If you are claiming that there are external forces that act upon an individual against their will, I absolutely agree. If you are saying that an indiv...

So your theory is that the mind is the universe. Way to explain nothing. Care to expand on that or no?
June 05, 2025 at 21:19
Also, for those claiming that the mind is physical: where is it, how big is it, and if, as you claim, it is physical, how come it does not fill up ove...
June 04, 2025 at 22:33
Not al all. Lots of things exist that are non-physical. We acknowledge they exist, not because we can see or touch them, but because we can see, touch...

"there must be some difference in the way the two humans interpret the same input to be able to produce a different output" I can provide a real life ...
June 03, 2025 at 19:39
So, to be clear, your position is that, because humans can be manipulated, they are not responsible for their actions, due to being manipulated, and t...

Thanks! Good to be back.

"words can’t possibly cause us to change what we say or do think, according to you, right?" Words, in and of themselves, have no power. Consideration ...
May 30, 2025 at 04:23
Except that most often times, it does not. This statement is as accurate as saying "Driving a motor vehicle results in motor vehicle accidents" True; ...

Why are there houses in Heaven? Seems rather un-heaven like.
March 28, 2022 at 10:34
Why are you saving their lives in the first place? Six people will die without external life support in the form of this drug, therefore, rather than ...

I just typed "BBC" in the search bar and it was the first story. A theatre in Muripol. There was a short video clip, a still picture of the theatre fr...

I have asked for a reliable, unbiased source of information. You have not provided any. I have asked that you explain the discrepancies I have noted. ...
March 17, 2022 at 13:12
Very much so. Which why you should always question what you are told and do your own assessments. Dying due to being lazy is just embarrassing.
March 17, 2022 at 13:02
That video has actual sick people, dirt in the hospitals, grime on the windows, etc. That was filmed in a real hospital. Nothing discordant there. Unl...
March 17, 2022 at 12:52
So explain the empty buildings, the lack of injury evidence, and all the other inconsistences. Don't tell me I am inept; Explain what I am seeing and ...
March 17, 2022 at 12:47
I am a fire fighter, former construction worker, and critical care health worker. I am very familiar with abandoned buildings, demolition, rescue effo...
March 17, 2022 at 12:43
And the BBC pictures? There was no one in that building, it was too small to house 1200, there were no people anywhere, and no litter or garbage anywh...
March 17, 2022 at 12:03
Honestly, no. My wife might know, but I am at work currently and she is at home asleep. The pictures of the theatre are from BBC. I have seen facebook...
March 17, 2022 at 11:59
I agree. However, if our collective information source is the media, then our collective information source is questionable. If there is a solid, unbi...
March 17, 2022 at 11:58
Not necessarily. I have seen "live" interviews from Kiev. One had the soldiers that did not know how to hold their weapons, or how to insert a clip in...
March 17, 2022 at 11:55
I have not. I have explained that I do not have decent information, and what I am able to view does not correlate to what I am being told. You claim t...
March 17, 2022 at 11:44
100%
March 17, 2022 at 11:28
Maybe it would be. However, my purpose is to point out that most, not necessarily all, but most of those posting here are, in fact, not informed past ...
March 17, 2022 at 11:25
I guess you trust your media. I don't trust mine anymore, nor my government, which is why I have the position I have. If I see it in front of me, if I...

Are you near the battle front or getting your information from media? French Canadian. Yep, nobody is perfect.
March 17, 2022 at 10:51
Full on weeping... If my wife dies. If my kid dies. If my dog dies. Outside of those, not a chance.
March 17, 2022 at 10:23
Are you teary when you hear the music or weeping? Huge difference. Maybe a tear wells up, your eyes get misty. I understand that. But full on weeping?...
March 17, 2022 at 10:21
Love it.
March 17, 2022 at 10:15
So you are Russian? How far, in actual distance, are you from the fighting? I am on the other side of the world, and I know, reliably, as much as I sh...
March 17, 2022 at 10:08
You are correct. I do not know what you know about it. Which part of the Ukraine are you in? or which part of the Russian forces are you with?
March 17, 2022 at 10:07
You mean unlike everyone else that picks a side and clings to it without actually knowing anything? What if we all shut up about it? THAT would be gre...
March 17, 2022 at 10:04
I am not actually sure what is going on in Ukraine. I believe nothing that comes out of the media anymore and am even more certain that the politician...
March 17, 2022 at 09:58
Torturing the baby is more immoral than allowing the people to die, therefore should not be done and the bombs should be allowed to go off. I arrive a...

A good immune system is one that is challenged! I have always wanted to try Lizard on a stick.

Nothing compares to a lovely blood and tongue sandwich with spicy mustard, but head cheese is still very good. My college roommates would eat anything...
March 17, 2022 at 07:44
Excellent! Do it my friend.
March 17, 2022 at 04:20
Again, your version of God, your definition of all the aforementioned "evils". All according to your viewpoint. Limited, limited, and oh yes, very lim...
March 17, 2022 at 04:19
Now you are describing me. Thanks. Although, to be clear, I don't actually need the support. I find your version of God as limited as your willingness...
March 17, 2022 at 04:18
Person, likely not. People are weaklings and lack insight. The anthropomorphic version of God should n't be a weakling, so your description of God isn...
March 17, 2022 at 04:14
God as an entity does not exist. God as encompassing energy, I believe, is a certainty. God exists because I exist. That which animates my body cannot...
March 16, 2022 at 12:09
Why is your philosophy limited to earth and that which is limited to this reality? It seems, well, limited.
March 16, 2022 at 12:04
There is far less evil in the world than most believe. There is perspective, and most are unable to see anyone's but their own. Mice likely believe my...

It is hard to experience a punch in the face unless one is punched in the face. Therefore in order to experience it, it must be available. In order to...

you do not cover the very real aspect of sex robots (yep, they are real) being used as a safe alternative by people who are attracted to children. Or ...
March 16, 2022 at 10:37
God would. Operating from an existential developmental/experiential cycle. We are currently in this cycle, in whatever form we elected to engage it (t...
March 16, 2022 at 09:29
Alternately, God doesn't give damn about your belief in him, and proving his ability is pointless, he would have to do it all the time to convince som...
March 16, 2022 at 07:16
Why? Everything has a purpose, especially evil. The assumption that God (if such exists) would remove evil (because we don't like it?) has always appe...
March 16, 2022 at 07:07
Living in such a fashion as to be discordant with your own values. This would be a "wrong" way to live, even if one was accepted by society at large. ...

Just change the Op to "I hate men". Saves time. and you don't need to justify your position with all the bullshit.
