This is done to the tiniest details to avoid inroads of criticism. You explain everything, like in a math proof, leaving nothing to guesswork — god must be atheist

I'm always totally willing to pretend to listen to the masses. — jamalrob

Sorry Tiff, I don't get it. Sponsoring people? Betting?

Well unless someone can make a case for a subscriber-only area, I don't think it'll happen. — jamalrob

This isn't helping your case. — jamalrob

Ah, green as in dollars? Finally it makes sense. — jamalrob

I don't get the impression that reason has a gender. — Manuel

Once that's settled, is philosophy sexy? — jgill

I guess you mean a subscriber-only section of the forum. Well, it's an idea. Not sure about it. — jamalrob

You just like fury pelts. — Banno

I think I'd bet on cyber warfare. — Banno

Porn would be more acceptable than arms trading. — Banno

Seems His Majesty jamalrob is not as keen on raising funds as previous owners. Do you think he makes his money from drugs or porn? — Banno

I would like to suggest a Green Room kind of place that you actually have to be a member of the forum AND log in to see.
Thoughts?
It was a great fund raiser — ArguingWAristotleTiff

Plato and Aristotle both probably can be blamed or credited with almost everything that's happened since they were alive. IMO — John McMannis

Don't blame the messenger, Tiff :zip: — 180 Proof

Aristotle's worldview contains – requires? – misogyny and slavery which coincides with the Biblical, especially Christian, worldview. The Church didn't need the Nicomachean Ethics to rationalize its "chauvanism". — 180 Proof

If I wanted to post on facebook I would use facebook. — I like sushi

It is incredibly easy to confuse the behaviour of a rain drop with the behaviour of rain - as in the behaviour of a man/woman with the behaviour of men/women. — I like sushi

You do it one more time and I pass out in a fit of ecstasy.

Just please wait five minutes... I need to get comfortable. You don't want me to pass out with my bladder full.

(I know I am just bladdering now.) — god must be atheist

Hi. My name's John27. I'm just some dude. I try to be the best I can be, even if sometimes its a lot harder than it seems. Thanks for having me. — john27

I see. :up:

The problem still remains though. Cookies = Original, impressive, brainwork. You get an A either way. Professors aren't able to tell the difference between the two. Perhaps we should carry out a thorough investigation of the matter. Burglar alarms go off, unwanted thief or welcome guest. — Agent Smith

I don't know how far this is true but I was told that professors give an A grade in return for sexual favors — Agent Smith

Without a doubt, the best belongs to Benkei.

Gestalt is a German word generally "loosely" translated in English to mean: "The whole is different from the sum of the parts". Originally, gestalt was adopted by psychology to cover about a half-dozen "rules" (or principles) to show how our brain organizes visual information. One of those rules is about "grouping", and demonstrates how the brain organizes (visual stimuli groups) into what we "see" as objects. The objects are then different from the different stimuli sums used to create the objects - hence, the whole is different from the sum of the parts. — Don Wade

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not wrong. — T Clark

So, think that one through guys, and realize mean spirited hateful statements have consequences beyond what you might think. This isn't the boys locker room. Everyone is welcome here. Excusing his conduct might seem kind hearted to him, but it wouldn't be to many others — Hanover

Sometimes I forget my point too so no worries. Thank you for endorsing this discussion, It really means a lot to me. — Average

Be true to yourself and let the cards fall where they may. I'm in just such a situation now. It's exhilarating. — frank

Maybe I was reading it uncharitably. — jamalrob

In other words, reality just is and no amount of mental manipulation/acrobatics can/will alter/affect it. Reality then is that which you have to accept. — TheMadFool

Jesus said it best: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? — jamalrob
