>:O You interacted with me out of your own free will, nobody forced you to, and then you're the one protesting? That is a bit strange. And putting me ...
How "might" it be somewhere? The same way the sun "might" not rise tomorrow? :-} Don't you see that you can't even conceive how it "might" be somewher...
It's not a matter of confirming or not confirming my worldview. This simply has no bearing on it. I don't dispute that animals have feelings of empath...
Okay I've watched it. Exactly as I've expected - a case of animals being capable of being good businessmen. That's why human beings are also so immora...
I will watch it but are you sure that it's not a case engaging in actions because they are good for me kind of "morality"? The monkey reconciles with ...
Mutual masturbation is, not self-masturbation. I haven't claimed mutual masturbation in the context of a committed relationship is wrong. Only via out...
Why do you think that would make a difference? She can enjoy watching, but that doesn't mean it's any less harmful for me. (Now it's different when it...
You misunderstand what I meant here... I've repeated this multiple times already. I agree with the other disagreement though. That's indeed the disagr...
What do you mean? Relativism is only a problem because it's used as a means of subverting social conservatism. So social conservatism is still central...
Well there's nothing much to talk about. John doesn't understand Spinoza, he's not interested to understand Spinoza, and on top of that he's also an a...
So you are expecting to find such a thing empirically? Don't you see that this is precisely what Substance is NOT? Substance is a logical category. It...
Actually in Greek meta is better translated as "above" or "beyond" (in the sense of presupposed) than either after or about. >:O The idea is that any ...
Yeah - but it is an important issue for many people. Just because you don't see it as important simply means that you have different ideals than those...
Well I wouldn't like to live in such a materially prosperous world with 0 social conservatism. I'd go become a monk in that case most likely. All the ...
I don't think that was a better alternative FOR social conservatism. The social conservative agenda is simply too important to the point that if the w...
I'm not going to address John, I'm done with him in-so-far as this thread is concerned (he is free to remain stuck in his pseudo-philosophy, thinking ...
I don't hope anything about France, I honestly am not that interested in their elections, because they have no greater meaning. Europe is still very f...
>:O if my face annoyed me enough, sure! But I don't think this is an accurate description of the situation. I have more agreement with Trump than with...
Yep. Trump I would've voted as a middle finger to liberalism/progressivism over the entire world - not because I am in love with his policies. I've st...
I don't like the far-right parties in Europe like UKIP or Front National - they're not my type of conservatism. Big on anti-immigration, pro-abortion,...
Why was physics ever necessary? If what I'm saying is right, then no physics was necessary to make the metaphysics of atoms and void possible (and ind...
Right I see how good your understanding is :-d That too is evident. Good if you attacked logical intellection itself, then you have resorted to uninte...
Being is taken to be static, whereas substance is active. The ocean is active - it generates waves. Anyway, I've had enough of you and your refusal to...
Number 1: This means that God isn't (or rather CAN'T be) transcendent. I meant to say that the notion of transcendence is incoherent - ie there is onl...
In what way is it flawed? Stop being pedantic and back-peddling. This is what you do every single time to run away. You gave your question - and the i...
I asked you a question. Please answer it. :s No it isn't stupid. Your question is stupid. If the Prime Mover does the moving then nothing moves it, so...
Pretty much all metaphysics must have an idea of the uncaused, because otherwise you're stuck with an infinite regress no? So even materialism must ha...
:-} Is this how Spinoza has defined Substance? Yes or no? If yes, then please cite adequate evidence. If no, then your point is a red herring or at be...
:-} try a bit harder John, maybe you can convince yourself too! At least you're smart enough to avoid answering my objections to your Spinoza misinter...
Why do you think that argument is a two premise argument instead of a single premise argument? Do you not think that conditionals can be conclusions? ...
It's less important what you call it. The point of the Borat movie is that the supposedly "civilised" Americans are more often more racist, more bigot...
I kind of agree with your description of our present situation as I've outlined here However, I'm not sure in the future you have proposed - I think t...
:-} You haven't understood what I've said all this time. Yes and using substence in a way that doesn't follow the use of it that has been philosophica...
https://youtu.be/nIYuphlmFRo?t=1m15s I think that quite possibly it's not the Jews that express ressentiment in their morality, but, as this video ill...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpan4-P8ak0 This discussion was interesting. Now I don't agree with Muhammad Ali that women should "cover up", but nei...
Have you read my post here? I claimed some one premise arguments are question begging, and they are all tautologous in the sense that the conclusion d...
In my opinion masturbation is immoral, but since it only involves the self and not another person there are few grounds for "campaigning against it" s...
But I do agree that the quote is aimed at pointing towards the same thing. The problem with Buddhism generally in my opinion is that it is confused - ...
