Evidently I’m one of the few people that took the sites rules about respect seriously. I’m really done with you trolls for today and I’m not taking yo...

Well first I’d just like to know where exactly you heard that Jesus said Morality is often for show? Where is that written exactly? Forget the bird ex...

Isn’t generally saying “things” making this a bit too general? I don’t really think it is a case of we should only feel optimistic and we should alway...

Why do they approve of those things?

actually yeah I think you’re right my bad. I mean, the second line is still a fallacy. If the first line responder had said something like “you should...

My favourite is the fallacy fallacy haha assuming that because an argument contains a logical fallacy the conclusion must be wrong. Lava is hot becaus...

This is pretty raw and real.. Are you okay? Nobody is saying, this time it will be different. At least I’m not, there will always be a next fight to m...
October 29, 2019 at 14:12
That’s awful! Are you safe right now? I think we need to maybe have conversations about where people can definitely not survive climate change and tha...

I need to remember that more often! Keep getting taken in by these trolls and engaging with them the way I would anyone else. Drawbacks of egalitarian...

An interesting perspective. So for this we will hypothetically say that you are my teacher. Which I actually do identify you as because I don’t believ...

Forming ethical ideas and law IS a form of responsive social activity though? Morality and ethics is largely the study of value theory. Unless I meet ...

Should Trump supporters be treated like addicts? That’s not to say lock them up in rehab or anything like that; just that maybe we should reframe how ...
October 29, 2019 at 12:28
Agreed
October 29, 2019 at 11:24
I get what you mean, however is being right the same as being perfect? Also, I’d agree that one does not need to be known to be respectable. Let’s tak...
October 29, 2019 at 11:17
Okay. I’d argue that all humility, faux or otherwise comes from insecurity. However we shouldn’t be saying insecurity like it’s a bad thing as I hones...

Don't leave! I enjoy having you here that’s for sure.
October 29, 2019 at 02:34
I agree. Materialism got us here in the first place. I’d be happy living in a society with just the running water and small amounts of renewable energ...

I think waiting patiently is an excellent thing to bring up as an example of when not acting may lead to a better outcome. Although I think the potent...

I have to say Pfhorrest, this is an impressive and formidable piece of writing! It makes a lot of sense to me. I’m gonna have to cite you in my work! ...
October 28, 2019 at 23:46
Yeah the term dominate leaves a dirty taste in ones mouth. Enlighten is an ego trap, convince and persuade are probably the more neutral terms. Howeve...
October 28, 2019 at 21:18
Wow. This is extremely helpful! I need to do more research on trolls, my fiancé is the troll slayer in our family hahaha

@"uncanni" probably addiction. I can get caught up in dominating if I feel like the other person is trying to compete instead of collaborate. But I’d ...

I have a Step-son and me and my partner are trying for our own. You’re not the only parent here for sure. Also Congrats on the Grandkids!
October 28, 2019 at 18:51
Oh like climate change and global warming? So girls schools yes? The continuation of our species no?
October 28, 2019 at 18:25
Tonight’s homework for you, should be learning the difference between metaphor, simile, analogy, cognitive dissonance and projection. ;) Also, if good...

This is exactly what I mean about pedestaling. While you’ve been going on and on about the west (like it’s a monolith) that knows very little hardship...

My counter, The universe is a fight for balance and equilibrium.
October 28, 2019 at 17:31
it’s a metaphor not an analogy. Wilful Ignorance, apathy and absolutism are forms of pure evil in my eyes.

I agree that black and white thinking should be frowned upon. However, is that the same as saying black and white don’t exist on a morality spectrum? ...
