It reads like a broad spectrum stereotype shotgun to me, not specific to whites. There's definitely some hillbilly white trash in it, but it has a ful...
I feel like the very idea of giving a nation credit for not being the worst human rights abuser on the planet is beyond the point of parody. But if yo...
I am amazed that you can frame it this way with a straight face! It's discrimination against Israel in the international theatre that's causing the UN...
The UN doesn't see it as that clear cut. Nor does Amnesty International - the UN is the UN, Amnesty International is a renowned human rights watchdog....
:up: Same for the people of Palestine, since: gives mandate for Hamas to force match Israel. To put it bluntly, Palestine isn't doing very well in thi...
Please try and stay on point. Look at the argument: (1) A people displaced from their historic home ought to be able to return there. (2) The people o...
Yes, it just also has the unintended consequence of justifying Palestinian right to return. If deprivation of your people's historic home is the bench...
If you can state the math problem verbatim, I'll help you with it if I can. As it stands you've not stated a calculus problem. Try writing using Mathj...
I don't know, a discrepancy of 400 civilian deaths is really the tipping point for me. Those 400 civilian deaths would mandate forced eviction of some...
I think the essence of @"Baden"'s point is intact: what is the distinction between Palestinians and Southern Irish that would've made the UK bombing c...
What metrics would you accept for the comparison? Here are mine, Israel's policy towards Palestine is colonial expansion, an unjust war, not fought in...
Factored in.. Killing children receiving trauma treatment? Caused by Israeli policy and military action? Factored in.. If I agree with you in the prec...
If someone won't show the due nuance-fu to say something like: "Going through the puberty associated with male natal sex might render an unfair advant...
Why are you asking me to clarify the distinction, which you seem to understand, rather than those present whose intentions matter more? I'm gonna step...
Careful you lot. If you're arguing about whether, eg, testosterone level and natal sex are in any way determinative of sports performance and the rela...
If these scenes - eg the air striking of an Al Jazeera office, the bombing of a hospital, blacking out internet and social media sites - came from ano...
What argument for securing the future of the people of Israel would not also apply to the people of Palestine? The latter are also a people of diaspor...
:up: That blog is a goldmine, it gives me the impression that internal squabbles in academia play out very much like they do on the forum. Posturing, ...
If it's not appeared after you've got 21 posts, there can be a delay in plushforums updating stuff - it could be that the permission to report posts i...
We do have content standards, but the bar is much much lower; both in tone and content; than academic discussion. We want this to be a space where peo...
I realise this is a multipost, but considering that "going off topic" isn't generally against the rules, I cleared the mod queue for the thread. I wil...
@"Apollodorus" - this thread is an earnest attempt to engage with the text of Plato's Phaedo, if you are unable or unwilling to do so, take it elsewhe...

I'm quite happy to characterise them as "inappropriate reactions", as it mixes up what counts as a need with the norms they are recognised by, and mud...
I think trauma blurs the distinction between the past and the future. The past has a frustrated need in it, the future is lived to compensate. Perhaps...
Yes. Heuristics regarding people quickly become idealisations. Applies as much to mysticism as therapy as psychology. I don't think the boundary is th...
I guess this brings up what demarcates a need from a tactic. If I have a need for love and respect, is my relationship with my romantic partner a tact...
I can need you to be subservient to me. I can need you to play a role which destroys you or others. I can codepend, I can confine, I can dominate. My ...
I need this to be false because my anger is redemptive. I need this to be a partial truth because sometimes I must force people to meet my needs. I ne...
I tend to delete low effort obviously wrong ones for being low effort. I tend to leave decently written obviously wrong ones up. To my reckoning, we'r...
AFAIK open-ness has some discriminatory power regarding conservative political opinion (eg here), but that's a far cry from an individualist causal re...
It could be that my use of pace is shite. I used it and in read it as "in deference to", I never even googled the other "in deference to contrary opin...
I wouldn't call what I wrote an argument. It isn't a syllogism or a logical form, it's a rhetorical appeal to the alignment of philosophy with purposi...
I think it's a pretty philosophical thing to feel like philosophy is insufficient. If it's, as @"Judaka" says, recreational - it can be an art, like c...
:up: I'll try and recontextualize. Response to @"Isaac": Translation + stress testing of the bridge translation builds. Like Barret's work on emotion ...
