If G is false then "this math sentence is false or provable in T".

That one's will determines one's actions. Whether or not one's will is determined is irrelevant (to the compatibilist). As Schopenhauer said, "Man can...

How so?
January 03, 2018 at 09:57
Are they? Neither has said anything remotely like that. ChrisH certainly hasn't voiced an opinion on euthanasia, and the closest andrewk has come is s...
January 03, 2018 at 00:08
Did either or them claim that they could?
January 02, 2018 at 23:49
I'm not seeing it. ChrisH said that he didn't find Stella's argument compelling and both andrewk and ChrisH said that Stella can't speak for those for...

3.99% to buy/sell BTC with debit card. 0.25% fee to exchange BTC for other currencies. And no, I haven't sold yet. No point for just £60. I'm going to...

$81.32, actually. £60 in real money.

So far I'm up 60%. Shame it took so long for me to get approved, as a work colleague who managed to buy in earlier is up 1000%.

There's a difference between saying that someone doesn't have a right to speak for someone else and saying that someone doesn't have a right to speak....

Huh. Turns out the whole investigation started with Papadopoulos getting drunk and telling some Australian diplomat about the Russians having dirt on ...

In: Migration  — view comment
Migration is responsible for human habitation outside of Africa. I don't know what reasons one could have for thinking it immoral.

How many is abuse? In terms of executive orders by year, he's 23rd. In terms of total, only 6 8-year Presidents had fewer (with 11 having more). Seems...

I think for the most part the ideological differences between Democrats and Republicans are too extreme for bipartisanship to happen on a lot of issue...

Obama’s Top 50 Accomplishments Edit: Just noticed that this was in March/April 2012, so this isn't even all of his first term.
December 24, 2017 at 14:34
Nah, think I'll hate the player and the team.
December 23, 2017 at 23:26
I don't see the connection between being a good politician and convincing enough of the right people to vote for you. Propaganda and a cult of persona...
December 23, 2017 at 23:10
I'm sure most U.S. Presidents believe in American exceptionalism. Obama did. Putin criticized him for that, with Trump actually coming to Putin's supp...
December 23, 2017 at 15:26
My citations were about how Trump is opposing the Constitution, contradicting your claim that Trump respects and is willing to uphold it.
December 23, 2017 at 14:48
No I'm not. That's why I questioned Posty McPostface's claim that Trump is a good politician. I don't understand how he can actually believe that. He'...
December 23, 2017 at 13:58
Again, I have no idea how this is supposed to show that Trump respects and is willing to uphold the Constitution.
December 23, 2017 at 13:56
I have no idea what you're trying to say here. The facts are that Trump has said things and is trying to do things that are very much against the Cons...
December 23, 2017 at 13:55
So first you say that Trump respects and is willing to uphold the Constitution and when I show you examples of where he doesn't, you try to defend him...
December 23, 2017 at 13:51
Also an article here about Trump's anti-Constitution talk. And there's the stuff that potentially violates the Emoluments clause.

For starters, there's this:

You must be joking.

Not true. The Tunisian dinar has 0.001 units. Other countries had such units until relatively recently.

Trump isn't one of them. You actually believe this? Why?
December 22, 2017 at 22:09
And there are good reasons for that hate. Whereas your support of him is just unfathomable.
December 22, 2017 at 14:53
You're right. He is a gangster. He's buddy-buddy with the mafia. He's also a liar, a hypocrite, a moron, a narcissist, a child, ...

I have a dog.
December 22, 2017 at 11:37
Or I can just avoid the USA.

Like I have a choice in the matter. The cat ain't staying in.
December 22, 2017 at 11:16
So a taxi.
December 22, 2017 at 10:03
My cat was the same. I refused to feed him outside so now he's forced to come in for food. He sleeps inside during the winter, but come summer he'll d...

Google was right. Was Horner's syndrome. Vet doesn't know what caused it but says it might get better on its own. Just gotta keep an eye on him. Pun i...
December 22, 2017 at 10:00
What's that?
December 22, 2017 at 00:05
Looks like it's Horner's Syndrome, based on the expert that is Google. Aside from the eye, he seems fine. Unfortunately it's 11:00pm and I don't drive...

My cat's just come in and his eye is all fucked up. :s

Virginia election now tied after GOP challenge
December 20, 2017 at 20:23
Democrat Shelly Simonds wins Virginia House seat by 1 vote. So 1 vote can make a difference.

People might feel no moral obligation even if morality were objective. You seem to conflate morality being objective with people believing that morali...
