Agustino

>:O

It's now bolded. No, no, I'm not scorpion, I am this >:) : http://www.crystalinks.com/leorb.jpg

You mean like Agustino? >:)

>:) I corrected it.

No, since they have free will. You cannot extend your analogy from purely determinisic - actually not even that, but rather fatalistic - molecules to ...

The issues on that site had to do with how the connection between the user's actions and the database were laid out. I presume they were made in an an...

Obviously. So from this we can only conclude that what they're after really is something quite different.

Well, multiple things. Firstly and most importantly, society is made of individuals. Individuals aren't like gas molecules - they have free will. That...

"Estimation theory is a branch of statistics that deals with estimating the values of parameters based on measured empirical data that has a random co...

I gave you exactly the same example. The movement of gas molecules is deterministic. But yet we use statistics to assess certain gas properties - why?...

Yah, but you keep talking as if you were in the stone ages of business when you put the whip on workers and forced them to work while starving in your...

Yep, like gas molecules so what? In the case of gas, we're interested in what happens to the gas as a whole, not what happens to an individual molecul...

Matters of morality aren't matters of taste - nor are they like matters of taste for that matter. Riiiiiiiight, therefore let's go with our breasts ou...

That is only if the territory is random - ie if there is no directly identifiable efficient cause.

Yeah I want to flip the tables, since there is free will when it comes to human behaviour, hence why there is moral agency and responsibility for one'...

This is the Shoutbox :s - you go horsing around with Sean Hannity Hanover all the time around here, why can't I have a less serious discussion here wi...

I never claimed that :s . Either you start representing what I say truthfully, or there's no point discussing. Yeah, so what? I don't see what this ha...

Well, I freely admit to wanting to impose the values of my civilisation on people who want to live in it - because it is what holds us together, AND b...

No, they only apply to individuals in-so-far as you don't know what you're talking about. Quite frankly, you're not worth my time with this nonsense. ...

Money is a fictive commodity though. It only gets its value because we agree, collectively, to give it value and to respect that value in order to fac...

Oh dear >:O >:O I will not quote that.

Yes, a man like Newton who devoted years to investigating the Number of the Beast and similar matters was certainly very much devoted and interested i...

:-} don't make me laugh. You clearly do understand the way in which statistics do apply to individuals and they ways in which they don't.

By and large - literarily everything was hyperbole. :-} - no, I wasn't speaking about just vocally giving lip service to religion, I was saying that t...

No, I actually have no clue. Yeah, and I asked you what does balance and proportion have to do with this? Why is it that things need to be proportiona...

Right, perhaps the wrong word choice. And who were the scientists? You know Newton for example was a very religious man, as were MOST of the important...

Oh yeah, I'm talking 'bout Christianity cause that's what other people were talking about, you know, the world doesn't revolve around TimeLine and her...

haha :P

Right, and we discussed in what regards he is right and in what regards he isn't. He's not right that if 1% owns 99% of the wealth it's necessarily ba...

Hmmm... They are more accurately Gen Z, however most go by millenials today. Millenials include people born in the 1980s too.

Yep, I agree. Sappy and Bitter Crank obviously don't like accumulations of wealth, but they have done precious little to rationally justify this disli...

That's a lie. For example, Galileo fought against reason, and the Church fought for reason. It was the former who insisted that a new instrument he ha...

So and so said that so and so. That's paraphrasing what they said, not quoting them exactly. Although it again depends. If someone posted their letter...

Isn't it Gen Z? :P

Yeah, thanks to Christianity. Yeah, which is why science and reason was started by the priests. Christianity is one of the first religions to identify...

Okay, I obviously didn't know as that's not part of the guidelines. And while it's obvious not to post something deleted by moderators, it's not so ob...

So I'm no longer at a certain level of disturbing that requires you to step away from laptop? :D Edits can do magic. The Great Agu, obviously 8-) >:O ...

Yeah, of course they own it, because they built the infrastructure of the value generation and distribution networks themselves from the ground up. Ot...

No, what defines the West is adherence to Christian values, which include tolerance and diversity, within certain boundaries. So by all means your ens...

You know, that's why the West will disappear, because people like you lack culture-consciousness. The Muslims, for example, have culture consciousness...

>:O No, you cannot even define what decency is.

In fact, tell me, what is decency?

No, it's just the truth. You lack a sense for public decency and morality, so you cannot see it. It seems you don't even understand what decency is.

Because only savages go around naked, that's why. It's part of a civilised society to respect public decency.

We don't progress when we become like the savages from the jungle who go around naked and have no respect for public decency.

Right, not being naked in public isn't a wrong cultural value.

And breeding of further conflict.

Yes it is.

Yes, one can protest to address injustice in just and unjust ways. If you protest in unjust ways, which multiply the harm and negative effects done to...

Please cite it here. "No, I need no analysis, screw that, I've already decided it's unfair" :-} You two, especially Sapientia, have some serious misun...
