They most certainly can, as can any medium. It's just that the more popular games are the game described by the opening poster, @"gurugeorge". There i...

You are going to tell me to study egg anatomy more even though you don't know why yolk is off limits? It is a gamete that is why. The white is not. Su...

You can eat the egg white, which is equivalent to the endosperm in seeds, but not the egg yolk. Not to mention we can synthesis to supplement those pr...

It is not considered part of the plant. That is why it is called a fruit, as it does no harm to the plant if picked properly. It is not advisable for ...
June 01, 2018 at 05:58
Yeah. I should of quoted the section and it would have been clearer. I was referring to dual aspect theory. It is even more convoluted than the dualis...

I feel like my criticism was off and not worded properly. I meant to say that the current world is housed within the materialism of the 20th century. ...

Perhaps he is decrying the fact that the future developments in the understanding of the mind is ASSUMED to fit within a materialist structure. There ...
May 30, 2018 at 15:36
This is an interesting topic and I thank your for your thoughts but I feel one of your criticisms for materialism is a little off. While I won't argue...
May 30, 2018 at 15:17
Not if you plant the seeds. It is possible to survive on fruit alone, it is just more difficult ( and not advisable for young people ). Huh. Thought a...
May 30, 2018 at 12:48
Well, if you look at human and ask that question it should be clear what the difference is. For the other parts of your comment I would suggest we jus...

XD By being I meant... What does being a murderer or gay person or anything have to do with the arguments you make? haha That was terrible on my end.
May 29, 2018 at 20:42
Really well put. I was thinking something similar. Why does being anything have to do with the arguments you make? In response to @"Posty McPostface"....
May 29, 2018 at 20:19
No, because eating the deer is intentional making it wrong. The killing was accidental, just like the insect flying in your mouth was. I never claimed...
May 29, 2018 at 19:21
Well first of all, it would have to be intentional. So that example wouldn't be. XD But, yeah. I meant it in a general sense. You can avoid eating pla...

You cannot prove that the plant "wants" either in the same way you can't prove that the animal "wants". You are adding on to it your human feelings to...
May 28, 2018 at 08:22
As @"Tomseltje", mentioned above, many animals don't "want" either or have the ability to do any of the things you mentioned. I want to know why you p...

Plants are not rocks though. They reproduce. They function in all of the same ways as a meat based organism does, but without the nervous system. And ...

Of what ideology? The USSR and Communist China were state capitalist. None of their economic or social ends were communist ( as Marx described it), no...
May 27, 2018 at 05:22
Most of the time. haha It still takes a lot for a person to be willing to engage with people you know will start throwing the second you challenge the...
May 26, 2018 at 20:32
I just read your argument after typing mine. XD Apologizes if I echoed the last part of your comment. I agree with with your points though! : )
May 26, 2018 at 20:18
First of all, why does it matter that plants can't suffer? Why does that entail the forfeiture of their existence to us or other organisms? A few out ...
May 26, 2018 at 20:15
What problem is there to be solved though? It is rather peculiar to me that our need for acceptance, remembrance, meaning also coincides with what is ...
March 23, 2018 at 06:04
The fact that we don't give other humans the rights list above by above should tell you how "universal" they are. Humans have colonized other humans w...
March 23, 2018 at 05:49
But it was already determined that those examples of "communism" were far from what Engels and Marx described. So putting it on "communism" in the cas...
March 19, 2018 at 04:31
FINALLY. Someone mentions it. Thank you. It was State Capitalist, yet everyone says it was a failure of communism. Most of the confusion with the word...
March 18, 2018 at 04:55
Yes. Whenever you have the time. : ) Good luck with your exams! : D Unfortunately, I cannot. Mainly because it would we a long-winded summation by any...

Exactly. The same is true of homosexual individuals brain structure.
March 15, 2018 at 16:19
Don't link to each other? Biased towards the "cis" gender side? What does any of that mean? The last two studies are just reaffirmations of the first ...

This is a twin study about trans twins that are dizygotic vs monozygotic twins. http://www.hawaii.edu/PCSS/biblio/articles/2010to2014/2013-transsexual...
March 13, 2018 at 19:46
I believe I already addressed this. Gender is a social construct so it is the interplay of "being born" with the tendency towards being confused about...
March 13, 2018 at 19:35
hahaha. That's pretty great. Thank you for inspiring me. : D In response to the opening poster. Gender is social constructed and therefore maliable. B...
March 13, 2018 at 05:29
Good points. Don't really have any contentions with what you said. But I would like to add that, the issue is that the prejudice against them is proba...
March 13, 2018 at 01:08
It is definitely "real" in the sense that there are people that think they are not expressing their personalities through the gender they are currentl...
March 12, 2018 at 23:25
I was always wondering how to approach this topic without being accused of being trans-phobic. I feel bad that people (including yourself) have to dea...
March 12, 2018 at 05:52
I wise I could make this statement into a billboard. lol People are always so ready to discredit experts just because it fits their narrative. On all ...
March 06, 2018 at 06:12
I see what you did there. :wink: Yeah. Really interesting stuff to put it like lightly. And for the second part.... Fear can be a really powerful thin...

Referendum 1991, 1994, 2014. Those hastily staged ones? You mean the other referendums that were tried for but were denied outright by the Ukrainian g...

Robert Michels said that all democracies, no matter how complicated, eventually become oligarchies because they eventually control the means of inform...
March 05, 2018 at 06:05
Yes. Unfortunately he does. He just really wants Russia back to prominence and sees NATO as the biggest threat to that.
March 05, 2018 at 05:36
True enough. I have been watching a lot of television over there recently and the one thing I noticed is the oversaturation of American culture (Ameri...
March 05, 2018 at 05:34
You do understand that was Russian land right before Ukraine absorbed it, right? You are attributing me a propaganda group of the Russian side, when I...
March 05, 2018 at 05:20
From a Russian perspective they see America as an adversary. (as they should) The Warsaw pact fell apart and NATO has reached all the way around Russi...
March 04, 2018 at 05:44
I moreso doubted the time it would be necessary to create differences and that there were some form of mixing even in relatively isolated regions. But...

If you've seen Murray and Harris talk you'll see that there is a difference between bringing up the findings he found and being racist. I think the or...

Feel for the switch? I didn't say it ruled out the effects of nurture, in fact, I think it is still the most important part of determining intelligenc...
March 02, 2018 at 10:30
Thank you for the link to the study. I thought it was just an article about the studies to be done, not that actual studies have been done already. Ne...
March 01, 2018 at 23:47
I mean to say that it doesn't matter in the end. That these slightly difference between individuals is not significant enough to attribute to one race...
March 01, 2018 at 04:40
Awwwwww... : ( I'm sorry for your loss!! What breed were they? : (
March 01, 2018 at 03:33
I'm talking about that fact that there are no differences between the races. When I studied neuroscience I didn't have a section labeled "black brains...
March 01, 2018 at 03:28
How does that make any sense? How would a brain that is anatomically no different and still classified as modern human be any less or more intelligent...
