Fair deuce. You're a slashie, like me. You're a dog slash cat owner. I don't own a cat, but housemate does and he stays inside, because we know how to...

Then get a dog.

I use vegetable compost anyway, but there is a higher risk of contamination due to parasites like toxoplasmosis and it also contains much higher amoun...

Chicken poop. Cow poop. Hell, even horse poop. But not cat poop.
December 22, 2017 at 11:05
I hate cat owners like you. Keep your cat domesticated rather than roaming into my garden and crapping some straight-up poisonous poop all over my veg...

The Kardashians may be humanoid but they are not human, surely. How dare you. TOS and TNG are both awesome and they differ entirely from the others pr...

The Cardassians are a reptilian, purpley/bluish in hue, selfish and evil species that joined forces with the Dominion (the creepy, gooey non-people, p...

Merry Summer!

Yeah, merry chissmyass to you too.

What do you think? I missed the bus, you see. Probably not as dark and frightfully disturbing as your work. /uploads/resized/files/aw/m85eqbecp1bi138g...

There is no definitive proof considering the question of axiology as there is a balance between the benefits and the harms of procreation and no one c...

You said: And I responded with: So, how you got: Is rather awkward. Thus, your cheerful anti-natalist concept is unnecessary; if goodness and evil are...

Dude, I'm a 3 star Michelin cook. Farmers market then back to my place.

I take care of myself, old horse.

Well, we'll meet in France, have lunch and go visit the Mona Lisa together. I take it that I am your favourite TPF poster?
December 21, 2017 at 04:32
I will probably stay out of that argument. I have apparently been 'working' all day. I love that no one can see my computer screen. "TL, you are so fo...

Isn't a lute-playing cherub a kind-of bird?
December 21, 2017 at 04:18
It really depends on your justification for celibacy, but I assume it attracts in similar vein to your original rejection of anti-natalism the same se...
December 21, 2017 at 03:58
Forgive me, but are you not pro-celibacy? I should think that to be self-refuting, which just makes the logic of your entire argument problematic.
December 21, 2017 at 03:26
You are looking at the subject in a counterfactual way because it is not grounded in the child, but the parents giving birth to the child. Indeed, the...
December 21, 2017 at 03:04
It does not make me wrong in thinking that something is wrong with people or a person where there is an absence of love. You cannot assume your opinio...

I didn't say that one out loud. But, as you say, an event of conspicuous consumption but also plain and simply mindlessly showing off (sorry @"T Clark...

Whilst I appreciate that you point out aspects to content that ultimately draw focus away from the overall argument - whether intentional or not - I t...

The reaction was not as bad as when I said the same to someone who spent that much on a wedding.

Let haters be haters.
December 21, 2017 at 00:46
That was the lamest moment ever. I remember my neck went all red.
December 21, 2017 at 00:44
Pretty arrogant of you not to explain why a relationship based solely on sexual pleasure and economics is morally good.
December 21, 2017 at 00:39
So do we, apparently. /uploads/resized/files/fe/0ho26gkcx9q7llb4.gif
December 20, 2017 at 23:11
It took you long enough to figure out.
December 20, 2017 at 23:00
I do not revile your opinions, but I must say this in advance of my dissection of your argument as I take it that there is a slight stab in my directi...

The mutual love between two people and the desire to build a life together, a real desire and not some superficial one, is this family planning. The m...

If there is pain and suffering, liars, thieves and knaves that prey on the kind, loving an innocent then there will always be purpose; find a way of e...

Do you believe it to be 'total rubbish' that knowledge is merely justified belief? I am not going to deny that this is a particularly complex question...

So, in essence, you are claiming that there is no necessary duty for you to uphold because you are assuming it to be some teleological moral claim whe...

It is impossible to have no beliefs: an atheist still has a belief that nothing exists. Unless you do not have the cognitive capacity to retain an opi...

So, you agree then, when I said that we can improve by becoming conscious of what these beliefs are and to formulate our own?
December 17, 2017 at 11:32
Do you believe that?
December 17, 2017 at 11:29
There is no universal prescription because I could understand that though you stole from me, you were stealing because you are hungry that renders fur...

There should never be a conversation that involves a wet marsupial. Never.

Hence why I said it is the lack empathy that enables a person to steal without consideration or compassion to the person you are stealing from. This i...
