The answer to the question "How do you get out of an Impasse?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgOVBiS9PaA Iocaine, i.e. step outside the issue. What ...

I won't speak for Streetlightx, but I'm talking about metaphysical frames here. Things like: Everything has a cause There is free will Objective reali...

I think applying the usefulness standard addresses the relativism criticism. If my way works, even in a limited context, then it's "right" when we are...

Aren't you talking about what is usually called "metaphysics," which R.G. Collingwood in "An Essay on Metaphysics" defines as "the science of absolute...

I've gone back through all the posts on this subject. I wasn't going to post because these discussions never seem particularly fruitful on the forum e...

Does your husband know you've signed up for a dating site?

I've always wondered about "et ux." That's who owns my house - T Clark et ux. It's not fair. Why can't I be the ux?

I'm just so fucking tired of talking about women and men. It's like a week straight. Seemed like a good idea when we got started. I'm ready to go back...

I'm done if everyone else is. As the guy who started this thread, I would endorse freezing it if you'd like. Up to you.

Strikes me that architecture is a mid-western kind of thing. It's social. It's art that expresses a sense of community. Midwesterners believe in worki...

I wasn't flustered. I was angry. If it were someone else who was being discussed that way, I would have been much more aggressive than I was. If women...

Well, I have no problem with the "big" and "hooha" parts. It's the "unnecessary" part that I question.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

I PMd Baden and told him I was going to start the thread and asked if he had any issues. He was online at that point. I guess he didn't have a chance ...

Boy, here's a bad idea for me to respond to this. But anyway. You all let him say those things about men. No one spoke up. I've always spoken up when ...

I respect your moderate and conciliatory tone. I might even agree with you in principle, but .... well....no. If I wrote about women the way Jake wrot...

Not sure I want you accolades in this particular situation.

I can't find the discussion. Looks like it was deleted. The fact that eliminating men from society was even proposed without it raising a ruckus was d...

That's fine, but I don't think that is what Jake was trying to do. I think his proposal was in earnest, although I don't think he thought it was possi...

I don't know what I would think on the subject if I thought women are oppressed by men. Here's the problem - oppressed people are not responsible for ...

Here we go again - yes, I do deny it. No, it is not obvious to me. I'd be happy to discuss it sometime, but that was not my intention when I started t...

I have to stand by my previously expressed opinion of the moderators, otherwise Baden won't cosign on the loan for my new car. Your take is much more ...

Which brings us back to the original question - is it ok to discuss this here on the forum?

You wrote: What does that mean? You haven't even defined your terms. Do you mean that women have the same relationship with men that residents of a co...

I really, really think Jake is really, really serious. Maybe I'm wrong. Hey, @"Jake", can you set things straight.

Look, you're making broad, meaningness statements and I'm giving useless, over-literal responses.

This is a moderated forum. We have pretty good moderators who try to maintain a balance between freedom of expression and stability and civility. If y...

It is my understanding that Jake's intention is that the program would not be voluntary. Women will not be allowed to mate with men. Men will not be a...

And yet I deny I am being unreasonable.

And yet I deny it.

I don't consider men to be oppressors. For that reason, I don't find the distinction you make valid. But yes, my suggestion is we make the language of...

The definition of "genocide" under international law includes forced sterilization.

Sorry, I was unclear. When I said "actual forum policy" I meant the policy as it is actually enforced, not as it is written.

So, you're agreeing with my summary of the actual forum policy as it is actually enforced . Good. Let's see if the moderators will go along. Maybe we ...

Ordered it on my Kindle. Ain't technology wonderful.

Someone else told me about this book recently. I don't remember if it was on this forum or elsewhere. This is something I've been thinking about, so I...

From what you've said, I feel more sympathy and responsibility for the people described in the article than you do. I don't mean that as a criticism, ...

I was writing about how what is going on in a representation - painting, story - has to match the model I carry around with me in order for it to work...

Made me think of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEZXCJS0Aro Another thought. Not sure if relevant. I carry a model of the world around in my mi...

I was surprised when I read Origin of Species by how well written it is. It felt like watching someone building a wall - brick by brick, fact by fact,...

My wife is partial to blue. /uploads/resized/files/tt/dkc5wy1llp4v6rpu.jpg

I think my favorite bridges are those old late 1800s early 1900s industrial looking ones. Here's a picture of the Pulaski Skyway in northern New Jerse...

I wasn't writing in support of Trump. I was only saying, as the article you linked to indicated, working class people are dying because we have let th...

For me, fantasies are needed when real is not available. Nothing is better than real. Fantasies are soggy paper. Real is well....real.

Really interesting. Disturbing. Puts the lie to those who sneer at people who voted for Donald Trump. We got what we deserved.

Seriously? Fantasy is better than the real thing? We're talking about sex, right? Nothing is better than the real thing.

Emotionally afraid as opposed to physically afraid. Afraid of cruelty, unkindness, withheld love and attention. Yes, in my experience, men are insecur...

Why all the hand wringing, rationalizing. TL has made it pretty clear she doesn't find it welcome. Does anyone interpret her response differently than...

I could make rational arguments for having children, but I think it is rare that people have children for rational reasons. My wife and I certainly di...

No, but if a significant percentage of the population have experiences similar to mine, it would probably have an impact. Is EQ emotional intelligence...
