I'm having trouble following you. I'd rather not repeat myself, actually. Now I can only speculate that your interest is about freeloading, what moral...

Having just taken a peek, the turnout rate has been around 90% for the last few years in Australia, if I looked at it right and not too briefly. Hugel...

If you live in a democracy, benefit from and value that democracy, and you're able to participate in the voting process without an unreasonable burden...

I haven't made that assumption. I don't even know if you live in a democracy, though I think you live in the UK. Do you live in a democracy? and if so...

Even though an individual is able and has the time they choose not to participate in a cooperative group effort that they value and benefit from. Defi...

Again, my essential argument is that we generally don’t neglect what we value. If we value life, for instance, then we ought to not neglect it. If we ...

I wanted to be a fireman when I was a kid, if that counts. But seriously, if fire service was structured more like democratic elections where there wa...

Prove it. Prove it.

If your point is that voters should require qualification in order to vote, that’s beside the point. Though if that’s at all a viable idea it expresse...

Not at all. My argument is essentially that we generally don’t neglect what we value. Of course we may take things for granted, not consciously realiz...

.01% of all biomass and we’re doing a pretty good job of fucking it all up. We’re awesome. :death:

One need not participate in their childs upbringing, particularly if there are no laws restricking irresponsible neglect of that kind. If a libertaria...

I’m not really a ‘boiled egg guy’ but I made some last week. The method I looked up said to boil water in a pot, then turn off the heat, add eggs, cov...

I question how much democracy is valued by someone who argues against participation in democracy, simply. I assume that a pseudo-democracy may be valu...

I’m grasping for an answer. How can someone who is not against democracy honestly argue against participation in democracy? I do understand that this ...

These things are tough. https://designpraxis.biz/img/cucumbers.png

You're not against democracy but you argue against participation in democracy. Are you sure that you're not a Russian troll? I know that I've asked yo...

Now that I put more thought into it, about three minutes, it occurs to me that I may consider it responsible if the non-voter is against democracy. Ar...

I was expressing species-wide pride and not personal pride. You make a good point though, I'm nothing to write home about.

Fine grate. Scrapped like a mad banshee only to be rewarded with a small portion.

Yeah, well, spiders haven’t been to the moon so they’re not all that and a bag of potato chips.

What does that even mean? Your endless support of a politician, namely Trump, belies the sentiments expressed in the OP. Apparently, you enjoy the tho...

I’d just like to understand the disagreement, but I suppose it’s too much of a bother and that’s :ok:

What can I say, irresponsibility rubs me the wrong way.

I think that I’ve made something like that before. Grating the cucumbers was a chore as I recall but was worth the effort. Served it with some kind of...

Both Xtrix and I are trying to figure out your objection and he gets the okay sign and I get a show of contempt. That’s not fair. :sad:

After your endless displays of Trump boot-licking you would have us believe that you’re some sort of anarchist? I suppose it’s good that you recognize...

I think if a plan isn't followed or is ineffective it indicates that there's a problem with A and/or B. If a plan isn't followed it suggests that ther...

From my brief review of it this morning, the problem of criterion seems to center on an impossibility of validation. Assumption: I'm too stupid to be ...

C is part and parcel of the framework and I don't see how it could reasonably be considered external.

How is the plan of making an improvement, reviewing the results, and then adjusting based on the results, not a plan? If I wanted to improve my chess ...

I got it right away and was like :meh: I was a bit inwardly tickled by it though, full disclosure.

He said the topic has nothing to do with capitalism, not that you were accusing him of being a capitalist. Second to last paragraph of the OP: Hmm :ch...

It’s an irresponsible political position, or in a word: libertarian.

I don’t understand your criticism. If I’m following it right, in Xtrix’s framework A & B are validated by C. If C (practice) is ineffective then somet...

@"Tobias" So I take it the story is inspired by Flood 1. I listened to it and it’s hard to make out and clear story or message. It’s almost like you l...

Damn, hope you have a full recovery.

Well at least I called that right. :smirk:

I was hoping to one day see Jack’s artworks. Now it shall never be.

Seems like Jack’s jam to me.

Congrats to Dream of the Flood writer. :party: I think it’s Jack Cummins.

Because you’re a —> :halo:

Many may not be sensitive to them for whatever reason, but I think it could also be that consumption can catch up with us as we age, and the results (...

A protein that exists in all organic life, I understand, though some life contains more than others. Also, some life, such as my life, are more sensit...

Speaking of breakfast, lately a favorite is sauteed red onions and spinach topped with a couple of fried eggs.

I've been meditating on and off for years. It is calming, though it's easier to do if you're calm going into it. I've listened to hypnosis tapes for r...

I was unsure but the coconut cream works. I'd like it with dairy and pasta but I'm lectin conscious now. Lectins poison. :death: I think the trick to ...

Remember when Trump promised to build a wall on the southern border and make Mexico pay for it? Biden secures deal whereby Mexico agrees to provide $1...

I checked “Not for me” on two or three but didn’t vote on others that failed to move my druthers. This is bad?

Dinner: creamy pesto chicken & asparagus made with fresh basil from the garden. Recipes generally call for heavy cream and cherry tomatoes but going l...
