or celibacy is a repression of sexuality, but this isn't at all the case. Rather abstinence i...
June 29, 2017 at 20:11
I didn't say it's immoral btw, I said it's not decent. They are a bit different, lacking decency is not ALWAYS immoral. Decency is a matter of social ...
June 29, 2017 at 20:05
I doubt this is the case (that sexuality is central to our personality, etc.). Some people seem to WANT this to be the case, but I doubt it. It's cert...
June 29, 2017 at 20:03
Like I TRIED to claim? :s Yes, however those ideas do require other factors in their environment to be actualised. And I'm not sure that if a child ge...
June 29, 2017 at 19:59
Okay, how is this possible if I have no emotional response at all to exposed torsos, especially for man? Growing up this was a VERY common sight for m...
June 29, 2017 at 19:50
Haha, I'm also doing boring work, surprise surprise! :P All work ends up boring in the end, because all work involves some kind of repetition. It's in...
June 29, 2017 at 18:56
Yes, and your retarded man clearly has only one pair of robes... That is persuasive to you I cannot guarantee, but that there are reasons for holding ...
June 29, 2017 at 18:26
Again, to whom? To you? It clearly isn't one to you. No, a conservative isn't a prude. I didn't suggest you should not show your sexy six pack to your...
June 29, 2017 at 18:15
Well I believe you haven't read all of my posts, otherwise you would understand that I said that the image is ugly, and justified the ugliness based o...
June 29, 2017 at 18:02
You may be interested in this.
June 29, 2017 at 14:56
Why not? Who decides this you? And where have you taken this from, out of your ass maybe? :P You're saying it shouldn't concern me as if this was all ...
June 28, 2017 at 22:01
I would if I met him. But for now you might have to supplant for him. Clearly it concerns me, that's why I'm asking him. I don't understand your quest...
June 28, 2017 at 21:49
Why does he want to appeal sexually and attract attention? Depends on the circumstance.
June 28, 2017 at 21:39
Again, one specific case is not basis enough for making a rule out of it. You seem to be ignoring this fact.
June 28, 2017 at 21:18
That color has the absolute worst light reflectance value, so I'm not surprised. But better than going naked would have been painting your T-shirt whi...
June 28, 2017 at 21:09
>:O Yeah, it's useful you've specified the color ;)
June 28, 2017 at 21:08
Staying cool on a hot day requires clothing. Many people believe this idiocy, but actually the body creates an exchange environment located between th...
June 28, 2017 at 20:34
What you're really trying to say is that the boundary between what's decent and what's not decent isn't very clear - and I would agree, and we need to...
June 28, 2017 at 20:01
Why is that man going shirtless? :s Is it because he wants to show his sexy body openly on the street? Then that's immoral and lacks decency. Ankle sp...
June 28, 2017 at 19:48
O:) What did I do?
June 28, 2017 at 19:34
Yes, except in the appropriate contexts, like the beach. But certainly if someone goes shirtless on the street that should be considered a problem. No...
June 28, 2017 at 18:41
Epicurus.
June 28, 2017 at 17:24
Okay no worries! :) Take care!
June 28, 2017 at 12:22
Is a good woman one who benefits herself, or who benefits her man? I like to go to the doctor who most benefits me, not who benefits himself, I don't ...
June 28, 2017 at 12:13
Well who are you to suggest the opposite? :s And I don't understand what you mean by "bring the reality to a woman's body as it morphs over life"? Isn...
June 28, 2017 at 12:07
It's a biological response that is culturally and psychologically mediated. You can train yourself not to get a boner, except at command (I have done ...
June 28, 2017 at 12:05
Okay, what does this ability have to do with publicly showing your naked body while you're pregnant? :s Which is another stupid thing. Some women aren...
June 28, 2017 at 12:02
I am skeptical of this. Yes, it does have a basis in biology, but that doesn't play as big of a role as we're often made to think it does.
June 28, 2017 at 11:52
The fact that it doesn't illustrate the non-physical beauty that you're speaking of. It's not an image which arouses in you feelings of the glow and b...
June 28, 2017 at 11:50
Basically I think sexual attraction is mimetic in nature (most of the time), whereas beauty is something independent of social standards. Sexual attra...
June 28, 2017 at 11:45
No, I don't have any children, so you're quite correct about that. I certainly agree with all this, and I hope I haven't given you the impression that...
