You clearly weren't reading the discussion before you entered it with your irrelevant, erroneous point, and you clearly haven't been reading my posts ...
July 21, 2017 at 12:50
You absolutely did say that in your post below: If you didn't mean that, you need to define what you mean by "black man who's a white supremacist"
July 21, 2017 at 12:44
Nope, the use is the English language's. You've forgotten it has a say in this.: "flawed ADJECTIVE blemished, damaged, or imperfect in some way" And n...
July 21, 2017 at 01:49
That has nothing to do with, nor counters, anything I said, and I practice the arts. So, I'll leave you with your flawed definition of "flawed" and mo...
July 21, 2017 at 01:45
Uh....huh. And many, if not most, things--including memory--are still flawed. But I forget you don't understand the word.
July 21, 2017 at 01:38
No, flawed is the correct use of the definition of the word and the correct description of human memory. Just ask someone who was convicted by flawed ...
July 21, 2017 at 01:37
And its still flawed because it misrepresents both internal and external experiences. And it is not representative of a persons experiences since a pe...
July 21, 2017 at 01:36
Sorry, none of this changes the fact that memory is flawed as I showed above. People can both read books and experience life. I'm sorry you never real...
July 21, 2017 at 01:35
Of course memory is flawed; that's why people misremember things as much, if not more, as they accurately remember them. That is flawed. And no, it is...
July 21, 2017 at 01:28
Also memory is flawed, barely representative of our life experience and barely representative of our unconscious thought.
July 21, 2017 at 01:16
Was that a reply to me? If so, it didn't address what I said.
July 20, 2017 at 23:55
Not only is that irrelevant to my correct point that your homophobic "bug theory" unjustly and erroneously shows one side as less natural than the oth...
July 20, 2017 at 20:09
And now you show your homophobia again by presenting homosexuality as counter to the spreading of the species. The fact Gays and Straights who do not ...
July 20, 2017 at 20:06
It's pretty sad you have to ask. Because you said it Gays an homosexuality was a product of a "bug" in the reproductive system, not the reproductive s...
July 20, 2017 at 20:01
It doesnt' matter if your statement wasn't meant to be taken as homophobic. It was homophobic as you presented Gays and homosexuality as a result of a...
July 20, 2017 at 19:43
Look, you have no idea if it isn't hereditary or if Straightness isn't hereditary. And it's not rocket science; its Genetics, a science in which you a...
July 20, 2017 at 19:25
It doesn't matter how it's intended; a homophobic statement is still a homophobic statement. That's like saying a racist statement isn't racist if it ...
July 20, 2017 at 19:17
Yes, but it is their primary shaping environment showing even the shaping environment doesn't make people Gay or straight. Considering you havent show...
July 20, 2017 at 18:48
Of course it precludes environmental causes since Gays mostly come out of Straight environments and mostly Straights come out of "Gay" environments. S...
July 20, 2017 at 18:45
Attributing Gays' sexual preferences to an unproven, unscientific, homophobic "mechanism" that you see as a "bug in the reproductive system" and not j...
July 20, 2017 at 18:43
Are people really spewing this anti-scientific, homophobic nonsense that homosexuality is "just a bug in the reproductive system," and that there are ...
July 20, 2017 at 18:40
Then there has to be one for Gays, too, because they've been here forever and are still going strong.. You did nothing of the kind; your reason was ne...
July 20, 2017 at 18:08
It's one of the two main problems with utopias: there is no way to even determine an abstract ideal. There is even less of a chance to determine ones ...
July 20, 2017 at 17:30
I see now you are just trolling, Rich, so I won't read or respond to any more of your posts on this thread.
July 20, 2017 at 13:33
No, thinking it isn't a metaphysical notion is just silly.
July 20, 2017 at 13:33
Wrong. I was addressing your concept, so I correctly used your term when addressing it.
July 20, 2017 at 13:30
No, that you feel I, or any other educated person, isn't in a position to say physicists seriously studying metaphysics aren't serious physicists spea...
July 20, 2017 at 13:26
The two are certainly not one and the same and you haven't shown they are in any way. And there is no evidence 'thinking" as we know it goes outside t...
July 20, 2017 at 13:20
Since you brought up quantum theory, my correct characterization of what is a serous physicist is completely germane to the discussion.
July 20, 2017 at 13:19
Fine, you can do that as much as you like, just like people can ask what makes someone think God isn't in all of us. But those are both metaphysical n...
July 20, 2017 at 13:17
My post indicated no agreement. It just showed you had no place complaining about my using the phrase "our conscious" in my response to you.
July 20, 2017 at 13:15
I talked about "our conscious" because you said "our conscious."
July 20, 2017 at 13:12
No, it doesn't, not in by serious physicists. No, it wouldn't, since the physical body is comprised of mass and energy, consciousness is a concept lik...
July 20, 2017 at 13:06
Sure but you were attributing to it a metaphysical quality it doesn't inherently or conspicuously have, and our conscious cannot physically be separat...
July 20, 2017 at 12:48
The problem is everything could be quanta, and quanta doesn't inherently become memory waves. One would have to show how they do.
July 20, 2017 at 12:46
What is this consciousness made of? And how can it be just contents when it is connected to, affected by, and affecting the human body and mind?
July 20, 2017 at 12:33
I never called you a White supremacist; so you need to improve your reading, too. It's clear the one who was wasting their time was me with you...:) A...
July 20, 2017 at 12:22
I never said Whites were mostly racist, so your nauseating self-righteousness, and poor reading, shows again. So, I have no more time for your erroneo...
July 20, 2017 at 12:06
The only nauseating self-righteousness, and nauseating dishonesty, is yours, as you were clearly emphasizing "anti-White" rhetoric.
July 20, 2017 at 12:04
McCain has been one of the worst warhawks in Congress the last 25 years, pushing hard for the Iraq War, pushing hard for the continuing bombing of Syr...
July 20, 2017 at 11:28
If you'd actually read my post and noticed I'd said "aren't mostly" in every case, you could have avoided wasting your time. If POC hadn't mostly forg...
July 20, 2017 at 11:24
If theres an environmental aspect to Gayness that can make one Gay, there has to be one that can make one straight, but theres neither. Gay people mos...
July 20, 2017 at 03:57
You say you've never heard of it yourself, so your question is ridiculous. Except your problem, and its a racist one, is you see Whites fighting for e...
July 20, 2017 at 01:48
I did no posturing, only cogent argument with the occasional appropriate repartee.
July 20, 2017 at 01:14
Cool man. Thanks for the clarification.
July 19, 2017 at 22:11
The one who needs to take it easy is you. I never said you tried to "pick a fight" with me or to bully me. But you did get argumentative here:
July 19, 2017 at 22:06
It's certainly something one imposes when you and Michael try to erroneously argue its legitimacy. If you didn't want to impose it; you shouldn't have...
July 19, 2017 at 21:52
It's certainly not standard convention; so you cant' impose it on others. If it was, people would have to always write in scare quotes to signify they...
July 19, 2017 at 21:30
I got ya.
July 19, 2017 at 19:43
What you and Michael don't get, and what Saussure demonstrated very well, is that the thing and the things's name can't be separated as long as you ar...
