Yes, I agree. Because the Nazi's were responsible for brutally attacking other countries in the first place. So we had all the right to go and attack ...

The question isn't if it's an extreme difference. The question is first of all if both are grave offences. I believe murder is terrible (and even more...
August 17, 2017 at 16:18
I've watched the footage though, and the alt-left was also violent. They didn't kill anyone, or run anyone over with a car, but they did hit and attac...

It seems to me that you're okay with ignoring evil, so long as that evil is lesser and the person who commits it is fighting a greater evil. Is this t...

So supposing that someone assassinated Hitler successfully and then proceeded to rape his wife/girlfriend Eva. Would that be okay, just because he sav...

This is the relevant part of Trump's comments. I don't see how he's drawing an equivalence. He asks if they (the "alt-left") have a semblance of guilt...
August 17, 2017 at 15:45
Being naked on the street is behaving like a savage as well. So all of those are problems. Yes it is. That's worse than just being naked peacefully, o...
August 17, 2017 at 15:32
Wait, so how did Trump draw an equivalence between them? He said the other side (the alt left) also has its degree of moral culpability. He didn't say...

I think the US should put in place laws regarding what is allowed and what isn't allowed in protests. The protests in Charlottesville illustrate very ...
August 17, 2017 at 15:14
Okay I see what you mean! As I said I'm fine to just forgive her, I don't care much about it, but this shouldn't happen in the future. Don't forget to...

I've added a poll about it as well, please vote.
August 16, 2017 at 22:09
Please everyone who posts in this thread: This is important because this member has 6 times in a row refused to discuss the topic of the thread, and i...
August 16, 2017 at 22:07
To explain why I was motivated to bring up a petition to introduce guidelines against slander. The topic isn't about whether you agree that Mongrel sl...
August 16, 2017 at 22:05
For those interested in this thread please ignore John Harris and post your thoughts about whether or not you think slander guidelines should be intro...
August 16, 2017 at 21:51
It's now quite clear that you will belligerently ignore the topic of the thread. Fine.
August 16, 2017 at 21:50
This isn't a place to discuss Mongrel. If you want to discuss that, open your own thread please. This is the fifth time.
August 16, 2017 at 21:48
Yes, and I now clarify that it's not about Mongrel. This is the fourth time. If you will not accept it, I can almost guarantee you that you will be pu...
August 16, 2017 at 21:47
Okay, I clarify once again - for the THIRD time - that this isn't about Mongrel. Please accept it. As the OP I can decide what is and isn't the topic ...
August 16, 2017 at 21:44
This thread isn't for accusing Mongrel, sorry. It's for discussing the introduction of slander guidelines. I will warn you that if you don't respect t...
August 16, 2017 at 21:40
Were they true statements? I want you to show me my sexist statements which show that: Please. Where have I suggested women should lose the right to v...
August 16, 2017 at 21:34
First most of the statements she cited weren't deemed sexist, even by the moderators. There were only 2 that were under discussion. Second of all, eve...

No, not in-so-far as Goodness (being a concept) is a limitation.
August 16, 2017 at 20:08
Reference? And I would agree that he's Goodness, but only in the analogical, not categorical way. Ultimately he is beyond that.
August 16, 2017 at 19:42
Show me proof of the fact other traditions consider God to be hidden. Do Buddhists consider God to be hidden? Well yeah, so hidden they don't even tal...
August 16, 2017 at 18:35
And Trump is right here about comparing Robert Lee with George Washington and Thomas Jefferson the slave owners. He's an American personality just as ...
August 16, 2017 at 18:06
I agree. We have developed the words "racist", "sexist", "misogynist", "neo-nazi", etc. and we throw them around on people we don't like, and who don'...
August 16, 2017 at 17:38
The left is again unfair with Trump... The media is really unbelievable in their bias :s
August 16, 2017 at 16:17
I've read quite a bit of Augustine, which passages are you referring to and which works? I don't claim he said this, I only claim that this would foll...

Furthermore, God is incomprehensible - therefore He can't be capricious, for capriciousness is comprehensible.
August 16, 2017 at 09:10
What reality? If the essence of morality is God's Law, then that is reality. What you perceive as morality - at least in its untainted version - was w...
August 16, 2017 at 09:09
Your view regarding evil being ignorance will be addressed later. Yes, God is above any form of predication - exactly! Have you been reading the theol...
August 16, 2017 at 08:45
What was I saying? Leftist organisations are the very big companies. The bigger they are, the more to the left they go. Communism is capitalism. https...

If God causes the event directly, then it would be beyond good and evil. Hmm okay, so then where does evil come from? Evil exists eternally like some ...
August 15, 2017 at 19:11
Because that's how a moderator should respond to honest inquiries and concerns. Anyway, I'm done here.
August 15, 2017 at 18:54
I don't think this follows at all from what you say. You say that there's basically a lot of factors that can have an influence, and therefore it's un...
August 15, 2017 at 18:45
So in light of this, it seems that you are completely erroneous to call it a myth: Testosterone levels DO largely (it would obviously depend how you d...
August 15, 2017 at 18:01
The first study:
August 15, 2017 at 17:56
Thanks for your answer. I now see what you mean to say. Yes, it's true that the first study does show (apart from other things) that behaviour influen...
August 15, 2017 at 17:54
Do other moderators share his views, that for example: "On the myth that testosterone largely accounts for differences in behaviour between men and wo...
August 15, 2017 at 16:15
I find this to be particularly worrisome coming from a moderator, granting what he considers to be the "myths" regarding the sexes: Either he's not aw...
August 15, 2017 at 15:57
Will the user in question be warned before the ban is considered regarding his behaviour?
August 15, 2017 at 15:51
But would that happen for each and every comment deemed sexist by one moderator? Or would it just get deleted?
August 15, 2017 at 15:36
Okay, I understand now. The guidelines state that : So if a post is deemed sexist by one moderator, is the punishment for it that the author of it wil...
August 15, 2017 at 15:34
Okay, but you do understand that sexism is a very big word right? And people don't have the same understanding of it - in fact, as proven by the respo...
August 15, 2017 at 15:27
Would it be possible to have a clear statement from the moderators as to what will count as sexism? The reason I'm asking is that there seem to be ver...
August 15, 2017 at 15:23
Okay!
