I like the idea that we can move philosophically. Time can’t move truth, and neither can man. Truth don’t dance. Philosophy is there to move man to truth in lieu of being dragged to it by suffering, if one but thinks. Minds discover the same truths that are always there to be found, no matter the l...

Thank God. And thanks for the opportunity to highlight context. Did you ever wonder why people as a rule usually don't voice the worst? It's not because of fear. * The people that led the attacks on Paris last Friday were French, Belgian and British. The perps of 9/11 were Saudi-Arabians - the ALLIE...

I puzzled by what you mean by "Try to kill me, fuck you". What can you mean? No one is trying to kill you: that's just childish paranoia. If you’re actually serious, then you have an infantile mind. The thread is about nations, simply check the thread title. Pay attention to the realities...

That's right. You have to own it. Fantasy is for Fantasy Island, which has some characters.

The Cain Mutiny and A Few Good Men are two military movies that tell the same story in completely different ways. In one, the boss is betrayed, and those who betray him suffer a moral whippin. In the other, the boss is revealed to be Evil Incarnate, and a raving maniac, and quite possibly insane. I...

It is just such infantile notions of good and evil which drive the whole sorry agenda for this sort of mess in the first place. Instead of dropping bombs on people we should be dropping smartphones on them because in the long run only education will save them from their oppressors. It has ever been...

Thank you for that. Until I saw it was a quote, I thought I was reading your words. :D The focus of philosophy is truth. For applied philosophy, life is obviously the measure of truth. Applied philosophy is present any time the body moves, whether or not the one in motion thinks of it that way. Phil...

The war is against evil, not the region. In peace or war, whether on offense or defense, the focus comes from the top. The top is always focused on something. The question is, what? The foremost job of government is defense. The top must begin the defense of good by declaring war against evil. Decla...

Can't somebody just give me a fair fight on this issue? This is a great opportunity. I need someone who hasn't already formed an opinion, or is opening to questioning what they think. Well if you don't mind restating your position and the issue very briefly, I'll see if anything pops up. Good show!...

Pop songs sing to God about desire, but Bach addressed the Glory of God with offerings.

Hey there Hex. I look forward to your serious and thoughtful postings, to perhaps joining in for an informative chat and drinking from the fountain of intelligence that you initially mention in the judo thread ... the kind of intelligence that doesn’t get one mauled. That’s a useful intelligence bec...
