I still think it's a language issue and it revolves around the verb "shows". I agree with Srap it doesn't make sense to pretend a coin has three state...
Clearly untrue, considering the amount of time you've spend defending trump didn't commit crimes. It's petulant and devoid of reason: "I'm right, you'...
even if that were true and the law isn't about morality, you're still expected to follow it. By inference you then agree that he broke the law otherwi...
Isn't this problem a consequence of asking the wrong question, because the question is ambiguous? Given the setup, and that you'd be woken twice if it...
Pot meet kettle. The only one "modifying" clear science here is you. You say you disagree with the conclusion we're in a man-made climate crisis but I...
1. Largest consumers are western countries and therefore cause the most pollution and that includes the pollution in other countries that produce to m...
Streetlight had some choice things to say about this whining about platforms and deplatforming. "Should we give Trump a platform?": is the wrong quest...
Anyone who brushes past could leave or not leave dna on a dress. Unless it's semen, it would be wrong to assume the dna of that man, was of a man who ...
I don't think we will see any meaningful change in how the war is progressing because from a military perspective it makes no sense to communicate an ...
The only unit of analysis is cash in a capitalist system, which is what the one party will support at any cost. The cultural discussions about abortio...
Because it's not a matter of regulation, which is never universal, but ethics and culture. Law is more about economics than anything else. Since this ...
You think it's a good thing to boycott a medium for diplomacy? When countries entered in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations they considered...
His indictment consists of 34 felony charges, which are often prosecuted as misdemeanors but that doesn't make them midsdemeanors. Read it here: https...
So according to you there are no situations where lying is unjustified and immoral? You mention exceptions to a proposed exception. Reasoning a contra...
I still don't know what you think a right is based on this. I'd think it's not such a complicated question for you to dance around the answer like thi...
hmmm... I think we need to go a step deeper. What is your definition of a "right"? Describe a basic situation in a theoretical base state (so no socia...
@"Pierre-Normand" Finally got access to my earlier discussion: R. S. How many words of information do you have on the subject of sentience in relation...
By what mechanism do men confer rights? And how do you reconcile this with your earlier statement: I believe rights are naturally founded, derived fro...
