Not inherently. Generally yes, most items bought and sold are 'made' or 'processed' in some way. Before answering, the reason I consider the story a "...
I suppose.. in that random crazy scenario there's some point. Can I steal your house or wife just because I can do something better with either than p...
All the typical stuff mentioned .. but also being able to have a dialog of considerable length with someone who holds an opposing view. Not everyone c...
Oh God it's spreading. Wait a minute- before you make any conclusions, consider this. Without death, the weak would still be weak and alive and the st...
I got one! Say society turns into a supremacist dystopia where the physically (and I suppose for this example mentally, either of) superior are allowe...
I can't. But that's the point. We live in a world- and for the most (recent) part always have- where technology, innovation, logic, and reason paves t...
How dare you. What little faith ye have. Thinking- nay- daring, insulting others by pretending, in the most condescending manner- that logic can someh...
There's very little to misinterpret I'm afraid. Well if that's all that matters. More quickly yet more brutal eh? That's.. an interesting conclusion. ...
The fancy, intellectual sounding Latin phrase escapes me at present but in short this is a trick question. A person's life matters by content of chara...
Everyone poses a risk to you if they happen to be committing/guilty of a crime and it's your job to stop it or apprehend them. Just because someones s...
I find this response interesting, because it doesn't necessarily say any of the cops involved were "trigger happy" or otherwise use lethal city proper...
I sometimes wonder if the Mark of the Beast prophecy (as it was purported to be a vision- interpreted by someone of yesteryear who couldn't possibly u...
Yeah. Well, alright see right there. No one planned to kill Breonna Taylor. At least, there's no evidence of that? Wrong place, wrong time. Such as wh...
I was going to start a topic regarding a recent event in the news of relation. I like to look at events that have potential racial pretenses in two wa...
Here are some of the drawbacks (in general) I see with that. Random/new/inactive or otherwise 0 or low post accounts. Why anyone would want to take th...
Would this- in your idea- in theory allow one to see who up/down voted what and/or be visible/traceable from their forum profile or would it be anonym...
Why bother. Many will continue to speak in an absolute and authoritative tone and context regardless. No need to punish people who actually acknowledg...
I'm not saying you're wrong- in any way. It's just this is probably the EXACT same quote geocentrists said to real scientists not that long ago, usual...
Sounds unusually hollow and vain coming from someone one would assume is an old philosopher .. who people actually speak of. Are you sure you're not q...
What if the garden is a metaphor for thought, and the trees are metaphors for disciplines or schools of thought. Also, does it necessarily preclude an...
It's a good enough equalizer at least. In the throes of crippling and debilitating sickness, the poorest, meekest man and the richest, strongest man l...
Weird tax avoidance "strategy" .. man created the computer and so is the true creator of whatever it "creates". Be like if I made a "spin art" machine...
Wouldn't this imply no selfless and caring person has ever had a hard life? And that no selfish and toxic person ever had a good one? Let me guess. Yo...
An interesting point you reminded me of. People who get addicted to powerful painkillers, opiates, morphine, really strong stuff. It changes something...
Sure. If I'm part of an army and in another country we've declared war on I'm "allowed" to kill anyone who tries to defend themselves as an "enemy com...
We're intrinsically social creatures so, usually. What do you mean by things? Any non-entity aside from food, water, and shelter? They say only you ca...
You're not a very patient person. Oh you better not. Some of the weakest people you can imagine are some of the strongest physically or in terms of so...
Great. I can speak in front of you. Living out the way I choose to live my life within the confines of the law, not so much. Well thankfully we have t...
Doesn't matter if it's Christians (again, there's many religions out there... they just seem to be your favorite for some reason) and God with Atheist...
Circumstance of an overpopulated world and the society it spawned has no reflection of an absolute definition of free will. Yes, there are billions of...
Are both sides not living testaments (relics if you prefer) to the human story and how philosophy evolved and got to where it is now in the first plac...
We agree on a problem, not a solution. Like when a poster who has posted here recently was critical of Christians, I understood where he was coming fr...
Perhaps not, but emotions and the thoughts, perspectives, and mental avenues they create are. Just as you'd perhaps become upset at a philosophy that ...
Well I'm sure fifty percent of young people don't understand how an automobile functions. Not quite the same argument, granted, however ignorance whet...
Agree and disagree. Granted in this world something so profoundly not provable should barely be worth mentioning time and time again... Of course this...
Well how fortunate for us. Meanwhile that last bit should be the least of your concerns. Faux Christians or simply liars attempting to shroud themselv...
I've noticed this! :rofl: As a believer in .. something or another .. (that's essentially the only thing 9 out of 10 religious people can ever agree o...
Anything that is powerful is prone to corruption. See above post. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing complicated about it. If Group A has power, Grou...
What? :sweat: Before folks start to jump on you I'll just politely say, please include links for the historical accounts of which you mentioned. Thank...
What a silly idea. That'd be like if I nuked your country and after hunting down and killing whoever remained (in a hysterically unnecessary painful f...
Mods can- and often- split discussions into two separate threads when one avenue of thought seems to warrant (or would otherwise encapsulate an existi...
Ability to recognize, albeit primitively, base cause and effect, idea of time (past, present, and future), and how outside influences can and will aff...
There's a good metaphor that relates to elements in your post I've been made aware of. It's largely a theological musing however there are parallels t...
