Don't know how bad it is, but good luck. Vis-à-vis the storms and floods. And spiders too, I guess. Always spiders, man.

Replied to the wrong post. Nice wallpaper in that Noir picture. O:)

The gorgeous wallpaper!

Crimes involve a subjective and an objective aspect, a Mens Rea and an Actus Reus. In the case of assault (seperated from battery) : Definition : An a...

I guess I don't see how facts constitute entities (aside from the fact that they are intelligible in themselves) or how they are unique in regards to ...

I'm not going so far in my definition, but you are correct that it would be hard to see any other truth-value obtained from a state-of-affairs as 'fac...

Good. It's snowy out. We should all wear a good pair of boots.

This is old news. One of my geography teacher (yup, no clue why) back in highschool decided to spend an entire course explaining why every fairytale i...

I think this is the golden nugget of the thread. If 'fact' is a primitive, as I argued, then you can only demonstrate it's use, or refer to it in pure...

I offered a way out of this full blown denial. The fact that this way out is not a path we are capable of walking down the whole way is completely out...

As I discussed in a previous thread, 'race' as a scientific category only makes sense in relation to subjects of breeding. It doesn't apply to species...

This is so wrong this is good. It shows why "race" should be done away with. The simple fact that you are tempted to use "white" as a racial category ...

"In logic, the law of identity states that each thing is identical with itself. By this it is meant that each thing (be it a universal or a particular...

That's precisely what Epp means. That's what Leibniz underscored with his principle of the identity of indiscernables. You guys are refering to relati...

This. '2+2=4' doesn't seem to be anymore a fact in itself than '2+2' or '2=2'. It is a mathematical proposition, which means that it is dependant on m...

No, because 'the snow is white' is not ' "the snow is white" '. both 1) and 2) state the proposition as a fact, only 2) makes it explicit. We could di...

The point is that nothing else is added by stating that a proposition is a fact. Stating the proposition is already stating something as a fact.

What is the difference between : 1) The snow is white 2) It is a fact that the snow is white ... Could even go further and say 3) It is that the snow ...

Couldn't "fact" simply be a sort of ontological/epistemological primitive? Thus defying proper definition, or at least non-circular ones. Like a pure ...

Holy Jeebus, we gonna stay on this crap-sandwich of a subject all weekend?

Ah, sorry then, didn't want to put mouth in your mouth. :)

Anyone is entitled to their judgements. Those judgements might also just be terrible and slanted by a retrograde morality with an unhealthy emphasis o...

Women can dress in fishnets for however many reasons they can conjure. Perhaps they like dressing in fishnets. Perhaps they are going to a theme party...

I tried 3 pages ago. It does not sink. Children and golden-age crones are the most likely age categories to be abused sexually. Not because those todd...

I don't get this. White-Knighting might be a bit retrograde, might express a certain attitude toward women that is undesirable, but who would accept t...

Huh. Reductio ad mysoginia ...?

Canada is legalizing as of 18 July 2018. Each Provinces are responsible to set up their system of distribution and licensing. So here in La Belle Prov...

This is a political philosophy subforum. This is not a political philosophy issue. This is something that belongs in a blog. It does not invite philos...

This is a shoutbox. If you can't stand people replying to your idiocy, then stop showcasing it.

But apparently calling your fellow female students "slut" is the height of appropriate behaviour.

Get over yourself. You aren't a mod. This has exactly nothing to do with political philosophy.

4 out of the 10 last threads started by WisdomfromPOMO are about gender politics. Women also commit gun rampages. How women's sport is boring because ...

"I am a college student" should never be used to give any credence to an argument, especially not one about gender relations.

Honest question here : why the obsession with gender politics? The last 3 threads I've seen you start was clearly and specifically about it. This is a...

Wasn't that the first way of making gunpowder?

I guess that goes along the lines of "shame is not a true emotion"...? Never liked that idea. The first time I experienced shame in my life and rememb...

Which, I guess, explains why old grandmas are more at risk of sexual violence than strippers. Look, I know you held out because Baden told us to lay d...

You silly americans, Thanksgiving was over a month-and-a-half ago!

Can you distinguish meaningfully between the "work" of interpreting the information and the "work" of the information taken as instruction? I don't th...

I feel a better way of putting that would be that the physical has potential to be informational. I guess I can't see much of a point in pursuing this...

Texan confirmed!. :P

That was clearly an air pistol. I had exactly the same as a kid. Would shoot strong enough to hurt a pet, but the trigger was pretty hard to pull. Not...

If you are ready to exile yourself and learn another language, you can add to your chances of making a life's work out of your philosophy studies. A f...

That poor cat looks like it's living back 'Nam.

I tested 3 times over the course of the last decade. Got INTJ twice then INTP. I couldn't tell what it means. I guess I trust MBTI a bit further than ...

Richards is a screenwriter as well as an actor. The reason why that's not generally known is because he is a bad screenwriter. The Micheal RIchards Sh...

I guess, at least for me, it's because some art expresses character. If the best a humorist can retort to "you ain't funny" is "go get lynched", then ...

If your art is being funny, which is the case with Micheal Richard, and then everyone notices that the person is in reality very crude and unfunny, th...

Well, when someone's art is being funny, and then everyone realize that your a crude idiot with not much in the way of a sense of humour...

Study of the Black Notebooks as of 2014 shows that not only Heidegger held anti-semitic views, but that his views were fairly non-sophisticated (as fa...
