They will find out man. Kids are very inventive, trust me. If you think you can fool your kids, you're dumb. Kids are always one step ahead of you whe...
Of course they do man! Are you kidding me? Most guys probably watch porn by the age of 10 if not even earlier! For example, the first time I watched p...
Well mine seems to be going very strong BC, so I'm not sure about that. But then I'm not a fan of TED. I rarely if ever watch TED talks, I actually ha...
Okay since someone deleted my previous post, I will make a more serious response now. Number 1. Watching porn is alike watching a gladiator fight, in ...
Reading is not experience of the world for the simple reason that when you read, you're interacting with second hand information, which may be inaccur...
Why do we need to have laws if morality is the natural condition? To me, the very fact that we have laws and punishments for breaking the law suggests...
I supplied evidence for what I believe. No, but you should show evidence that human beings are moral. So far, you've provided nothing but empty specul...
I don't care if it's a learned response or not. Of course everything you do is to some extent learned. That's irrelevant. But some things are "natural...
I am equally argumentative with people I discuss philosophy with outside of the forum, but those people who have the knowledge and skills required are...
The world will never change until we stop with the stupid fantasies, and start accepting reality as it is. Acceptance is the first step to changing th...
That's an article presenting statistics. I'm not going to dream up what the truth is about other people - as you seem to be doing - I will look at the...
Yes, the article isn't the biology lesson, I meant you should study biology, to see that the brain automatically releases certain chemicals upon certa...
Right. Time for a biology lesson son. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3283433/A-majority-American-women-lust-men-despite-relationship-say-make...
Okay. I think Stoicism is right, and our common way of dealing with such things by wailing and crying is irrational - although indeed human. I suggest...
Okay, my apologies then. I somehow remember you saying it, but it may have been at the old forum. Of course I can be wrong. Your comments in this thre...
Of course! But that holds true even in a dictatorship. If you're an absolute ruler, you think you can satisfy all your desires and ignore everyone els...
Or rather, it's a question of how you can help satisfy the interests of those parties, so that they can help satisfy your interests in turn (or at lea...
Okay, now you're saying something more sensible. So let's work with this. There's this natural drive to be moral. How come this natural drive to be mo...
As for Obama, what's the great ruler doing today? Buying expensive million dollar mansions, travelling on luxury yachts with all the contacts he's mad...
Nope. You've been a cunt to me, so I told you to go fuck yourself (figuratively of course). Wasn't an issue, because you didn't get what you wanted (b...
Good, at least you are recognising the problem. The issue though, is that people don't have equal leverage over each other. Donald Trump has a lot mor...
Oh quit quibbling with nonsense. Look. It's simple. You are programmed by your biological evolution to want to have sex when you see a naked woman. Th...
Natural is defined in opposition to artificial. Something learned (referring to a habit/disposition here - and no, not the act of learning itself) isn...
Indeed, it's not natural. Morality is largely LEARNED. Why is it learned? Because it doesn't pop into you when you're born. You see a naked woman as a...
I'm not having a go at either of you, however I do expect you to try to address the philosophical/pragmatic issues that I've brought about politics, w...
@"Bitter Crank" Cranky, I've managed to watch Manufacturing Consent and it was quite good. I agree with many things there, so thanks for sharing that!...
Yes, and I still do. Yes, living a moral life is what people SHOULD do, not what they (or at least most of them) will do, nor what you should expect t...
By the way Wayfarer, you should read this. Especially this definition below: My political positions don't seek to regenerate a nation or a race. Nor d...
Nowhere have I stated that. It's just your assumption. Trump isn't my ideal President for that matter, so no, it's not precisely what I'd like to see....
Who told you I can't say it? I absolutely say there's a liar in the White House. But I'm not surprised by it like you. That's what I'd expect. It seem...
No, but unlike you I will not refuse to see the truth of the matter because you're too scared, and refuse to accept things as they are. I'm just sayin...
Actually no, that's not the story. The story is Trump instructed everyone else to leave the room and said, I paraphrase "I hope you can let things go....
The use and application of power is governed by one thing only. Leverage. Have leverage, and you can control what others will do. Politics is all abou...
? Okay, stop citing theories to me. Reality is reality. Any President out there wants to maintain his power, and prevent himself from being abused. Yo...
Okay, let's discuss political theory then, not concrete politics. Why do you think that the boss of the secret service shouldn't be loyal to the Presi...
Who decides that it's the standard that truth claims are obliged to meet? Reason? That's like playing at the Casino - the House always wins (because i...
