I feel like a prisoner.

Consciousness defies a specific denotative definition. And yet you talk about it all the time? :roll: I could give you an example of ego: ... You just have. :roll: Your technique of asking and asking and asking fellow members questions not to receive a useful specific answer but to use whatever ans...

... As Dr. Stephen Pinker - in an article entitled "The New Science of Moral Sense" - says, “In many areas of life two parties are objectively better off if they both act in a non-selfish way than if each of them acts selfishly. You and I are both better off if we share our surpluses, res...

A_UK: London huh? Haven't I seen you in the Tyburn pub at the end of Edgware Road. This is what I look like: More subs now but when are you there? As whilst you look a touch intense I like your thoughts and would be happy to buy you a pint as its been a while since I've been in the west end. When m...

Anyone else smells natural fallacy here? Nope. The natural fallacy would be if Prof approved of something simply because it was "good" (i.e. exemplifies its nature). I think VOT was probably referring to Bill Wiltracks post. Although that may have be closer to the fallacious "appeal ...

Each one of these representations we call words are just one of our egos climbing to the top of our consciousness. And each picture comes with a message from ones unconscious. You get that yes? You know that right? You're able to understand that? I understand that until you explain the difference b...

:lol: I see! When you express your 'feelings' its all hunky-dory but when I do... No, I have no really good 'material', at least none I'm up to posting on the weeb yet as what I think about I wish to do in the real world, as I've read a lot of philosophy so am under no delusions about my thoughts no...

Hear that banging? Its your closet door. Amazing what your choice of pictures says about your unconscious. Must start posting them on a freudian psychology site. They'll have a field day.

WE ALL post to feel superior to others.

You'd know this how?

So why are you posting in this thread? As whilst bob and I have digressed we're still roughly in the same area of concern and were following a thought others raised whereas you appear to just be sticking your oar in. I hate to say it but I prefer bob to you as at least he is willing to argue his cas...

I guess that makes you the third forker then. Instead of cut-pasting from your stock why not actually do what your words suggest. Say something about the idea of some sections of a countrys politicians wishing to ban some types of Internet pornography. Oh! No! I forgot, you see nothing pornographic ...

Ergo, you post to feel superior to others.

Is this the US Code definition of sex-trafficking, yes or no??? (9) Sex trafficking The term “sex trafficking” means the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act. Calm down bob. My apologies, So yes you will be sex-trafficki...

Did you click on my link bob? I doubt it, as you'd find that ALL I POSTED THAT YOU DENIED COMES FROM THE SAME PAPER! Boob. So this boob, 'That crap you listed is not from the U.S. Code because the U.S. Code is not even written that way.' is false in at least two ways. It was the purpose and context ...

... On the other hand, there is another possibility: what if consciousness is a non-local phenomenon which is received, modified, and transmitted locally by the brain - much the way that radio waves are received, modified, and transmitted by a radio set? If you were to present somebody wholly ignor...

For definitions, please read my link above. You call me a twat? In the U.S., twat means ****, and you certainly have one and are one! Understand how your disabilities work yet bob? Click my link to YOUR site and you'll find exactly what I cited from the ORIGINAL paper, its the same paper! Just wrap...
