What if you like to target shoot? You never played a game like horseshoes or Whack-a-Mole? Asteroids? It's the same concept, really. Skeet shooting, e...
sparsely* Generally so, yes. Of course, it ultimately depends on whom you ask. Some people are reasonable, some aren't. You know that. Perhaps. But a ...
In Alaska (which is an American territory), some sparely populated villages do not have traditional roads that can be navigated by vehicles during cer...
Tuesday does in fact have a magnificent color. It's somewhat of a pinkish-purple but with just the slightest tinge of aquamarine strewn about. Anyone ...
And whose fault is that? Rather, why is that? Because of your own inability to accept that these things exist, bad people have them, will use them. an...
See, this gets down to the root of the issue, perhaps unintentionally. It's an "attack". Point blank. Not a debate, not an attempt to better humanity ...
In a given society, populace, or set of circumstances, that is correct. I don't think a family member would care very much whether their loved one wer...
I'm afraid that's all you my friend and your own solo show. Two people replied to the post, one of which being myself, and you used the term "folk", w...
Considering only two people replied to the post in question, one of which being me, I assume that as a invitation to reply. Wanting to at least thorou...
The funny part is, all of this goes away if we think, just for a moment, that not every tale and act of God was permitted to be recorded by men, let a...
Nice chart. But, the question to answer to determine if it is misleading or not is quite simple: How's freedom of the press, though? Without citizen's...
Fair. Still, another slightly different yet fundamentally crucial question remains. If there's two houses to rob, and you have to rob one. Do you rob ...
Sure, that's a fair point. When you're outgunned, you're outgunned. You either live to fight another day, or you take the Hannibal approach. Not unlik...
With all due respect, you might benefit if you would stop thinking that people are by and large rational, or otherwise like yourself. Patrick Henry, m...
Freedom means freedom to do what one desires, provided it does not trespass on a need of another person. In a perfect world, one does not "need" weapo...
A gun is an item. Is that correct? It fires a projectile that can be used for hunting, gathering of food, and of course, defense if needed. Food is re...
To be fair, I had to Google at least two terms in this reply. The first, understandable, most "ism's" are simply repackaged from their original author...
Sure, we're extending the debate into larger enveloping (yet fundamentally relevant) concepts that aren't ordinarily part and parcel of such. Does tha...
No, it means exactly what I said. Simplified, bearing in mind the context of your assumption, which I'm sure is quite reasonable: Power corrupts. Do y...
Absolutely. And that's the problem. These things don't "scale" as one inexperienced with such areas of social workings might imagine. The average pers...
Or, the root of the root of the issue is how to deal with the inevitable monstrosity and absolute horror show that is human nature, unrestricted. I've...
Sure, that's a whole topic in and of itself. But. Remember. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison Do you r...
Of course. I'm not saying the concept doesn't exist simply that most people misuse the word and throw it around to the point it loses meaning and sinc...
So, basically following a time-tested (or perhaps yet to be tested?) plan (or theory, if it has yet to be tested) and sticking to it. Basically, follo...
To be fair, it was, but we didn't listen. According to the text in question. Whenever governments try to control birthrates and population they get ca...
A human being never killed another human being before there were firearms? Remember this is about firearms, not weapons. A rock is a weapon, if used a...
Because you have everything you need thanks to those who did it for you. Are you going to give up your home, knowledge, and basically everything you h...
Okay. Your basic, telling a kid fire is hot instead of momentarily putting their hand on a stove or over said fire, for example. Of course. That's rig...
So if someone killed your wife or kid or whatever, and you wanted to make them suffer. That's just magically not the definition of torture. Me thinks ...
Well, we don't know that for sure. Who could say? Was the first revolutionary invention (incandescent lighting, refrigeration, etc.) spoken in perfect...
What variables? You mean truth and the actual reality of the situation at hand? That's a bit of an abrasively dismissive way of describing such, would...
Sure. If it was "just someone". But what if the person who was shot actually got away with a crime they were never charged with, say killing a man's s...
Webster's dictionary defines "torture" as purposeful infliction of pain or suffering for no other purpose than to do so. Reason and rationale, or inte...
Again, more assumptions. If, right now, I break into your house, kill everything alive, including you (or so I thought, but you instead manage to esca...
OP, the answers you seek will not please someone such as yourself. You have to remember, we're talking about the idea of a universe where a divine bei...
It's something you won't understand unless you're raised into it. You'd just go crazy and think the world is a simulation if you knew the truth. Think...
It's pretty simple. But I shan't spoil it for you and others like you. Basically, back then, there were much, much, much less words in existence that ...
Biological (or external and outward) maturity =/= intellectual or mental (inward or internal) maturity. Numerous studies attest to this fact. The stat...
Not perfectly, predictably, or uniformly, no. Not every time, not on every occasion. But surely lack of education is what creates worse people or at t...
Oh come now. No innocent man has ever been framed. No bad thing has ever happened to a good person? What fanatical idealism is this? And yes, you know...
See, here's the kicker. To be able to definitively say, without lying "everything is " requires a perfect understanding. At least, one that is conside...
Kind of ironic though. Implying your ability to understand is perfect in this one context only for no reason at all. :lol: More so, as to the original...
A "bad" or "evil" society considers things that are virtuous and just as the opposite. Similar to how kindness is equated with weakness or honesty is ...
Of course. Our understanding of a non-static system will naturally result in "nothing we can observe" (the lowest designation) to "the highest thing w...
i understand. Of course, "justified" basically means "sounds good to me" which as I'm sure you're aware of can vary greatly, to the point of legal ins...
https://www.philosophy.com (or a simple Google search for the word "philosophy" will do) Now as to whether said phenomenon is an "evolution" and not a...
So does this preclude the idea of, forgive me, "untrue knowledge", or at least, information that is, by all intents and purposes true at a given momen...
