That is what everyone wants, but the process or steps that you are taking to reach that goal are actually superficial; your body is not "awakening" bu...

The train is imaginary. It is a ghost train.

Dang it, I have been trying to translate a Sezen Aksu song for ages to no avail; we could have worked on it together until you decided to forget every...

Hi JustSomeGuy, welcome. Ideology can sometimes be viewed as an unsavoury misrepresentation of reality and given the ambiguity, I will assume it to me...

It is that intrinsic moral motivation that you have that matters, the authenticity and rationale behind the judgements that you make. You could be mot...

Depends on the judicial system but here in Australia - as mentioned - we strictly observe the separation of powers between the judicial, legislature a...

Actually, statutory interpretation applies the principle in common law that enables judges to consider whether meaning in statutes are actually adequa...

I think music is supposed to make learning a new language enjoyable and like what Benkei mentioned about writing words to make it stick, music and the...

Music. It helped fast-track my understanding of a new language by learning the lyrics to songs. That's right. Swirl those hips with Enrique Iglesias.
December 15, 2017 at 07:05
If you want some specificity in the details, you could also look into the Donatist schism and the concept of purity in the church with Augustine' atte...

Good point, Inter Alia. My intent in showcasing those huge and indeed as you say disgraceful disparities in wealth is perhaps aligned more with politi...
December 14, 2017 at 22:54
Without sounding suspiciously debauch, but what does this connection or 'feel' look like, exactly? Is it that isolated condition from nature that we f...

You may do that to yourself, but if at that time your friend told you that you were a failure and that you suck at the subject etc, I doubt that you w...
December 14, 2017 at 03:01
This is as awkward as watching someone vomit; is it funny or is it disturbing? Nevertheless, I must say that you are indeed correct about hubris but i...

I personally believe that we begin to understand 'love' as an application or process through empathy or the love that we have for others as this contr...

This is the Golden Rule and it originated from the Hebrew Bible: “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love you...
December 14, 2017 at 00:12
I must disagree with this. I should first like to say, though, that it is good to have you here and a well-written post that I thoroughly enjoyed. I a...

I was about to say foundationalism instead of dogma until @"Thorongil" aptly mentioned this, but probably take it one step further in that relativism ...
December 13, 2017 at 19:15
I am finding it difficult to ascertain what angle you are framing your argument and while I agree with you, you appear to reference that we are indivi...

The question is really aligned with why - despite the sexual liberation - does sexual assault or discrimination continue and the reasoning behind that...

Sure, pick the cute breed. Saps cat appears to be a cross Bombay slash the spawn of Satan who was dumped by his feral mother in a back alley near the ...
December 12, 2017 at 21:25
Wrong. Do we really need to start a discussion on feline aesthetics?
December 12, 2017 at 18:12
To try and keep this in line with the OP, I guess I am not surprised considering you think the brain is like an 'analog system' which leads me to thin...
December 12, 2017 at 18:07
If you can explicate why this is "pure rubbish" then you may just answer the OP' concern. While I never stated that the hard problem of consciousness ...

I don't want to confuse you or anything, but why make this about you? And, yes.

And I was like 'I'm not a dark sinner' - on my list, although did you mean The Sinner with Jessica Beil?
December 11, 2017 at 13:50
This is probably the most logical thing I have heard anyone say today.

Are they even socialistic countries? A free market economy is not socialist, so the Nordic model is debatable.

Hey Sophie, welcome. To be objective is to possess a type of consciousness, and as a moral agent you are directing the subjective and applying or exer...

I am not like you. You tell people to "fuck off" after espousing love and Christian mysticism that perhaps verifies advocates of mysticism have issues...

Blimey, I thought that only women get menstrual cycles. And, yes. Did you update the page?

What?
December 11, 2017 at 10:00
Indeed, only problem is trying to do this with morons. I think I now get why Sap is so fiery.

Wow. Nice, peaceful mystic you are.

Legend. (Y) Save me from the effort of explaining my frustration.
