You're speaking in riddles again, Gnomon, which is fine, but it's getting old.

Is there any legislation in the works along these lines that you know of? Anything that someone might contact their representatives to support?

For what it's worth, Trudeau admitting systemic racism. Remarkable by comparison to POTUS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q62ISvIgxkQ

I don’t recall claiming sainthood. Anyway, shouldn't you be dismantling my narrative? Trump isn’t divisive? The divisiveness is not strategic? and wha...

Is there something preventing you from responding for your fallen hero and righteously defending his honor?
June 03, 2020 at 17:00
The first thing that comes to mind for me, and I could be way off-base from not fully grasping your theory, is that what’s at the core of human morali...

The core values of the white man expressed in systematic racism, for instance?

Talking to a ghost... Part of the reaction is controlled by an ass with far more influence than any intelligent society should empower, proving beyond...

Offense, eccentricity, or your approach to anything is beside the point, as I've mentioned several times my concern is communication, and the issue st...

Did an advanced search for 'fifth dimension' posted by Posibility and read several posts from various topics. Fifth dimension is affected. I happen to...

If it were I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

You’ve repeatedly shown that I can’t explain anything to you. I’ll read about it though.
June 02, 2020 at 18:03
Someone who remains willfully ignorant about a concept like metaphysics is called a troglodyte. And are you suggesting that you deliberately obfuscate...

This is a public gesture, Frank. You don't say anything about taking a break for reasons not directly related. Lie to yourself all you want. I don't l...

Unless posts were deleted or are located somewhere else I don't see the baiting.

A case for that can't be made, assuming the baiting posts involved were in the systematic racism topic. What am I missing?

The gesture would seem much nobler if the high principled would at least wait for someone a bit better than Chester to be banned. Shouldn't have to wa...

I remember learning that around three million children die of malnutrition each year and thinking, ‘how did I not know that? how does everyone not kno...

If we must consult the dictionary, it means a more emotional or forcible response than is justified. Justified means having, done for, or marked by a ...

Fortunately for you then, a lack of self-awareness doesn't violate the Term of Service.

I think there are pretty clear lines where lawful police force ends and brutality begins. There are also legal lines that appear to be designed to sus...

Sure, do whatever you have to in order to understand science, philosophy, and religion better, but again, if you want to be understood, learn the mean...

To be fair, you are Irish, right?
June 01, 2020 at 21:36
I don't see how it can be said to be an overreaction then. Particularly since the situation doesn't seem to be improving. In fact, we seem to be slidi...
June 01, 2020 at 21:29
That's just plain favoritism. :razz:

No.

Trolling is deriving amusement, or perhaps in some cases rubles, from riling up an unsuspecting audience. Good hooks are anything that questions a per...
June 01, 2020 at 21:08
Poor wording on my part. Please allow me to rephrase. You appear to evaluate this to be an overreaction to the incalculable suffering caused by system...
June 01, 2020 at 20:50
I think it would be sufficient if you simply learned what most understand metaphysics to be and consequently used the word appropriately so as not to ...
June 01, 2020 at 20:37
You evaluate that this is worse (an unjustified reaction) than the years of systematic racism and the incalculable suffering that it has caused now sy...
June 01, 2020 at 20:18
Not to worry, it will trickle down to the lower classes like rain from heaven.
June 01, 2020 at 20:04
There are reactions and there is justice. Yes, they should not get confused. Maybe it would simplify things if you explain what you mean by the riots ...
June 01, 2020 at 19:46
I believe that people riot to demand justice, not to dispense it. You're the one claiming an "overreaction." This means that you believe the rioting i...
June 01, 2020 at 19:35
Unfortunately, this is not true. It may be true for anyone who reads this topic but it's definitely not true everywhere. Also, claiming an "overreacti...
June 01, 2020 at 19:14
Whatever, it was just a suggestion that would help to avoid misunderstandings when you say things like 'metaphysics was banished from philosophical di...

There's the moral issue of objectifying women.
June 01, 2020 at 03:04
I guess it depends at least in part on how good she is at virtual sex, as well as how good virtual sex is, for that matter.

To help avoid potential confusion in the future, I suggest that you consider contrasting materialism with idealism and try not to think of metaphysics...

May 31, 2020 at 15:44
If I might butt in for a sec. It's unclear what you mean by 'spiritualism' but it's odd that you believe metaphysics has been banished from philosophi...
