What do you mean? By necessary evil I meant a situation where all the choices one can make, lead to evil/harm. Do you not think there are such situati...

No - but she is using that as a crutch to help her be sexually promiscuous more easily. It's morally reprehensible to use another human's life - in th...

Here's the complete anti-abortion argument, including its presuppositions. Firstly, it's important to understand that abortion is only one piece of th...

Well to see why there is no possibility that indifference is good, one just has to understand the definition of it. To be indifferent, simply means no...

I guess, that wealth, like power, takes great character to handle, and most people don't have the character. So I'm not sure if the poor really are mo...

Hmmm - I think I'd work same as before. I genuinely like working to help other people and seeing that what I do helps them. I just don't know what the...

Honestly I think that work is work. I don't even ask if I like it. For me, we all need to work and help each other. Now I'm working much more than bef...

Ehmmm didn't you post a Carlin video that you took off and replaced with the post I replied to? What kind of social interests would the wealthy have i...

I used to be an atheist that was pro-life. In fact, I was a conservative before I became religious, and I became religious because I was conservative,...

BC boss, you should bring that conspiracy video back, it was interesting! Do you think that there is a ruling financial elite? I'm asking because it s...

Indifference is evil - it's not that indifference can be used for evil - there just is no possibility for indifference to be good. So how come you see...
November 20, 2016 at 23:05
Yeah, that's the kind of money they should never have been allowed to make. Their "work" (speeches, ghostwritten books, "consulting", etc) has simply ...

By the way, I've watched 12 Angry Men that you recommended, and liked it. An interesting movie! Ah, how I wish that modern day Hollywood movies would ...

And did I say overcoming your base instincts isn't a choice? Of course it is! That's in fact what choosing is all about. Following the dictates of you...
November 20, 2016 at 14:45
Yes, agreed - however this isn't to say it is evil itself, only that it can be used for evil. Yes - choices are made for him/her when he or she follow...

What does that have to do with whether it's better to be a devil than to be nothing at all? The indifferent man is the most distant from God as far as...

In other words, in TheWillow's world, if you disagree with feminazism, if you're against globalisation, if you're in any way friendly to whites - that...

The thing is this whole idea of "middle class" politics is fucked up. We shouldn't measure well-being by the middle class. Rather it's about whether y...

I agree.

Yes that was a good video, but I doubt Sanders would have beaten Trump. Trump is a very good competitor, and he has been through his life. If you look...

They should say that to Crooked Hillary who is living like a millionaire off their backs! ;)

No. I could never work for Trump. It is true that his victory was beneficial granting the point when it came, but that's all there is to that.

Spite is to thwart someone else's will. In the case of the story, Diogenes spited Alexander - Alexander's intention was to have Diogenes cower to him ...
November 19, 2016 at 13:19
Well Diogenes was certainly spiting Alexander wasn't he? "Get out of my sun!" That action is meritous not because spite is good in itself - but rather...

Exactly - he wouldn't have gone to them begging for a position like Republicans are going to him now. What he would have done is spite them. That is i...
