Well, I don't know about that, but statistically, you are the only one ;) Ehmmm... Number one, I think you should read the darn question again lol... ...

Given the kind of judgement you've shown in this thread, I think it's quite safe to say you're absolutely wrong, and the worst bit is that you don't e...
June 23, 2017 at 18:16
Effectively, what you're saying when you say the child is caused to exist, is that existing things (form and matter) are so conjoined so as to give ri...
June 23, 2017 at 18:11
Right, I was just talking :-} :P : I asked you these three questions.
June 23, 2017 at 17:58
What's the inescapable position? :s Life isn't an inescapable position. Things in life can be inescapable positions, but certainly not life, which is ...

I'm still waiting for you analysis of this Eggcartus: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/78859
June 23, 2017 at 17:45
Why would I be outraged? :s I'm just stating a simple fact that you've been the most disrespectful in here to pretty much all the women in this thread...
June 23, 2017 at 17:40
Because you love God, and you believe in the things promised by God. "Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" T...
June 23, 2017 at 15:26
Which faith are you talking about? My faith in God? And how can faith be a matter of "worth having" or not. It's not like you do a cost benefit analys...
June 23, 2017 at 14:53
Incoherent means something more than it's not clear. It means that it's nonsense. So? >:O That's as silly as complaining you're forced to breathe! I d...
June 23, 2017 at 14:51
No, I nowhere said that I'm banking on my child thinking that life is worth living. I did however tell you a fact, namely that most children (while th...
June 23, 2017 at 14:41
No, I don't currently have a child because I'm not married, nor would I have a child right away (that would be something to be discussed and decided t...
June 23, 2017 at 14:37
The OP is incoherent. So let's see. First of all, you presuppose that obligations (and responsibility) are somehow a harm. I think this is absolutely ...
June 23, 2017 at 14:23
Okay, can you explain who I will force and into what harm I will force them? Who am I forcing?
June 23, 2017 at 14:13
Well this all is predicated on the assumption that you have to work in a traditional job your whole life in order to survive, but that's false. You ca...
June 23, 2017 at 14:04
:s This is just false. I have a lot of respect for women, there's no problem there. And I don't think you should be the one telling me anything about ...
June 23, 2017 at 09:13
You're right, if you read my posts, you'd see I've already acted in this manner.
June 23, 2017 at 09:02
Yes, I'm talking about all human life too. How do you know that all human life isn't worth the suffering on Earth? How can you possibly know that? Bei...
June 22, 2017 at 20:50
Realllllly? It seems to me he's asking about life on earth as a whole.
June 22, 2017 at 20:46
So how is that sufficient for you to be able to know whether the whole show (not just you) is worth it?
June 22, 2017 at 20:30
That's a strange position. Can you justify that please? How do you know? How would a mortal human being of limited intelligence, a speck of dust, know...
June 22, 2017 at 20:01
:s :-} The fact that they buried their dead, the religious paintings, the fact that they had rituals, shamans, and all the other stuff we can now iden...
June 22, 2017 at 19:57
Right, but we both know that's not the real reason why you posted that :P
June 22, 2017 at 18:33
The concept of an "alpha male" is part of the problem. What the hell does this concept mean? There is a man who all women should want. Why? So they co...

But, by the way Hanover, social injustice does not necessitate that a University chooses professors based on sex, you do realise that right? You do re...
June 22, 2017 at 18:18
Very difficult to say, and it depends what times you're comparing. Say 1950s to today? I don't think we've improved, we've gotten much worse I think. ...
June 22, 2017 at 18:12
And what makes you think I disagree with you there? Have you read this: Seems like I have to cite this over and over again for some of the leftists he...
June 22, 2017 at 18:01
Yes after quite a long period of unrest and bloodshed :-} And you know why they collapsed? Partly because they didn't heed the words below:
June 22, 2017 at 15:55
Yes, and hundreds of times the laws and the government we had disappeared as if it was nothing. The great Roman Empire is no more. Prepare for war, an...
June 22, 2017 at 15:54
No, we're always seeking (and rightly so) to escape anarchy, and never succeeding.
June 22, 2017 at 15:53
Except that the odds here aren't like that. It's in fact very likely we will revert to anarchy. It keeps happening over and over again historically, a...
June 22, 2017 at 15:48
No, I mean that any moment we can revert back to an anarchy, and the only thing that can ABSOLUTELY guarantee that we don't is ultimately brute force ...
June 22, 2017 at 15:42
:s very confusing man!
June 22, 2017 at 15:39
Biological facts and social facts are interrelated, as I have already said. You're not right, because we're fundamentally an anarchy. We need to prepa...
June 22, 2017 at 15:38
June 22, 2017 at 15:36
Haha, so why then did you recommend Sextus as the place to start the journey towards being Epicurean? Why not Lucretius?
June 22, 2017 at 15:35
The leader should be the one best suited for the job. I simply said men are on average better suited for leadership positions because of certain biolo...
June 22, 2017 at 15:30
Nope, I quoted an entire paragraph, and that was just one small sentence from it which you have taken completely out of context.
June 22, 2017 at 15:23
Well the human race does have a tendency towards immorality, so if they can do something, especially something bad, sooner or later they will do it. T...
June 22, 2017 at 15:22
And did I say it was? :s you're really very puzzling... Can you comprehend what I write? I say people should be hired based on their competency, not o...
June 22, 2017 at 15:12
Again, I seem to have to keep repeating this to you. Biological facts don't determine - rather they CAN determine social facts (which is what happened...
June 22, 2017 at 15:11
And you forget to mention that the Judeo-Christian tradition also ensures that it will be the woman's offspring who will crush the head of the serpent...
June 22, 2017 at 15:06
Hanover's post suggested that the reason for social inequality was arbitrary, which is wrong. It wasn't. And that's also what the women's studies femi...
June 22, 2017 at 15:04
Yes, that's the explanation for why social inequality has not been historically arbitrary. And that's also exactly why (contrary to the irony I sense ...
June 22, 2017 at 15:03
Look, if I'm in charge of fighting wars, while you're in charge of watching over the animals, who will rule? I will rule, because I'll become stronger...
June 22, 2017 at 14:58
I never said this. :s No, it's much simpler than that. The biological fact can determine a social environment where women are subservient. And by the ...
June 22, 2017 at 14:54
June 22, 2017 at 14:52
Good, thanks for proving me potentially right. Tell that to jamalrob, who apparently can't fathom that biological facts can determine social facts.
June 22, 2017 at 14:48
QUESTION: Can biology determine social facts? Answer with yes or no please.
