You just can't help yourself, can you? You are a Moral Objectivist, even while pleading you're not. Okay, so where do you suppose I'm getting my objective morality from? I think morality is objective. That means it exists independent of your assessment. Right will be right, even when you don't know...

We are not told.

I'm not as distracted by the bible as you,...

"Distracted"? You asked me a question of Biblical import, one that only God could answer. So if you've got a better source of information, what is it?

Just obnoxious. Are you saying only "I feel obnoxiousness," or "He IS obnoxious"? Both. Then you're admitting to meaning the second one, and the first is irrelevant. You're admitting that you are making an objective judgment. It has to be, if you have any reasonable expectation ...

Just obnoxious. It has to be one or the other. There's no third option. So which is it? Just obnoxious. Are you saying only "I feel obnoxiousness," or "He IS obnoxious"? And not even willing to have your opinion known, it would seem. Quite the contrary: I'm not renowned for my r...

He's an obnoxious person, and if you can't see that for yourself, it certainly throws your judgement into question. Objectively "obnoxious," or only "subjectively"? Just obnoxious. It has to be one or the other. There's no third option. So which is it? So you find his "fait...

Couldn’t an amoral narcissist qualify to be the next Hitler? There are nothing but amoral narcissists in the uni-party in Washington these days, and they're all little Hitlers in their own way. What gives you reason to think that Trump would be especially bad in that respect? Not especially bad, bu...

If you don't object to him as a human being, then you aren't really going to understand my objections to him. I didn't say, either way. But it's not relevant. You're a Subjectivist. You say you believe that morality is made up by the various "subjects" who hold to it. So what's your evide...

Well, knowing your views on subjective morality, I would have expected you to take a very dim view of people with absolutely no morality. Be specific: what has he done, as president of the US, that I should be objecting to? If you don't object to him as a human being, then you aren't really going t...

Of course, you don't care either way, you're not an American, so you have an unbiased bias. 🙂 I actually have no horse in the race. But I don't think Biden is anywhere close to mentally competent (which is why Sculpy is so dead against "whataboutery" at this particular moment, because she...

But what sort of signal does it send to the world to have the most sorry excuse for a human being imaginable as the President of the USA? I'm surprised at you, Trump is the antithesis of everything you say you believe in. What do you think that is? What's he for, that I should be against? Well, kno...

I have to say, guys, I'm amused by the nervousness. And I find it quite funny that Dem supporters actually think people should be all anxious and in knots about a possible second Trump term. If Trump does essentially what he did the last time in office, I'd say you have nothing to worry about. Rath...

Well, okay.

Thanks for your time. I think I've got what I can out of your view.

You're upset ...

Not a bit. And not about Trump. I'm not even in his country. Funny how wildly wrong people's guesses can be.

Except you're upset...

Except I'm not at all.
