I don’t think it can ever truly be level, or fair. Not completely. As far as I know, no immoral practice has been completely eradicated. Slavery still...
Lol, yeah right. For me the issue is that anytime one group is given an advantage, it necessarily disadvantages anyone not in that group. I don’t know...
I continue to struggle to see the underlying “eye for an eye” philosophy in these sort of conclusions as moral or just. If Affirmative Action, in effe...
Um, ok. @"Noble Dust" Intention probably is a better word to use. I would perhaps say skill is the ability to communicate one’s intentions? And perhap...
Ah, I see what you meant now. I’m not sure how many of the images I’d call craft. It would entirely depend on whoever created them. Sure. That’s proba...
I agree. I think in these gray areas how an item should be judged should be determined by the creator. They more than likely had an idea/vision for wh...
@"Noble Dust" @"Tom Storm" @"T Clark" @"Jamal" Just responding to everyone and no one in particular. I think at the heart of the craft/skill/art discu...
Headhunter Silence blared through the empty room. Filled with guilt, desperation, torment… You know what they say, “Fear is the mind-killer.” But it’s...
Here’s a link to a previous thread with some good examples of the “myth” of separation of church and state. Just follow the links provided by me, @"NO...
I think the idea that we are capable of “choosing” our beliefs is somewhat of a myth. For the most part, beliefs are ideas we’re attracted to, or idea...
This makes me think about the relationship between happiness and pleasure. They’re are arguments that posit that a life of unending pleasure may not l...
Yeah, totally agree. I’ve recently started trying to make/record music and take it a bit more seriously, so I’ve been trying to pay more attention to ...
Yeah, no kidding. All the Fibonacci stuff itself is impressive, but doing that and making a great sounding song takes it to a level I don’t think anyo...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e34fWSOW2tU The world is a ploy... The world is a ploy To train you and shame you A leash of employ The rake sweeps and ...
I thought this same question quite a while back, so I don’t find it silly or boring. I’m really not knowledgeable enough to comment much on the topic,...
I don’t suppose there’s a way to verify that? That thread has a maximum limit of 200 words. There’s a gap from 200-500 word stories, which is where mi...
@"Baden" @"jamalrob" I have an idea for the short story competitions. I had planned to enter the previous contest, but wasn’t able to reach the 500 wo...
Maybe low sexual satisfaction is why they’re masturbating to porn. That’s true of basically everything in today’s world (obtaining food, shelter, comp...
I think the concern isn’t desensitization, but normalization, of child sex acts. It’s the idea that watching others (hentai, childish looking adults, ...
Ideally it should start with equal opportunity, meaning access to quality education, healthcare, and so on. This would eliminate circumstantial (dis)a...
Thank. Ok, I’m not getting this. Let’s say the amount stolen/taxed is $100. If I need that $100 to survive (for food, rent, whatever), I will suffer d...
I’ve liked most of it. As far as Japanese music goes I also really like Maximum the Hormone and Geinoh Yamashirogumi. But that’s also about all I’m fa...
Sorry for the late reply, I got Covid. It depends on how the power is obtained. The ends don’t justify the means. The difference in harm in this case ...
No, I’m not saying another white male should be selected. I’m not saying I have all the answers, but I’m sure someone smarter than me could come up wi...
It’s equally harmful. I don’t think whoever is being discriminated against cares about the motive. That it harms them is all that matters. Well, right...
