Re: What could make morality objective?

Yeah, I didn't say diddly about driving on the wrong side of the road and jumpin' the lights, so: go fuck yourself. Aaaahhhh, take that spear and shove it up your ass sideways, the sun hopefully shines up your shit hole, because for you, it certainly doesn't shine anywhere else! ❓ That's from a con...

Re: What could make morality objective?

You may as well say the fetus owns anything surrounding its body. And a charge of being sexist in a scenario that might just as easily have included a female fetus is entirely disingenuous. You and Henry are attributing quite a lot of properties to a zygote there. A little clump of cells with no ne...

Re: What could make morality objective?

Mama owns herself: yep. The baby owns himself: yep. It's wrong for mama to have sex of her own accord then, becuz the natural product of that sex is inconvenient , rub him out. It's also wrong to ask mama to carry the natural product of rape. It's also wrong to ask mama to sacrifice her life (that ...

Re: What could make morality objective?

"and still doing it until Going for the One." I actually quite like that album. Have you heard Relayer? Sorry - I should have said up to Tormato, which I thought was mostly shite, and I've never gone back to. Perhaps I should. For me, the Bruford albums were the best - and Alan White didn...

"and still doing it until Going for the One." I actually quite like that album. Have you heard Relayer? I own every Yes Studio album, and every Rush Studio album, and many of their live albums too. In my heart, I've always been a Progressive Rocker! And I always will be, it's where much o...

Re: What could make morality objective?

You confuse universality - which refers to space and time - with objectivity, which refers to facts independent from opinion. An opinion held by everyone (ie universally) is still an opinion. And a fact acknowledged by no one is still a fact. That's the difference. It's rational to discuss and deve...

Re: What could make morality objective?

You know the universe is totally objective, it has no values, no opinions, it's nothing but facts. The universe has no human social rules or cares, so it starts us with a clean slate. The universe has humans. Therefore the universe has whatever humans have. Values, opinions, social rules and cares....

Re: What could make morality objective?

An issue has come up in various recent OPs and comments that I think needs clarifying. 1 A moral assertion is one that says something is morally right or wrong, or good or bad - or one that says something should or ought to be the case. (But we can also use the words 'right', 'wrong', 'good', 'bad'...

Re: Ukraine Crisis

The scariest thing about all this is that the first domino has been pushed….that’s really bad news because it means… There is no way back for Russia and her allies….the horrific truth is that Russia will never accept defeat. Humans have basically shot themselves in the foot because of their insatia...

Re: Ukraine Crisis

There is only one way to end a world war...nuke em high! Not true. Wars have ended with truces and peace agreements. I think WW2 was probably highly divided along racial lines and that produced the specter of genocide because you knew who the "enemy" was. The only solution to stopping nuc...

Re: Ukraine Crisis

But as to Putin being "bat shit crazy," there's no doubt at all. Unless you believe that you should murder an innocent child for something a completely different adult did to you. Well do you? Again!!! Well do You???? Answer the question or do you fear it? I think murder is abhorrent. I h...

Re: Ukraine Crisis

Here we go? From the NYT: 'The United States marshaled allies on Tuesday to pledge more military support to Ukraine, accelerating the drive to halt Russia’s offensive and degrade its war machine, as Moscow accused the West of pursuing a proxy war and ignoring the “considerable” risk that it could s...
