It's more complicated than that. The most common situation in which legal tolerance are recognized occurs when a property is completely locked in by o...

To note : a "tolerance", in French Civil Law, is an acquired right that was once challenged but recognized to have been issued in the past, and on the...

What immortality? Germ-lines can become extinct like anything else.
April 20, 2018 at 04:05
Well, apparently, moments ago, you were talking about structural complexity requiring controlled death. So you aren't have the most coherent of conver...

Bloody hell, how fucking otiose can someone be???

There is a vast different between effective waste management and wholesale regulated systematic deregulation. The first one is just a necessary featur...

Well, yeah, but to be fair, so does all form of complex cellular life. All cells are susceptible to cell-suicide if they are exposed to the proper str...

Again, the fresh water Hydra is a sexually reproducing animal that is virtually immortal. And there are plenty of animals who'se cells show heightened...
April 20, 2018 at 00:17
One fact that is interesting is that most other Hydrazoa (the larger family to which the water Hydra belongs) have a latter state as a polyp. The Hydr...

Well, for the longest time, it was thought to be the length and substraction of the telomeres, small tubular "hair" located at the end of chromosomes,...

The Water Hydra is a little creeper that seemingly doesn't age at all. It's stem cell can apparently self-rejuvenate as needed without the cap to divi...

Why would a gun amnesty cut funds in education? I mean, it's not going to be free, but it certainly won't cost in the billions. How much trash is gene...

There is already a Relational Realism at least discussed by Jonathan Cohen, and its terms are completely incompatible with your radical nihilism, bein...
April 15, 2018 at 21:21
And to note, I kinda do agree that Philosophy courses are dominated by men (and mostly white men). In a specific way. Philosophy is like the reverse L...
April 15, 2018 at 20:13
Well, then, by your own premises you are definitely wrong. Biologically we are omnivorous, which should be evident by the fact that we are neither obl...

You may be unto something. "Courtoisie" in the context given, evoke to me "bourgeoisie" and it's connotation, which may have led me too far down a cer...

A united response, no less. Can only hope those missiles are "new" and "smart" enough to differentiate between innocent bystanders and goddamn wastes ...
April 14, 2018 at 02:42
I don't know how I feel about the idea that Humanities purpose was always to create a courtoisie class, or even that Humanities value cannot be expres...

Well, it's not like I don't have already a dozen institution who'se only purpose in life is to quantify my social and national usefulness. And the dis...

It bears repeating tho, that since bullet wounds are statistically a lot more damaging than blade wounds, even if all gun crimes were translated into ...

It's an "unfocused" anxiety specifically because its object has not made itself fully available to consciousness yet. Through introspective works, the...
April 09, 2018 at 03:24
Yes, because the feeling is quite obviously not the object of the emotion. Its object is the perceived but perhaps not thematized dynamic, which revea...
April 09, 2018 at 00:07
Ah, good catch, it certainly does. In fact, I think I overstated the "complete" part quite a bit. There isn't "Cinema et la nouvelle psychologie, "Le ...

It is not quite so clear at all. Of course you are free to subscribe to whatever theory of emotion and agency you wish to justify your theory, but I c...

Sorry, lost in translation. I took neurosis here to mean nevrose in French, which is just a general term for a (generaly mild) psychopathology. M-P ta...

By God's bloody hell are you ever this trite? Obviously, primary sources are necessary. You cannot fail to fail a paper on a subject if it doesn't at ...
April 07, 2018 at 22:07
It depends. You have to realize, from the start, that the mental events that Brentano and Husserl primarily interested themselves with where more of t...

I'm so sorry to hear this. Keep hope. You have our support.

Not in France, at least not as of right now. Louis de Bourbon is a full-blown reactionary who excuses Franco, and a Spaniard to boot. No way in hell h...

Just checking, the tuition cost for McGill University is 3.135 $. This might be per session, as we usually break it down per semester rather than year...

That is sad. Still, I can only hope that the 63-75 % Catholic majority will be able to hold against that rise in popularity.
April 01, 2018 at 03:54
Ah, no. Munoz and Protestant Evangelicals in Latin-America are not going to matter in the long run, becausethey are not Catholics. It'll just take a b...

Not a Catholic, so won't matter.

Funny enough, there are currently 3 different aspirants to the throne of France. And one of them is bald.
