I found out I have Viking blood in me not too long ago. A bit of useless information for you. What do you think the Danes would say of Trump and his racist comments? Would you like him as your head of state? Regards DL I hope not. Danish People's Party would probably like him (Trump). They are amon...

Other laws/regulations in Denmark exists to suppress free speech, but the hate speech law is not the reason. I found out I have Viking blood in me not too long ago. A bit of useless information for you. What do you think the Danes would say of Trump and his racist comments? Would you like him as yo...

The failure of the three laws of logic. The three laws are as follows: The law of identity: P is P. The law of noncontradiction: P is not non-P. The law of the excluded middle: Either P or non-P.

To answer the questions of QuantumT: 1. Science is not being divided. While there are competing theories of the physical world, they all share the same goal of finding out what reality is made of, and more importantly, scientists are willing to give up their own theories if evidence is lacking or ev...

Do you really think bullshit 'hate-speech' laws would have stopped Hitler or Stalin? :lol: Stalin was a huge fan of 'hate-speech' laws. Shouldn't that be a clue??

Congratulations with your first "Original Post" or "Thread" :wink: Interesting questions indeed! I see some issues with symmetry in the human mind. If you read a book, and the author repeats the same adjectives, it seems annoying or even amateurish. Same goes for song lyrics. Ri...

So what are these natural principles? I'm not talking about evolution, but someth...

1. Yes and for as long as you like as long as its your post. 2. You can deleted it yourself if no-one has replied to it but if they have you'd have to ask me or the other mod but we're pretty loathe to do such things as we think you should think before you write.
