so if homosexuality offends someone, the homosexual should be punished?

And if some homophobe says "homosexuality offends me", and that offends a homosexual, the homophobe should be punished?

you're just boring me. too illogical.

Should all offenses by subject to punishment by the laws? Anytime you offend anyone?

ok, you don't actually care about the answer to the question you're asking. No idea why you've decided to troll me here. It's not interesting.

You inserted yourself into a conversation between two other people. If you care about what happened in the conversation, you're welcome to read it yourself. You can start up here. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/969582

yes, one person has been calling insults "violence" this whole time, and it's not me.

Right, exactly, not violence. That's what I'm saying.

ok so no part of the law says it's violent. Even if you go to jail for slander, say, they won't consider you a "violent criminal".

And which part of that law says the insult is violence?

We just saw Kendrick Lamar perform a song at the superbowl specifically written to insult one person. Nobody stopped him.

Maybe he'll get sued, at worst, but it won't be treated like a violent crime. Because it's not violence.

so everything that is prohibited by laws is violence?

and no, insulting isn't prohibited by laws in those countries. Insulting is actually pretty generally allowed.

Because it offends the feelings of the believers in the Quran — MoK

Is this a general belief of yours? Offending feelings is violence in general?

Why would you consider burning a book 'violence'? If it's violence, then does that imply Muslims have the right to self-defense from that violence?

Nothing I said was about "proving a point". What point? It's a challenge, not a point. And it's a challenge that every other community other than Muslims pass with flying colors every time.

Burn a bible, see if you get stabbed. You won't. Burn a printout of the declaration of independence or the american constitution, see if you get stabbed. You won't. Everyone else passes the challenge except muslims.

Will you succumb to the intimidation of being called "racists," or will you finally challenge us Muslims to take responsibility for our role in what ails Islam?

I wonder if, in a sense, burning qurans is part of that challenge. I kind of see it that way. "I'm burning this quran, it's up to you and your community to deal with that in ways other than violence. Otherwise you'll never be recognized as the so called religion of peace that you think you are".

yeah. You seem to be unable to distinguish between your own thoughts and objective fact, but you're good at realizing other peoples thoughts aren't fact. You think that if you believe something, that makes it a fact. It's boring and shallow.

Well, technically speaking, it is. — Arcane Sandwich

ok that's dumb lmao.

Ah right but when you insult people it's an objective fact XD you're such a dick.

Seems par for the course for this guy. Lots of non-sequiturs.

what makes it silly? can you explain?

a book with (allegedly) muhammads words printed in it.

good answer. That's probably worth doing.

To burn a Qur'an is not the same thing as burning the Qur'an — Arcane Sandwich

What's the difference?

My ex wife killed herself, and later my second wife's niece. I am left, as I am always left after contributions to this perennial topic, with a feeling of failure, and a feeling of reproach from an unanswerable source. — unenlightened

(sorry for popping in mid conversation out of context) Without going into too much detail, I've had extremely similar events in my life and feelings. Hope you're doing okay.

I don't

Why do you think it's interesting to ask me questions I wouldn't know the answer to, and then tell me nobody knows?

Your point is to tell me that no one knows the answers to the questions you randomly decided to ask me?

I genuinely don't understand why you're asking me any of these questions. I wouldn't know.

ok, what does that have to do with anything?

I have no idea. I don't know why you're asking me random questions my man.

It seems like you're in the habit of just saying random shit without any desire to connect it to the conversation.

you're cute. I like your owners hat.

they don't ever. You're being silly

As opposed to there being any possible way to charitable interpret that as close to the truth.

Calling it a "logical conjunction" is a category error. Logical conjunctions don't have numerical values.

the same property. So kinetic and potential are the same as each other.

That's just objectively false

The only two options I can see are "plus", or saying "this numerical value is equal to kinetic energy; also it's equal to potential".

What other options are there?

that's not an explanation. You cannot use the symbol you're defining in the definition.

That's like you asking me what an apple is, and I say "it's the thing you're eating when you're eating an apple".

What's &? What's And?

When I calculate the numerical value of e, then you say "that's kinetic and potential energy", what's and?

I don't think there's any possible interpretation of "and" which would make "kinetic and potential energy" the thing that e refers to in Einstein's equation. You've told me and doesn't mean plus but you're refusing, perhaps out of embarrassment, to say what "and" does mean

You don't have to be embarrassed. Just say what it means

what question? Why don't we skip the dance and you explain what you mean?
