Thank you for listing your counter-arguments here. I appreciate that. Now please read my counter-arguments to your counter-arguments. Not any. There c...

So you are saying that free speech should be free but not free. Furthermore you are saying that free speech is actually not free speech. I am sorry, b...

There is no need for that. Either you are disruptive, or else insane. I am satisfied that either of these two is the reason behind your verbiage. I do...

Including what? Wit? Wot. <- antidote for wit.

I think you just need to sit and wait to find that out. BTW, I liked two or three of the stories better than mine the last time. They were well-rounde...

I think Qmeri wants us to discuss how people talk about reality. (As per above quote.) He, however, would prefer that we only talk about HOW people ta...

Or where the boss is the sole proprietor of the concern. I don't think it's in the wording, Sch. It's the concept itself that does not fit the mold of...

Well, that's how people talk about equality (your topic): what typifies equality or the lack of it. If you insist that we talk about how people talk a...

My sentiments exactly. But working hard does not quite fit into the same dilemma mold. It would be an okay world if everyone worked hard; but it could...

I think your logic is sound, but do your support arguments invoke CI? CI is something to the effect that you should only do something that you'd have ...

If we were not forced to stay incognito and use avatars, then we could find out. Then again, under those circumstances I would have long been hunted d...

Sorry, I missed the counter arguments you say you'd stated. I'll revisit this tomorrow or later tonight. I'm really curious to see those arguments you...

Yes, this has been the status quo for millennia now.

It's not their fault, basically... we would be angered by another form of atheism, if there were any, that were different from our form of atheism. It...

No it has not. Just because you say so it does not make it true. Maybe you believe that, and kudos to you, I'm happy for you. But in logical grounds i...

Sorry, I changed my post while you were making your response. Yes, the response you quoted from me is what I had written originally. Unfortunately the...
December 18, 2021 at 12:40
While you did supply a name, which I checked; it does not prove or has any logically necessarily link that speech is not free. The people you quoted w...

Anyone can fake an orgasm, but very few can fake news. I mean, believably.

I like the dilemma facing Qmeri. It is not a logical or fact-based error that Q proposes society makes. It is an error driven by commonly accepted eth...
December 17, 2021 at 10:18
I think Qmeri's point is that not all speeches are free. There is a price to pay for some speech. A certain amount of cost. Even though talk is cheap,...
