...as found in the Bible. Do you eat shellfish?

Thinking of Morning after pill.
October 31, 2019 at 02:19
Damning yourself with your own words: Keep digging. Explain to us again how women ought behave.
October 31, 2019 at 02:18
I think so. Analysis of language as use shows the poverty of explicit definition. Consider family resemblance, for instance.
October 31, 2019 at 02:12
Extraordinary, that you cannot see that what you have written here reeks of misogyny. So I might just leave it here for others to consider when apprai...

I wonder if what you are doing would be better served by modal logic. That is, what are you saying with ?p(p?¬p) that couldn't be said with ?(p?¬p)?
October 31, 2019 at 01:49
Well, it is not possible according to the formation rules... What occurs after ? is a variable, not a proposition.

Opposition to abortion is immoral. It is immoral because it puts the "needs" of a cyst ahead of those of a human. Pretending a cyst has rights in orde...
October 31, 2019 at 01:34
Well, yes, it is nasty. It tells of a person who does not respect women; who assigns them their place based on their gender alone, without regard for ...
October 31, 2019 at 01:13
No, it's what you said: If that's not you, then don't say it.
October 31, 2019 at 00:30
Persuasive words - well, they persuade. Your writing is ugly, nasty, self-serving bullshit.
October 31, 2019 at 00:11
So back to my main point:
October 31, 2019 at 00:10
I find your posts ponderous in the extreme, with no identifiable argument. Furthermore you have expressed a moraly abhorrent disregard for women. I do...
October 31, 2019 at 00:07
Scooping out your argument, a foetus contains all the data for a fully developed human being. This gives the foetus a thing called potential, that is ...
October 31, 2019 at 00:06
Calling out this misogynist crap: Women are for having children; any woman who does not wish to bear a child to term is insane; a woman who is not hap...

SO a twelve-year-old rape victim ought not be permitted a neat, convenient abortion?
October 30, 2019 at 21:39
I was taking your post seriously; but I came to this: That's a pretty pathetic pronouncement, even by your standards. You are not worth the effort, Ha...
October 30, 2019 at 21:38
Your post was unclear to me. SO I will paraphrase it, below, and you tell me if I have the gist. So sometimes it is OK to kill things. An example is t...
October 30, 2019 at 21:29
What's that, then?
October 30, 2019 at 01:44
And eggs and sperm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUspLVStPbk
October 30, 2019 at 00:26
Wouldn't all this just mean that what we mean by being real just is being dreamed by deity 1? Which is to say, this metaphysical dream makes no differ...
October 29, 2019 at 21:07
Your argument is poorly drawn. Set it out so it can be seen. A blood cell from your veins would be human, but not a human being. It is alive - at what...
October 29, 2019 at 20:37
That's the trouble with Zombie threads. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/249231 And elsewhere.
October 29, 2019 at 20:32
:cool:
October 28, 2019 at 20:46
SO, do tell us more about the ineffable...
October 27, 2019 at 22:24
But that's not a reason to do bad metaphysics.
October 27, 2019 at 20:58
Btu there is also nothing to make it necessary...
October 27, 2019 at 20:57
Now that is so much better than your first post.
October 27, 2019 at 20:43
Something only you understand?
October 27, 2019 at 20:36
Sure. I posit that someone who chooses to call themselves "OmniscientNihilist" has a long way to go in understanding them. Tying yourself to a world v...
October 27, 2019 at 20:33
Mere word play. Especially when you do it wrong.
October 27, 2019 at 20:28
Quoting authority to excuse your own poor thinking.
October 27, 2019 at 20:25
Now your words become a muddle. I have nothing in my pocket. I'll give you half of it. And that's what your post - - is. A word muddle.
October 27, 2019 at 20:04
Look it up. How do you explain my disagreeing wiht you?
October 27, 2019 at 19:57
AN ad hoc reparation on your part. SO what is the vacuum full of?
October 27, 2019 at 19:56
How doe you avoid solipsism?
October 27, 2019 at 19:50
Vacuum state fluctuation is real, and happens everywhere, all the time. I gather this is what @"tim wood" was referring to. Hence the supposition is j...
October 27, 2019 at 19:48
Not so much. You confuse human beings and human tissue. They are not the very same.
October 27, 2019 at 19:31
Now, if there were a God, wouldn't it be that sort of thing?
October 27, 2019 at 04:07
Sure, a neat answer. Considering what must be the case, in order for one to doubt in this way. There must, for instance, be beliefs, however tentative...
October 27, 2019 at 03:29
Hence, pessimism.
October 27, 2019 at 02:46
Omnipresence. IF there were a god, wouldn't His presence be utterly overwhelming? This seems to be what many of the devout describe. This in contrast ...
October 27, 2019 at 02:40
October 26, 2019 at 23:50
That approach strikes me as deplorable...
October 26, 2019 at 23:27
There's no arguing with that level of rationality.
October 26, 2019 at 23:26
The invisible hand, for all its utility, can't help out in the commons.
October 26, 2019 at 22:52
The imperfectability of Man.
October 26, 2019 at 22:48
Economics. I set out the only viable solution to the tragedy of the commons in a thread with that name. Trouble is, it's not an economic solution but ...
October 26, 2019 at 22:24
Yep. I'm thinking of the faith found in the trial of god. There is questioning, even rejection, and yet there is still faith. In that play the argumen...

It's not one church.
