Not sure if your apology is directed at me, but I think I may have been misunderstood. My comments about the genres posted here weren’t meant to disco...
And that’s fine, as long as the preference isn’t for white males? Why is preferring one race over another ok? Is it ok in any other situations? But wh...
I think racial discrimination has to be included here. It is the mechanism through which racist beliefs are put into practice, and the actual actions ...
Not to argue with the dictionary, but I am surprised at the emphasis on belief. In everyday language many acts are considered racist, typically any ac...
No. I’m maintaining that excluding all races and genders except black female from consideration for a position is racial (and gender) discrimination, ...
I understand your post, but largely don’t see the relevance. The question is whether or not appointing a person to a position on the Supreme Court bas...
What are you saying here? That the system is inherently designed to be racist/sexist? That none of the last 250 years worth of appointees weren’t the ...
If Biden meant that he will automatically exclude anyone who isn’t a black woman from consideration for the appointment, then that is both racist and ...
I think there’s a difference between physically exerting your strength over another person and learning a skill like playing an instrument. It may not...
@"Amity" @"jamalrob" Personally, I like the bi-annual contest better. Just the fact that it’s an “event” makes it feel special and different. And my c...
Just my two cents. :wink: I think that while the influence you’ve gained from your wealth is important and worthy of considerable deliberation, what’s...
Someone has to take the first step towards change. Treating others with permanent disdain does nothing positive. Daryl Drake is a great example of wha...
I don’t think anyone said they believe I should be dead or suffer forever. They simply believe that is what will happen if I do not change my ways. It...
I think we should judge other’s moral character based on the totality of their actions. Beliefs, in and of themselves, do not cause harm. So their bel...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mkxV3LSCwUU Now let's get it all in perspective Shift the objective, you've been misdirected What's the purpose of anoth...
Cool. I always thought it resembled wounds or blood. Reminds me of something else, but I can’t ever figure out what. Nah. I did like your previous one...
Here’s an “example” I thought of, and am curious about its implications. I’m not really sure how I feel about it. Anyways, here goes. You make plans t...
I doubt it. I played football, basketball, baseball, and soccer growing up nearly every year. I’m also interested in philosophy, and social sciences i...
This is probably right. The only alternative would be to outright deny that the properties from the other side (idealism/physicalism) exists. But at t...
Searle, though not an idealist, described the difference in physical and mental properties as so: Mental Subjective Qualitative Intentional Not spatia...
I would consider the concept of souls to be an exception, but maybe you disagree. Actually, immaterialism as a whole seems doesn’t seem like it could ...
Coincidentally I’m reading a book that talks about creepiness. In one experiment 95.3% of the participants thought men were more likely to be creepy t...
Seems like an irrelevant example then. We have a working definition of “physical” don’t we? Not saying it’s 100% complete, but we are able to at least...
“Hey guys, remember how we thought everything was ‘Hakuna Matata?’ Well, it turns out it’s just Matata.” We are capable of imagining things that aren’...
Because they disagree on what that “thing” is (mental/physical). That’s true, but only if there is complete agreement. As of now there are competing c...
It isn’t about the bully (who I assume represents parents). It’s about the justification for causing harm by stopping the bully. How do you justify th...
So that justifies you causing harm? Your opinion is presented to people without their consent, and that opinion could be harmful. Sure they can walk a...
It’s possible that you may be. Do you think the pain of not having a child will simply go away? Besides, the amount of harm caused is irrelevant, acco...
Sure, but your moral theory could simply prioritize one over the other. Something like “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” So that ...
