Rocks, stones, cats and dogs are outside the scope of human nature. As such, it is very silly in this particular case to conflate human-nature with non-human nature to counter the related argument re human-natured moral obligations. Discuss?? Views?? - Cats, dogs and humans share a lizard brain. - ...

I'll probably never really understand how on Earth a philosophy forum derived from a reputable, respectable philosophy magazine can devolve into posts like this. And, perhaps, why they are tolerated? Now, over at ILP, they have this thing called "the rant room". It's a place where declama...

Trump is not dictatorial.
His presidency is the proof.

Biden is a dictator.
His presidency is the proof.

The persecution of Trump is itself a destruction of democracy, implemented by corrupting and weaponizing the legal system, in this case for political purposes to destroy a strong political opponent for the presidency. Biden and company are already destroying dem...

The Hook

From back in the olden days not so long ago, when offensive was funny.

Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
