I'm sure Lone Wolf could handle the situation. She'd just call in an air strike and blow the guy's ass off. Stupid idea, serious point. I'm a man and ...

I went back and checked. That quote gives an accurate representation of the opinion you were expressing in the post.

This "paradox" is exactly the kind of artificial issue that much of Western philosophy is based on. I think a quote from the Tao Te Ching is relevant ...

People forget that unions gave American workers many of the positive aspects of work that we enjoy today - 40 hour week, benefits, health insurance, a...

Not to be pedantic, but the words "fear" and "afraid" have not been used in relation to women being afraid of men in this thread. Except by you and me...

Now Mongrel, don't be mean to Thinker. You know he didn't say women are afraid of men. What he and Augustino have been saying is actually worse.

I don't disagree with much of what you've said, but you either have not been paying attention or are being needlessly provocative. It is not obvious t...

I was going to write the same thing. I'm 65 and working part time, 20 hours a week. I've been lucky enough to work where I can do the things I love an...

"The feminine intellect..." Geez Loweez. "understands the give and take - the flow of the human dynamic." Aaaaah. "She knows it because she has the mo...

Again, you respond to my statement by referring to my personal characteristics and your interpretation of my behavior rather than the substance of wha...

And the creepy just keeps on coming.

That makes sense, although I am skeptical that many men have close relationships with women who they think are mostly gentle. In my experience, women ...

Here is another quote from earlier in this thread:

Again, insults instead of substantive argument. I know you'll just use this as another opportunity to call me stupid, but I don't get what you're tryi...

Here's what you wrote: How is that inconsistent with the quote I used. I didn't say you said all women are mostly gentle.

So, leadership is measured by how much money you make? I don't understand what you're trying to say. So we aren't talking about leaders, we're talking...

I'm fairly new to this website, so I don't know who all the personnel are yet. I guess I just expect that stupid, unsupported statements insulting to ...

And as Michael stated, and I agreed, that evidence is weak and illogical. So, only CEOs, presidents of countries, and generals are leaders? Here is th...

In my experience, statements like yours and Augustino's come from men who are resentful of women and who don't like them very much. As the saying goes...

I didn't realize you are a woman when I wrote that comment. I would have stated it differently, but it doesn't change the sentiment that I was express...

For better or worse, the Constitution specifically identifies the military as the responsibility of the federal government.

The subway stations have been renovated, rerenovated, and rererenovated since the early 1970s. I haven't noticed many bad odors, but the wheels still ...

I'll ask this again - Do you know any women? Are you married to one? Do you have or have you ever had a girlfriend?

Socrates had courage. Name me one poster on this website who has demonstrated courage in pursuit of the truth or anything else.

Are you married to a woman? Do you have a girlfriend? Have you ever had a girlfriend? Where did you get the idea that most women are mostly gentle?

This is almost as creepy as what Agustino was saying.

Discussions about Trump are way off post.

You're right, Michael. Mr. Augustino, please lay out some evidence of your position. As Michael notes, your logic so far is faulty. How about this - M...

So, if I disagree with you, that must be because I'm trying to be politically correct, as opposed to because I think you're wrong. It doesn't upset me...

Have you ever been to Boston? There is a place on the Green Line subway - Boyleston Street Station - where the train goes around a corner and makes th...

I have heard about blockchains but never knew what they were. Thanks for the lesson.

I don't think there needs to be any conflict between science and religion. I do think that the idea that science is somehow inaccessible adds to the b...

Kind of snotty. Snottiness can feel good, but it doesn't support your position.

You don't need formal training to understand how we come to have knowledge of our world, in scientific or non-scientific ways. If you want to talk abo...

Most science, from quantum mechanics, to thermodynamics, meteorology, paleontology, chemistry, and pretty much everything else is based on an understa...

That's a bold and unsupported statement.

You say "it's a category error." I say "no it's not, and here's why not." You say "I reject your explanation because you've made a category error." Th...

Of course it's debatable. I don't know what the rest of that statement means. Human beings are animals. Mammals. Homo Sapiens. Physical objects. Their...

Even realists or literalists, or whatever you want to call yourself, should recognize there is no direct experience of "the world as it really is," th...

You called it a category error, not me. As for "nothing more than a metaphor," all human ideas about the world are metaphors. As for personification, ...

I am not a cognitive scientist, so I will rapidly get in over my head. Here is a link to Wikipedia's write up on psycholinguistics. Look at the discus...

I think you and I are going around in circles. Probably a good time to stop.

You shur are a slippery feller. You keep changing the question. Here is the statement in question - "As poor countries become wealthier, Western count...

I don't think I'll have much to contribute to this discussion. Whatever you come up with and wherever you go, you should take into account the fact th...

For better or worse, in the eyes of many, including many Catholics, the Catholic Church has lost the authority to preach morality. The major cause for...

Your last post to me was a reiteration of your other posts to me. I've responded to it several times already. I think it makes sense for us to recogni...

I think the case can be made that the most fundamental of all rights is the right to own private property. It is the basis of all the other rights and...

What the court said is that there is a right to equal treatment before the law in regards to marriage. That's different from a right to marriage. Equa...

It's hard to take your arguments seriously when you write things like this.

Here's what I said in my original post on this subject - "Economic factors will have a much bigger impact on how things go in the future than religion...
