Pride often begets the fall. But not for you. No, not of one who has so much potential to share with those he might find unworthy or unfitting or perh...

That's actually the most interesting thing I've read here in a long time. Anyway, he made a post about Trump and I made a reply along the lines of "th...

Alas, says the executioner who wishes he could take back his pull or undo of the rope on the innocent. Yet the damage is done, all the same. Sleep sou...

I believe that. Low self esteem, from the looks of it. Wanted to make his light shown and felt rejected. Tis a pity but natural for folk young of age ...

I mean, unelightened thought something of the sort happened, so. Y'know. Come on mate. He's a smart guy so I just figured, oh shoot, maybe he's right....

Riiight... Who just suddenly doesn't have a name anymore? Well, go on, spill the beans! Lest some of us think he really didn't do so by his own will a...

I'm basically an alcoholic, sorry. I have a habit to misread things in the most offensive configuration possible. (and even so, I have immense levels ...
June 08, 2025 at 02:44
Well, as a religious person I suppose many would place me outside of the first category, so, a fair point brought about. :grin: Functional? Indeed. To...

Do you think she's not a sane, functional, rational adult able to understand consequences including what risk and death is?
June 08, 2025 at 02:27
It's her life. She's an adult. In fact, one who has reached heights of life and fame in this world most all people could only dream of. Why are you so...

How about just be nice and respond with logical necessity only as opposed to things you know very well are superfluous in a logical sense and serve on...

Huh? What happened now? Who? Or are you merely postulating a hypothetical? :chin:
June 07, 2025 at 22:37
Huh... interesting! I suppose one might counter-argue by saying the pigment response in mammalian or other organic beings may be universal and thus si...

Not necessarily. Fear of a prolonged electricity outage could be considered a social construct, a wholly modern invention, while it is certainly not a...

I've noticed there's some disconnect between the two arguments here. So, what is your argument in one sentence. Or two. One as simple as possible, and...

Or, maybe he truly wishes to reign it in. Whatever "it" is. It's a valid English language sentence and concept.
June 06, 2025 at 14:40
You're a breath of fresh air here. I only hope you show restraint and choose logic over sensationalism. For those of us who wish to continue enjoying ...

What a shame that is to hear, a lovely and well-learned soul such as yourself should not have to walk this path wrought with trepidation alone; of cou...

This goes back to the heart of the debate, why would you have to "convince" someone of something that doesn't actually result in any benefit or allevi...

I hope we're all eating well today. May I offer, for your consideration, a work of, dare I say, art? Snapper filet, oven baked, and with a bit of an a...

Or, maybe it's just smarter than you realize and is attempting to create what we humans call "style" or "fashion" or "one's particular way of doing th...

I feel people are not as educated as they, not only used to be, but could be. In short, I feel there's more to be known than what exists in the averag...

Born something he (or she, I don't indulge or humor nonsense let alone keep track of such) wasn't. How simple is that to grasp? Sure, it's natural to ...

I mean, while I can't answer for @"Harry Hindu" I feel the following a likely sentiment or inevitable question. Do children not grow up wishing they w...
June 02, 2025 at 16:02
I'm sorry you feel that way. But it happens to be a fact that the average person is not educated as far as most efficiently and effectively managing n...

No but they clearly had an effectual role model or leader or at least adequate teacher, or perhaps they did not, and the society in which was created ...
June 02, 2025 at 06:33
Do people not use art as a tool? Is propaganda not a thing? An effective tool at that. It most certainly is, or at least was. But, yes. I shall do as ...
June 02, 2025 at 04:47
A simple misunderstanding is a passive event. One and done. Not an active "struggle", as you, if I may humbly suggest, project unto another. Sure, I c...
June 02, 2025 at 04:16
Sure, one might say "meaning" is personal, whereas "value" can be measured or codified by some sort of agreed upon standard that requires more than th...
June 02, 2025 at 03:58
Something that is useless can have value? Or something that has value can be useless? I'm reminded of the old adage, forgive me for being cliche, "One...

What of them? They lived wonderful (if not tumultuous) lives and even in death continue to inspire others. Where is this parsimonious sentiment of you...
June 02, 2025 at 00:37
I was thinking recently about what the human who calls himself "Jamal" had to say about art, that, no matter what form it is it possesses one universa...
June 01, 2025 at 22:20
Not at all. It's the simple fluid dynamics of social progress. People want happiness, and that requires ignorance. At least, minding one's own immedia...

Someone told me once, if you have to pick an extreme example to make a counter-argument, perhaps you should consider listening more closely to what th...

Oh all the laypeople want are their short-sighted desires met. The layperson seeks not truth but mere empty validation, and so finds neither. No matte...

Well shoot why not a fourth gender? Or a fifth. Or a sixth. Or a 12th while we're at it! This is not slippery slope fallacy, this is what people will ...
May 31, 2025 at 18:02
What in the actual !@#$ does that have to do with anything? You don't have to think you're going to die if you don't do something to realize it might ...

It is wholly, completely, and utterly inaccurate. A literal work of fiction and unfortunate delusion, for any who would partake such falsehood as fact...
