Knock knock! Who's there? Wesense Wesense who? Wesense nonsense

If a concept is a pattern that is transmitted how can the transmission be physical but not the pattern?

Then I suppose you might generally avoid colors that inspire passion, which could be any color. Maybe avoid color saturation.
October 09, 2017 at 15:21
Your objections sound reasonable to me. Nevertheless, where was the nationalistic outrage before Trump created it? Just out of curiosity, can you see ...

The initial expression of protest by Colin Kaepernick in response to a rash of shootings of black men by white police officers was not a personal issu...

"I asked @VP Pence to leave stadium if any players kneeled, disrespecting our country. I am proud of him and @SecondLady Karen," Trump tweeted. And th...

Red is a romantic color, whereas Dionysian is creative, spontaneous, and emotionally driven so a warmer and more energetic color may represent it bett...

How many Übermensch does it take to change a lightbulb?

What do you believe the difference is between irrational and evil?

3k were killed on 9-11, by people who believed the act would plant them in heaven.

Thinking about a career change?

I am confused regarding the issue of horrific sex. I mean, does it involve body parts, small burrowing animals... but then some things I don’t want cl...
October 02, 2017 at 02:30
Given your penchant for ‘horrific’ sexual intimacy with the female form, your anatomical confusion is understandable.
October 02, 2017 at 01:21
Actually well above the knee. Should probably not be wearing shoes to do it though.

If it were a competition I wouldn't let you have the last word on the subject.

I suppose that I only meant to suggest that there may be greener pastures. The excess emotion theory seems to makes sense. Haven’t heard that before.
October 01, 2017 at 03:27
Sex + love can inspire tears, and be without any thought of greener pastures.
October 01, 2017 at 02:42
Sexual experiences can be far better than horrible-amazing, FYI.

The curious thing is that the notion of an ever existing designer is counter to the notion that existence requires a designer.
September 30, 2017 at 15:11
The 'first cause' is just a concept indicating a starting point, or the limit of our current understanding.
September 30, 2017 at 01:02
An intelligent designer that has always existed?
September 30, 2017 at 00:36
The 'first cause' is just a concept indicating a starting point. That's not the question, but the answer to this question is that no one made that whi...
September 29, 2017 at 22:57
It's a perfectly valid question. The fact that no one knows the answer doesn't make it a bad question.
September 29, 2017 at 22:15
It can simply mean that the cause is unknown.
September 29, 2017 at 22:10
We can conclude that we don't currently know. We can conclude that a designer designed it this way. But if we conclude this we are left with the quest...
September 29, 2017 at 21:58
What is the first cause if not something come from nothing.
September 29, 2017 at 21:40
What's the difference? If the designing intelligence doesn't require a designer then why would anything else.
September 29, 2017 at 20:38
How did the designing intelligence arise? and was it intelligently designed?

If Crapshootism were an effective sleeping aid there would be whole shelves dedicated to it in the self-help section.

Hangs low and always to the right... very clever, Wosret!

Gay humor?

Uh, humor?

I wonder if Trump's base is even suspicious that the NFL conflict is a populist tactic.
September 26, 2017 at 22:26
Nothing wrong with thinking of an online forum as a school or whatever. You may be setting yourself up for disappointment if you expect others to shar...
September 25, 2017 at 13:48
So Trump tweeted today that NFL players locking arms during the national anthem is good. Given that they were locking arms in protest of his asinine r...

Is it obvious? You wrote that it’s about the other and not the self. It’s obvious that it’s about the other AND the self.
September 24, 2017 at 02:19
There can’t be an other person without a self-concept.
September 23, 2017 at 19:24
This would seem to imply that the act of killing isn’t a sin or objectively immoral. It depends on the killers point of view. In the case mentioned, w...

Religious dogma defines conditions for those that need their conditions defined.

Why not? I would find unconditional love more credible if it were born in a brothel or other seemingly unlikely conditions for true love to bloom. Ind...
September 23, 2017 at 04:08
Any object of love is a particular set of qualities or conditions. To love unconditionally would be to love all conditions or qualities. As I mentione...
September 22, 2017 at 23:47
So when people speak of unconditional love they're just expressing an intention to tollerate a wide range of conditions? That doesn't sound so romanti...
September 22, 2017 at 20:01
The feeling is part of it but there’s more to it. Any emotion could be seen as comprising of our past experience, affect, our learned or created emoti...
