Or you can interpret that Plato's dialogue is written by that guy, in that society with all the attendant polytheistic assumptions intractably baked in as IC does. As Socrates does, actually. As you can see, he's at great pains to make sure he gets that point before proceeding with Euthyphro. And n...

What you attribute to God as his nature, and how that determines morality, is a mere assumption that whatever the Bible says is true, but that is just a gratuitous allowance on your part. We'll see. I think it's not, you think it is. We'll find out. What we may or may not find out sometime never, i...

Have I persuaded you that, in context, this ... … (dont mention gold bullion or Prince Gabanji your uncle that just needs to unlock his bank account with a large deposit to make us all rich) ...was a little bit racist? If you would give me a precise definition of the word, "racist", I wil...

So again, the missing piece for the skeptic is this: a grounded, objective conception of "the Good" that can be demonstrated to be definitely not consonant with the nature of God. The existence of the dichotomy the skeptic wants to propose must be shown , not merely assumed or gratuitousl...

That's not true; we still have some room left. Don't miss the train Harbal! I hope you've got your flag packed and a bag full of Yorkshire Puddings to throw at the police if they start with their brutality. He could take some extras to share with his bestie Sculptor. From what I gather, he is much ...

Read the first sentence of the quotation more carefully.

Which quote?

You'll figure it out. You're a bright boy.

I doubt it, I've already moved on.

Certainly. HAMAS had declared it to be its very first objective. As has been rightly said, "If the Arabs laid down their arms, war would cease in the Middle East tomorrow. If the Jews laid down their arms, the Jews would cease to exist tomorrow." So you are saying the solution is death to...

Can you explain how the proposition of creating a state comprising both populations is equal to •death to the Jews?• :) Certainly. HAMAS had declared it to be its very first objective. As has been rightly said, "If the Arabs laid down their arms, war would cease in the Middle East tomorrow. If...

..we villagers and our gossip & bickering, tis all that matters. I see it as being more like a local pub than a village. A sort of international Rovers Return. R.jpeg As much as I love a place where Ale is flowing. It is definitely too cramped of a space to put up with all the Americans especia...

I did not post Jack Marshall's piece for you. I posted it to the forum. I realize that most will not care to read it, or to be concerned about American politics, and to prefer *bickering*, and so be it ... For the record, I didn't care to read it, and I much prefer bickering. Just a bit of feedback...

By systems analysis, perhaps?

I too would support and encourage Emmanuel to take issue with atto if he was so inclined, natch. I'm not encouraging him, I'm just saying he's the only one who knows whether he feels offended. But are you suggesting that only those who are victims of a racist speech or action can call it out? If yo...
