So unenlightened agrees on some definitions with me, and then proceeds to make an argument using different definitions. Is that equivocation? Yes or n...
November 27, 2017 at 12:55
The definition I gave is also the dictionary definition. You might want to check what "exciting" or "excitement" mean. https://preview.ibb.co/bzpRv6/g...
November 27, 2017 at 12:49
Do you have reading comprehension problems? I defined it that way (it's the dictionary definition btw), and unenlightened agreed with the definition b...
November 27, 2017 at 12:42
Right, you point out what I am doing the same way you pointed out what I was doing when you said I was sexist cause I disagree with TimeLine right? :-...
November 27, 2017 at 12:41
No, not according to the definitions unenlightened agreed on without complaint. Yah, by changing the meaning of excite. As I defined it, excitement me...
November 27, 2017 at 12:37
Nice equivocation. You're having a hard time following. If breasts are attractive, that means they "provoke your interest, liking and desire". I've al...
November 27, 2017 at 12:28
:B Attraction is when you want to have something/someone or be close to something/someone. Basically when something or someone provokes your interest,...
November 26, 2017 at 21:18
What argument, please be specific? Also, don't forget that attraction isn't the same as excitement. It is the result of not getting one's eyes out of ...
November 26, 2017 at 21:01
Right. Well as far as I am concerned, if you're going to speak past what I say, you can go on and duel with the phantoms of your imaginative opera. I ...
November 26, 2017 at 18:10
No. What suggested to you that I might be saying that? Yeah, no doubt if you frame the issue like that it is. But that's a strawman. I was quite speci...
November 26, 2017 at 18:05
I don't think a glimpse is "so exciting". And I doubt that in the West's sexually promiscuous and porn-filled culture "seeing a breast" is so exciting...
November 26, 2017 at 16:51
"I was referring TO you" Your lack of adequate sentence structure and spelling errors makes it very difficult to read through what you're saying. No, ...
November 26, 2017 at 16:26
Okay no worries. Goodnight!

No, I don't support the beasts, I actually despise them for behaving in that way. However, that doesn't mean that women should go around naked on the ...
November 26, 2017 at 13:26
Nobody in this thread said dress is an (efficient) cause of harassment or assault. :s That makes no sense. It's like how you accused me of being sexis...
November 26, 2017 at 13:12
That's an example of moderator talk :-! It's also an example of being clear-headed, dispassionate, and capable of having a clear judgement on the situ...
November 26, 2017 at 11:25
It's not clear why you warned him unless you interpreted his language as sexist. And to be clear, I don't think it's good for Buxte to use language su...
November 26, 2017 at 10:54
:s I am created by someone else. Once created I have the FREE CHOICE between A and B. I choose one of them, and therefore end where I end up. So where...
November 25, 2017 at 23:04
I find Baden's approach in this thread quite horrible. He seems quite trigger-happy with regards to banning, after giving some vague and general warni...
November 25, 2017 at 23:01
So what if I don't create myself? It doesn't follow that once created I don't have free will. Well, actually, the individual does have a very large de...
November 25, 2017 at 22:52
:s Maybe that "impulse" is just who I am. I am part of the causal chain afterall. Determinism and free will are not incompatible.
November 25, 2017 at 22:40
I see, yeah, at the time I left there was basically no "urgent care", except running to the pharmacy and figuring it out yourself with the pharmacist,...
November 25, 2017 at 22:35
Riiight, well apart from the nonsense you're speaking with regards to free will, I pretty much agree with everything else about helping the unlucky on...
November 25, 2017 at 22:19
That is likely to be true, but only from a pragmatic point of view, not from a moral or legal one. So sure, the act may not have happened if they rapi...
November 25, 2017 at 22:05
Right, I agree. That's why I said it's not their moral or legal fault. Such a thing, in a just world, shouldn't happen to them, regardless of the fact...
November 25, 2017 at 22:04
Yeah, to me it's obvious that @"Baden" gets easily nervous around controversial matters, and ignores what he already knows about you. Like the fact th...
November 25, 2017 at 21:51
It's not really luck, you just need to be concerned about these things and spend a long time thinking about them and working on them. Well, if you put...
November 25, 2017 at 21:37
Right, but then such utopian critiques certainly incorporate some dystopian features themselves. Tolkien would definitely have been familiar with Ches...
November 25, 2017 at 21:32
Creating small value on a very large scale, or creating high value on a small scale, or creating high value on a very large scale. So the most importa...
November 25, 2017 at 20:55
I disagree. Yeah, and have very difficult lives, sure. I think that quite the contrary, services are generally getting better and more easily availabl...
November 25, 2017 at 20:34
@"Baden" can you please clarify who exactly is warned and why? You said "some people" so it's not just one person, clearly.
November 25, 2017 at 20:24
So for millenia humans were just stupid, and now, thanks to your favorite postmodernist authors, we are all enlightened right? :s I wonder how we coul...
November 25, 2017 at 10:54
Have any comments? >:O >:O >:O - please give me a call when you decide to come out of your postmodernist books into the real world. Sexuality is highl...
November 25, 2017 at 10:44
Sure, so what? Nobody disagreed with this. Oh yeah, sure some of you :-} WHO? Sun Tzu wrote in his Art of War that if the orders are clear and the und...
November 25, 2017 at 09:38
My computer knows what you wrote, but I cannot mention it because Baden will whip me if I do. Suffice to say that "fair" trials of the "ruthless" entr...
November 25, 2017 at 09:18
I agree, quite obviously. Right, it's really adding very little value, hence why the low pay. You may value conversations, but how much value does it ...
November 25, 2017 at 09:07
Because you talked about the central importance of consistency - ie checking out that Aristotle uses the term with the same definition/meaning through...
November 25, 2017 at 09:06
Yah, I mean there are no women out there who ever thought about using their bodies to provoke sexual desire in men... that's just unheard of, in the e...
November 24, 2017 at 22:33
That's a strawman. To understand the genesis of the term means exactly to understand the process through which Aristotle went to come up with the term...

Hope you all American ladies and gents had an amazing Thanksgiving yesterday! (Y)
November 24, 2017 at 22:10
Sorry, but this is crap. The key point isn't consistency, but the fact that these terms originated through an effort to understand different aspects o...

Sure it won't change your accountability if you like rape them or something of that nature. But if you commit no crime, while they dressed that way fo...

If I secure a $5 billion dollar contract for any producer, do I deserve, say, $20 million bonus?

Hopefully the Lord will bless you, and you won't have to >:O
