vegetariantaxidermy, it’s really not about Krauss, or PC, or even philosophy for you, is it? I don’t know if it is all just an online game you are playing or if there is something deep and disturbing that you are struggling with. In either case, I am not interested being involved. Despite your stea...

This Fuckin' PC. A LA College student wanted to distribute the US Constitution in Campus but was told he can only do that within the two-car-park-size space allocated for free speech. :shock: :shock: In the FUTURE, they will allow free speech in the cubicles and eventually banned. WTF is going on w...

Look it up yourself. I've had it with your dishonest and disingenuous bullshit. I'm pretty sure I wrote a thread on Cosby too which was totally ignored, so stick your slimy insinuations up your arse.

'Noise'? Everything you don't agree with is 'noise'?

Still. I have to commend you for responding. The silence is deafening on here. The religious nuts don't want to defend an outspoken atheist (even though they claim to hate Political Correctness; and the ''PCProgressives'' are motivated only by politics and really don't give a flying fuck about anyon...

Once again you have provided support for my initial claims. You have difficulty separating the truth of the allegations against him from the response to those allegations. You have difficulty accepting institutional and organizational ethical norms. If how you act here is indicative of how you act ...

The argument is actually quite simple: a)If someone is accused of something the truth of the accusation in independent of whatever your views on PC or feminism or anything else happen to be. b)The truth of the allegations does not change if it is against “intellectuals, scientists and creative”. c)...

So you are asking people to predict the future then. Ok.

It is evident that what it really at issue for you is not something that can be addressed through rational discussion. I could make a snide remark but it is very possible the the problem is not something to be joked about. I can’t say I had not been warned. Come back when you've learnt how to const...

Vegetariantaxidermy: You haven't produced a reasoned argument. But I have. It is Socratic. I have demonstrated exactly what I claimed. All that you have provided is sloganeering about “PC” and lazy thinking. In response to my questioning your claims you have been unable to defend them. Defend what?...

And there you have it. Resorting to personal insults and non sequiturs when the ability to defend a reasoned argument fail. :lol: :lol: :lol: You haven't produced a reasoned argument. What's wrong? Don't have any philosophers to fall back on? Insults don't negate an argument. They are 'argument neu...

Vegetariantaxidermy: Different 'FROM' you illiterate yank. Different ‘THAN’ is an accepted American English standard. Its usage does not make one illiterate. The rules of grammar are not invariant, they change with time and place. Some sources consider the different to be one of style rather than g...

Vegetariantaxidermy: Btw, not a single one of the salemwitchhysteria allegations remotely resembles genuine rape, assault or abuse. There's nothing about rape there. I’ll ask you again, how much further would it have had to go before it “remotely resembles genuine rape”? The allegation is that he p...

According to Kabbalah “En Sof” (ein sof, eyn sof), the boundless, infinite God is not the god who is manifest. All that is named, all that is attributed to God, is not En Sof, who is unknowable and incomprehensible. So, when we speak of God it is an inferior god, limited by what we can conceive and...

vegetariantaxidermy: The 'allegations' are beyond pathetic, even if they were true. From the Buzzfeed article: Suddenly, he lifted her by the arms and pushed her onto the bed beneath him, forcibly kissing her and trying to pull down the crotch of her tights. Hensley said she struggled to push him o...
