Standards, Ideals, and the Will to Power Explained in Terms of Need
A living being is ordering within disordering, in other words it's the continual attempt to make a distinguished pattern in otherness. Life's fundamental aspect is need. Living beings have the need to sustain, then when possible grow, and when possible create or procreate. All those needs are fundam...

Re: The idea of gender being learned and sexual orientation
Many people claim that homosexuals can't choose their orientation. why does this even matter? if someone were to decide, out of the blue, that they want to start having sex with people of their own gender, would that make any difference? there would still be no reason (or at least a good reason) to...

Re: The idea of gender being learned and sexual orientation
If homosexuals and their supporters want to viciously shame those against their so-called "civil rights movement" ... Ah, I see you have an emotional hostility to calls for gay rights, Stuart. I'm emotionally hostile to any duplicity of epic proportions. I don't consider homosexuality to ...

Re: The idea of gender being learned and sexual orientation
Problem is sometimes the sexual confusion is a passing phase of life, so should we teach something that won't last their entire life? What about those who feel like both sexes or no sex at all? We could try to teach nothing whatsoever on the matter, specifically, and instead simply list options. I'...

Re: The idea of gender being learned and sexual orientation
It seems that if one is unable to choose or be indoctrinated into his sexual oreintation, then he wouldn't be able to choose or be indoctrinated into his gender role either. This premise, on which your whole thesis is based, seems highly dubious, Stuart. Why do you believe gender roles to be subjec...

The idea of gender being learned and sexual orientation not.
Many people claim that homosexuals can't choose their orientation. Often the same people claim that children shouldn't be taught stereotypical male-female gender roles, nor should be taught gender roles at all. It seems that if one is unable to choose or be indoctrinated into his sexual oreintation,...

Describing the subject of morals.
Below I'll describe the subject of morals as it is used when speaking common English, without concern for published works on the subject, which often don't correspond to the subject's common usage, and often confuse the subject rather than simplify. ---------- Morals are a type of rule. To speak of ...

Re: The Right To Be Offended
You believe the team owners' struggle against the liberals isn't principled or noble? Me neither. I think they are cynical, self-centred, short-sighted arseholes. For the struggle against liberals to be noble, one must do so with a broad picture in mind, and with the realization that victories in t...

One can hardly make a non-fallacious argument about something he doesn't believe is true.

Re: The Right To Be Offended
Basically, the team is either owned by people who won't give in to liberal hysterics or it isn't. Dubbing your opponents in a debate "hysterical" is rather begging the question, Stuart. I found this thread to be more of a monologue for me than a place to debate. I don't find most here to ...

Re: The Right To Be Offended
The owners may be ornery, or put dignity before money in this case, but maybe they're just more far-sighted than most. They probably are losing money, because the same fickle people that are withholding their money from the organization, are generally the type to waste it on things like excessive me...

Re: Racism does it make sense?
It says exactly what it says about the individual, just as the knowledge that one is one's parents' child says exactly what it does. You may take from it what you will, and I know you don't, or at last claim not to, take anything from race, except supposedly shallow matters such as who has the right...
