  • Does the mind occupy a space?
    ↪Daniel
    Yes. Anything measurable does.
  • Animals are Happier than humans
    ↪Gitonga
    Cats do not kill their prey "quite swift".
  • Animals are Happier than humans
    ↪Gitonga
    Just because Thais smile in nearly every circumstance it doesn't mean they are happy. I also think you need to jump out of an aeroplane with a parachute before you tell others how wonderful skydiving is. Now .... on to the subject of animals .....
  • Argument: Why Fear Death?

    ↪christian2017

    LOL.
  • Argument: Why Fear Death?
    "Why Fear Death?"
    Because we don't know if the after-life consists of our dreams of bedding the neighbour's beautiful wife or of our nightmares of being pursued by ferocious monsters.
  • What is your description, understanding or definition of "Time"?
    Time = counting rhythmic beats on an internationally-accepted scale.
  • The Objectification Of Women
    ↪Possibility
    Your response is silly by way of your statements, by way of your contradictions of those statements, and by way of absurd conclusions based upon assumptions. Furthermore, you insist on saying "it's their choice" and telling me it's "no concern of mine".
    1. We are discussing "their choices" and how they come by those choices. That's what this discussion is all about.
    2. It most certainly is "my concern" because (hello?) that's what this discussion is all about.
  • The Objectification Of Women
    Here’s a tip: before making generalised assumptions about a woman’s intention in wearing a low-cut neckline or a mini-skirt, you could take the time to ASK her if there’s a particular reason why she wore that outfit today - and then LISTEN to what she has to say. ..... — Possibility
    If women (in general) were individualistic then asking them would be good advice. But women are flock creatures, who not only follow the trend found in magazines and adapted by their friends but will also tell you, "I dress for myself" which cannot be relied upon by any means what-so-ever. If you can be a silly-cone boob, fake eyelash, plucked and tattooed eyebrow, outrageously coloured eye-shadow, plastic fingernails, bright lipstick, apologist then help yourself. But tell me .... how do you justify high-heeled shoes that are (for all purposes) voluntary stumble-handicaps?
  • The Objectification Of Women
    Make no mistake: Women do not clothe themselves for the purpose of pleasing men. Women choose their attire in direct competition with (and for) other women. It is precisely how we men choose our sports cars. We do it to impress other men, not for the purpose of attracting women.

    So, please leave men out of the “The Objectification Of Women” equation. We’ve got nothing to do with it.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Valentinus
    Disagreement ≠ Disapproval. Iteration ≠ Strong
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Valentinus
    I do not agree that Christianity is the way to self-awareness for the benefit of "doing better, good, and necessary". Not at all. Not in the least. Not in the slightest.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Valentinus
    I'm 73 myself and as cantankerous as they come. I don't know if I am easily "angered" but irritation does set in from time to time. However, I suspect that our friend is flipping and flopping "his own project" intentionally either to upset us or to cover up and back-peddle his original mistake.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Valentinus
    That he "abandoned his own project". Did you notice it too? That is also precisely what I'm trying to tell him.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Gnostic Christian Bishop
    If you are feeling insulted then it is from your conscious because I haven't insulted you.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Gnostic Christian Bishop
    All of that yet your personal character didn't improve the slightest bit.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Gnostic Christian Bishop
    You are way out of your depths. What you've written on the last two pages is a textbook example of hypocrisy and trying to bluff your way out of it isn't working very well.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Gnostic Christian Bishop
    You've got yourself lost in your own labyrinth of confusion.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Valentinus
    I agree.Boasting morality is a filthy business.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Gnostic Christian Bishop
    I find it cruel to make children believe a load of lies.
  • Is inaction morally wrong?
    ↪Frank Apisa
    Giving a warning to the guy standing there constitutes some degree of heroism. You are not culpable for his death if he chooses to remain where he is.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Gnostic Christian Bishop
    Not much sense in what you say. I am a parent myself and I do not let my children believe in such nonsense > > > God, Easter Bunny, Father Christmas ... each of them fantasy hence no power to allot any "rights" to anyone.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Pfhorrest
    Exactly!
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    ↪Pfhorrest

    Too much truth in one post for most mortal men to comprehend.
  • God given rights. Do you really have any?
    God given rights? Do the Easter Bunny or Father Christmas have any responsibilities?
  • Is inaction morally wrong?
    "Five people tied, unable to move" as opposed "one person just standing idly" enjoying the smell of rail grease and the sound of the arc welder inside the shed?

    There are only two choices to make:
    1. pull the switch and inform the idiot standing there that he is about to meet his maker if he doesn't shift his body or
    2. "Inch Allah!" Nothing immoral about that - if you are a Moslem.

    I'm pulling the switch.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪ssu
    He-he!:grin:
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪ssu
    You're not telling me that you believe Trump goes about trying to kiss everybody. Get serious.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪Michael
    ↪Michael
    I cannot agree with that. I mean, whatever you think of Trump I see Hillary Clinton being much, much worse .... particularly when it comes to honesty.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪Michael
    Leaders of Democratic nations are meant to serve their respective population. Trump is a President who makes as many decisions as is feasibly possible. Hillary Clinton doesn’t have adequate intelligence to make any decisions so she allows others to do it for her. Who are they serving and who do you (or I) think they should serve?
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪ssu
    Trump wasn't trying to kiss anyone. He was speaking French. "Bonjooour!"
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    ↪NOS4A2
    I think your assessment of the role the U.S. played in overthrowing one government and shoeing in a Fascist one is an understatement.
  • Donald Trump (All General Trump Conversations Here)
    Whatever anyone might say about Donald Trump it cannot be denied that his greatest contribution will be remembered and celebrated all through American history as having been the man who prevented Hillary Clinton from soiling the White House anew.
  • Depression a luxury of the time?
    Yes. We have too much time to think about our misfortunes and underachievements.
