Okay, so I'm not wrong. Here is the new thread in question. Care to provide any answers?
December 03, 2017 at 22:51
You say the Feedback category can be used to complain. I posted in a thread located in the Feedback category. I see no rule about bumping an older thr...

I think "seriousness" could refer to what we believe and how we act. If these have no transcendent significance, as it were, then there is no reason n...
December 03, 2017 at 17:52
But we can gain some intimation of that by looking at God's purported revelation. I still don't know exactly what you're packing into the word "belief...
December 03, 2017 at 17:48
Not sure where to post this, but I wanted to express my disapproval at TL becoming a mod, for whatever it's worth (which is likely nothing, I'm aware)...

What do you make of Wittgenstein's remark: "if what we do now is to make no difference in the end, then all the seriousness of life is done away with....
November 30, 2017 at 05:04
Eh? This very much depends on the sort of God you have in mind. The Christian God, whom Buxte has spoken of, is thought to be most fully revealed in t...
November 30, 2017 at 05:01
Not to sound too sharp, but I think this is a cliche with little basis in fact. Christians have used this expression as well. This may be the problem....

Therein lies the rub with universalism.
November 30, 2017 at 04:48
I think this should be "whom." I have orders to report such things by the grammar Nazi high command.
November 30, 2017 at 04:46
I would say so. You might, but I should think you would want to explore all the baskets instead of just arbitrarily halting at the position you curren...
November 30, 2017 at 04:42
But doesn't Abrahamic anthropology affirm that man is intrinsically good? He is corrupted, fallen, but still good, inasmuch as he exists at all, since...
November 30, 2017 at 04:26
Keep in mind that in Indian religion, it is precisely the karmic treadmill, known as samsara, that one endeavors to liberate oneself from. Having any ...

>:O (Y)
November 26, 2017 at 18:49
That happens to be one of my reasons as well. What do you know. It's still there. Paiging @"Michael" and @"Baden".
November 26, 2017 at 17:59
Settle down. I never considered you a part of our side, for you have consistently referred to us as Buxte's "cohort," thus making it clear what angle ...
November 26, 2017 at 04:35
No. I'm going to bed. I'll let Lone Wolf speak for herself. I also wonder if your GIF will be deleted when I check the forum tomorrow, as the one I po...
November 26, 2017 at 04:32
See Lone Wolf's excellent post for the thesis our side has been making.
November 26, 2017 at 04:25
Look at all the statistics marshaled to dispute a claim no one made.
November 26, 2017 at 04:24
Don't forget pseudo-man and pathologically repressed asshole.
November 26, 2017 at 04:23
One side makes thoughtful posts, the other strawmans and hurls epithets like "asshole" and "shithead."
November 26, 2017 at 04:19
A very well and thoughtfully stated post.
November 26, 2017 at 04:14
You are strawmanning Buxte, as he never said what you attribute to him here, and T Clark is exactly right to call you out for your white knight preten...

The above conversation highlights the tension in certain minds between supporting, on the one hand, female autonomy and opposing female objectificatio...
November 25, 2017 at 06:39
You make it seem so dramatic. I didn't do it all that often. But tell me, does self-denial or the disciplining of the body and its appetites of any ki...

Today I learned that The Philosophy Forum, The Philosophy Forum never changes.
November 25, 2017 at 03:37
I saw the urban dictionary link when I Googled it.
November 25, 2017 at 03:28
From mongoloid pseudo-man to female crab, I'm apparently anything but human.
November 25, 2017 at 03:20
You're not as funny as you think you are.
November 25, 2017 at 03:13
"Lol." That you equate "attractive" with "revealing dress" says it all.
November 25, 2017 at 02:51
Does no one read before accusing? I said not long ago: "I don't think all women behave the way in which I described. But many of them do."
November 25, 2017 at 02:44
Right, so what about the racist slur of your mod pal, eh?
November 25, 2017 at 02:23
>:O I want to believe you're being facetious. I really do, but I doubt you are.
November 25, 2017 at 02:20
I don't see anyone doing that. Good grief.
November 25, 2017 at 02:18
This is to equate health with immorality. I'm trying to argue against the objectification of women, which is wrong. Calling me a "mongoloid pseudo-man...
November 25, 2017 at 02:12
Start here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/125929#Post_125929 I never said anything about the way a person dresses being a sin per ...
November 25, 2017 at 02:03
Yeah, it must just be my imagination. All women in reality dress like the nuns in that video I linked to you. I just have my patented rapist goggles o...
November 24, 2017 at 22:27
You could try reading the post again and those before it. It depends. They provide the occasion for sin, as it were, but I then have the choice of ind...
November 24, 2017 at 22:19
No, it wasn't. You need demonstration of the fact that some women dress in a sexually provocative manner? Really? Please stop playing dumb. What the h...
November 24, 2017 at 21:25
Nothing you said was reciprocal. I pointed out a demonstrable fact, which you have simply strawmanned by pretending I was talking about women as a gen...
November 24, 2017 at 20:50
I see. Well, I've not interacted all that much with her.
November 24, 2017 at 18:58
I'm still rather stunned that she had the audacity to make such a comment.
November 24, 2017 at 18:56
A needlessly foul and inflammatory remark.
November 24, 2017 at 18:46
Oh lord, what's not wrong with it these days? That would require a post I don't have the time to compose at present. If you Google your question, you ...
November 22, 2017 at 21:46
Not to rain on your parade, but this is very much to be doubted. For one thing, will you have to take out student loans to complete the degree?
November 22, 2017 at 17:11
So you don't disagree.
November 22, 2017 at 17:07
Where is that? A flat somewhere in the communist part of England?
November 22, 2017 at 16:57
I'll take a look, thanks.
November 21, 2017 at 05:14
Really? Men pick up all the garbage, construct all the buildings, fix all the buildings, fight all the fires, mine all the coal, fight all the wars, l...
