I believe he's trying to argue that because the citizens are not responsible for the poor state of their country it is wrong to assert that the poor s...

Well that's just unrealistic when at a nightclub.

I think it actually went: Me: Are you fun? Her: Yes Me: Adventurous? Her: Yes Me: Show me Her: How? Me: Kiss me

I don't think the UK rations out immigration "places" by country.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

I never voted for Brexit. Also, it was a one-off, so I'm not sure what you even mean by that question.

This doesn't really address the issue, which is a claim like "we don't want people from these countries coming here". To put it in comparison, after K...

And I wonder what that says about our respective values.

You don't ask a woman if you can kiss her. You ask her if she wants to kiss you. Or tell her that she can, if she wants.

The who?

This is such a nonsense question. Why would I want a particular number of people coming into (or not coming into) the UK? Also, what do you mean by "p...

So I assume we agree that "why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?" is a racist thing to ask, but just disagree on wheth...

I trust Durbin over Trump. Given that Scott confirms Durbin's report, that Graham hasn't commented in public, that two other Republicans haven't denie...

I think most reports are quoting him as saying “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here? We should have more people from ...

You just said "his recent comment wasn't ". How can you say that if you're now going to say that we don't what his comment was? I'm just going on what...

There's a difference between saying something like "that country is a shithole" and asking “why are we having all these people from shithole countries...

The last rule will be "ignore all previous rules", so it'll work out in the end.

Rule #8: Cavacava will not question my authoritah.

Rule #6: Banno will learn to post discussions in the correct category, else I'll delete them rather than just move them.

Russian Government Advances Plan to Test Blockchain Technology-Based Local Voting Systems.

I deleted them for low post quality.

I wrote a book called The New Testament. I've yet to reveal that it was an April Fools prank.

Nope, and yes.

Football, rugby, cricket, and athletics (mainly long distance running).

So I can't count it as profit, but I can count it towards my wealth? That's just splitting hairs. I was worth £X before I bought, I'm now worth £X + £...

I can get it for $131.02. I expect a finder's fee.

Oh, sorry, totally misunderstand what you said. I've barely slept in 3 days.

What I meant is that if owning X amount of some cryptocurrency which can be sold for £100 doesn't count as having £100, then surely owning X amount of...

Is it any different to owning shares (or really anything that isn't cold hard cash)?

He's pro-Trump because Trump is openly everything Agustino hates, rather than just secretly everything Agustino hates. Or something like that?

When and where in history would you say had the ideal (or best so far) culture/social values?

Another point to make; whatever's going on in my head when I suppose that I'm imagining the greatest being imaginable is the same whether such a being...

I wonder why people think that the right words in the right order can prove the existence of an all-powerful, transcendent, personal, creator god...

So let's take strength as one such trait. Am I stronger than Superman because I exist, or is he stronger than me because he's imagined to have the str...

What does it mean to be better? Better at what or in what way?

My profits are down from a few days ago, but I've still more than doubled what I put in, so there's that.

* Theological construct protect his cardiac muscle.

Explain to them the economic impacts of climate change?

Poll on the forthcoming software update: likes and reputations

The old forum wasn't phpBB. It was WSN Forum (and this one is PlushForums). It was sold to a company that many of us didn't trust, and the prospect of...

:) That's exactly what this discussion is for (from the old site). Tiff explicitly said "taken out of context" (as far as I can remember).

A Google search for define:free gives "able to act or be done as one wishes; not under the control of another.". It seems to me that this is consisten...

It might be interesting to look at an incompatibilist argument for free will from here: A. Any agent, x, performs an act a of x's own free will iff x ...

I don't understand the question. Because of a deterministic causal chain, a damn has been built, preventing the valley from flooding. No, that would b...

The compatibilist probably wouldn't phrase it like that. They'd say "if the will is the cause of our actions then we have free will". In talking about...

You seem to be taking a very overreaching and pedantic interpretation of my claim. First, it was in response to jamalrob saying "even if you're good a...

Firstly, you seem to conflate determinism and physicalism. You can claim that the universe is just bouncing particles without claiming that they do so...

I've deleted that stuff for being off-topic.

Just so you know, only @"jamalrob" and @"Baden" can see/restore deleted stuff.
