It doesn't warrant an 'argument',... Ha ha ha...right on cue. I told you they would be derelict in arguing for their most important premise -- because they cannot -- and instead will simply say "it's obvious." It's so obvious that they cannot be bothered to articulate it. Oh my. You fail....

Oh look who's crawled out from under his rock, under the massive dark shadow cast by Trump. So you've noted that I've been away and mooed the words "Trump" and "dark shadow." LMAO. Compelling!!! I don't know what to say about the guy who posted a gif -- uhm, okay? Expect more of...

Notice the first response doesn't even attempt to take on the argument. This is called obfuscation. In philosophy, we call it a concession. I'm sorry, buddy, but I do philosophy. There are no argumentative fallacies that work on me. Either get an argument or go back to Buzzfeed. Let's keep a CARP ME...

CIA Water Boarding has returned as an issue (thank goodness) now that President Trump has voiced an openness to reinstating this practice. He said he would listen to his Secretary of Defense and others in his cabinet, so it's not a settled matter yet, but it's one that will likely rear its convolute...

1. Enjoy music less 2. Enjoy less music Number 1 reads to me as qualitative. For example, to someone who goes bananas when he hears something by Beethoven, we might say: "Calm down, dude, it's just music." Number 2 reads to me as quantitative. For example, to someone who listens to music ...

Are you deliberately playing stupid, or do you truly not understand? Besides, you must have lost a negation there - you are talking about somebody who does not believe in free will, right? Anyway, you seem to have missed this part of my argument: Knowing that the outcome is determined does not mean...

Ned, you coward and imbecile, quit littering this forum with non-philosophical posts. You're just suggesting that there's something immoral about joining the military. Vapid stuff. Grow a brain and learn to argue for your beliefs.

The assumption though is that, once you are in the army, you have to follow orders, regardless weather you agree with the ethical nature of the orders or not. Ignoring the fact that your argument is asinine, the above is simply false. Military personnel have the right to refuse any order they deem ...

In this post I'm going to make use of the notion of a complete moral theory, which I define as follows: -a complete moral theory admits no two actions that it cannot rank in order of moral worth. My argument will be that we need to be more careful about what we're looking for, in any attempt to sys...

Let's see...Trayvon had a criminal past and was a known bully among his schoolmates. That's pretty much the definition of a thug. Plus, he was beating Zimmerman, likely, to his death or, at least, unconscious. He had to be stopped. He was committing a crime. That's what nobody wants to talk about: h...

Maybe you missed the part where that thug was landing punches on Zimmerman MMA style, bashing his head against the ground? Trayvon is dead. The world is a better place. And this is no longer an ethical debate. This isn't philosophy. It's some street-smart morons posting their opinions in support of ...

This is definitely not the place for a philosophical discussion. Universals is a good topic. Why don't you start a discussion in the Metaphysics room? It could be focused on numbers, attribute agreement, or whatever. They all lead to the same discussion, basically: realists and non-realists. It woul...

I think you're just paranoid.

Thanks for the link, Kuznetzova.

Dude, you're an idiot. Try the Finger Painting Forum.
