This is my 7297th, beat that.

In regards to his physical strength and physical size yes. In other regards, no. Maybe not in itself, but to the one who is violent, love is also viol...
October 06, 2017 at 08:14
Okay but objectively, because there is a difference in physical strength between men and women, it is physical strength that is associated with mascul...

The evolutionary game is designed for you to lose. Trying to play the game is like going to the casino and trying to beat the house. It's stupid, you ...

>:) Of course.
October 05, 2017 at 10:41
>:O Goodnight!
October 04, 2017 at 19:08
I hope that's not how you edit my paper when I submit it to you >:)

Let's see, is this third party Hanover? :D
October 04, 2017 at 18:48
I agree with this sentiment. Banning guns is not the solution necessarily. America has a cultural problem with this sort of violence. Even if you ban ...
October 04, 2017 at 18:40
Well yes, you can always send me a PM :D
October 04, 2017 at 18:39
Well, that's because it usually is a juvenile inquiry :-O The focus on specialization has to do with the effects of industrialization and maximising t...
October 04, 2017 at 18:06
No >:O
October 04, 2017 at 16:50
No, I don't think this follows at all. Clinical psychological practice illustrates very clearly that a psychopath is self-deceived to a much greater d...
October 04, 2017 at 12:53
It isn't entirely subjective. Whether someone is the stronger or weaker party is an objective fact. Say someone has a gun and the other person has a k...

I want to put up one titled "The Poll That Baden Doesn't Want You To See". Is that allowed?

Put that alcohol down!!! >:O https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIreofCO6zg

Oh, I thought you wanted me to batter against the heavenly gates - I just informed you that it may be some time until I get that chance :P
October 04, 2017 at 08:50
I would say that masculinity is a natural acquisitive strategy that is predisposed to be chosen because of the average asymmetry in physical strength ...
October 04, 2017 at 08:48
Which ones, the Pearly Gates? It will be some time (I hope) until I get to batter against them :P
October 04, 2017 at 08:39
But of course! >:O Ah, when will it be presented? :D
October 04, 2017 at 08:24
Oh, I should say that the fact that legal immigrants are involved in less crime than natives wouldn't surprise me.
October 03, 2017 at 21:03
Michael I have checked your statistics with regards to immigration (those from the CATO Institute) and my issue with them is mainly in the way they've...
October 03, 2017 at 20:58
Also it's interesting to note that the intensity and death toll of such attacks is only rising with time. I think it is clear that violence is on the ...
October 03, 2017 at 20:43
Yes, I think this is on the right track. But how does it happen that someone loses their intrinsic connection to reality? I think understanding this i...
October 03, 2017 at 20:22
Well, ISIS has claimed the attack actually, there's just no independent evidence linking him to ISIS yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_z3ss6omOY ...
October 03, 2017 at 20:09
Could you get away with the effects that immoral behaviour would have on you (and your own well-being), regardless of what other people do? I don't th...

October 03, 2017 at 18:07
No, nobody disagrees. But the more horrifying thing is that such a person finds it easy to set up in a hotel room and carry so many guns around. I mea...
October 03, 2017 at 18:04
Yes. For example, human beings are so structured that they all need to consume food and drink water in order to survive. This is an invariant structur...
October 03, 2017 at 15:45
The fact that motivations aren't all random as we'd expect them to be if there was no generative principle behind them points precisely to the need fo...
October 03, 2017 at 15:35
And this is actually not that radical of a claim at all. We often say about others "they are not acting in their best interest". It's a phenomenon tha...
October 03, 2017 at 14:01
To be even more explicit... If your whims and preferences are actually not your own, then your reasoning faculty cannot be directed towards self-inter...
October 03, 2017 at 13:52
It does matter because to answer me that it is your whims and preferences which provide the necessary link between reason and self-interest is to mere...
October 03, 2017 at 13:47
Are your preferences and whims your own? What if they're not? Where do they come from?
October 03, 2017 at 13:43
Why do you take your own personal benefit to be the "rational" thing to pursue? It seems to me that on an a priori and purely logical basis it is no m...
October 03, 2017 at 13:11
Those that form the boundaries that delimit human thought and affective capacity. Yes, in the same manner that blindness (or any other form of ignoran...
October 03, 2017 at 13:03
Hmm, okay, but surely we can scratch out the soul since it's ultimately a metaphor, what is important is the underlying reality that it signifies. Tha...
October 03, 2017 at 09:26
Well yes, it's quite obvious that it's not necessarily immoral to break the law.
October 03, 2017 at 09:18
There's also the objection that immorality (manipulation and deception) are harmful in themselves, regardless of the external consequences they bring....
October 03, 2017 at 08:41
Sure but keep in mind that's lower bound, assuming crime rate is same among illegal as among legal immigrants. But we actually know that crime rate is...
October 02, 2017 at 19:09
To be more exact, average number of arrests was 7 arrests per criminal alien.
October 02, 2017 at 18:49
No worries. I calculated with the total number of immigrants as well. Still gives a higher rate by 67% and that's not taking into account that illegal...
October 02, 2017 at 18:45
Do we have evidence they lean towards drug crimes carried along the border? If so, yes, there would be a greater degree of error when extrapolating fr...
October 02, 2017 at 18:43
Yep, I agree.
October 02, 2017 at 18:33
I haven't looked at your studies yet because I must first disable my Ad Blocker. I will look at it soon. Which part of that statement do you not get? ...
October 02, 2017 at 18:26
Yes and be amenable to change in the future >:) (you've learned the lesson well that radical change must come bit by bit... by the time we're over the...
October 02, 2017 at 18:11
I did say I don't personally believe that number, but I can't admit that it is propaganda because there's just no evidence that it is propaganda. You ...
October 02, 2017 at 18:08
The crime rates are higher overall for illegal immigrants than for your average citizen, and that's almost beyond doubt. Regarding the murder rates, y...

There are no non-partisan organizations, only some which pretend to be non-partisan. So let me turn that question back at you. But besides that point,...
