oh ok. im so used to some people say it in a way that they`re saying they are better people for it, and they are in a way, but they say it in a smug way.

dont think anyone has said that its not OK for begging on the streets

It doesn't follow that classical conservatives have little or no positive regard for 'strangers — gloaming

classical conservatives has a positive regard for "strangers" for sure, just not necceserily by the people that are able to help these "strangers"

Yes, perhaps you are right. I once heard that religious conservatives contribute the most to charities, moreso than liberals. — Posty McPostface

what do you think that means?

I have allways viewed pessimism as something more protecting than the opposite, optimism. for if there is now happy ending(in lack of better words) and the truth is terrible then that would be terrible because the pessimist was prepared and the optimist would suffer and eventually become a pessimist.

maybe people can to easily succomb to pessimism if they knew the terrible truth

how do pessimism fail?

beauty is a relationship — BrianW

...if a relationship is beautiful? :razz:

im a bit dim :) but could anyone explain the "objective" and the "subjective" for me :) its "beauty" and "beautiful" right?

i may sound like a bastard now, but im gonna be honest and say that I could never feel love or compassion towards a complete stranger I have never met before, as I would someone I am close to. dosent even come close. to me it dosnt feel natural. I do wonder tho, how many of the "able" are "willing" to give reguarly to charity...

.

and what about the 6 million dwaves who was incinirated by smaug!

Does classical conservatism restrict to favour only those known to them? — gloaming

its not for everyone

I wonder if there are any statistics about charity....and if it could be trusted.

yeah, its quite tragic :( R.I.P

actually, that argument would be a great way into guilt-tripping people into donating. if you were an asshole offcourse :meh:

best just to mention this right away; that exemple isnt something I would say :) im not much of a giver.

if the argument became: this dosent matter if everyone do there "small" piece to help others." does the matter then become a question of not beliving everyone will do their part, so you wount either?

we need nukes because, trust issues :roll:

I used to think logic was the same as common sense... :sad:

could it just be a dream, interpreted as something more or something different?

there are philosophies preventing anyone to not help other?

The problem is that philosophy appears to be inadequate for addressing issues of such great scale. Thus, I'm proposing that philosophy is basically a clever parlor game which some folks are lucky enough to get paid to play. — Jake

oh, if only philosophers would show an interest in nuclear weapons! we wouldnt need to fear nuclear annihilation anymore!

if it needs so much maintaining then maybe its better to destroy it and start anew.. maybe fixing something is a sign for "it" not to be created strong/good enough.

Im in the liquor party....

oh, shit, I didnt know. im just new to this :)

the skeptic speaks logic

a politician still need a nice smile and a bag full of charm :)

offcourse, neither do I think that thing was all that made it possible for hitler to put to life his riech.

I mean if you were young, you may not have had to much knowlegde about it

could I ask what your age is?

I have allready said that its important to communicate well. if either of them was unhappy with something, that they need to talk about it. this goes for sex too, if someone isnt in the mood e.c.t.

as I said earlier. comunication is the key. honesty and fairness ect.

"is as if, during the act of sex, morality sort of goes out the window"
really? whats wrong with sex?

He also noted that "Tyranny is always better organized than freedom." sounds like a job for the goverment :)

maybe the true issue with free-speech-for-all, isnt the one that is spreading hateful opinions and so on, but the ones that are to easily manipulated by him, when they should know that what he is saying isnt right.

"sexually satisfied women are much less likely to riot in the streets."

pussy riot! hehe, sorry couldnt help myself. :)

I think I must be missing the point...

Which species will have more individuals, and thus be more likely to survive? The one with the pleasurable sex, or the one with “meh”? — 0 thru 9

shouldnt it be; the one with a condom or the one without?

t.v. movies and fashion magazines probally has a hand in this...
