I don't know how to link. I'm going to try it: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/519768#:~:text=This%20has%20probably,with%20the%20dee...

Any lens is only our own. The relationship is amoral, not immoral. And by that assessment, from our perspective, it must be moral. :100: There is no t...

Interesting biological angle. Strike the word "willing" and it would be more interesting. The same argument has been made for those humans which would...

I agree with that. Some of those rights are the right to fight, the right to flight and the right to self-defense. It's not simply a human construct. ...

:100: They taught me what "will to live" means. While I have been depressed at times, I won't pretend to understand deep clinical depression. However,...

Let me refresh your memory. You started this with: "The idea that things like respect or grace could possibly matter when killing someone seems pretty...

Then let it go. Even worse, you are not offering any evidence of a flaw, much less any support for your side. In fact, I don't even know what your sid...

Yes, and I addressed all that. I'd restate what I JUST said, but the record can speak for itself. You were the one alleging flaws in arguments made wi...

I didn't do any of that. But I damn sure benefited from it, as did you and everyone else in the world.

:100:

Yeah, I don't know where that came from. You said "But I do cordially invite you to read this thread . . . " BTDT. I also told you that " If you could...

Because you are not an interlocutor? Someone in the past failed to agree with you? BTDT. :smile:

That's because you completely ignored me when I said: and then continued to pursue the funnin' with: You could have kept it on my serious response to ...

Ah, but I am. Let me repeat: "People usually need someone to make intelligent arguments, from experience, pointing out flaws in order to see those fla...

If you could maintain interest and look a little deeper, you might find your interlocutors have been on the other side, yet progressed with experience...

I think we are 100% in agreement on what you just said. Nevertheless, an absence of argument does a position no good. That cognitive dissonance is the...

Probably not. People usually need someone to make intelligent arguments, from experience, pointing out flaws in order to see those flaws. When those a...

They've diversified their palate. Probably got bored with the same old healthy stuff. Well, as I intimated above, just as the tooth of the wolf chisel...

Yes, really. If you don't think conscious deliberate mindfulness is hunting then you've never hunted. Maybe you tried doing what most people I've seen...

I think you just described hunting.

Not even close. In fact, most people I've seen who "hunt" don't hunt anything like an animal. Yeah, mostly that.

Because we are animals. We just aren't real good at it.

Yes. We are animals. Omnivores, so I'm told.

I agree with you. However, it's not an either/or situation. It's a both/and situation. I've likened it to the U.S. Constitution. It provides that trea...

:100:

I don't think it is a stretch from philosophy to say this (do they call it realism? Not sure. Maybe I can be schooled on that). But let's just cut to ...

I wouldn't know no how. Ain't never took one of them there things. I did get unlimited call-backs in the Marine Corps (was them IQ tests?), but they m...

But you are not wrong.

Then why did you tell me I couldn't find the scientific experts? Are you digging again? :lol: Ah, but you do. Just look around at who agrees with you....

My google fu sucks. Do you know where I can find out who those six were? Edit to add: Found it: https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2021/roll368.xml And what'...

That's a good way to look at it. I outed him so he won't have fun with me any more. :cry: :roll:

I would say "I can't believe this guy" (meaning the audacity; I never did believe his crap) but I actually can believe it. His type are a dime a dozen...

I recently outed you as a Trump/Putin supporter, but this post of yours reminds me of when I outed you quite some time ago as the guy who thinks being...

So do you, StreetlightX. You are all about that land raping.

:100:

They don't even need to be accused. They only need to be threatened with being accused and that will get them to shut up and stay home like a good lit...

I must have missed that. It could be that is his position. I have missed things in the past. But notwithstanding my best efforts, I can't get him to s...

Yes, you want a one party system. We get that. Fascists white nationalist want a one party system. You know, like your boy Putin has.

He doesn't like me because I've outed him and exposed his cover. I don't like him because he's a shill for the Republican party, trying to sew divisio...

What efforts? DOH! :rofl: What single thing have you done to stop the Republican party from getting into office? What party (if not the Democrats) has...

Yeah, vote for Putin's bitch, Trump. :lol: How does it feel to be so transparent? Like the Republican party? The scary part is, it works with the stup...

And there you have it, folks. StreetlightX is a Republican shill and has been outed in public. You can't trust a word he says about having some kind o...

That's why I looked for you putting some distance between you and the Trumpsters, but crickets. So, rather than have me Sherlock-up and dig through fi...

You can't blame me. I had to say it for you. You never say shit about the Republicans, hence the borne-out suspicions that you are a shill for them.

So, the republican party functions as one-half of a two-part cycle whose overall effect is to ruin lives for everyone. ???

Yes, and yet here you are! That's my point, DOH! That is why you are suspected to be a shill for the Republicans/Putin, ragging on those who don't nee...

That was precisely my question about you. :rofl: Self own.

:up: Apparently you can draw some distinctions. :razz:

:up: We have very different perspectives on some fundamental issues. I knew that when you refuse to distinguish between your patients. It's like givin...
