That is a reasonable position as well - not vote for anyone. But social conservatives have been stuck in this position for quite a long time - people ...

Yes! What do you want me to do if the other choices are even worse? It's not like there is much choice is there? Either take a gamble with Trump, or d...

For social conservatives it is. Neither of the other three candidates would promote social conservative policies for certain.

From a social conservative point of view, Donald Trump's policies are more likely to lean this way than Hillary's. Hillary we already know she's not a...

All this is true - but still one must make a choice, which is the better candidate. Cruz decided to vote for Trump and encourage his supporters to vot...

http://magazine.foxnews.com/love/cheating-statistics-do-men-cheat-more-women for example this. 70% for men, 50% for women in the US. The difference is...

I don't engage with it, because I don't care about such matters - honestly. I don't want to discuss whether adultery should be civil offence, or a pen...

I largely agree. I'm not interested to discuss the legality of adultery with John, so much so that I am morally horrified at his moral lack of concern...

No - this isn't the case. In your country - the UK - you are correct. But for example in the US, speeding is not a crime. Neither is it a crime in man...

He said he will vote for Donald Trump. This isn't exactly an endorsement. But obviously Ted Cruz will be closer to DJT given that Mike Pence is the VP...

That's good! Who could he have endorsed? Crooked? >:O And he didn't endorse - he just said he will personally vote Trump.

There's nothing strange about it. In my country it is the same as for MU. You fail to differentiate between something which is penal, and something wh...

Truly you bear your name :P Read Kierkegaard's Works of Love - maybe you'll learn something about it (namely that duty is a sanctification of love), a...

Let me summarise what happened in a more comprehensive manner. First it is to be noted that @"John" is not just against not sanctioning adultery legal...

You should specify the harm they can cause to their partner, and the nature of the harm - namely long-term harm, which is not reparable or in any othe...

Impossible to say. Impossible to say. Option 3: The resurrection of Jesus is a component of faith - faith in the written testimony found in the Bible....

Personally I don't think Stoicism is "obsolete" :)

Doesn't scare me. I have good hope and faith in the Divine. As Socrates said, either it's sleep, or it's a continuation. I hope it's a continuation, a...

How did I not see this reply... my apologies, anyways. It's strange you say so. Conservatives generally are for quite limited government, and conserva...

The reincarnation one is more, or less comfortable to believe then? :P I concur Sir.

Hah! So discouraging all these folks. Look friend. If you want you can study philosophy, but do take into account what these people say, and prepare y...

LOL - you know actually I think that this type of answer (the one I quoted previously) is the politically correct one in today's world. We don't want ...

In other words: you die, and that's that >:O

Okay thanks for clarifying. I do think philosophy should be practical - hence why many such considerations I feel are not so significant when we reall...

Okay - but I find the idea that all these beings are the same, there is no difference between them, highly suspect. In what sense does a being change ...

Nietzsche's interpretation is clearly not the one that Plato suggests in Phaedo though. Socrates wanted to ask the gods to aid him in his journey from...

Look what Watts is saying is true in a very abstract sense. But it's not in any way true that "the real me" or "the real you" is the whole of existenc...

What is the purpose of your idea then? What does it aim to do? If it's just to inform us that existence keeps on existing, and other people will keep ...

Very well then, John or anyone else interested to reply from now on can open a new thread - I finished my reply above already.

This is most certainly not true historically speaking. As regards the general gist of your statement, I will say this. Most people never doubted that ...

This is not true. Every Christian (really, here one should write RELIGIOUS - because all religions are against adultery) man and woman deserve to have...

The thing is, that this matter doesn't even have to do with this. Individual consent IS broken during adultery. The problem is that some are so attach...

Any action performed knowing that it would harm someone is intentional harm, regardless of the presence of other motivational factors. Morally no - th...

These two don't work very well together. I think "quite a lot" is an exaggeration. I would agree one needs to know at least something about the relati...

It's an act which harms someone. Same with adultery, the only difference is that one is physical harm and the other emotional/spiritual. You seem to i...

:D

I don't think any parties represent this view at the moment. At least none from the US. Well I think the most important is for people to organise them...

Given by who?? Rights don't exist out there flying in the sky!

Why is thinking that adultery should be legally punished in some form "self-righteous prozelytizing" and something like thinking that a husband beatin...

Oh but I agree. But being an effective leader has little to do with being a good leader. One could be an evil leader and still be highly skilled in rh...

Thus spoke @"Terrapin Station"...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyE-sEZRidI For example this. This is textbook domination of an opponent in rhetorics - regardless of the content. Loo...

I have to say - honestly - despite my hatred of political correctness, and my many disagreements with Sapientia - that he does have a point... but don...

The question you asked depends on a framework. The framework involves certain presuppositions about thoughts, reality, and how they relate together. F...

I do too - but at this point combatting progressives/liberals is much more important than electing a conservative candidate. If he does the dirty work...

Again - mind to me is not purely subjective, so this question doesn't make sense in my framework. Thoughts, desires, etc. can be objective states of t...

I'm not - I said from the very beginning he would win. He at least is skilled as a politician - he knows how to convince people. The others aren't. Th...

What about the Aleppo guy? >:O

Okay. Then I don't think there's any such thing as purely "subjective" and "objective". I also don't think things are "in" minds. Rather minds are in ...

That is very confusing for me. What do you mean there are minds and existents that are not minds? Mind is not purely subjective, neither is the world ...
