That's far worse, then she will be cold too! That's a disaster!

It's good, you can start by being a plumber and fixing the pipes - if you control them, you'll certainly rule over the economy :D

It's going to be cold on the floor... :(

Mongrel I think Heister wants something from you :-*

So where do I sit once I find her? :-O

Sit down in my lady's lap? Isn't that supposed to be kind of the other way around mate?

Sit down where? :-O

Is that bad? :-O

:-} To say it is yet to be empirically tested is to misunderstand it. It cannot be empirically tested, because every new society that comes up will st...

The one down there X-)

Hmm then what about all the talk of "it would be better if there was no suffering"? The pessimist is still engaged in thinking how things could have b...

The point I'm making is that understanding such lifecycles does not help prevent them at all. Human nature (or human folly) if you want is such that t...

I think we're talking about something different - I'm talking about the fact that no society can be eternal - societies grow and die, and necessarily ...

There is no dealing with it at a social level, I agree with that. No perfect society. But the pessimist takes a further step than saying just this. He...

It underlies the difference between the pessimist and the Stoic - the pessimist is like the person who asks why there are running noses in the first p...

>:O

Yes now that I have expressed my disgust with this whole affair, I will be able to peacefully walk out the door, having done my duty, and let you guys...

Don't think that we're all like you my friend ;)

Oh I'm actually supposed to be hurt now? >:O

This is correct. It seems we have a millionaire in our midsts! :D

Sorry to say it, but this is just disgusting.

Yes possibly one can see this as a way to take vengeance on the world for what their situation is. Have you never felt such a desire arising in you? Q...

In my own opinion yes. Nothing can excuse such behaviour. "Instead you sit crying and complaining - some of you blind to your benefactor, and unable t...

There is no progress in terms of societies. It's the same cycle having played itself out through all of history, and which will play itself out throug...

Yes you did, but I have no beef with it. It's not about using language to talk about my own prejudicies, it's using it to talk about what's important ...

First, when I refer to patrilineal societies it's not of the essence with regards to them that the male plays a more important social role than the fe...

I don't think it's your ideals that are at fault, but rather your expectations. Again it's not the ideas which were unrealistic, but the fact that you...

Okay and? What's there to say about that, why is it that significant? Any developed society is by essence patrilineal in your definition, because such...

I wouldn't even bother to call these 3 people tribes "societies". The only relevant link there was India, and trust me, if you speak with Indians you'...

:-* your passive aggressiveness leaves me unmoved Sir. The real fact is that your so called analysis tells us absolutely nothing. What have we found o...

And guess what, unenlightened is against what he terms "patrilineal societies" and for "matriarchal societies" - as if matriarchal societies weren't e...

Yes, but then this would hold for the one having a degree as well. The thing is the degree doesn't actually help you that much. I have a degree in eng...

Many of us are, same for me. It's curious how high the number of self-taught is in this profession in comparison with other professions. In my ideal w...

I'm not complaining, I'm laughing at them ;) :P fools are useful, definitely not enemies. Are you a developer by profession (as in are you educated in...

But this design isn't bad. The nav menu sticks at the top all the time, the screen is what 960-1000px wide at max (the main screen where the posts/wri...

Why so? Philosophy isn't about what folks like, it's about what is true. Approval and disapproval ratings were misused and became popularity contests,...

No you weren't. You observed usage and reality and saw that one more than one is two. But you could have seen something different.

How do you know what "one more than one" means?

Heh, even 2000s internet was good! 2017 is more about social media than research and so forth. Back then the internet was quite solitary from what I r...

Yes I definitely agree with that. (Y)

Well this is a bit twisted from the start. As I have explained, we don't simply have the desire for sex in a vacuum. Sex isn't end-in-itself either, a...

Where do you get the suggestion that the idea is metaphorical in the article?

I don't see that as parallel at all. In one case you're dealing with an empirical fact - a physical computer working away. In another case, you're dea...

Okay I agree. >:O I won't do it don't worry. Okay. Say I cheat on my wife. Now if I don't tell her, she may never find out, and our relationship may g...
