Yeah, in 20 years $1m will not be that significant even. I'd have to invest that $50k and risk it, otherwise inflation will be eating it out like a bi...

Yeah, that kind of money would make that kind of a difference for me too. But I'm aware it's not a significant difference, and it is ultimately unimpo...

What makes your 3-room flat so terrible that you absolutely have to move out of it? Do you think moving out of that flat is the key to your happiness?
June 26, 2017 at 09:27
What would you do with it? >:O Let me guess... apply for a mortgage, get a new, bigger and more expensive house, buy a nicer car, etc. you think that ...
June 26, 2017 at 09:14
:s give me a break, if I earned 40K I wouldn't lift a finger to be able to earn 80K, as it would make no difference. You can live just as well with 40...

For a person it isn't, but for a business it's nothing. As I said, I'm thinking about earning potential, not salaries, or the fact you can buy more ex...
June 26, 2017 at 08:56
Depends where you live. For the US/UK that is still a relatively small amount. For Eastern European countries, Russia, etc. that's a hefty amount alre...
June 26, 2017 at 08:51
Yes, even that wouldn't be a big difference because the sums in question are still relatively small. It's like telling me make $1 dollar or $5. Sure, ...
June 26, 2017 at 08:33
Maybe Hanover, however the average differences are petty. If you make 90K vs 40K it's not that big of a difference. If a degree got you to make 300K/y...
June 25, 2017 at 21:43
Yes, exactly, I completely agree with this. It's a general command for mankind, not for all particular men (and women) - as I've explained celibacy is...

I pointed that out, Heister thinks (or rather thought) the opposite. Well this is precisely what Heister was objecting to, he was saying that sex did ...

Do you think college is that useful? :P I haven't found that to be true in my life.

What about Aristotelianism, what's your position on it and why?

Trump is old. It takes time for him to catch up with technology. He got into twitter when it became big, so he kept on going.
June 25, 2017 at 13:49
I think the test is muddled, at certain points I had no "right" choice to pick, so I picked one which refuted all the others (which were wrong). I got...

Twitter is a failing business model, losing users like crazy.
June 25, 2017 at 12:52
Why would not procreating be the baseline, when we have a natural desire to procreate and be intimate? Yes, I do love the person. The sex can be an ex...
June 25, 2017 at 12:49
Thank you.
June 25, 2017 at 08:48
Then why must I assume the child will agree with my judgement? I'm not in favor of having children (for everyone), I'm just not against it. There is a...
June 24, 2017 at 21:33
You need to contact TimeLine then :P . Just joking man, don't contact her, she'll drive you crazy lol
June 24, 2017 at 18:52
To be honest, I've grown to appreciate Jordan Peterson, he's certainly better than 95%+ of famous intellectuals you find out there today. There's a lo...

What would the world look like Eggcartus if we installed @"TimeLine" behind the buttons of power? :s She'd be smokin' her hashish while talking to som...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJDivj4XOYg Yeah, please keep your disgusting fantasies private.
June 24, 2017 at 18:21
Why would I be assuming that? You're presupposing that the right thing to do has to be what the child will think is the right thing. Furthermore, I do...
June 24, 2017 at 18:18
Sure, you need another argument, that's for sure.
June 24, 2017 at 13:37
Procreation in and of itself isn't sufficient to cause harm.
June 24, 2017 at 12:40
Okay so what's your point? I have already said that male/female tendencies only exist at a general level, and particular people are absolutely "free" ...
June 24, 2017 at 12:30
If you do absolutely nothing and just plug 1 billion in the bank, how long do you think it will last? :s More than your own lifespan? Probably. Why do...
June 24, 2017 at 11:57
No worries :)

June 24, 2017 at 11:41
No, it's absolutely not. If you have a child in a war torn region, giving birth to them isn't wrong, but failure to protect them when they need it, th...
June 24, 2017 at 11:40
Nope, that again doesn't follow. Procreation isn't necessarily immoral, but it can be. Should you procreate when you're in a war-torn country, where y...

Gender is absolutely not a social construct. Gender is biological. Let's have a kid teach you the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31b_70kzfwQ ...

This may be true, that he's not a very cultured man, but that's totally different from saying that he's dumb. He's very smart, he hasn't however appli...
June 24, 2017 at 09:21
Sure, but he inherited at most 200 million from his dad. His wealth is at least around 4 billion today. He's made more than he's lost, and he's beaten...
June 24, 2017 at 09:15
That is your opinion, you have offered no evidence of proving that.
June 24, 2017 at 09:07
Sure. No, Trump is totally not proof of that. Nor did he intentionally go bankrupt. And by the way, losing a business or two isn't abnormal for a good...
June 24, 2017 at 09:05
No, you should listen to what the guy has to say about it. I'm not arguing based on the fact that someone agrees with me, I just gave you a source whi...
June 24, 2017 at 08:56
I beg to disagree with you. If you think Trump lacks intelligence, you're extraordinarily naive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxQyroQLr1Q
June 24, 2017 at 08:53
Wayfarer, I see you're back on track with the anti-Trump campaign! X-) Maybe they should make a pill for you to calm down, and get over Clinton's loss...
June 24, 2017 at 08:50
Trump may be immoral in some regards, but he's certainly not stupid - that's definitely out of the question. If he was stupid he would have destroyed ...
June 24, 2017 at 08:48
Please note that this is not the first time that TheWillow jumps to defend TimeLine. It's not surprising, granted that both of them are post-modernist...
June 24, 2017 at 08:46
No, that's not what I'm asking. When you first popped around the forum, I remember you accused me of talking to you as if you were a peasant. Now it s...
June 23, 2017 at 22:25
And at one and the same time you lack self motivation. Something ain't adding up. Ooooh, the wisdom! Riiiiight, it's all about the propaganda! >:O
June 23, 2017 at 20:19
>:O LOL poor TimeLine, I think she's a good person at heart, but it's just that arrogance and pride blind her from being more compassionate. I do resp...
June 23, 2017 at 20:15
Yes, I thought exactly this, so thank you for clarifying this directly. I realised as I was writing it, but felt too lazy to bother changing the termi...
June 23, 2017 at 20:12
You disagree, but I agree with you. It depends where you place the moment of birth. If you place the moment of birth at conception (and I would probab...
