Perhaps. But I doubt if everyone owned a gun people would start shooting each other.

So injustice is beneficial so long as it suits your concerns. I cannot abide by that, myself.

I doubt I could muster enough conceit to find any desire to control your's or anyone else's life.

Then why don’t you put everyone in prison? You’ll eliminate violence entirely.

I think murderers and criminals will think twice about harming others if they know everyone is packing. So I think the world I want to live in is a pe...

That’s why utilitarianism is unjust. You’ll punish people for things they haven’t done. That is what I am going through right now. After a mass shooti...

If someone has the motive and desire to run people over they will do so. If they don’t, they won’t. The same is with guns or any other object that can...

Is this a quiz? I am entitled to my guns because I own them. I have a basic human right to defend my life, liberty, and property, and owning weapons e...

It’s unjust because they are mine, I am entitled to them, and I have done nothing to justify taking them away.

Everyone should carry a weapon as soon as they are competent enough to do so, in my opinion.

It’s unjust to ban my weapons if I didn’t shoot anyone or do not intend to.

Why can I not own a firearm if I didn’t shoot anyone or do not intend to?

It’s meant to be faulty. Guns and cars don’t just go out and start killing people. It leaves out the motives and reasons why one would pick up a gun a...

Utilitarian concerns don’t mean much to me wherever we are speaking about basic human rights. Banning cars would be unjust. Banning guns is unjust.

Sure it can. Before that it was car accidents. Maybe we should ban cars. There should be armed guards at schools in the US, perhaps even teachers, in ...

I thought the shooter was a male. I was wrong. It was indeed a female. So it is uncharacteristic after all.

Most mass shooters are male.

A transgender shooter. It might not be as uncharacteristic as we’d like to admit.

Well said. Our periphery is quite limited, so one can at least understand the indirect realist’s skepticism. The body is no doubt a mystery for any or...

The so-called directness of perception is useful only to contrast with the indirectness of perception, as it is put forward by indirect realists. It h...

It does, I’m afraid, much to the chagrin subjectivists. Their “hard problems” and other efforts are little more than an attempt to muddy the waters, p...

My guess is you need to expand your Self to the surface of your being, your skin. Note the following argument which you presented: It assumes that you...

Again, we know what is different about the color-blind man and the man who is not. These causes are biological. The “inner quality” is the biology. Wh...

Just to be precise, no, their biology is different. This conforms to the relationship and the facts of biology. The “character of their experience” is...

It’s easy to maintain direct realism with your scenario because the relationship between person and the apple is direct. X perceives Y. Working with t...

It’s not in all-caps.

The fact our eyes point outwards is something the indirect realist is unable to overcome. But the matter is simple. The contact with the rest of the w...

“What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in...

So no, it isn’t true that “Once an individual is born, they are immediately part of a society that may not fully align with their values and principle...

Did you or did you not make the assertion that a newborn is immediately part of a society that may or may not fully align with his values and principl...

The fear of you acting on them influences me, the voter.

It does matter because one’s values and principles cannot be violated upon birth if there are no values and principles. One requires life and living i...

It certainly does influence voters. It does so because people will believe you will act on your threat. Are Russian tweets and Facebook ads the unjust...

I never brought up the influence angle, but should you remain consistent, maybe you can alter my mind with your words enough so as to influence me to ...

How does a newborn come into the world with values and principles?

Perhaps given your propensity for sorcery you can move me with your words to believe the same as you do.

Again, your words are not influencing anything. My belief that you may act on your words do. Is this going completely over your head?

Threatening civil unrest lets people know your intentions, that you may become belligerent should things not go your way, and threat of this future ac...

Yeah, sorry, your words are still not influencing anything. They do not have the causal effects you pretend they do. Your words only reveal what you t...

Given the mass violence and rioting of that year, you don’t think threatening the country with more civil unrest is any kind of threat to voters?

No need to lie about this. If altering election laws in the run up to a contentious election is “democracy” and “making it easier for voters to vote”,...

What was once a form of voter fraud became legal in many states right before an election, and it worked in the current president’s favor. “Democracy”,...

Sorry, repeating “democracy” isn’t going to work. They altered laws because it would have otherwise been illegal to do what they did. If Russian tweet...

No matter the explanation they’ve told you and therefor what you’ve come to believe, and no matter how many times you try to invoke “democracy”, alter...

Oh, it’s all “making it easier for voters to vote”. The censorship, altering state laws, social media censorship all makes sense now.

Altering state voting laws in the run-up to an election, getting social media to censor opponents, and threatening businesses with an army of astrotur...

It’s by their own admission.

You didn’t mention that Trump spoke with Abdul Ghani. That’s because the propaganda you dine on doesn’t tell you these things. The propaganda tells yo...

It was election interference on a mass scale. They had astroturf protesters ready to riot should Trump have won. After the riots of that year of cours...

Trump himself has vowed to beat the democrats at their own game, and ensured us his campaign will be ballot harvesting and pushing mail-in votes. I gu...
