I'm not following you on that. Are you saying that the social contract as found in Christian philosophy/Judeo Christian old testament wisdom books is ...

For some human thinkers, something can only be true or false if it is open to verification, at least in theory if not also in practice. The truth of s...

Consider the words 'in God we trust' on American currency. What does that mean to you? Example: if one say's that Christian philosophy (i.e.; OT/Wisdo...

Unless I'm missing something, there's really no debate or question as to, formal logic= a priori. But in the context of your OP, accordingly, some cra...
January 02, 2020 at 16:39
Traditionally, the short answer has been, no. And that is because formal logic concerns itself with purely the meaning of words (themselves) a priori....

I satisfied my curiosity this past summer and checked off a bucket list item by going to a nudist colony; does that count!? I did it as a thought expe...

Please feel free to share my inconsistencies... ? I'm happy to stand corrected.
December 21, 2019 at 15:29
Your argument is like saying vigilantism. should be endorsed and made legal. In other words, you don't care about the means, just the end. Try that wo...

No he can't, if it's not in his employer's dress code job description. Otherwise it's common sense- reasonableness as to the appropriateness. The dude...

Matt Taylor probably works as a public official. And, even if he wasn't a public official, he is in the public eye by virtue of his position. You shou...

Great question! I'm not exactly sure, but part of it is Metaphysical. I realize you're an Atheist; do Metaphysical things exist to you? Otherwise, say...
December 20, 2019 at 18:31
Ignoring the question won't make it go away. Your credibility is lacking for two reasons: 1. You won't provide public policy/supporting data about you...
December 20, 2019 at 17:24
Sorry you need to put your big boy pants on because I'm going to call you out when I see hypocrisy. So are you saying you are unable to answer the que...

You support Trump right? Or, in the alternative, if you disagree with him, tell us why...
December 20, 2019 at 17:06
For political reasons you support denial of climate change science. Correct?
December 20, 2019 at 17:02
Please tell me where I'm wrong in my analysis of your hypocrisy... ?
December 20, 2019 at 16:57
Is that all you got? I'm waiting for you to reconcile your paradox that you put yourself into... . Let us know when you're brave enough to work yourse...
December 20, 2019 at 16:46
I agree. But his political support/views of science suggest otherwise. Meaning, his lack of consistent credibility has greatly diminished the impact o...

Does History exist?
December 20, 2019 at 16:05
Then why does he support someone who politicizes climate change science? Isn't that hypocritical...

Please tell me where I'm wrong in my analysis of your hypocrisy... ?
December 20, 2019 at 01:17
Interesting. Trump politically denies climate change. You're a Trumper. Aren't you being a hypocrite? You appear to be hypocritical in your exaggerate...
December 19, 2019 at 23:04
Unless I'm missing something, I think you are making it too complicated. Seems like you're arguing under the guise of a simple rant about political co...
December 19, 2019 at 14:01
So if you're trying to argue a paradigm shift then make your case? Provide supporting data relative to employment job descriptions, dress codes, analo...
December 19, 2019 at 00:07
Yep. It's not politically correct to do so. It's common sense. Would you like me to repost my justification? Otherwise you have not provided any justi...
December 18, 2019 at 23:55
I'm arguing the first part of your logic. This isn't about emotion as you're suggesting. My argument is central to your outcome or consequences of sai...
December 18, 2019 at 23:35
And so you would tell your children that correct? And as a policy maker you would endorse all those under you to wear a sexually-charged t-shirt in a ...
December 18, 2019 at 23:27
Gosh I'm still confused. You said among other things: 1. " We can simply tell them what they should wear". 2. " ... what people expect them to wear". ...
December 18, 2019 at 23:18
I will discuss the second part of the topic no problem. But the first part I'm confused with your logic. On the one hand you're saying you would not e...

So are you conceding that the astronomer's sexually charged t-shirt was inappropriate for the venue?
December 18, 2019 at 22:44
You evaded the question let me rephrase it. Would you tell your children that it is appropriate for any president to wear a sexually-charged t-shirt a...
December 18, 2019 at 22:39
Okay let's take it to the next level how would you defend that in the face of your children watching TV when the president of the United States wears ...
December 18, 2019 at 21:43
Okay should the president of the United States wear a wife beater tank top and a public speaking event?
December 18, 2019 at 21:38
let me get this straight are you saying wearing sexually-charged attire is appropriate for most wedding pictures?
December 18, 2019 at 21:34
Are you saying that if a woman wore trousers with sexually charged graphics that that would be appropriate?
December 18, 2019 at 21:08
You didn't read what I wrote. It was inappropriate for the venue. Assuming you're married and maybe have kids. What if your daughter got married and t...
December 18, 2019 at 20:32
Dude, it has nothing to do with morality. It is political correctness. Do you get that?

December 18, 2019 at 16:10
Yep!
December 18, 2019 at 16:04
Banno, how would you propose correcting the misspoken-ness?
December 18, 2019 at 16:03
...you mean like 'intuition'? He discussed that also........
December 17, 2019 at 16:55
I agree. Pragmatically, if I could get all the nutritional value from plants, I would go in that direction myself. Otherwise the concern of course is ...
