Since when is that?
May 17, 2017 at 20:13
Superior and inferior in what way? I may perceive someone to hold some power over me, and therefore I do not manifest my anger openly to them, but tha...
May 17, 2017 at 13:57
I think it does. I don't know about you for example, but I've had moments when I gladly did something painful, and undertook suffering, knowing that i...
May 17, 2017 at 09:39
Yes but is this a good thing?
May 17, 2017 at 08:38
The equivalence between Love and God is essential to Christianity. It's almost the very heart of Christian revelation. Kierkegaard for example discuss...
May 17, 2017 at 08:37
That's because I think you're considering love from the human point of view. But from God's perspective, God loved before there was any external world...
May 17, 2017 at 08:34
I can agree with that I think :P Yes, agreed :D Peace and serenity - a certain confidence in life - silence and stillness of the mind - are parts of j...

INTJ. It's an indication, but not great. Oh dear... >:O I know a style of management too. It's called bang your fist, but first make sure you have a t...
May 16, 2017 at 12:43
Well okay, but I think joy is different than the feeling you have from - say - helping an old lady cross the street. That is pleasure (whether "higher...
May 16, 2017 at 12:36
This. There is often a tendency amongst philosophers to confuse the Christian God of Abraham with the Neoplatonist God of the Philosophers.
May 16, 2017 at 12:16
:-} Yeah, how fun it is to insult someone who can't even respond, isn't it... pathetic!
May 15, 2017 at 20:07
Yeah more of the shamelessness Baden. But if you really must know, then: First - a protest is TEMPORARY, not infinite. Second - I've decided to start ...
May 15, 2017 at 19:59
An example isn't the same as the topic of the thread.
May 15, 2017 at 19:47
Was my complaint ever that the mod team is out to get me? No, but I know a large part of it is. That's not what this thread is about though. So don't ...
May 15, 2017 at 19:41
Yeah great, at least everyone can see with what lack of seriousness concerns regarding the way the site is run are met with.
May 15, 2017 at 19:32
Is there a reason why moderators are turning this thread into a comedy? When there's no other escape, make a joke about it. That's part of the art of ...
May 15, 2017 at 19:29
Umm no, that one was actually a joke, and you're just misrepresenting it if you post a bit. Not gonna fool me with these tactics. And yes - I do start...
May 15, 2017 at 17:47
Thank you. Apparently I can't answer TimeLine, but she gets to slander me in public, no repercussions. Right, make a note of it, and start doing it no...
May 15, 2017 at 16:38
That makes little sense to me because they are saying things or asking things publicly. I need to respond publicly as well, otherwise why do they get ...
May 15, 2017 at 15:40
Constant attention seeking? I don't remember being around much for the past 3 months. Okay, so TimeLine at the moment has a comment in that thread spr...
May 15, 2017 at 15:29
Because it seems you don't want to answer, I'll tell you. It's 3 months ago. So yes, I have refrained for 3 months, and at the request of many members...
May 15, 2017 at 15:22
What's the date of that post you quoted?
May 15, 2017 at 14:26
What translation are you using? Edwin Curley's reads joy. Which is exactly why I avoided the word pleasure and used joy instead. While I don't know th...
May 15, 2017 at 09:49
I agree, it can also lead to a lot of suffering. Society is generally responsible for a large part of that suffering though. "Well-meaning" friends, f...
May 14, 2017 at 16:48
I haven't affirmed that joy is a form of pleasure. Pleasure could lead to joy, but they are definitely not the same. Suffering for that matter can als...
May 14, 2017 at 15:24
I disagree on this. I think quite the contrary, for most people it is eros and storge that motivate intense suffering. How many are willing to die for...
May 14, 2017 at 11:36
You missed me? :D Actually I was protesting against the Three Stooges who have "liquidated" one of my friends. If you make a little bit of a search th...
May 13, 2017 at 21:34
Was that when you asked me if I'm still beating my wife? :D >:O (if so, it seems that your habit of asking that kind of questions hasn't changed) Also...
May 13, 2017 at 17:57
Some people tell you exactly how you should think of them! >:O http://www.azquotes.com/picture-quotes/quote-if-you-tell-an-ugly-woman-that-she-is-beau...

May 13, 2017 at 12:53
To me this is the sign of an up-coming wave of totalitarianism unfortunately - clamping down on ideologies which don't fit in whatever is the leftist ...
February 27, 2017 at 20:03
I agree - that was silly, but from it being silly to Empty being a Neo-Nazi is different. At worst he is a right-wing propagandist - and there are man...
February 27, 2017 at 19:48
If by this century you mean the last 100 years, you just don't know what you're talking about. Do you know who Augusto Pinochet was?! Do you know who ...

Is this political scientist a Neo-Nazi? Please answer me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Finkelstein He is Jewish and his relatives suffered and...
February 27, 2017 at 19:24
Banning Emptyheaded is really so absurd Baden, that I see it as hardly worth even refuting. First of all, it seems you have little knowledge that amon...
February 27, 2017 at 19:18
Right so perhaps you made a mistake in banning him as well...
February 26, 2017 at 19:05
Thanks for the grammatical correction
February 26, 2017 at 19:04
Perhaps is an indication that it probably is. He certainly didn't state that it's not, and it is ridiculous and presumptuous to think otherwise. It go...
February 26, 2017 at 18:41
good night
February 26, 2017 at 18:31
I didn't say that Nazis or their ilk should stay here. But you are just prejudiced if you think Empty is a Nazi...... That's just labelling. Subjectiv...
February 26, 2017 at 18:26
Common dude... why did he get banned now? :s This is very fucked up. If people keep getting banned like this for holding different views some of us wi...
February 26, 2017 at 18:14
It's hard to say because I know virtually nothing about him except what I saw in that video. In fact, that video is the first time I heard of him, I j...
February 26, 2017 at 18:02
It's hard to label yourself politically. Before I realised I was a conservative I attached no label to myself because I just didn't think any was adeq...
February 26, 2017 at 16:12
Well from what you have described so far, I wouldn't say you really know his ideology - it's a specific label you and him have associated with it. Tha...

In addition to this: http://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/57828#Post_57828 One should always seek to understand what problem someone seeks...
February 26, 2017 at 15:58
So it seems that what worries you about him is taking away the freedom of the press - so you should perhaps inquire into more detail what he actually ...
February 26, 2017 at 15:41
Okay, I'd probably be opposed to that personally - however. What does "dissenting" mean? It's one thing that dissenting means not being able to say or...
February 26, 2017 at 15:35
I think it depends what kind of Nazi he is. Nazis are quite common in the part of the world where I'm from - or at least people who claim they are Naz...
