I agree with Harbal’s point that one cannot assess a book for its age appropriateness without reading it, but I think it is only necessary to read from the beginning until an age inappropriate passage is found. It isn't only a question of age appropriateness, although I do acknowledge that we need ...

Complicating the matter is the question of who determines what is inappropriate. A large ...

Wait...wuuuuut?!

Please make this make sense.

It just doesn’t. You gotta ask Trump.

Trump is working from Hitler's playbook. Isn't Trump supporting Israel and Jews while Biden throwing them under the bus to Hamas? Wouldn't Hitler be against Israel and Jewry? Your argument isn't making any sense, Sculptor. Trump favors Israel because of his hatred of Muslims. Trump favors Israel bu...

Who here, aside from Seeds, is claiming that sight requires consciousness? Atto. When light strikes photoelectric sensors, or photosensitive nerve endings, and converts light into electrical impulses, that is seeing. AI sees nothing. A computer cannot see. Thus when light strikes photoelectric sens...

Is this not illegal in the USA??

It is unethical but not illegal.

The West is tolerant only to views that align with its own, which are in turn essentially depraved. For example, if you are a gender-fluid mostly homosexual transgender drug addict who lives off prostitution by giving sloppy blowjobs in dark back alleys, your views will not just be tolerated, they ...

We all know that belief in a fad diet can be a matter of "faith" - but from there, how do we make the leap that "science becomes a faith?" Science is evidence-based. "Faith" is a firm belief which is held in the absence of scientific evidence. Isn’t there a belief that...

In fact i think grandma and grandpa Crumbley should be charged with involuntary manslaughter becuz they missed the red flags raising the Crumbley parents when they were kids, and therefore could be held responsible for contributing to the school shooting. Misbehaved and/or abnormal kids might make ...

These impact statements are always so droning and long and horribly read. Yeah yeah we know. He was special... he lit up the room, loved to help people, had big plans for college. They all do, lady. Please don't ever let anyone read an impact statement about me if I end up getting shot. Prom was ju...

Yes, but you tiptoed around implications. The final arbiter concerning classified documents trumps assistant arbiters, such as those mentioned. The commander in chief trumps the generals, although there's plenty of grunts around. https://media.breitbart.com/media/2024/04/Donald-Trump-eclipse-April-...

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT PURPOSE IS, NOR WHAT WILL IS, in order to assess the difference between human purpose, or will, and computer purpose or will. What is purpose, or will, would be a great question for a sidebar or another thread, but not a necessary question for comparisons. Please disregard th...

But what does "1" refer to? 1 what? I have no idea what you are talking about if I don't know what your scribbles are referring to. Sure, logically your statement, N ≠ N+1 is sound, but we are talking about wills and purposes, not Ns and 1s. Your statement could refer to anything and isn'...
