A wall makes the border more easy to supervise through, for example, installed cameras and the like. Also depending on the type of foundation used for...
Oh, so closing off those illegal entry points isn't important in order to be able to focus border security on the legal entry points, instead of havin...
:-} From here: They think they will be better off because standards of living can be higher in the US than otherwise. However, many of them are not aw...
:-} What's this then?! And that was back in 2009. Now it's even worse. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/33433955/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/t/illegal-drugs-...
Yes, but this wasn't the punishment in that case that I had read. But anyway, I think the death penalty should be considered for such grave offenses s...
Right, so that's why I was persuaded that torture shouldn't be used as punishment against unrepentant mass murderers and psychopathic serial killers, ...
How could we discuss real cases? Are any of us military generals or law enforcement agents dealing with terrorists, mass murderers, serial killers and...
Yes, and I largely disagree with that. But I don't disagree with the fact that illegal immigration shouldn't be permitted, first and foremost because ...
Now, @"Sapientia", it seems to me that you cannot distinguish from cases of dangerous terrorists, mass murderers, psychopathic serial killers, and the...
Yes for extreme cases torture may be justified. If a terrorist for example knows the location of a bomb that is about to explode and kill thousands of...
Even in that case I said the death penalty may be warranted for extreme cases of things like serial killers, pedophiles, mass murderers, torturers etc...
I don't think that being moral requires conflict, but quite the contrary, it is the resolution of conflict through forgiveness and love instead of thr...
Yeah this is exactly the mythological justification and covering up of violence that René Girard critiques. You can find this same thing in Hegel, and...
Well, that would be if we only consider dialogues like Euthyphro where no positive conceptions are left standing. However, in other dialogues, like Re...
It isn't particularly right wing, but there seems to be a group of men in the West into these ideas like MGTOW and the like, which can get quite anti-...
Oh yeah, you're actually expected to think for yourself and relate it to your own experiences, wow, who would ever do that! You should get a room for ...
The dream itself contains the message. Nope. I haven't actually said that, I merely drew your attention to the fact that the Bible itself doesn't pain...
No, he did not know what God communicated to him through the vision he had. That's why he was perplexed. He is a philosopher, not a guru, so he doesn'...
I would if I knew more clearly what to look up. You can cite them if you have them at hand. The problem of course is that I don't know what you mean b...
It is most evident as a teenager because teenagers don't have the pressures of surviving and earning a bread that adults do, so they're most free to f...
It is true though. Human sexuality is more conflictual than animal sexuality, and quite the opposite from what most people think, it's most often not ...
One cannot interpret or understand without context. A sentence isn't some Platonic object that lives off in some separate realm and can be understood ...
"Human sexuality will be even more conflictual than animal sexuality and makes sexuality itself incapable of being a factor of stability in human rela...
That depends on what you understand by Darwinian evolution and intelligent design. To claim that intelligent design is wrong - if by that we understan...
This is quite a modern phenomenon which goes hand in hand with the specialization that industrialism has introduced for economic reasons, and doesn't ...
I am not obtuse, I'm just pointing out to the obvious failing in your previous point. ANY scientific theory whatsoever will have metaphysical presuppo...
It depends how you set the criteria for judging this. What impact factors will you take to be "respected"? Universities, schools, etc. can pretty much...
Just as it has brought us atomic bombs, chemical weapons, neutron bombs, high levels of pollution, a society built on consumerism and stress, global w...
That's not under discussion, the only factor under discussion is whether there is an intelligence along the evolutionary process. Much like the pilot-...
In-so-far as ID addresses the evolution (or creation) of physical things it is absolutely a scientific theory. All scientific theories have metaphysic...
Stating that the evidence isn't conclusive isn't the same as ignoring it. Yes 'heat death' is a possibility, certainly. A possibility that we don't ac...
No. I need to know, to begin with, which cat. Not necessarily. The sentence may be code for something else for example. I've stated that it must be re...
The problem is that your attitude is precisely anti-scientific and dogmatic. This was one of the major problems with the previous forum and one of the...
No knowledge with regards to the very far future and the very far past counts as "strongly" supported. You cannot just assume that you can extend your...
You mean similar to how geocentrists first addressed errors that appeared in their model by introducing different fudge factors to account for the act...
Utter lack of determination is a logical contradiction, for it aims to be a determination itself and fails. Your vague potential is nonsense. A logica...
We look at the Universe. We understand that to have lower degrees of order lead to greater degrees of order, there needs to be an intelligence at work...
