I've always had trouble with that. If it "seems", then it's an empirical observation. Have you/we/anyone seen all possible worlds? This is an axiom in...
You can have Liza Minnelli and Fred Astaire. I'll keep Marilyn Monroe and Rachel Welsh. Okay, you can have MM if you gimme Boardwalk and New York Ave....
You said -- please check the above quote and the originals -- that you did not understand the genocide part. That's what you stated you did not unders...
That, Tom, in and by itself, makes it worth it to pursue the idea. I bid (call my own and thereby take possession) of Alpha Centauri, the Milky Way an...
I think it is high time that we take care of the galaxy. We take care of our heritance, Mother, the Earth. We are the custodians of this rock. And we ...
I was part of this in Hungary, between roughly 1960 and 1972, when I was 6 to 18 years of age. There were no public executions of priests, and there w...
You are employing the fallacy of "equivocation". Faith in government, democratic process, money, is a trust. They obviously exist, and there is no one...
My favourite call on Christianity was uttered by a God. The Dalai Lama said, "Christianity is a beautiful religion. Too bad nobody practices it." Ther...
You must be totally blind then to history. - Autodafe - The Turkish genocide of the Kurds - Hitler's role of murdering 6 million Jews - Biblical refer...
I think Religiosity and believing in a deity would be praiseworthy if it was simple presence of belief. It would amount to not needing to await eviden...
SEXISM ON THE FORUMS!!! The bearer of (i.e. the decoration around) a C can be just as capable as the CS. Mind you, the CS could be either of the sexes...
No atheist denies the possibility of a god's existence. They just state they don't believe in it. No religious man or woman denies the possibility of ...
Without the revolution, guns and slogans, we live in a Marxist society if you hold the truth that workers unite and control. Who controls societies' d...
Instead of the costumers paying higher prices for food in countries where the farming industry is subsidized, the cost of production plus profit is pa...
The advocation of global warming by you was indeed not in this thread. So if you think you are not an advocate of reversing global warming then please...
I don't like the "suspended" expression to be used for temporary banning. In Hungary during communist times they suspended people by various small bod...
This is rather curious. I am not making a judgment here, and I am not taking sides. I am merely noticing that throughout this thread you 1. Advocate t...
If the text-quote is from "The Dawn of Everything," then the their own text contradicts their proposition, inasmuch as the proposition calls me wrong,...
Absolutely. Police in uniforms may have not been involved, but tribal discipline was enforced. Same thing. The libertarian concept ignores two facts: ...
The futility of bringing back banned members has been demonstrated. A NUMBER of banned members come back with a different identity (all they need is a...
I wouldn't mind reinstatement after a banning, except of course for Bartricks whom I hated from the bottom of my heart. Then again, why would we want ...
I agree with everybody. In his last appearance, in the thread "greatness" he SURPRISINGLY made sound arguments, and consistenty logical lines of reaso...
Sorry. Yes, I guess I am inflexible because I can get out of my mind and am capable of understanding more diverse behaviour patterns. You, on the othe...
Well... the author creates the works. How can you seperate "author who never finishes his works" from the author? It is incredibly about the author. N...
I am not a moderator or any sort of official on the premises but I observed the following. Furthermore, I never saw your post, so the following discou...
"In most cases..." yes, but there are the exceptions, if the cases you talk about are "most", and not "all". I don't know... you seem to attribute a l...
No, it does not. Where did you get that? Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most prolific creators of all times, had been criticised by Michelangelo for no...
Ayyayyayy. You can't place a guilt trip on an artist who is placing a guilt trip on you. In other words, please allow people their individuality, and ...
He had fully intended to. Waste of time? No. The creative process is fun, and at times therapeutical. Why destroy the works if they are great? 1. The ...
Thanks for correcting me. Maybe I was mislead by your wording... you said you "thought" this or that. Whereas you KNEW this or that. You'd seen the ch...
And there are an untold number of artists and writers who burn their work before they die. You don't hear of them, you don't see their works, but they...
What's with the Biblical referencing? "I demand a more significant place in the annals of history. It were me and Hanover who originally gave speeches...
This describes the same thing as what you observed Baden is writing: you THINK many do this or that, but you can't count them or establish a proportio...
There are people who need approval to recognize their own worth, and there are people who do not need that. This is a given personality trait, which y...
Yes, I am sorry this is not a perfect world, too. And the reason they don't reach their inner potential is not their inner turmoil, but a fiercely com...
I believe that. But to blame the lifestyle of nearly half of the entire globe and the society that supports that structure and lifestyle, because you ...
