What on earth? It's purely a matter of sensible definition, and rightly so. If it is not the case that a representative form of government, say... lik...
Workers' rights had to be established because too many 'employers' treated workers horribly. You are suggesting that we go back to that, or at the ver...
These two men cannot be allowed to retain the power to directly influence so many people's lives over which they do not have sufficient concern for; p...
Grant that the president wanted to root out corruption. Now, someone... somewhere... arguing on behalf of the president tell me... What is the excuse ...
If they did it... why can't I? If what they did was wrong, then so is what I've done... He's brilliant at making his own case, that's why everyone res...
In a system that is clearly broken in some important respects, it takes more than politicians. Afterall, we already have a bunch of politicians sittin...
That's one of the best relevant summaries I've recently read concerning the conflicts of interests between corporate/business entities and the labour ...
Not just behaviour... belief. Discussion is how it's started, about universal morality. Universally held/shared moral beliefs... regardless of that wh...
Abolishing the identity of a group... whatever that means... does nothing at all to help end male chauvinism, racism, sexism, ageism, etc. Abolishing ...
End racism. What on earth could be wrong with that as a goal? So, rather than end racism, you are advocating making everyone suffer from it? 'Misguide...
So... The reactor looks like a globe atop a squat obelisk. It cannot be gotten near when it is on and producing this - never before seen by anyone asi...
You knew I was off base earlier... that I had not correctly understood the work situation. I had thought all along that that someone who said the cont...
It would look exactly like the right kind of effort. It would result in less people being suspicious of everyone. It would make it virtually impossibl...
With practical matters that have little or no relevance to moral ones, sure. If one wants to do X, and doing X requires doing A, B, and C, then X 'jus...
The notion of not being able to place one's hands near the reactor(due to 'gravitational waves') contradicted all the later talk about 'placing' the s...
A different kettle of fish. Don't think that that counts as racism. Fairly common in the military. They all have nicknames for one another. Terms of e...
Will people always devalue other humans based upon insufficient evidence and irrational reasoning? Probably. That doesn't mean that we ought not do ev...
That's not a worry of mine. My worry is that the root problems underlying racism will continue unabated if we approach this with the same fallacious t...
I'm curious. I've not watched the link you offered on the moon landing, although I've read a number of different people's writings on it as well as wa...
The easiest way to avoid any issues revolving around white privilege and/or the residual effects/affects of systemic racism is to do more than just pa...
Yeah... Hopefully, they will take a few months or more to actually do a bit of research and consultation with the right sorts of people, and perhaps h...
Only for those folk who already think in fallacious ways... all white people... all black people... etc. The beginning of ending racism must include a...
I don't buy that reasoning at all. It's akin to saying that simply because one talks in terms of different races, that one absorbs racist tendencies, ...
There is a very very real argument to be made about such white people who take it on themselves to express what they view to be the problem and what t...
How about we 'persecute' the right people... and those, like myself, will be glad to join in. Persecute me for things that other whites have done and/...
That's too bad. I've quite a large number of black friends, loved ones, and family members who find it rather odd when white people act more offended ...
I would hope not. :yikes: However, I have witnessed otherwise professional minority women, profess much the same view. "Anyone other than another old ...
Underwriting all of this discourse are categories. Different folk employ different ones. It leads to all sorts of confusion as well... misunderstandin...
I knew this topic would eventually result in talking about minds... horribly so. :brow: The subject/object dichotomy cannot be used as a means to take...
All morality is the codified rules governing ones behaviour, and as such all morality consists of that which is considered acceptable and/or unaccepta...
Kennedy stood for equal rights. Many others in American government at the time did not. Hoover has been recorded talking about his own serious issues ...
It's not just speculative bubbles. I'm referring to the financial agents who created financial instruments as a means to leave those depending upon th...
The one issue I have with nearly all explanations of powerful people taking advantage of powerless is talking in terms of "rich" and "poor". Not all r...
I've seen no good reasoning and/or evidence to believe any of the alternative explanations for 9/11. I've seen and heard plenty to believe that those ...
So, the label "conspiracy theory" has a negative connotation such that calling an explanation of events/history by the name implies that it just ought...
So... re-instate the puppet government? WTF??? A liberated country would not have been led by a propped up leader not chosen by the people. Hence, the...
So... ignore American protests to American problems as the president? WTF??? This presupposes that the westerners are not protesting injustice and tyr...
Talking in terms of probability is nonsense here. A true explanation is one hundred percent correct, regardless of whether or not it has been dubbed "...
