What's the point of being equal? How boring that would be...

Why not? Hitler is a very interesting character to study. Where do I mention anything about goodness here? :s You are just equivocating between reason...
January 26, 2017 at 22:43
It doesn't show 8-) Yes but you'd probably be alone in that classification. :-} Read some history then? Cite where you think I claimed this, with cont...
January 26, 2017 at 22:02
No. Adolf Hitler was a progressive, and just like other progressives, he had ideas which were obviously crazy. Only that the progressives never realis...

Well it is a fact that Jewish people have done very well in terms of science historically. Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Max Born, Sigmund Freud, Jonas...

8-) - boss! >:O
January 26, 2017 at 21:42
That's just a liberal hobby, sorry 8-)

Mexico will pay for them! (Y) :D
January 26, 2017 at 21:25
Why won't they survive? Because they have a very thin skin - just take their abortions away, and it's the end for them. End of the world >:O - they'll...
January 26, 2017 at 21:16
Anyway, conservatives have been bullied by these crazyies for long enough - it's payback time. Ain't this actually great, to see the progressives fina...
January 26, 2017 at 21:13
Well yeah they can behave like uncivilised animals in the jungle if they so desire, but I doubt they'll survive in there for long ;)
January 26, 2017 at 21:07
>:O Fucking propaganda mate I swear... If you voted for Obama, like that thugs on the street, then you're one of them :-d How can you listen to this b...
January 26, 2017 at 20:40
This is flat out wrong. I'm talking about goals which have no necessary relationship with ethics. For example, I can desire to become the Emperor of C...
January 26, 2017 at 20:33
But surely that's also part of understanding each other - understanding how it is we're different.
January 26, 2017 at 20:30
Yes but it's still another area of study that should be approached normally, instead of with fear. Why should we mind being different? It's only if yo...
January 26, 2017 at 19:43
:-} Great. Now even studying the existence of obvious differences between men and women is sexist, because... you're not assuming they are equal in al...
January 26, 2017 at 19:30
How about you read some Nietzsche or Spinoza? :-d Maybe if you actually spent your time reading philosophy rather than just blabbering what comes to y...
January 26, 2017 at 19:18
Kant was quite possibly a virgin all his life, with little to no interest in sex for the sake of pleasure.
January 26, 2017 at 18:57
You certainly do, otherwise why dislike Trump's administration? This is full of your own assumptions. A being naturally seeks the increase of its own ...
January 26, 2017 at 12:45
As can the ethical for that matter - that's why Realpolitik is independent of ethics - if this wasn't the case, we couldn't say Realpolitik is indepen...
January 26, 2017 at 11:06
Good job :)
January 26, 2017 at 10:33
I think there have been some women holding this status - Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Simone Weil, etc. That they are not the level of Kant or H...
January 26, 2017 at 10:30
If I knew that I wouldn't keep coming out with obviously false statements. Obviously ;) There can be, but so long as someone is in society, this goal ...
January 25, 2017 at 23:03
Nobody against Trump mate because democracy is oppressive, and if you say you are pro Trump you get bullied for it. Imagine being surrounded by such a...
January 25, 2017 at 22:07
OK :)
January 25, 2017 at 22:05
More important than that - who gives a shit how a goal begins? :s All that matters is whether the goal functions constructively in society or destruct...

And who said a constitutional monarchy would involve retaliation from the nation? Who said Aristocracy would entail retaliation from the nation? Reall...
January 25, 2017 at 13:08
If my course of action, and your course of action, are part of the set of possible/reasonable courses of action, what's there to compromise? No that's...
January 25, 2017 at 13:00
:s No, I actually said timocracy as Plato discussed it. Did you actually read my post where I quoted the Wikipedia article on Plato's political philos...
January 25, 2017 at 11:00
>:O Sounds like our Western world... >:O I guess our very own @"Metaphysician Undercover" perfectly represents the democratic man ;)
January 25, 2017 at 10:52
Only if you assume that to be is also to be true. States of affairs. The truth of the two facts is independent from each other. The fact that Joe beli...
January 25, 2017 at 10:45
What a cheat... when I prove him wrong by showing him how Trump doesn't qualify as a tyrant, but instead would qualify as a superior form of governmen...
January 25, 2017 at 10:36
Even on a fucking chessboard you can't determine what the best course of action will be (at least until towards the end-game), and there's a finite nu...
January 25, 2017 at 10:20
X-) At least there was nothing about pink ploughing in there (Y)
January 25, 2017 at 10:15
Really Wayfarer - stop peddling liberal shit without using your head. I gave you something to read. I didn't give it to you for nothing. Go back to re...
January 25, 2017 at 00:24
:-} Since you don't bother yourself to read anything that I give you, I might as well write it out for you:
January 25, 2017 at 00:21
>:O No it doesn't however Plato did provide a hirearchy of governments - you can find them summarised here since you like Wikipedia: https://en.wikipe...
January 25, 2017 at 00:11
That's exactly what a leader should be saying... What would you expect a leader to be saying? The job of a leader is to ensure their country is great,...
January 24, 2017 at 23:46
This is so naive it's hardly worth refuting. In strategy, there is no such thing as the perfect strategy, or the only right response. There are many p...
January 24, 2017 at 23:02
Sure, so? I presume that we're talking about reasonable goals, and not goals like committing suicide and so forth. Now I'm most certain we disagree ab...
January 24, 2017 at 22:21
I should've made it clear that all reasonable goals are communal goals - irrational goals like jumping off a building and so forth clearly aren't.
January 24, 2017 at 21:36
No, I'm making a more significant point. Our goals are always communal to begin with. Right... because absent the rapist, the woman in question had a ...
January 24, 2017 at 20:34
That's what meditation is for :P (becoming aware of how you feel) But yes, I don't "do" free-style poetry. In my view/opinion, poetry isn't merely a p...
January 24, 2017 at 20:26
I mean I had been forced before that to write poetry at school, and so I knew I was good at it, at least compared to most other people in my class, so...
January 24, 2017 at 17:27
I see - the first time I wrote poetry was for my first girlfriend :B Now I'm SURE Heister will say something to me LOL... >:O
January 24, 2017 at 17:26
Okay I didn't mean useless in the sense an object is useless - but useless in the sense that an activity is useless. As in why are you composing it? J...
January 24, 2017 at 17:19
What's the point of it though? :P I called it slime because, just like slime, it seems useless :P
January 24, 2017 at 17:16
And like this I made another rhyme And so I gave you a bit more slime (Y) (Y) (Y) >:O
