"The poor are struggling. We must introduce social programs." - person. "Cry me a river, liberal!" - Republicant. ??? If liberal meant rightist, this ...
PfHorrest, Why do the Republicants call the Democrats "libtards" if liberal was not associated with leftism but rightism? I am not arguing, but I don'...
Madness, insanity, can take on many forms and feelings. What you said is like saying that "if you break a bone in your body, randomly selected of all ...
"To protect our people there, we started a war with a country." Jesus, why are Americans so stupid? "In order to protect my car from your vandalism, I...
Think of the bookmakers. Death toll is a large unknown at this point. Which American city will be targeted with a nuclear warhead? I shudder to think ...
More answers by god must be atheist: 8. Some idiot forgot to send money in for the renewal of the service. 9. It's Saturday and the operators went on ...
Why we don't live in a simulation? I shall attempt to answer the question directly. 1. Because we are not lucky enough. 2. Or else because we are too ...
He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for the new world In that palace in the sun. On the shore lay Montezuma With his c...
I live outside the USA, and it seems, also outside the world, because here Liberal as a political movement means "leftist", and conservative, "rightis...
Thanks, Coben. I stand corrected, So neo-liberal is the opposite of old-school liberal. What a language! Newspeak. Each word means something and also ...
No, they would not be wrong. OT and NT helped Europeans colonize America greatly, because Christian policy enabled a practice to completely eliminate ...
I tried to read your opening post, and I can't see any point you make in an effort to establish the value and validity of social contract. You speak w...
I wonder why you called this movement "neoliberal". It's exactly the opposite to liberal ideals. You describe a movement of making the poor poorer and...
Okay, I got something out of it. If everything is red in the box, and everything is non-red in the box, that is reductio ad absurdum as long as someth...
Using words outside the meaning of dictionaries is a dangerous precedent. What if I tell you, "The cable car is in good shape, it will never fall down...
Again: for a lecturer of English or in English this very sad. In my opinion a teacher should stand out by using words in their proper meaning. By bein...
Perhaps yes, but your past still does not give you the right to alter the meanings in a way that is not commonly accepted practice or not part of the ...
When they go into the need of others, they are still begging. Not for themselves (and I never stated that the begging is always and only for the benef...
You dressed up the facts in a different clothing... you used differently slanted words to describe one of the tenets of the philosophy of science. It ...
Banno, the preceding page that has posts since the post of the above quote shows that I am not stupid, or unwilling to learn. It ought to show you the...
With the exception of miracles. Miracles are the direct effect of god circumventing the laws of the universe. Miracles can't be explained by science. ...
St. Augustine also believed that having slaves was a good thing, and having those who refused to convert to Christianity spiked on a stake or burnt al...
Yes, I guess that would be fair to say. My point is that from their behaviour nobody could guess truly what their hardwire is. Many of them were devou...
You assume too much, my friend. I did not consult a dictionary; I know the English language. What you are saying is that you go away from the commonly...
Hehe. so the holy triniti does not happen because theists don't know how to explain it. The recorded and documented 238 logical self-contradictions in...
I suggest you get the essence of the Republic by Plato. You don't have to read the entire danged book itself, just Google it. You are a brilliant mind...
Religions are codified in ancient, unchanging scripts. iPhone OS is codified in C++, and constantly updated. If religious scripts had been written in ...
Again, I agree. I think what you mean by weakness of the will is a tendency to give in to the wrong philolsophy / ideology when we are confronted with...
Yes, I do believe as well that we are moral creatures. And yes, one can live a life, an entire life, in an "as if" state. Living in an oppressive comm...
This is a highly humanocentric view of the universe. Aside from your being right at the same probability rate as your being wrong, the thing you descr...
Well, in a way he is right. All philosophies that are different from single philosophy can be lumped together. "Not X" is the lump, if the philosophy ...
I'm old enough to remember, when people took exception to women wearing pants. "Who wears the pants around the house in your house?" Then came the men...
I agree. More precisely, the universe is about corn crop futures in the nineteen-eighties, affecting oil prices in south Lebanon, which had its reverb...
So just tell god simply that you love him, or something? If you don't ask for anything, it is not a prayer. "to pray" is to beg, to ask for, to beseec...
Matter is not at all sacred for us. You pray to something sacred, or you prevent defiling it, or you speak highly of it, or you worship it. No materia...
One thing is missing: the supernatural. Materialists and atheists believe that the world operates without any supernatural power's intervention. It's ...
@"brett" Whether your philosophy is hardwired or not, you can behave and advocate as if you believed the opposite to what you are hardwired for. Behav...
I frankly don't understand your question. That's why I dodged it the first time. I meant to say that individualism and cooperetiveness are opposing fo...
