You're granting exclusive censorship rights to owners of media platforms(which is to say that ownership is adequate reason to grant censorship rights)...

Do you think that people ought be held responsible for the effects/affects of their speech?

A good point to make...

You did answer "I do" earlier when asked if you found all censorship unwarranted. So, on pains of coherency alone... If all censorship is unwarranted ...

Yeah... omniscience is not required for knowledge. We need not know everything in order to know some things. Just because we do not see everything as ...

Not all individuals' speech is equivalent in it's power. The restrictions placed upon one's freedoms(speech notwithstanding) ought be determined in li...

When freedom of speech is being used to excuse deliberately defrauding the American public, it is an admission of guilt.

Good... because, when discussing a representative form of government such as the one The United States of America is supposed to be, a well informed e...

Well you'd better take that up with world around you, because it contradicts your belief about it.

The question doesn't lead to anything remotely useful. When we ask "why" someone votes for Trump despite all his lies, we will not likely receive an a...

The 2008 crash.

We call those politicians around here...

Which requires knowing which sorts of things we call "red"; knowing how to use "red". Such experience cannot rightfully be called "subjective" or "pri...

The 2020 president of The United States of America based his own policy making decisions and all of his public speech regarding a worldwide pandemic u...

I wouldn't characterize your having written that as "ironic". I'd say it was, is, and will forever remain self-contradictory, untenable, inconsistent,...

You're not getting it. I'm talking about how all things become meaningful.

Causality is not the sort of thing even capable of referring.

:brow: That's exactly what we're doing when we're talking about what's meaningful to her. Our awareness has meaning... for us, nonetheless? :yikes: We...

Nice examples of unwarranted censorship. Do you find all censorship unwarranted? Is it okay - on your view - to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre, for...

Not if black lives don't. Are you denying that what I've said is true, or are you just wanting to change the subject?

I hope that you play here. I like watching.

Whoosh!

The meaning of life is that life is used as a jail... ...used by some judge or another for punishment of our actions, protection of others from our ac...

I disagree. Language users can know when some statements are true or not long before they have a definition of truth or knowledge. That much is easily...

That's not what white privilege is. It's not an idea. It does not require being named. The name "white privilege" is used to pick out something that e...

I missed this. I completely disagree. If we replace "someone" with "a creature capable of attributing meaning" there is no distinction between being m...

If we attribute possible meaning to my cat... Can we be wrong? How could we possibly know that we are? What standard of comparison could we use as a m...

It is quite possible to do both, talk about the injustices/plight of poor whites while noting that even poor whites do not have to worry about being s...

White privilege is what white people do not have to deal with on a daily basis that non whites do. It is injury suffered because one is non white that...

Yes. My apologies.

I do not.

Yes, it was another who charged me with being racist. Have you looked at the link I provided? It's about privilege, and much of it is about the notion...

Did either of you have a look at the earlier link provided? Since I've been called a racist here, do I not get my speech protected? You know... the sp...

When she's thirsty she goes to the place where she drinks. She knows how to get there. If she found it empty, she'd go elsewhere. I'm suddenly reminde...

Leaves are elemental constituents of the process of raking leaves. A link of existential necessity. Where there have never been leaves, there could ha...

Are you suggesting that there is no such thing as rights afforded to any and all individuals simply because they are human?

This looks like of those times where the narrative gets meta and the authors lose sight of the ground. The very notion of possible meaning is existent...

'The' relation? As if we've only been discussing one. Clarity... please. :brow: There are a plethora of different relations between the aquarium and t...

The cat is neither you nor I.

Gotta love that one! :kiss:

I concur. The life sustaining role is not recognized by her for she does not have the language in order to be able to draw such complex correlations. ...

Not all things significant to the cat are meaningful to her. All things meaningful to the cat are also significant to her.

The aquarium plays a life sustaining role in my cat's life. Since water is life sustaining and the aquarium provides water, the aquarium is a signific...

Some things that make significant impact upon what happens next are not at all meaningful to the creature being significantly impacted. So, Significan...

There is a naturally occurring process by which all meaningful things become so.

I appreciate your saying that but I'm still stitching it all together, so to speak.

Damn. It looks like we have a respectful conversation happening. I appreciate that more than these words can possibly convey(pun intended :wink:). You...

And certainty too? My, my, my... Have a look at the link I offered above. My position is clear.

Oh dear, yet another person who doesn't know what racism is. Gawd help us.

I did.
