I disagree. If you've read all the posts in this thread, you can see it has had a strong effect on me. It's clarified what the word "beautiful" means....

Definitely not good. Not bad. Just a regular person. I do know several people I consider good though.

@"apokrisis" @"TimeLine" I don't want to restart the battle, but I'd like to know how much of what you've discussed is at least theoretically verifiab...

I've thought about this some more. I think you're right.

You don't like Xena, how about this. My least favorite Beatrix Potter book to read, but my favorite title. /uploads/resized/files/u1/uiuj1xo19wus68hp....

I just realized today is the anniversary of the march. And thank you. She wanted to get the Capitol in the photo, even if it meant only getting half o...

Yes. With my daughter.

Jesus Christ - you banned ProgrammingGodJordan more than a week ago. Would you please shut down "Belief (not just religious belief) ought to be abolis...

You’re reading just a little more into that than I intended. She is fierce. You are fierce. She is Australian. You are Australian.

You should consider some Australian women. http://postemaperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/xena-workout-diet.jpg

Different things work for different people. For many, most, saying snap out of it won't work.

My current favorite is "Drive as if your kids lived here." I always say you should keep your kids off the street as if I drove here.

Keep in mind that there are people who, because of who they are and the lives they lead, don't get it. They can stand outside our lives, maybe even th...

It never used to bother me until this: http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1512386.1384112488!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article...

Is it possible to do a search for a phrase rather than a word? Often, this is done by putting the phrase in quotes, but that didn't seem to work.

Not the same at all. Your sign says no parking here ever. Mine says no parking here between 11 and 7. That means parking here during other periods is ...

US society is really set up so that driving is hard to avoid. Public transit and rail have always been the poor stepchild of the transportation family...

Actually, parking is an example that's often used in relation to the phrase. A sign that says "no parking between 11 pm and 7 am" means parking is all...

If there is a rule that specifically says it's wrong to have sex with someone under 12, that means it is acceptable to have sex with them when they ar...

I had understood that the phrase means that an exception tests the rule, which is consistent with your understanding. Although that interpretation has...

Most places it's hard to work without a car.

I can't remember who on the forum it was who taught me the real meaning of the phrase "The exception that proves the rule," but I finally get to use i...

I wasn't trying to reopen the discussion, only pointing out that your opinions were consistent and reflect a particular understanding of the level of ...

This doesn't really answer your question, but I think it sets a baseline for evaluating political violence. It's from the US's Declaration of Independ...

That's ok with me, but all they get to drink is Manischewitz.

Well....hmm...well. I got nothing. We'll have to wait for TL.

Some of my friends call me "Clarky" when their intent is affectionate ridicule.

If I remember, Agustino also thinks the age of sexual consent should be 14-16. I think 18 for drinking makes sense. Maybe graduation from high school....

I have always liked the way people in the southern US can say "Y'all," to refer to mixed or unspecified groups. Up here in the northeast, we say "you ...

You can tell how old this is by the popular culture references - late 80s early 90s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycy15NUDZHM

It is my understanding that it is violence to call a woman a girl. Did you see "Is Calling A Trans Woman A Man (Or Vice Versa) A Form Of Violence?" I ...

What does it mean that something has propositional content? That it can be expressed in words? How about some examples with and without.

I should have used :-}. There is an infuriating thread going on called "Is Calling A Trans Woman A Man (Or Vice Versa) A Form Of Violence?" I was maki...

Hey, Baden. Rich is being bad again. I think his constant barging in to harass constitutes violence.

You became Princess Jasmine.

I wasn't saying that is was a simple situation. The opposite in fact. I was saying that, because it is so complex, the only way to simplify it in a me...

I know a young 18 year old woman. She has led a very unhappy childhood. She has a very hard time making friends. She lives deep in a fantasy world. Ju...

This probably says something negative about me, but the violence to grammar bothers me more than the sexual identify issue.

I am 66, so this issue has more or less immediate relevance to me. I admit it, I don't get it. I don't want to die now, but I don't want to live forev...

I went on the web and tried to find information about the murder rate for transgender people in the US. The stories were conflicting. One page said th...

Seems to me the only useful metric that allows any kind of comparison is death count, not number of conflicts. Are there good numbers for that? I thin...

Since this is a philosophy forum, a lot of very silly things get written. Some may actually be sillier than what you wrote, but I'm not sure.

Here's a definition of violence - Behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something. All the definitions I coul...

There's a general rule of human kindness - protect vulnerable people. There is no doubt that transgender people are very vulnerable and deserve protec...

My father lived in Melbourne for three years in the 90s. I was surprised when he told me how good the food is there and how seriously Australians take...

This was the first thing I thought of when I read the post. There are words that mean strong things, that can grab your attention, can move people. Wh...

Another way to look at it. If a war like World War II happened every 50 years, that would make 100 million dead per century. Humanity's power has incr...

This type of question shows up all the time in philosophy, science, and especially science fiction. Examples: Look over at the "Big Bang in a Larger-v...

This is intended as a serious response, even though the links I'm giving are to videos that are supposed to be funny. Is this what you're talking abou...
