Damn, that was a good one. I'll have to remember that. Note: good luck trying to guess who I answered to. Note 2: neither of these notes are part of t...

So are you claiming that camouflage is not a solution or that it is not passed down genetically? I've shown it is a solution, and I wish you are not g...
July 19, 2017 at 07:20
Thanks but I have already read the discussion earlier. You'll need to reform your statement because it's unclear what is it that you want me to addres...
July 18, 2017 at 22:59
So is your point that camouflage is not a perfect solution? Prior to your comment no one had mentioned the reguirement that the solution would have to...
July 18, 2017 at 22:37
Could you explain your claim of camouflage not being a solution to being seen by predators, which from the view point of the prey might appear problem...
July 18, 2017 at 22:22
I just did in that comment. Ok, somewhere in this thread I have flawlessly proved that the bread you ate was actually God in the form of dinosaur. Is ...
July 14, 2017 at 21:32
Back to the body being external and other subjects: If you don't want to discuss with people you disagree with, why use internet forums? Similarly to ...
July 14, 2017 at 20:25
Or you could quote the part where you so clearly point that out. Not only that, you could even give a one word reply that'd clarify everything. But na...

That's not what I said at all. I said that's not the definition.
July 14, 2017 at 17:12
Well your definition isn't how people generally define God either. It's what people generally think but not what is generally used as a definition.
July 14, 2017 at 12:50
How do you define God? God could be defined by his/her/its actions as well for example. We call the being whose son Jesus is God.
July 14, 2017 at 10:11
You did not make it clear at all. Am I to assume the former?
July 14, 2017 at 10:04
"perceiving something" + adverb refers to how you perceive the information, not to the source of information, so by "perceiving externally" do you ref...
July 13, 2017 at 23:57
Then explain how does one perceive anything externally. I see the point in making the distinction between internal and external thought, not between p...
July 13, 2017 at 23:32
I don't see the point in making the distinction between perceiving a thought internally or externally as the perception is internal and thought is the...
July 13, 2017 at 23:20
Now that I have your attention, you can't have external thoughts of someone else because you're not aware of thoughts separately from them, thoughts a...

*Steps into a bar* *Sees a fight* *whispers* Stomach pain is perceived via senses - *Terrapin throws a chair at me* *continues* ... but it's an extern...

Anyone who voted yes, I bet that I can reply to your replies to this comment. €50, have we got a deal?
July 11, 2017 at 20:13
Objective to us humans doesn't mean the same as objective.
July 10, 2017 at 13:11
Yes, and unpleasantness's negativity is subjective.
July 10, 2017 at 13:00
And unpleasantness as a word itself implies you consider that to be negative. Of course, but their negativity (or rather its negativity, but this is o...
July 08, 2017 at 09:17
Well who am I to be blamed when the discussion seems to take a direction entirely different from what I had expected? With people making comments that...
July 07, 2017 at 08:23
Ok, let's talk within the assumption that generally pain is a negative thing. Then why is avoiding negative things and harming others objectively bad ...
July 06, 2017 at 05:45
What if I do? I think they are immoral but that's my opinion, I won't accept that as a fact. Some of those serial killers think they're moral. Societi...
July 05, 2017 at 08:21
Actually it is not, and there are people who like pain although they are a minority.
July 05, 2017 at 08:18
No, god can mean either the creator or a god that did not create the world. God with G refers to the Abrahamic God, not any god that created the world...
July 03, 2017 at 11:21
And why is pain a negative thing? That's a subjective opinion.
July 03, 2017 at 11:17
Why must there be God, instead of god, that created the world?
July 02, 2017 at 16:14
*gasp* How did they find out?
July 02, 2017 at 14:45
So that is a fancier way to say "This statement is false"?
July 02, 2017 at 08:35
Let's say a+b=5, where a=2 and b=3. Did a+b=5 because a=2?

Why is it not possible to subscribe to threads here?
July 01, 2017 at 22:35
Sorry, I have bad memory.
July 01, 2017 at 22:34
Hard to say anything to that.
July 01, 2017 at 21:21
Is it possible to subscribe to a thread in these forums? If not, why?
July 01, 2017 at 17:59
Um, just no?
July 01, 2017 at 17:41
No, god is logically necessary, as the creator of material existence. What a big difference capitalizing one letter can make.
July 01, 2017 at 17:40
If you want to make a claim that is a logically correct conclusion of OP's thoughts out of that, you have to rephrase it so that the potential person ...
June 30, 2017 at 21:11
Are you serious with that argument?
June 30, 2017 at 20:32
I don't think so 8-) 8-)
June 30, 2017 at 19:49
No, they describe a contradictory situation.
June 30, 2017 at 18:44
Excuse me, what is this thread?
June 30, 2017 at 18:07
They can't be upset because they don't exist.
June 30, 2017 at 18:04
You insulted dogs? I'll legit beat you up if we ever meet irl.
June 30, 2017 at 18:02
Not an offence but thinking of memes as a cultural phenomenon is about as normie as opinion about memes can get. What next, they are creations of huma...
June 30, 2017 at 17:04
Looks like a bee but is evil. They can sting multiple times and are more aggressive than bees. They're also predators. I know my classifications of be...
June 30, 2017 at 15:03
I think that's more the social status and role of evil than actual evilness.
June 30, 2017 at 14:58
First option is that only a single plane exists at any given moment. This'd make it trivial to say where the plane would be, had the whole space not s...
June 29, 2017 at 21:39
Let's visualize the question. The universe is a space, where our physical universe is a plane moving through space. 2 spatial dimensions, and the 3rd ...
