Yeah, sure, there is no logical necessity that someone who has the support of the people has divine right to rule, BUT it's a very good indicator. I d...
That's not true. In a democracy someone can stand up, claim divine right, and if the people support him, that would be evidence that he has divine rig...
It's ludicrous to think 1,500 gives only 2.58% margin of error (within 95% CI). To get these margins of error and the confidence intervals we make a t...
It is a recognised factor through history though. In China, for example, they called it divine mandate. Whoever held the divine mandate was simply uns...
People don't get it. When you try to predict elections, you don't look at the polls. You try instead to perceive in which direction the energy is shif...
Doesn't matter. Bus or no bus, if you can gather such crowds you're winning. All politicians try to bus people in, but it's hard or very expensive to ...
Mark my words - when Trump loses the crowds, he will either lose the Presidency, or be out of politics all together. But if Trump can keep pulling out...
Cavacava made an assertion. He based that assertion on the polls. The polls aren't accurate to judge the people's sentiments about Trump (we saw that ...
No it totally isn't. I can see you know little about politics, but there's no better suggestion of a leader's effectiveness than his ability to genera...
Well I spoke with a few people from India while in UK, and the consensus was, quite surprisingly to me, that the British Empire actually helped India ...
No they don't sound like lies to most people at all (have you seen Trump's crowds?!). This is again a big big mistake. Once again, you believe the fak...
The comments of this Crooked News Network bought & brainwashed reporter, whoever he is, are stupid. Total lack of respect for decency and truth. And I...
Well this would be for the generals to have their say in, I'd be in no measure to estimate it. But it's definitely one of those things that we must in...
Okay, I was just asking since I never saw the topic so I cannot make my judgement with regards to it without seeing the topic, but I understand your p...
Not even for moderators/admins? :s I remember for some reason that one time Baden quoted me out of my own deleted posts, so is this certain? Maybe he ...
The cycle of civilizations involves birth, maturity, decay, and senescence. We're now in that last stage. Yes, I know you think that, and there's noth...
Yes, of course, I have heard about it - that was quite common with the Theosophical Society and also Steiner's movement if I'm not mistaken. There's a...
The so called times are nothing but a fashion, which is temporary. History is cyclical, and it will continue to be cyclical. We're at the end of Weste...
That would depend on how they define "win". We will never win in making Afghanistan a democracy, American style. But that's not the only way to win. W...
I'm not sure about that. A real leader is one who honours his traditions and ancestors, not one who bows down to what is in vogue and popular while ab...
Throw them in hell. But even more important than this is that fact that evil on that scale should not be trifled with nor tolerated because it can spr...
I don't know, why don't you watch his speech? It was quite honest, he actually did say that he changed his mind and he explained why. It's a great spe...
Well by deciding on whether the action or behaviour is moral or immoral, we are also deciding with regards to the person no? Or do you reckon that the...
This presupposes once again that philosophy ought to teach us some new knowledge, and we both agreed that there is no such knowledge to be gained out ...
Now you're changing your tune though. Previously you only claimed that philosophy doesn't produce any knowledge (or almost no knowledge). Now it seems...
What about Schopenhauer? I remember you found WWR to be quite interesting, at least at some point. But yes, philosophy cannot, by its very nature, con...
But philosophy is responsible for taking the results of chemistry and linguistics and forming a coherent puzzle out of them no? It is responsible for ...
How else could you solve the problems of philosophy except by talking about them though? I'd go as far as saying that philosophy doesn't have problems...
