    I have read your link. You tell me specifically what is not acceptable in my OP. This is unacceptable.
  • My posts are being removed. I wish to know on what grounds.
    I will keep placing this Op until you throw me off this forum or you give me a decent explanation why this op is unacceptable and not some link..

    Show me which rule I have transgressed?
    Have I offended anyone. Have I been rude, disrespectful. These are my genuine held beliefs and you have the temerity to delete them?

    And so what? Low quality. Is everything posted here of such high quality. The arrogance is absolutely mind blowing.

    Who gave you the power to decide what is and what is not acceptable.

    You have no right to do that. You fascist.
  • Pragmatic Idealism
    already having more money than you need and lending the rest at interest to those who don’t.

    — Pfhorrest



    Most people have more than they need but less than they want.
  • Pragmatic Idealism
    ↪Pfhorrest
    You are saying, the quickest way to be rich is to be rich.
  • What is knowledge?
    ↪creativesoul
    Can we agree that knowledge is information? Defining information is a lot easier.
  • Free Labour: A Hypothetical
    ↪Pfhorrest
    The problem with life is that I can't continue sleeping.
  • Pragmatic Idealism
    ↪Pfhorrest
    The quickest way to get rich is by not spending your money.
  • Philosophy and the Twin Paradox
    ou are not inertial, you are accelerating towards the centre of the Earth. (There is an equivalence between gravity and acceleration.) — A Seagull

    Why aren't we at the centre of the earth by now then?
  • Neoliberalism, anyone?
    To be clear, by "capitalism" do you just mean free trade, or do you mean the division of society into a class of owners and a class of laborers? — Pfhorrest

    Capitalism is the exploitation of a society by means of ones assets.
  • Neoliberalism, anyone?
    ey merely disguised the failures of socialism and the post-war consensus with market reforms, — NOS4A2

    The failure of socialism is that it prevents exploitation, (the dirty secret of unregulated capitalism.)
  • What time is not
    No it isn't. It 'is' the past and the future (and the present). Stop trying to be profound. Time is love on a tricycle. Time is what tomorrow needs to prevent it from being today. No, no, no. — Bartricks

    Time is a quality, like the colour blue.
  • Why do most philosophers never agree with each other?
    Maybe religion is the problem, not the cure. — A Seagull

    Maybe life is the problem and not religion.
  • A clock from nothing
    Time is measured by the movement of objects or particles. If no particles or ligh waves are moving then there is no time. — christian2017


    If that were the case, time would stand still in a perfect vacuum . The vacuum would disappear into the past.

  • Neoliberalism, anyone?
    No one sold neo-liberalism. It’s essentially anti-market term of abuse. — NOS4A2

    ↪StreetlightX


    Neo-liberalism is a political choice. Clinton, Thatcher, Blair, Bush they all started to deregulate and let the market loose what previously had been the public sector. Banks were deregulated, Public utilities sold off and then all the tax cut and tax breaks and tax havens to dismantle the rest.
  • Pragmatic Idealism
    I’m wondering where the notion of veneer of universal pragmatisms comes from. — Mww

    If it were up to us we would just shit in the street, but a veneer of universal pragmatism prevents us from doing that. That then becomes the
    fundamentals of civic morality as a matter of duty, not pleasure. — Enrique
  • Why do most philosophers never agree with each other?
    Religion is a lie; life is wonderful. — A Seagull

    For most people life is shit and religion helps.
  • Neoliberalism, anyone?
    ↪NOS4A2

    ↪StreetlightX


    The Victorians gave us liberalism and 2 world wars.
    Now 75 years later we are again in the shit, sold to us as Neo-liberalism .
  • Miracles as evidence for the divine/God
    NO, but the way anyone can understand pregnancy without being pregnant — god must be atheist

    If it was that easy, we would have figured it out 200.000 years ago.
  • Consumerism, The Cause and Resolution of Global Warming?
    appreciate the concept of consciousness and life — Lif3r

    I don't appreciate life with a death sentence. Hand the world back to the animals.
  • Consumerism, The Cause and Resolution of Global Warming?
    ↪Lif3r


    Consumerism, The Cause and Resolution of Global Warming?
    I think the best thing to do is not have kids and just enjoy the party while it lasts.
  • Miracles as evidence for the divine/God
    I meant aspects of it. Not the entire thing. — god must be atheist

    You mean like a woman can be a little bit pregnant?
  • What is knowledge?
    When something irritates our nose we sneeze, — Athena

    Did I mention coughing, sneezing, farting and banging your head against the wall?
    No Athena I don't think that is your nose talking. Maybe in your case it is doing the thinking.

    You hear of vocalizations? Have you heard of vocal chords? Do you think only humans have them? Ever hear a bird singing? Do you think it is doing that for our amusement? To entertain us?
  • Some Remarks on Bedrock Beliefs
    That's my point - knowledge as a skill is different from knowledge as a belief. — Sam26

    I totally agree with you. Practical skills have nothing to do with belief. How you apply your skills does but that is something entirely different.
  • Miracles as evidence for the divine/God
    you can internalize with limited wisdom — god must be atheist

    You can't internalize infinity. You don't have enough space.
  • Some Remarks on Bedrock Beliefs
    Knowledge as a skill is simply applied knowledge as a belief. — Harry Hindu

    Skill has nothing to do with belief.
  • Miracles as evidence for the divine/God
    ↪god must be atheist
    Understanding infinite time and space requires infinite wisdom.
  • A Perfect World?
    I'd really rather not speculate too much on this one! — Devans99

    Empire State building? 5 minutes?
    You don't like discussing death?
    I like it. It is the only certainty we have in life.
  • Miracles as evidence for the divine/God
    ↪god must be atheist
    The Universe is clock for which you can't change the batteries.
  • Does belief in the material world secure belief in God?
    2. If you believe in material world, then you believe in God. — gnat

    This is nonsense. Only if you believe in a spiritual world would you believe in God.
    Every scientific atheist believes in a material world.

    ↪Seagully
  • Procreation is using people via experimentation
    t is futile to keep on creating more children. They will all die — Andrew4Handel

    Why hand out a death sentence to an innocent child when they haven't done anything wrong?
  • Why do most philosophers never agree with each other?
    Religion is not right or wrong, it is based on nothing. — god must be atheist

    It is not based on nothing.It is based on the belief that you have an immortal soul that will survive the death of your body.
  • Neoliberalism, anyone?
    ↪NOS4A2

    ↪unenlightened


    We are not seeing the elephant in the room and that is migration and racism. All these brown people and foreigners 'invading' Britain and the US is what has created this popular movement. Racists want to keep Britain and the US ethnically white and the lower class is seeing their jobs being taken over by foreigners. In the meantime their social benefits are being eroded while the rich get even richer.
  • Morality of the existence of a God
    Would that also then mean that God has the ability to create evil, even be evil himself? — chromechris

    Wouldn't be much of God if he is not capable of creating evil.
  • Why aliens will never learn to speak our language
    If I could, I would prefer to believe in a benevolent God. — ovdtogt

    Wouldn't that be great? Like having super powerful parents. Anytime you need something you can go and binge off them and stay a child for the rest of your life.
  • Why do most philosophers never agree with each other?
    The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. — Richard Dawkins

    We had created a God in our own image.
  • Why aliens will never learn to speak our language
    ↪TheMadFool


    If I could, I would prefer to believe in a benevolent God.
