I finally got through them - people should use xylophones more often but I won't indulge in commenting until I have finished listening. I am not entir...

There aren't many people in this world that can make me feel ashamed of myself. Admittingly, I never heard of him but the one piece you posted neverth...

Have you listened to Arvo Pärt? I'm a giant fan and though I do like minimalist compositions, there is a certain technical texture that a composer nee...

I once attempted to mimic the accent to a waiter as we sat at a restaurant - "What the bleedin' hell is Osso Buco? Just get me some Tripe and Onions w...

I understand, but as an ethical question it is the action itself that matters, the intention is not essential and really only becomes applicable once ...

But professing good intentions and acting with good intentions are two very different things; even a sociopathic criminal still has the capacity to sh...

That made me laugh. I'm trying another browser tomorrow.

When you capitalise, you are attempting to convey a representation of accurate reality. If you don't know much about what morality is, then run along ...

Yes, but the lack of reciprocal admiration may itself be the impetus that motivates one to better themselves so as to attain reciprocal regard. If a p...

God is moral excellence and you are striving to God - that is, striving to Moral Excellence or the platonic Form of Good. When you look deep within yo...

There is always this sense of entitlement that merits special treatment as though they inherently deserve to be privileged. Social narcissism.
April 22, 2017 at 12:44
Against what, exactly? I believe in God. There is no 'way' there is only 'your way' and no one is able to provide you with explicit answers on how to ...

Is that a bad date? Or a fight with your partner? I don't know, but that was one of the best things I have read in ages. >:O Beautiful.

Ah come on, I know you were joking. (L)
April 22, 2017 at 02:04
I don't define God and what we attribute to God are properties or representations that attempt to affirm our inferiority and the perfections we should...

Why?

Well, you did. :’( Bobby Cliff for life. I actually think they can be productive depending on the person whom you decide to discuss the topic with. Th...

Sounds somewhat Harry Potterish... Motivation for what exactly? First let us eliminate any socio-religious influences and ascertain what motivation it...

The need to think authentically, however, necessitates a consciousness of ones own subjective emotions and whether their responses to external stimuli...

Humpf, I am trying to eat my subway sandwich. Ok, fine. I once encountered a lady who appeared to be a highly religious and thus apparently a moral pe...

I said silence!

Work those pegs toward the lyceum. As I say in the gym. 'I squat, therefore I am.' Nevertheless, I follow no religion, so what would be my holy reason...
April 20, 2017 at 02:25
OK, so while I find it awesome that your running and philosophizing at the same time, my point was not to put people in categories. A good woman doesn...

Despite the fact I am reading and responding on my phone as I travel on the train and may not be adequately computing your point, but when someone can...

I could, but I'm sure you could be creative enough to think of one yourself.

Why is that holy? So, because I am a woman, am I meant to be passive and naive too? Run along...

Are you talking to me or to you? I am not the one who said that people in the Middle East should die because of overpopulation. That is, well, going o...

I don't have loved ones to bury, not for a very long time and what propelled me to an intellectual life despite my gender and appearances, hence why I...

Sorry, but do you feel proud that after 1.9K posts you figured out a basic process? :P
April 19, 2017 at 12:57
Yeah I actually remember that, and it got somewhat controversial because of a poster who appeared to be taking your ideas. X-) But aside from that, it...

May as well add my two cents considering the opportunity, but you ALWAYS write amazing. When the day comes where I overcome my need to mockery, I hope...

Charming. Nevertheless, I have adequate daily intake of moral fibre, thank you very much.
