@praxis is quite leftist, actually. Thank you for vocalizing that.

Oh, so we are using 70 year old movies made for the purpose of 'entertainment' as our sources now?
How can you sink so low? — Kinglord1090

:rofl:

If we had no emotions we would be a society of pod people (don't watch if you haven't seen the movie):

thanks for the link; Samsung is a great option.

Every living thing 'inherently fears' to cease living, no? — 180 Proof

@180 Proof knows for a fact that trees 'inherently fear' the cessation of their being.

I'll be on the maple syrup tonight.

Beyond that, this thread where we all say snotty things behind the backs of those who can no longer defend themselves sets a very poor example from the top.

This is something that has always bothered me. If it's important that the person be kicked out in order to maintain the quality of the forum, so be it. Gloating once it's done is stomach-turning. It's especially distressing when it comes from moderators — T Clark

@DingoJones is the main perpetrator of this

This guy is pretty clued up about Chinese matters:

The Opposite maybe you have some practical things to add? — Benkei

I didn't get a notification for this for some reason...

I live quite a nomadic/frugal life not buying many products in general - so I naturally boycott Chinese goods. This may be the best method...

Sony phones are "made in Japan" which means that at least most of the value added activity was performed there but I think it's likely components are sourced from China. Also : fairphone — Benkei

I think Samsung phones are primarily made in Vietnam, although cheaper models are made in China.

schoolyard retort.

it's a good idea to keep an open mind. Don't be influenced by these dogmatic weirdos who have been preaching that shit for years on these forums... they're just as bad as the God-botherers/the other side of the coin.

Enough with the woo-of-the-gaps wishful / magical thinking. — 180 Proof

All thought is magic, you cretin.

the 'inevitable' — Jack Cummins

Why does this necessarily have to be nothingness? This is merely a prevailing view on this small corner of the internet, with the main proponents (/fusty old men who live rather sad lives constantly trying to prove other people wrong on here) being @180 Proof @Banno. However, ultimately, it's just another idea about what happens after death - no one alive knows.

There's no reason to think there is any, for either. — Banno

There's no reason to think anything you or @180 Proof say is true

"I" "don't" "have" "to" "provide" "evidence". "I'm" "not" "on" "trial" "here" ☆■□《》○

What consciousness is beyond our universe?

What consciousness is beyond death?

May your journey be as fruitful as you wish it. — Kiingarian

That was a dude with a profile pic of a chick

In the last couple of weeks, a thread has been created, and going strongly, on what proof would be convinced people that there was life after death. — Jack Cummins

What thread is that? I haven't been around much recently..

and if there is nothing, we won't have the consciousness to even know this at all. — Jack Cummins

I think that unconsciousness is part of life - sleep. Death doesn't deal in consciousness or unconsciousness

Did we get a conclusive answer on this?

No, because after the singularity everything that ever existed (data) will be regenerated.

how on earth did you post in here when it's closed?

is it enough to just know the root, the fall? How to move past that?

the possibility — Banno

the possibility — ssu

And that's all you two are gonna get. The CCP are not imparting shit.

Here's another piece that gets a bit deeper into anger. — unenlightened

So the 'stimulus' is what the other person does, the 'cause' is our thinking and the 'root' is the fact we were educated to think violently, or is it our unmet need? I don't understand what the root is

The good old days of PF are dead and gone, they're in the grave with Blue Blood.

well, that's true actually.

What would you do if the trolley was on my son's track?

But my own culture is what I speak from. — unenlightened

Why do you have to talk from that?

But I suspect you are bullshitting and know not of what you speak. — unenlightened

I'm not bullshitting, but I'm not sure I'm contributing much. It's difficult to answer the question because I don't have any children. Although, if I did have a son I think I would switch the trolley - not sure which road that is... 66?

Well aren't we multicultural! — unenlightened

This thread is too monocultural; Christianity doesn't even have a god of death - only evil. The Aztecs had a god of death who lived with his wife in a windowless house.

In Aztec society it was an honour to be sacrificed.

a) What sort of political realities or solutions would you like to see in Israel/Palestine?

b) How likely is your imagined solution? — coolazice

a) Hopefully population growth will eventually slow in the fertile crescent as it has been in many other countries recently and the two sides will have some breathing space.

b) It's likely if the younger generation turn into a bunch of internet nerds as they have in other countries.

There won't be any more leftist politics until the inevitable war with the robots.



Unless proportional representation is actually brought in.

Trees and rocks have consciousness - but it's the consciousness of the dead.

Don't point at an interesting looking tree because the spirit within might follow you home...

I'm wondering if some insults anger you lead to you feeling angry more than others — TLCD1996

Being called brainless or someone saying I have a fucked up mentality.

sometimes it's hard to follow the advice... if someone says an insult to me it's difficult not to strike back or analyse them and why they said the insult.

seems very opinion-based, no sources mentioned (wishful thinking on my part?)
