This is actually not true. Most people who have awful and painful childhoods (in most cases these are intense emotional pains, not physical as well - ...
Not exactly, but in discourse we treat each other's affirmations ("There is a cup") as if they were "The other person think there is a cup". Of course...
Unless they are able to identify what they have done as wrong, agreed. But to identify an action as wrong merely requires the association of pain to s...
When you make that statement "there is a cup" it means "I think there is a cup". The statement "there is a cup" itself is purely factual and independe...
Read my correction. "I agree that there is a cup" means what "there is a cup" means. It also means something more than just that. Do you not understan...
Not necessarily. "I agree that there is a cup" refers to assent to (someone's) factual statement "there is a cup". "there isn't a cup" refers to a fac...
Why are you wary of centralised power? Maybe you don't, but I do ;) Lol joking. But if Europe was one country, we would be able to increase and regula...
No Hume actually advocates for a world founded in tradition and NOT on philosophy. I don't know what crankery you're on about, but David Hume was a co...
Serial Killers, and rapists of the like I mentioned above aren't most people. Most people would also regret killing someone and the like. Serial kille...
Yes if there was no sin Jesus would never have died on the Cross. A man cannot be reconciled with God unless they LIVE a life IN Christ. This means so...
Depends how they are organised. Organised the way many are today, probably not. I broke up with her, although probably, looking back, or rather if I c...
All of them? Not as long as they are active in their porn career. Not really, just deceived, which came close to cheating though. Actual, proper cheat...
Why doesn't it sound horrendous? If he did what he did, but he apologised in court, cried next to the victim's family, etc. then I would say no to tor...
If people left their pride, then they would easily choose this option, as we would all become stronger. With forming a USE? Why? Nooooo, they've only ...
In what sense has salvation conquered sin if sin remains? The whole purpose of Jesus's coming, which finishes with the Last Judgement at the Revelatio...
Disagreed. There is no necessity in this, even if you can treat it like a STATISTICAL law. Then Jesus came for nothing. Can you believe that while sti...
It's not always wrong, it depends on what motivates it. I thought I was quite clear about it. If this is motivated by immoral desires, then yes, it is...
Britain has no chance to win the out vote :p . Some EU immigrants (who are Residents) can vote, and they will all vote against leaving. Historical Bri...
Only Marxists are products of systems ;) :D go ahead, immortalise me! ;) Most transexuals are not hermaphrodites, so this is a falsification of facts....
That's your presumption, which is clearly not the likely interpretation of the story given the rest of the Bible and teachings of Jesus and the contex...
I do recall the parable; fortunately it is part of the Gospel of Luke, which I've read, took notes on every page and read many commentaries on in my s...
Fine, then your definition of ought simply does not cover all the uses of the word ought in a moral context. To be metaphorically commanded to eat whe...
They are not the same "values", lesbian, homosexual, and transsexual. Transexualism is a moral abomination and is most definitely wrong. I'm not sure ...
I didn't mention sex (an activity) but rather sexual conduct which refers to the way and manner in which the activity, sex, is conducted. Thanks for t...
God and one's own nature, and ultimately, sub specie aeternitatis, the two aren't any different. In a different meaning of obligation and command than...
What if, as I have said before, "one ought not to" simply MEANS "it is contrary to human flourishing"? I have claimed that this is a framework which i...
What counts as a moral authority? How do we identify moral authorities? I have offered no sense to it, I have merely illustrated that moral obligation...
If someone asks you to show that this is a contradiction, you will offer a syllogism. How shall we decide on the soundness of the syllogism? A syllogi...
I disagree with moral obligations in the sense of legal, or obligations. Obligation simply does not have the same sense in the case of morality as it ...
You're using ought in two different senses - in a moral sense, and in a non-moral one, without establishing the connection and interchangeability of t...
So I don't understand what more you're looking for. I showed that your initial argument is false via a reductio ad absurdum, as well as that your firs...
Yes, fine. But your big argument has still been reduced to absurdity, regardless of the veracity of this bit of it alone. http://www.merriam-webster.c...
That is impossible because they form one single argument. So it's a reductio ad absurdum if I can show that your argument entails nonsensical conclusi...
:-* I agree, but morality is a choice not an obligation in the sense you use it here. That's why morality depends on freedom. Agreed. What does this h...
Nope. The way you use ought here equivocates on the earlier usage. This is not an ETHICAL question regarding the pawn, unless you want to say that I a...
Nope, unless you alter the usual useage of the word "rule". At the moment premise 2 is ENTAILED by premise 1, even though you don't make this necessar...
Lies lies lies... my comment makes sense so long as sexual conduct affects well-being; it does not have to be equivalent to well-being contrary to you...
Then you don't care about the well-being of others, pure and simple. Consent is not sufficient to make something moral/virtuous/ethical - in fact it h...
No. You fail to realise that the so called poor argument I put forward is sound - there's nothing poor about it, even in the uninformative way you wro...
No I'm not against LGBT "values". I'm for maintaining social order and a healthy morality. That particular person X is lesbian, homosexual, transexual...
Why do you assume this? What part of my writing states that I think someone should spend their time shaming sluts, etc.? Maybe because 1. it answers y...
That is alright - but they shouldn't be forced to do this. If you want, invite them in your home, make them pay an entrance fee, and let the show begi...
Right - that's where our money needs to go. I think LGBT have separated themselves from everyone else by calling themselves LGBT and organising themse...
I am against the spread of hypersexualisation, be this gay movements, anti-slut shaming movements, etc. Patriotism is spreading a value - love and res...
