To each other object. Space is, in such a metaphysic, composed entirely of relations between objects. Therefore, it could be argued that the objectual...

Better start stockpiling Gravol, or otherwise you'll drown in a sea of your own barf. Times, they are changing (in mini-skirts).

Such a great sense of retort. Such a mind of unfathomable depth. Truly, we philosophers are in good company here.
November 21, 2017 at 02:46
Do you have a legitimate issue that you could meaningfully engage by walking in the street naked? I mean, you mentioned MRA, so I could just assume th...

Got any example of this double standard?

Well, perhaps a larger part of the male population needs to learn how to express desire in a way that doesn't make girls want to gag?
November 21, 2017 at 01:00
To declare it as a loss, my guess would be.
November 20, 2017 at 00:21
No apologies needed, its obvious you did not intend anything else but well. ;)
November 20, 2017 at 00:06
Caricaturing natives doesn't really help them. I mean, I get that you mean truly well.

All this is time you could spend on writing your book, Agu. Worry less about lady's perky parts

I'll also have you know that it is legal for women to walk around in public topless in Ontario. Literally the only good thing about that shitty Provin...

Won't you think of the children?

Exactly. And on top of that, the markers that we used to identify "race" in humans do not have in any way the same level of consistency that we find i...

I wanted to give Henri a chance to redeem the OP. Once that ship sailed, I did flag quite a few troll posts. The rest is up to the mods to decide what...

This post's underlying narrative is that slut shaming is fine and should not be thematized as a gender issue. If that dissolve Western culture (which ...

Jesus fracking Christ, the hell is with you? This is the use I'm refering to:" If membership criteria are now to be watered down, because it is consid...

Well, I can't help you any more with your reading comprehension. If (...), that is (...) is not an hypothetical. It just states the cause.
November 19, 2017 at 03:56
You are good at affecting indignation when you realize you have little else in way of arguments.
November 19, 2017 at 03:51
??? Perhaps something is lost in translation, but " if (...), it is because (...) " is clearly a positive statement.
November 19, 2017 at 03:39
Yes, but when you say that dirt is dirty, I have no way of knowing if you refer to the concept "dirt" or the individual "dirt". Frege was clearly not ...
November 19, 2017 at 03:21
This is ridiculous. Race, because this concept is a fuzzy amalgamation of different traits, is simply not a useful term in modern biology. If it is no...
November 19, 2017 at 03:12
That you think "white" corresponds to a race, any more than "European", shows exactly why race should no longer be used as a concept. To be usable, th...
November 19, 2017 at 03:02
Race is then a heuristic concept ; it is because it is useful to refer to genetic predisposition that we refer to race. Better would be to simply deno...
November 19, 2017 at 02:10
Race as a category is useful for selection and breeding. As those concepts are not applied to human reproduction (unless you are gross), there are no ...
November 19, 2017 at 01:56
Again : can you provide a few examples of such arguments, and on what universal basis rationality can be said to be missing in these. Because, again, ...
November 19, 2017 at 00:53
This is a reductio ad absurdum from your argument. The move to necessitate the miraculous from the mundane leads us naturally to assume the errors of ...
November 19, 2017 at 00:21
Uh. Are you? Race denial is pretty freaking common nowadays.
November 19, 2017 at 00:03
Well, that's a reversal of your own argument about atheist. By the same principle that would warrant the acceptation of your statement, you should acc...
November 19, 2017 at 00:01
This is not an argument. This is an insult. No, because they do not constitute an argument. That is not an argument, that is an opinion, Then what are...
November 18, 2017 at 23:59
So, can you list some atheist arguments?

And, by the end of this post, you still haven't provided an example. Only more contentless ad hominem affirmations. It's people like you who gives us ...

You two need to stop talking about men so much. It hurts the site's Bechdel value.
November 18, 2017 at 19:24
This post, and the thread's OP exemplifies what I understand to be low quality posting.

that's fairly traditional if you're Bene Tleilax, tho.

A colour realist, someone who would say that "the rose is red" states a true fact about the object rose, would very likely say that a colour is a non-...

Thank you so much for putting the effort into it. (Y) So, I'm sure anyone should realize that 97.73/2.27 shows that, in some meaningful way, gender is...

You could replace "thing" with "variable" and the question still stands. However, you could resolve it by simply saying that "thing" is purely an obje...

Yes and no, because that would depend on what form your ontology allows properties to take. I could argue toward a very desolate ontology, where only ...
