What? I am not agree. Name one country so powerful that doesn't need depend on others. It is just impossible because we live in a connected world wher...
But, Joe, I guess when we have to debate about argumentation, "heart" or "love" have no space here. If you want to be rational you need to use the min...
Sovereignty should not depend on economical terms neither interests. I am only defending the Ukranian population not their puppet president or the fak...
I see your point of trying to understand both Russia and China policies or affairs but I guess Ukraine's sovereignty is the big issue here and how it ...
Yeah I think exactly the same. This conflict and issue would make the European nations to regroup and stay together, reinforcing the treaties and coop...
I have reached this week one year in this forum. It is true that I was off sometimes. But I am happy to be here debating and sharing my wiews with you...
That would be very crazy. Really, I don't understand what is going on with Putin's mind and Russia interests. Like why the hell they are so motivated ...
I comprehend, but don't you think that's quite unfair to Ukrainian citizens and sovereignty? When a country does not respect other territories, the re...
Yes, it is crazy that Putin does not care about international sanctions. EU tried to asphyxiate them with economic strategies but it doesn't seem to h...
Russian military vehicles enter Ukraine from Crimea Can't belive we are in XXI century and we are living this. What we did so wrong? Another war? Seri...
Yes I see your point. Despite the fact you were expecting from your friend a help to repair the windmill, I think he was not obliged to because (suppo...
I understand what you mean and feel. I had the same experience some years ago. The so called "reciprocity" If you think it deeply. You weren't sharing...
Hello Joe Mello. Welcome to the Philosophy Forum. My name is Javi and I am from Madrid. Glad to have a person with such experience as you. Wow! Intere...
You are correct. Sorry, I was mistaken. Emotion is not the correct word here. What I wanted to argument were qualities. I think what Jonh Locke preten...
I see your point and the article you shared is so interesting. They develop a scientific theory which explains what is going on when our sight receive...
It proves your existence because thinking and reasoning are acts which involve human nature. It one of the aspects which differ from all the species i...
Those concepts come from the act of understanding. We need being taught through a good education what is the meaning of the world which is surrounded ...
Empiricism. I was taught when I was a kid the act of reasoning. Then, I elaborate my own thoughts. I'm not going to say they are "inherent" The experi...
Cogito ergo sum. Thoughts and the act of thinking is (probably) the most powerful proof of my own existence. If I think, then I exist. Therefore, I ne...
I going to sound as a childish atheist but what "God" and religion have spread during centuries is the pure act of ignorance. Instead of being a tool ...
So interesting indeed. I have learned a lot in this thread. I think I am somehow agree with Walzer. I see his view some pessimistic in terms of politi...
. Well in terms of war we can make some exceptions... Nevertheless, don't you think we demand from them to be more diplomatic? I think a good leader w...
This is one of the arguments which are used by religious when they are against suicide. It is a paradox consider as an imperfection the act of denying...
How can you be that sure to say that? Do you really think China is in a big issue of misunderstanding? I think you are mixing Taiwang and Hong Kong po...
I think this phrase is quite contradictory. Tragedians need some background or stimulus to act in such way. I mean, pessimism is not inherent in our m...
As you said, China is a good example that you can run a country without religion in your culture. Even more, they are completely a different culture c...
I think not! To be honest, I guess what we really demand of our governors is efficiency, I personally do not even care about their image. But this doe...
He recognizes it and probably takes some decisions on it. But, at the same time, he knows he has to be corrupt and a cheater to climb in the world of ...
Wow! That's sounds quite contradictory! Because (in my ignorance) I guess the leader's image is very important! This makes a politician win or lose so...
One of the problems of dirty hands could be the big gap between leader's interests and citizen's rights/needs. According to this Machiavelli principle...
Yes, I am agree with you. Mental intention is important to classify an act as a murder. But I guess all are important but different. I can kill someon...
I think not. You are just misunderstanding the typified crime in a code book with the act per se. One precedes to the other. This is why lawmakers ten...
Not necessarily. I see your point that we could have a big problem if we lack of both religion and philosophy (well, if I am honest with you I would n...
I wish it too but it looks like humans do not know how to live in loneliness. This is why masses take part of it. We tend to live in groups or communi...
Yes. I think there are wrong ways to live. First of all, not living according to the laws of your state. When you do so, you are not respecting other'...
Good quote. I am completely agree. Internet created a "free" status of awareness where it looks like it doesn't seem to have negative impact when you ...
