I am just scrolling through this thread, and I am scratching my head how people come up with this weird stuff. "It is urgent that we understand why Ch...

Not infinitum; very rapidly indeed, seeing that human life span is about 80 years. And yes, this has been happening before, and is happening now. Use ...

Seriously? The same women continuously vote the parties who advocate globalism and unlimited third world mass immigration because it feels so good? By...

In all likelyhood, it is going to be a Biden/Harris combination. If that pair wins, the presidency is going to looks like a WH version of "Driving Mis...
March 19, 2020 at 03:34
It is a math question. It does not very long, and obviously society is drastically impacted long before the whole population actually "disappears". Yo...

The most oblitered industries were in Germany, which (the Western sector) experienced one of the most amazing economic booms of all times. Ditto for J...
March 18, 2020 at 17:52
The UK went into deep depression after WW2, while West Germany had it economic miracle, and East Germany continued to suffer. As you can see, there ar...

The whole Nazi country ceased to exist, so that is a bit of a weird argument.
March 18, 2020 at 16:36
You can look up the birth rates, for example 1.3 in Italy and 1.5 in Japan. This and the accompanying problems are very real. As I said, demography is...
March 18, 2020 at 16:15
But problems begin way before that, with a decreasing young population having to support an increasing old population. Pension and medical systems get...
March 18, 2020 at 04:53
Couple of generations, depending on how low the birthrate actually is, You really should familiarize yourself with some basic demographic facts.
March 18, 2020 at 04:50
I have no idea what you are prattling about. Can you write in comprehensible English?
March 17, 2020 at 19:43
Ah, OK. Sorry, did not want to make fun of Alzheimer. Pls forgive.
March 17, 2020 at 16:03
OK, boomer...
March 17, 2020 at 15:47
As I said, I can not help you with your obvious reading comprehension problems, so please stop trying to argue.
March 17, 2020 at 15:29
They are not contradicting each other, I don´t know what your point is.
March 17, 2020 at 15:27
Would be interesting to meet some people like that... I never had that experience. Where I live people are generally happy with "there are things we d...
March 17, 2020 at 14:38
I do not see how that follows from what you wrote.
March 17, 2020 at 13:45
Been trying to explain exactly that to Frank Apisa for a whole string of messages now, but it is like talking to a wall....
March 17, 2020 at 13:37
Its TDS..... more persistant than Corona.
March 17, 2020 at 13:34
Exactly. Some people here do not seem to understand that. A "price" for a stock does not mean that anybody is actually buying or selling. Anybody who ...
March 17, 2020 at 12:41
No, the burden should not be to prove a negative. How do you come up with this stuff? I can not "prove" that there are no pink unicorns on Mars. So if...
March 17, 2020 at 12:34
As has been pointed out many times to this line of thougt is that your "creator" is not not an answer. Because it only leads to the question: Well, wh...
March 17, 2020 at 10:18
So death is a he? How sexist. :-)
March 17, 2020 at 09:37
I think you are pointing at the real problem here. It is not just the Corona itself, but the ripple effect. What do you do if all the hospitals are cl...
March 17, 2020 at 09:36
I would not be too sure about that. For example, in the translation business, they moved away from algorythmic approaches to fuzzy learning. When Goog...

From the data we have, mortality rate is about 3%, and that consisting mostly of elderly, no? Yes, it is bad but it is not the end of the world.
March 17, 2020 at 06:38
Really? Do you have data for that? Don´t have reference right now, but I think I have see worse, and looking at the various indexes right now, I think...
March 17, 2020 at 06:37
This presentation from MSNBC goes into exponential growth concerning COVID-19 more thoroughly. People are watching MSNBC for "information"? Mind-boggl...
March 17, 2020 at 05:25
Actually, such drops have occurred in the past, and yes, people as a whole are really irrational.
March 17, 2020 at 05:23
Because they still have PRICE even if nobody is buying. If you own stocks (or anything else) in such a market, you can see the price drop all the time...
March 17, 2020 at 05:19
@Frank Apisa: I can´t help you with your reading comprehension problems, sorry.
March 16, 2020 at 18:24
I am not "ducking" anything, and you might want to stop mind-reading.
March 16, 2020 at 16:24
You saying that does not make it so.
March 16, 2020 at 14:35
Thanks. I did not know that word. But yes, anybody who asks me about belief in god needs to define first what he/she means by god.
March 16, 2020 at 06:08
Your questions are nonsensical.
March 16, 2020 at 06:05
I have no opinion on that, just as I have no opinion on the existence of pink walrusses on Mars. I simply do not believe the claims made by theists. D...
March 15, 2020 at 19:25
I can not generalize about "people who use "atheist" as a descriptor", since I personally know only a limited number and I have not seen a large opini...
March 15, 2020 at 19:06
None of those are from strong Haddiths and refer to interaction with kuffars. You really do not know what you are talking about here. I am not sure wh...

Frank Apisa: I think we are talking past each other.
March 15, 2020 at 18:55
Just as a reminder to Frank Apisa et al.... I didn´t think it is necessary on a "philosophy" forum, but here we go. Disbelieving a phantastic claim is...
March 15, 2020 at 12:47
No. This is old and tired talking point. Disbelieving a claim is not a belief.
March 15, 2020 at 12:44
No. Agnostic would imply that I think life in the outer nebula is unknowable, whch I do not. Lets go back to your claim: You claimed that when an athe...
March 15, 2020 at 11:08
I think that a frequent misunderstanding of the two terms. However, ...theism refers to a belief, while ...gnosticism refers to knowledge. So agnostic...
March 15, 2020 at 11:01
No, that does not follow. A rejection of a claim does not imply a belief in the opposite of the claim. For example if I claim that there is intelligen...
March 15, 2020 at 10:58
Err, no. That would be anti-theism. Atheism simply refers to disbelief of the claim, not a belief in non-existence.
March 15, 2020 at 10:42
You want to bring out that old canard? That is just Russels orbiting teapot again.
March 15, 2020 at 10:40
Please stop making up things. I never said I want you to "respect all religions". I simply said you stop GENERALIZING about all religions, since they ...
March 14, 2020 at 19:38
I have read the Koran and the Haddiths, have you? Obviously not, otherwise you would know that what I said is correct. Concepts like the sanctitiy of ...
March 14, 2020 at 19:31
I did not say that the Golden Rule is unique to Christianity. I said it does exist in Christianity, but not in all religions. Please read before comme...
