The cat isn't in a superposition the particle triggering the poison is. The cat is either dead or alive upon opening the box. So the experience of the...

The headline not withstanding; he's right. Most people want something to be done as long as other people pay for it. If people would start paying the ...

I mean the region; not necessarily those cities. :wink: For instance, baden-baden would fit more of your criteria. But plenty of villages in the regio...

South Germany near the French border is the way to go then or even France itself. Great summers (I studied there in Strassbourg, French side). Think K...

I agree; it is something to aspire to.

That doesn't make sense to me. Ukraine has no nukes and nobody that would be willing to use nukes on its behalf. So Ukraine had no such deterrence.
February 26, 2024 at 09:15
In addition, I think in a sense NATO (or actually the US) is too powerful and therefore can get away with military aggression. The EU wouldn't be but ...
February 26, 2024 at 08:40
Who said that? I'm saying that the view most people have of NATO as a purely defensive organisation is false just because its charter says "help when ...

Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya are already 3 wars the Dutch were pulled into where we shouldn't have been. That only happens because we are in NATO and the ...
February 26, 2024 at 05:31
Because US politics doesn't align with EU interests and they are warmongering reptiles. If we stay in NATO sooner or later we will be pulled into a wa...

Until there's a "problem" with their psyche and it's suggested such a thing is inherent to such a group, which is what was being discussed. It's the s...

If people are too dumb to see that to make general claims about the mental state of a group of people isn't close to racism then I look forward to ban...

Remove all Israeli war criminals from the gene pool and those that voted for those monsters. It never ceases to amaze the dumb shit people post here. ...

I don't want to start about Ukraine in this thread but expansion of NATO has deteriorated relations with Russia several times and therefore deteriorat...

Many Westerners still refuse to see the threat their governments pose to others and as such create the very conditions for those others to become a th...

economics. Particularly the pursuit of wealth and neo liberal policies, reducing everything to value, including people and their relationship you each...
February 20, 2024 at 07:33
Yes, agree with this. Too vague to really mean anything, I guess? The article you refer to includes book stalls as "culture" but maybe it's just anoth...
February 18, 2024 at 13:50
"practice makes perfect" I don't like it because there's no such thing as perfection. I much prefer the Dutch version, which translates closer to "pra...

I actually loved that quote from Tolstoi. :rage: Edit: I also disagree it's untrue actually. The point is that happy families share a set characterist...
February 17, 2024 at 15:17
I have the same policy. Which is why I wouldn't negotiate with governments to begin with.
February 17, 2024 at 11:49
Better sooner than later the way things are currently going. Can you give me your address for the list?
February 17, 2024 at 10:04
Bullshit. The French revolution had much needed beheadings. Tone policing is just another form of censorship for people to adhere to the status quo. T...
February 16, 2024 at 19:35
Can we please steer away with a very wide birth from the "psyche" of a group of people? Smells too close to racism to me. Cultural and material condit...

So you believe concepts of justice do not motivate these people? You think there's no Islamic theory for just wars?
February 13, 2024 at 18:39
I do think there's a humanitarian obligation on surrounding nations to accept refugees BUT not being stupid I would demand iron clad treaties with bot...
February 13, 2024 at 16:21
So your argument is what exactly? Israel gets to commit war crimes with the intent to steal the land while there's a humanitarian obligation on Egypt ...
February 13, 2024 at 16:19
due to the lack of philosophical content in some threads we've opted to move them to the lounge to focus the front page more on philosophy.
February 12, 2024 at 17:28
I'm sure some leaders of countries would insist on that. On the other hand, maybe a 100 years from now, western Europe will be poor and they simply do...

As if the West Coast states are just going to roll over and accept an autocratic regime. I don't think it's at all likely; it will destroy the USA and...

Thank God for term limits whatever will be the end result. And these guys are old so if we're lucky whoever is elected dies on us before that limit is...

I think there's a resiliency to the American identity, with a particular hang up on democracy (as if they invented it), that you'd sooner have civil w...

It extends even before that actually. From its inception Hamas has regularly offered the hudna, which is the Islamic equivalent of a treaty, effective...

There's no obligation on spending 2% of GDP so strictly speaking no.

Does Trump think it's just a protection racket?
February 11, 2024 at 15:01
The Oslo Accords were a joke. They were intended as an interim agreement but with no final state defined it was a recipe for failure. The open-ended n...

Your argument reads like the following; someone is diagnosed with lung cancer and you point out that that cough can just be a cold. It doesn't work lo...
February 09, 2024 at 08:40
I gave several examples so that's neither nonsense nor emotional.
February 08, 2024 at 22:12
Well I don't care about what you think if you don't back it up with an actual argument, so I guess we're done.

Is the US supreme court allowed to rule on the facts of a case or only on the interpretation of law?

For just about the twentieth time in this thread: you can destroy a people without actually killing them. There are still native Americans but they su...
