:Being human: is present tense affirmative (nominative). Human is being, and therefore the human exists. At one point you say that being human means t...
A little bit like you can't point out how much money Joe Doe has in the bank by ONLY knowing all the programs of data manipulation that the bank has, ...
Actually it works bottom up, too, once one realizes that you need two things in your knowledge before you can construct: all the laws, and the initial...
There is no reason why everything explainable ultimately must be explained by somebody. That is a weakness in the argument. In other words, because an...
The sexual revolution came to an end with the advent of Herpes, AIDS and Hep C. But people are naturally promiscuous. So they live their promiscuity o...
You are using the QED as your premise. It's called "begging the conclusion" or something like that fallacy. If specifications exist, then there is a c...
several problems with this paragraph. All existing humans exist. I am a human. Therefore I exist. I don't know how you can conclude, from the same pre...
Finite things have NOT been known for a history of coming into and going out of existence. At all. I am a human; I have come into existence, will pass...
I don't watch porn, but I look at pictures of naked women on the Internet. There are sites for that sight. Free, unadulterated, x rated. Very unforgiv...
Is it possible that every contributor missed the point in this debate? I think it is. Poverty is not an objectively established value of assets and in...
In my town there is a placard hung in obvious wall-spaces in emergency departments and in other crisis centres: "Thinking about committing suicide? We...
Same here. They are fierce defenders of pro-life, of defunct sessational anti-demarcation of globalized neo-disciplinarian oblivion, of morality as su...
I went to high school in three countries on two continents. I noticed the North American continent was more lenient and good-willed among the teachers...
My brother immigrated to Canada, with his wife and his 8 year old kid almost 40 years ago from Europe. Eastern Europe. My bro told me the following di...

I am sorry, "I love sushi" but you trapped me. You said two different things in the three posts you made. In the first two instances you denied unders...
If Plato or Socrates really said this, I blame their inability to see the strength in combination of things and computing the differences into a combi...
You are right that in each individual case the imperfections will not be eliminated; but you could be (notice the conditional) wrong, and my propositi...
To I love sushi: Think of it this way. We love love. We love food. We hate despotism. We love much money in the bank. We desire, we hate, we repulse f...
No, it's not. There would need to be some evidence, which at this point is only faith-based. The interesting part is that some people consider element...
Some thinkers now believe that reason is yet another driving force, in and by itself. Reason is a need in humans, much like the feelings of love, hate...
I fully support your thoughts. Emotions are the neglected children of rationality. As an evolutionary, I believe that all that we are -- reason, emoti...
Everyone knows that logically a god is not necessary, and everyone knows that illogically all true believers think a god is necessary in the grand sch...
I've done precisely that. I can't just now post my formulation, because I'm awaiting a decision on publication of my manuscript, but as soon as my MS ...
