The question is whether or not this independent world can be said to contain cups. Some will say that it is wrong to reduce experienced objects like c...

If Lee is good compared to Hitler then Lee is good compared to Hitler. You can't leave out the compared to Hitler qualification. If Lee is bad compare...

They're not. There are more fools than I have friends. That's a fact. Therefore not all fools are my friends. There are more fools than I have foes. T...

By rejecting one or more of the premises. No it doesn't. No it doesn't.

You initially qualify Lee as good compared to Hitler but then leave out that qualification when claiming that he's both good and bad. This is conflati...

And atheists might be right, in which case meaning-of-life questions are category errors. That theists have different founding assumptions isn't that ...

According to this, there are "53 societies outside of the classical Himalayan and Marquesean area that permit polyandrous unions"

Furthermore, your claims are ambiguous. When you say that someone is a friend, are you saying that they're my friend or that they're someone's friend?...

A, B, and C can't all be true, as that entails a contradiction. If your premises lead to a contradiction then one or more of your premises are false. ...

If we know that E) Some fools are foes and that F) Some fools are friends then we know that the premise "All fools are friends" in argument 1 is false...

It has everything to do with being the President. If Trump and Pence become incapacitated then Paul Ryan will become the President, despite not having...

This is false. See the United States presidential line of succession.

No it isn't. Nothing in being the President logically entails that one won the most electoral college votes. Having won the most electoral college vot...

"He could only be president if he won the most electoral votes" is a premise.

That's an additional premise, as I've said. Without that premise the conclusion doesn't follow.

That fact is incidental to the meaning of the sentence "Donald Trump is the President". The argument "Donald Trump is the President, and so therefore ...

P1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause; P2. The universe began to exist; C1. Therefore, the universe has a cause. P3. If the universe has a cause, t...

This might be true, but then it's also true that "Donald Trump is the President" does not logically imply "Donald Trump won the most electoral college...

What about all fools? Some might be your friend, some might be your foe, and most will be complete strangers. You're not making any sense.

I have. That's why they're your former girlfriends.

No, because it's not the same fool. The friend fool isn't the foe fool. You might as well argue that it's a paradox for a friend and a foe to both be ...

I liked Sophie's World, and couple of the others by Jostein Gaarder.

You haven't read all of the Bible?

But can you see something that isn't there? If someone were to tell me that they saw me in London yesterday then I would be quite right in saying that...

But "is a fiction" is a predicate, yet fictional things don't exist. I wonder if perhaps there's conflation between the existential quantifier in logi...

Well, there's this. WISDOMfromPO-MO is accusing people of being inflammatory against monogamous sex, and Agustino is claiming that monogamous sex is b...

Well, what does it mean to exist? If, for example, to exist is to have a location in space, and if having a location in space is a predicate then exis...

Let's say that to be true is to refer to a fact and to be false is to refer to a fiction. The liar sentence is then "this sentence refers to a fiction...

Perhaps we could approach the liar paradox (which isn't Russell's paradox, as fishfry has mentioned), by first providing an account of what it means t...

You're not missing much anyway.

We've been together for three and a half years. Catch up. I was saying "same" to preferring muffins, not to not understanding the difference. ;)

Same. Whereas my girlfriend likes cupcakes but not muffins. It's very inconvenient.

I doubt they're business partners any more. I seem to recall the other guy saying he pushed for the purchase. $20k (?) down the drain.

Here's what I think will happen. Trump will fire Mueller. The Republicans in Congress won't do anything. The conservative-led Supreme Court will rule ...

Of course I remember. It was me, duh.

She'll release them when Trump releases his tax returns and Hanover releases his menagerie of lady boys.

I see you and I raise. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-95OyxQFm_Hw/VgqlO9hNAbI/AAAAAAAAt7g/4W-1m7nuB_o/s1600/crocodile%2Bshoes.jpg

A stipulative definition can't. A lexical definition is if it fails to describe how the word is actually used.

Apparently Trump has been asking about his powers to pardon himself, his family, and his aides, so it looks like there's certainly something for Muell...

No Facebook friends.

I don't have any.

Touch choice. Fairness or consistency... How about add a "Fave books" or some such just to make it a complete mess?

Fine. Then you might as well change "Favourite quotations" to "Favorite quotations".

In the biography section, it asks you to state your "Favorite philosophers". Can we Englishize (i.e. correct) this to read "Favourite philosophers"?

So what you're really asking is "which is creepier, Hanover or Tiff?"

I Googled "mosesquine".

I seem to recall him saying he got his degree in Seoul? Edit: Yep.

"Are we all leather shoes in a black man's closet?"

"Are we all in the closet?"
