An appeal to motive isn't a good rebuttal. Republicans share the same desire to obtain power at all costs. What matters is whether or not there really...

Let's hope that @"Hanover"'s vote for Abrams wasn't discarded.

Really? I’ve seen it lots of times. Here's some just from today: If the Republicans Win Tuesday, the Reason Will Be Simple: They Cheated 'Crisis for A...

Didn’t Nixon say something to the effect that if the President does it then it’s not illegal?

The real difference between Democrats and Republicans.

Mania isn't being positive and upbeat, just as depression isn't being sad. Mania definitely isn't something anyone would want in an employee (or in th...

Sure they do. Here's my girlfriend. https://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/alita-battle-angel-anime-eyes-2_fox.jpg?quality=95&w=650&h=522

The rationale behind requiring the father to contribute is that it's best for the child. It might not be "fair" to the father to have no say in the ma...

In honour of Halloween, here's a drawing of Jack Skellington and the Corpse Bride. /uploads/resized/files/sh/hz8id4wt0m1zqdbo.jpeg Lips are still givi...

The problem here is that you're thinking like a single pecker, whereas us double peckers have a better maths than the rest of you.

It's basic maths. If there's a 50% chance of it raining at 5 and a 70% chance of it raining at 6 then the average chance of it raining at 5 or 6 is 60...

Supporting the death penalty in the U.S. isn't new.

So some other cat is wearing the skin of the earlier taxidermy cat? Creepy. But then it is almost halloween. It's a clever costume.

My superhero name.

This isn't the place for philosophy, dammit! Take it outside. ;)

You wear one on your top penis and one on your bottom penis so that if one breaks you're still protected. It's basic biology, man.

What? No; one on each. Duh. :brow:

You have to wear two in case the first one breaks, just like with sex.

Or like AIDS.

What does not kill me makes me stronger.

I am so confused. Was there an actual comment you want me to delete, and if so which one?

Alright. Shall I just pick a post at random or was there a particular one you had in mind? ;)

Yes. Bribe jamalrob or Baden into letting you be a moderator. Then you can delete posts. And not just your own!

Why? That has nothing to do with what I'm saying, which is that I can draw correlations and connections between a sign/symbol and something to become ...

Here's my improvement. Day 1 /uploads/resized/files/d4/nanw9evc8ohku4o9.jpeg Day 12 /uploads/resized/files/qt/gb3en5y2e884wtzo.jpeg

It’s probably a taxidermy cat.

This is like saying that one universe is not a plurality of things. The mind isn't just some single, indivisible thing. My thoughts are distinct from ...

No, because as I said here, a "plurality of things" does not entail a "plurality of external things". The different kinds of experiences that a solips...

It's not my job to defend your argument.

What would happen then if, say, a Democratic Congress and President were to pass a law that banned private gun ownership? Without the Supreme Court ru...

I think it's better categorised as a straw man than as equivocation.

I am discussing those outlines by questioning its antecedent. Imagine if I were to offer this argument: If my existence depends on solipsism being the...

I'm going to draw you. Then I can blame the source if it looks bad.

'Fraid not. Just whatever web archiving sites there are like the one you mentioned.

It was an honest mistake. Your post read as "TWI was saying my post was theology not philosophy" rather than " I was saying my post was theology not p...

Nobody knew human biology could be so complicated.

If this is all you mean by "plurality" then it doesn't "negate" solipsism. The different kinds of experiences that the lone individual has is the plur...

I asked you to defend this claim and your response was just that you're convinced by what you know. That's not an argument.

I started to learn to draw on Sunday. It's been 5 days and I'm still shit. It's infuriating. How can copying someone else's lines be so damn difficult...

This seems to be a good study on the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Abstract: The Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center is a joint-venture nonparti...

Where?

So you don't have an argument to support your claim that there is an external world. You're just convinced that there is one?

So you're saying that the existence of my thoughts require the existence of other things (other thoughts?) Why?

When I say "it is a fact that all dogs are mammals" I am saying that the proposition "all dogs are mammals" is a fact. Why does it provide more clarit...

Can’t it be both? Words can have more than one meaning. “It is true that” and “it is a fact that” seem to be saying the same thing, so the thing which...

I asked before and I don’t think you explained, but what does it mean to be “existentially dependent” on something?

I'm accepting creative's claim for the sake of argument that a thing is an illusion only if that thing exists (somewhere else) and showing that his ar...

No, I'd just say that the cat is on the mat and the cup isn't in the cupboard. Might stretch to say that it's a fact that the cat is on the mat and th...

They weren't conclusions. They were the skeptic's response to your claim "if there is such thing as an illusion of an external world, then there is an...

That the fact that the cat is on the mat obtains just is that there exists the cat and there exists the mat and the cat is positioned on top of the ma...
