Speak for yourself. I tell everyone my name is Bob.

There is no real definitive answer as to what consciousness exactly is and whether the mind is material or non-physical and even if there is a dualism...

You people disgust me.
January 05, 2018 at 08:11
Like that guy at the gym who I used to work with, I have noticed a similar trend with Hanover and that is that while he acts all macho, talking about ...

There is this guy I used to work with who I see occasionally at the shops or the gym, and he does this thing where he pretends not to see me, but you ...

There is no escaping determinism except through consciousness (transcendence) where we have the capacity to become aware of ourselves, our person-hood...

Does your uncle also have hair like ribbons of corn, with peachy skin perfumed with the scent of cow?

Yee haww?

Yes, narcissism is about helping kids and baking cookies. *facepalm
January 05, 2018 at 00:23
That is a close one given my fruit addiction. Clingstone peaches. But, I would do anything for a bowl of these delectable, delightful, deliciously swe...

Here, this may help you perfect the art of your projection. I bet someone has called you a narcissist and now you are doing that to others.
January 05, 2018 at 00:02
Oh my, was that a question? And here I was thinking it was a moronic projection.

Come to lick the boots of Agu?

You silly little sausage you. A personality is fluid, flexible, unique because of its openness, spontaneity and understanding of others. That is why i...

On a side note. Two words. Tasmanian Cherries. That is all.

I guess its not your fault you were unfortunately born without a personality. Anyhoot, off to the gym!
January 04, 2018 at 21:33
You are deceiving yourself by thinking that. Sure, there is an uncertainty in the longevity of any relationship, but that is only if you are idiotic e...
January 04, 2018 at 20:34
I think that if you are suspicious or concerned that your girlfriend is cheating on you, you are already in a terrible predicament. Imagine living wit...
January 04, 2018 at 19:58
And @"Bitter Crank" thinks that I have a problem. Codswallop. If you asked your girlfriend whether she had cheated on you, the first thing she is goin...

This is oddly logical.
January 04, 2018 at 06:00
I had my suspicions. That is a totally different arrangement because there is no dependency on trust as one would have in an intimate relationship. Yo...
January 03, 2018 at 09:49
If one wants to know whether their girlfriend cheated on them, all they need to do is ask. You can always tell from the response someone gives you, or...

Good luck man!
January 02, 2018 at 11:14
This is fantastic and you are already setting the cultural foundation by being conscious of this, hopefully not merely for your own protection but for...

People are assholes but that lady sounds psychotic. It was clear that she desired power and she selectively chose a kind and vulnerable person that sh...
January 02, 2018 at 07:19
Yeah, our conversation is coming to an end, methinks. I did try.
January 02, 2018 at 07:01
I was merely being reciprocal, though I will ensure that I avoid this should the rage of 500,000 scoville heat units be ignited. While abandoning my w...
January 02, 2018 at 06:59
That is why we have the categorical imperative, universal moral laws that are supreme to our autonomy, pretty much a beefed up version of the Golden R...
January 02, 2018 at 06:33
Your moral worthiness is yours. By transcending society or through transcendental freedom, you enable the primacy of autonomy and free-will where you ...

How is it nihilistic?
January 02, 2018 at 05:48
The grounds for my belief in my own virtue. It is easy to follow a system or image and show the world that we are good people because we are obedient,...
January 02, 2018 at 05:40
Think about how you may feel if you were told that a person you know has been cheated on; that information instantly places you into an uncomfortable ...
January 02, 2018 at 05:08
I think the reason why this guy is aggressive and frustrated as a person is because he is making a considerable effort and sacrifice for his girlfrien...
January 02, 2018 at 04:14
I recently gave money to a man who was standing barefoot and completely filthy talking on a public telephone, likely to no one, and I was motivated to...
January 02, 2018 at 03:54
As an authority of myself, I know that I am not. I thrive in the brutality of honesty and have no patience for someone who is projecting his own disap...
January 02, 2018 at 03:40
No, it is not that. I asked to be a moderator, I am not averse to getting what I want and what I am right now is what I want. What bothers me is the p...
January 02, 2018 at 03:09
Moral question just going on the above, @"T Clark" you may be able to help. There was this guy that once was not so nice to me and though I have forgi...
January 02, 2018 at 02:33
Just focus on the more joyful or interesting things, like this. I wonder what happened!
January 02, 2018 at 02:10
Because there are so many factors to consider. I would think that while responsibility remains, it could be transferred over to the 'device' and imagi...
January 02, 2018 at 01:50
This leads to defining the difference between probabilities and possibilities, the former aligned with this direct course that you speak of and unfort...

Jones could have done something otherwise and so while the decision may have been changed by this device, it does not challenge in any way the possibi...
January 01, 2018 at 20:07
The issue here is that determinism contains no 'before' that leads to a choice, no prior chain or contingent possibilities and so by abandoning this c...
January 01, 2018 at 19:50
I am not sure what you are trying to say here. Can you please explain this a bit further? You should also consider the difference between responsibili...

Did you make yourself giggle?
January 01, 2018 at 11:13
Smart ass.
January 01, 2018 at 11:12
You are committing some serious ignoratio elench here. This example bears no relevance to how one can misconstrue you having a wife by saying: "Say my...
January 01, 2018 at 11:11
It is ambiguous, but I gather you meant it as a shortened version of "what would you say if" - but in light of this ambiguity, I interpreted that your...

No, the issue was you hasty generalising.

Memories. So many. So damn many. :’(
