I know that is your interpretation, however, High Crimes and Misdemeanors is simply that, a constitutional interpretation. Accordingly, abuse of power...

As a Christian Existentialist myself, it is indeed refreshing to see a man of faith having the courage to speak the truth. (This is what the GOP used ...

Of course, free will relates to causation/ex-nihilo, contingency, randomness, indeterminacy, and so forth, in the natural physical world. However, con...

Hi Nonsense! You may want to start from the beginning of the thread. For example, you'll see instances of misogyny and other nefarious behavior. Pains...

Hi NA! Gosh, there's so much information to unpack... If it's okay with you let's take one question at a time and then perhaps we can build something ...

The QM and Free Will illusion : https://youtu.be/geKoGh7w_HA
February 06, 2020 at 21:19
First, can we agree on a few items: 1. Free will: a source totally detached from matter (detached from nature) which is the origin (cause) of options,...

It was only until Dumpertrumper found out that Biden was leading in the polls when he decided to withhold funds from Ukraine. Do you have a conscience...
February 06, 2020 at 17:48
That's not what Sondland and Taylor said. And speaking of lying, was Dumpertrumper lying again when he said he didn't know Parnus, or was the audio ta...
February 06, 2020 at 17:20
So did Romney. ( You're not too consistent there LOL.) Yep so would I. Why didn't he go through the Government agencies to investigate and/or hired a ...
February 06, 2020 at 17:06
Would you want another President to do what your Dumpertrumper did? Oh, and why did 75% of the general public want witnesses? Are they wrong too?
February 06, 2020 at 17:00
Yes I did. Are you not able to answer the question? LOL And thanks...why was he wrong? Boner question: why did 75% of the general public want witnesse...
February 06, 2020 at 16:54
It didn’t even slow him down, and he was able to pass massive trade deals while your legislators legislated nothing. Wrong! It was a bipartisan bill b...
February 06, 2020 at 16:48
Sure, agreed. However, if one were to treat like cases likely, and different cases differently (by positing some reasonableness here), one would say t...
February 06, 2020 at 15:29
I might be able to speak to some of Frank's concerns there. Much like Einstein taught us, there are many atheists who have a systemic axe to grind, an...
February 06, 2020 at 00:03
Yep Mitt was very inspirational and has certainly gained my respect (and other's) for his courage. Dumpertrumper's narcissism will cause incessant cri...
February 05, 2020 at 23:52
Hi JD! I'm not real clear on the question, other than any proposition or judgment represents some form of belief/system. And in this specific case, th...
February 05, 2020 at 23:30
Hi NA! Thank you kindly for your critique. Let me try to enumerate your arguments or concerns first, so I can clearly understand them and then respond...
February 05, 2020 at 23:09
Yep, our work is done here! LOL
February 05, 2020 at 20:43
Hi Frank! I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but thought that the quoted definition was intriguing. Having a belief that no Gods exist translat...
February 05, 2020 at 19:43
I'm afraid it's the opposite. He can't be trusted and so we are all having to fact-check the dude.
February 05, 2020 at 16:49
Yep, don't forget to add that all administration's either benefit or suffer from the previous administration's economic policies, etc.. Much like the ...
February 05, 2020 at 16:43
I think I know where you are going with that. It reminds me a little of the so-called cosmic computer theory. Consider briefly, that life is a compute...
February 05, 2020 at 16:14
Hi Possibility! I don't understand why you are not able to respond to my questions about homeostasis. You are too intuitive for that. Respectfully, is...
February 05, 2020 at 14:59
Hey TMF, did this ever get resolved? (I too believe it's an illusion using the cosmic computer metaphor, and consequences of same being temporal and n...
February 04, 2020 at 19:41
Oh, okay. I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Are you saying that prehistoric man only decides to kill a buffalo to eat because of its brown color? Wh...
February 04, 2020 at 15:31
Thank you Possibility! I will definitely check-out the theory you mentioned, and report back my interpretation. And I certainly get where you are comi...
February 04, 2020 at 15:04
Can you answer any of those questions?
February 04, 2020 at 14:33
Hi Zelebg! Could you give me the pragmatic's of that? (Or if you care to, maybe succinctly try to answer one of my questions if it all possible... .)
February 04, 2020 at 14:04
I need to study a little more of Darwin I think. Not to sound too rhetorical, any thoughts on what Darwin might say about the following: 1. How do eme...
February 04, 2020 at 01:34
I agree, I think both are intriguing questions no doubt. One question is, in a sense, logically necessary, while the other seems to be an ancillary fe...
February 03, 2020 at 21:01
Hi Possibility! I can certainly appreciate the dynamic associated with our learned responses from environmental stimulus or conditions. And completely...
February 03, 2020 at 15:57
When we ask about the nature of a thing, we're not asking about our mental reconstruction of that thing, but the thing in itself. Our knowledge/consci...
February 03, 2020 at 14:07
Sure but keep in mind we're not talkin anything extraordinarily prevalent there. For instance architects an interior designers look to the theoretical...

The existential mystery of who, what, where, how and why one chooses a particular color over another is yet another example of the existence over esse...
February 02, 2020 at 21:56
Sure it's kind of like saying do other metaphysical languages exist in all or other possible world's. The emotive phenomenon of color choice, may or m...
February 01, 2020 at 12:43
It begs many questions one of which is how do you provide a deterrent to that abuse of power (?)
February 01, 2020 at 12:17
Don't worry Tim, the real truth will show itself and become abundantly clear. They will not acquiesce to impeachment but they will certainly acquiesce...
February 01, 2020 at 02:00
I apologize I didn't read through all of the responses because I'm sure there are some good ones... . I don't think the question is whether colors exi...
February 01, 2020 at 01:49
Yep they're taking the risk of weighing the differences between POTUS' criticism, vs their constituents criticism. It appears they're choosing the les...
January 31, 2020 at 23:59
Though this may be painfully obvious I am willing to go out on a limb and predict the following: 1 . Over seventy percent of Americans wanted witnesse...
January 31, 2020 at 23:33
Bonus question : how come the president changed his mind about witnesses didn't he want to see witnesses? Or was he lying again... LOL
January 31, 2020 at 21:31
Yep, it's obvious common sense stuff. The Republicans are like Ostrich's; they've buried their heads in the sand only to complain it's too dark! LOL
January 31, 2020 at 20:57
Oh, yeah, Thanks. I think he was the guy who flip-flopped on his interpretation of 'abuse of power' during the Clinton era(?)
January 31, 2020 at 20:53
If you were a lawyer, would you have represented OJ and Epstein? f you don't think he's hiding anything, then why resist witnesses, subpoenas, intimid...
January 31, 2020 at 20:51
...and does 'the will of the people', include Republicans who condone cheating? Yikes! Christianity Today final saw the light! LOL
January 31, 2020 at 20:33
He and Dershowitz should team up. The Blunder Twins. Ha, yeah wasn't Dershowitz the guy who represented Jeffery Epstein, OJ Simpson, and other nefario...
January 31, 2020 at 20:27
I think it is the same 'tactical admission' of precluding witnesses! LOL
January 31, 2020 at 20:22
Hanover, I find that odd. If you don't think he's hiding anything, then why resist witnesses, subpoenas, intimidating Gov employees, witnesses and sen...
January 31, 2020 at 19:13
Hi Possibility! Do you have any examples of that?
