I haven't been around long, just found the site recently, but I would suggest, that even though it has been a short period, the quality of the respons...
Ok. That was more clear. I will politely disagree with you on the origin of ethics, not the word per se, as I have not looked that up, however, ethics...
Is this clear to you? Maybe it's the nightshift, but while it sounds pretty enough it lacks clarity in spades. Break it down for me eh. Exactly how do...
Empathy allows me to relate more to you (or someone else) based on my ability to see things from the other's perspective and feelings (which kind of m...
All land, everywhere, was under previous ownership. Just the way it is. Someone was there before, and someone will be there after, in the meantime we ...
I thought Hamas was a terrorist group. As such it would make sense that they do not follow the laws of war (which is, in itself, an entertaining conce...
I will not assume the motivation of the Israelis, however, by striking non-military targets they are either absolutely terrible at properly aiming the...
Not to split hairs, but one dies for honour, dignity, altruism, etc. Generally one is not killed for them. Killing is more of a retribution, or lazy, ...
I think being killed for any reason is less than desirable, which was my point. Your response suggested that the reason for them being killed was what...
The most difficult aspect, or at least, most frustrating aspect, of attempting to extricate oneself from a society in which one is found is that eithe...
Based on the readings I have done I would suggest that power, wisdom, and knowledge are far from recent acquirements and that the concept of Atlantis,...
Death is the end of my animation of this body. The body itself will decay. The force that had been animating it will transition elsewhere, there, as b...
Atlantis worked out so very well for them. If we go that route then I support ending in much the same fashion. "Your scientists spend so much time won...
people are fond of self deprecation. It plays into the woe is me perspective. Also, if someone is insignificant, it lets them off the hook for having ...
I think human life is no more special than any other life. Saying every human life has value is poorly thought out. Every mosquitos life also has valu...
I am not concerned with death. She is an old friend that will call on me as she chooses. When she does, I will hold her hand and walk through that doo...
But why do you believe that? I do not. The thermometer may corroborate something I already believe, as will seeing buddy walk by in, what I believe to...
Size is irrelevant. Consider: The coronavirus is tiny. Despite this, it has, through direct and indirect (plague and panic), effectively changed the a...
it isn't actually. The "paper" as you call it isn't overly clear. It is also based on an assumed premise and once that premise is removed, the paper f...
First problem: your autonomous moral code theory is still voluntary. Animals, including people, do not always save their young, neither do we necessar...
No, not really. Unless you mean as a bad example. Something you can point out to others as a "Something to strive to never be like", then....still goi...
Not reaching at all. As men are interpreting their "version" of what God intends (the existence of God is irrelevant since there is no direct interven...
you could do either. I suspect the results will be less than ideal, based on your understanding of physiology, but hey, don't let that stop you. Have ...
Your version of shock is amusing, astoundingly inaccurate, but entertaining. The digestion system will slow to crawl, the peripheral circulatory syste...
Can't say that I need the luck, but thanks anyway. The end of your discussion was, unfortunately, predictable. I would like to debate with a "pro-life...
I am for personal autonomy. You make your decisions based on your values; I can respect that. I make mine based on mine. As we are not each other, you...
I completely agree: huge difference between a head shot and turning off the machines. The headshot is relatively instant and as such, much more humane...
I think they do pick up on the "take it or leave it" attitude. Once they realize you are not vested in their belief, they believe you as you having no...
Did you know it was a lie when you wrote it? or did your understanding increase over time such that, in hindsight, that which you wrote in good consci...
I will take the 100 million. Easy choice. Notice the scenario: Buddy is tied to the tracks, not lying across them unconscious; presumably he has been ...
Argument: conception is the result of the sexual act, therefore, abortion is morally wrong, despite the intentions of those who engaged in said act. C...
Not sure about the youngish. Not humanities educated, not nerdy in the traditional sense. Think delinquent. My understanding of the current political ...
Again, I see what is. We are not worth saving, period. If things had been different...blah, blah, blah, pointless discussion. If I weren't me and if w...
I am going to a full dementia comparison on this one. So the fully involved dementia patient is solidly in their own created reality; they see the lit...
I understand what you are proposing. The feasibility of it has yet to be determined, clearly you have looked into it far more than I have so I cannot ...
my main problem is that I see what is. Not what could be, what was, what might be, etc. All the possibilities are grand, and very easy to get caught u...
I agree with your position completely. Although, admittedly, I also agree with your second statement. I have responded on occasion with what would be ...
The medical community, model, corporation (whatever name you want to call it) is not trying to harm you, it is also not overly interested in helping y...
I remember working hospitals that were at 115% of bed capacity 10 years ago. Treating patients in the halls, or large janitor closets. Moving furnitur...
