The homelessness problem is complex, and its sufferers are not a homogeneous group. Like others said, homelessness range from causes like mental illne...

very nice.

I walk on barefoot I arrive in the town square. Eh? I am, see, scared. Now, this Haiku has both insight and lightness of being. In fact, some physics ...

I don't think insight is a necessity for haikus. Take these two examples.
July 19, 2023 at 17:31
Technically speaking, you don't need to SPEAK Japanese to WRITE a Japanese haiku. Technically speaking, I should have written "Technically writing", i...

There you go. That was some zesty, juicy, gummy wake generated by my silly and in retrospect, childish argument about cliques. Sometimes (? always!) m...
July 16, 2023 at 02:16
Okay, thanks. Cliques now. Private circles, special connections. The "in" and the "out" persons. You can't believe it how much this revelation angers ...
July 15, 2023 at 05:22
You missed it too, Caldwell. The "or" in the middle means that if one side returns and true value, the other side can return a false value, and the st...

Whew. Narrow escape.

No competition. Sez in the rules. :smile:

You most likely did not forget, Baden, but I would appreciate a refresher on the polling method of 180 proof. A short description or a reference to a ...

If you submit one story, you can also submit a poem or submit no poem. If you don't submit a story, you can submit a poem. (Baden, your definition all...

Leo, there are three types of answers to your question. The believers in god will say the question is absurd, and it does not make sense. This is beca...
July 12, 2023 at 23:22
Very good opening post. I agree with what you say. The only thing that I could say which is thoughtworthy, is that chances are that you, yourself, and...

This was worth checking in for a second. The motte-and-bailey (mnb) argument or fallacy AS PRESENTED IN THE EXAMPLE is a special case not of simply mo...

I'd say 5. Or 4. Years of age. Those are too young to die. Or did you mean, OP, what is the oldest age for a person to die, at which point he or she i...

What about human soul/spirit/self/identity BEFORE the person gets born and/or acquires it? ------------ EDIT: Sorry, that was actually stupid of me to...
February 08, 2023 at 10:22
I am not denying that any more. I am just saying that there is not much to say about atheism. "I don't believet there is a god or that there are gods....

If the above was true, then how come the greatest consumer society with the most staunch and with the strongest capitalistic tendencies exists in the ...

I equate the divide, and the argumentation to defend and to proselytize ones' belief, including atheism, and types of religion, to a form of tribalism...
January 31, 2023 at 09:40
It could be that. But this is what it is. I put to you that you never attended a meeting of atheists. They don't talk about what they believe is non-e...
January 31, 2023 at 09:29
Yes, Sir, that's what I was trying to figure how to spell. Thanks for helping me out.
January 31, 2023 at 03:33
I don't see how atheists can be partial to non-fundamentalist religions. Unless, of course, they practice patience, and the atheists do not try to pro...

Atheism is not a thought system. Theism is. Mostly. I raise my hat to Australian secularists. (What's the difference between a secularist and an athei...

Lucky you!! For me it's the opposite. Gots me into lotsa shite. (-:

January 25, 2023 at 21:52
I agree with you again. What I got from your post that is of concern to me is that attaining that truth via information by the media is an epistemolog...
January 25, 2023 at 18:10
What I get out of your post, Fooloso4, is that we get news and although there is some process of verification, the verification is not verified, and c...

Have you looked at your drawings? They are on a surface of a curved plane. It is impossible for the sides of the triangle to be straight. "Given the d...
January 22, 2023 at 07:02
Absolutely not. The atheist BELIEVES that there is no god. Nobody can tell for sure if there is a god or not. If anyone states otherwise, they are a f...
January 22, 2023 at 06:52
Then how do you explain this: In other words: (X+Y+Z) degrees is not equal to (sum of X, Y, and Z) degrees Then divide both sides of the inequality by...
January 22, 2023 at 06:17
Oh, geesh. Atheism is a belief system that includes a lack of belief in god. The entire thing is a belief, but one element that theists believe is in ...

The clear definitions of each what? This is not the first time we, that is, you and I, debate something due to your imprecise, and insufficiently diff...

The problem is the basic misnaming of angles. There has to be a different name for angles in triangles drawn on flat two-dimensional spaces, and for a...

Did we not agree that 2+2 is not 4? You said it needed some different equations, but the upshot was that 2+2<>4, and we also agreed that a 30 degree a...

Oo. I think the actor's name is Emma something or other.
January 22, 2023 at 04:57
That is true. Therefore 2+2=3 is not how things are, and 2+2=4 is not how things are, since both describe reality (as per parts of the foregoing discu...
January 22, 2023 at 04:54
I don't understand why you asked this question, but I'll answer it to the best of my knowledge. Lack of belief in god leaves perhaps, but not necessar...
January 22, 2023 at 04:47
Is it to my thinking? Or are they contradictions very much applicable to reality as we observe it?
January 22, 2023 at 03:10
Not really. Everyone has a concept of god. Much like everyone has a concept of Santa Claus. Some believe she exists, some believe she doesn't exist. I...

Aha. No-one mentioned in my studies that EG is on curved space. Then it's not a triangle, is it. A triangle strictly exists in two-dimensional space. ...
