Re: Is it incorrect, to say the word strike when people refuse to work?

For someone who, just ignores me, you are not doing a very good job. As proven by your writings here. Quite right: usually, I do ignore you. I find your conversation style unuseful. But I don't hate you, fear you, or despise you. And, consequently, I'm doing you a favour, at the moment. I'm telling...

Back to "entry level" stuff? :shock:

No documentation, data, quotations, footnotes, evidence, arguments, peer reviews, etc?

Yes, that's about your level, it seems.

Well, have fun.

Re: Quote of the day

Is there a difference in your mind between the words cynical and critical? There is to me. Seriously? So...you don't understanding "irony"? :shock: :shock: :shock: Listen, sport; just read the PN review of the book, and you'll know why it's called what it's called, and what it has to do w...

Re: Quote of the day

What's the connection and what's the connection to CRT? Please explain! Go and read a book. (They're not just for colouring, you know.) It's called "Cynical Theories," by Lindsay and Pluckrose. And it will show you just how wrong you are. Which you should be getting used to, actually, sin...

Re: JK Rowling vs. History

WE also disagree about salvation. Salvation from what? Firstly, salvation from the disaster we are bringing on ourselves, politically, environmentally, socially and morally. But that's just at the largest level. Then, there's salvation from sufferingn, from pain, from sickness, decline, decay and l...

Re: Evolution

HOW the hell do you interpret the collection of Evolutionists to be culpable of some crime for one person's behavior? I don't hold them responsible for his behaviour: I hold them responsible for their's . It's one thing to be fooled by one man one time. It's quite another not to have done your scie...

Re: JK Rowling vs. History

I also agree that it is now up to God to save us from out own folly and evil.Where we differ is what 'God' is. Yes, I think that's true. It seems you believe that God is a sort of human artifact: or at least, your reference to Blake seems to reinforce that idea. Unfortunately for us all, a human ar...

Re: Christianity

Indeed. I agree. That is why I wrote Market forces are insufficient for men who aim to be kind and useful. One hopes that kind and useful describes most men. Well, when one jumps off buldings, one must accept that the law of gravity will come into play. And when one has any economic relationship, o...

Re: An Answer to the problem of "Choice or Determinism"

What I wrote was Is your will more dominant than your intellect? Neither did I say they are either / or. The word 'dominant' does not mean either/or. Will and intellect work together . They don't "dominate" each other, because one generally consults one's intellect when one is framing one...

Re: To Immanuel Can

Well, I think it's very fair game to believe that there is something indeed very special about human consciousness. It's hard to believe that something like this arose out of nothingness through purely chance accident. I agree. Your intuition is actually telling you something there, Gary. And I thi...

Re: Quote of the day

Critical race theory is an intellectual movement and a framework of legal analysis. You're hilarious. :D You really should read "Philosophy Now" magazine. You'd learn a lot about CRT from a book reviewed just a month or so ago, "Cynical Theories." Get yourself a copy. I can't ev...

Re: Is it incorrect, to say the word strike when people refuse to work?

Does this mean than you only put those who say 'anything important enough' on your ignore list? No. It just means I ignore those who repeatedly say nothing of any importance. Look, Age: here's how it goes. You came here to the forum, and all you ever seem to do is ask inane questions. If one person...

Re: Is it incorrect, to say the word strike when people refuse to work?

Also, did you or did you not, supposedly, put me on your ignore list? No. I just ignore you. You're not saying anything important enough to get you on a real "ignore" list. You're no threat to yourself, to me, or to anything. You don't say anything important yourself, and just cavil and c...

Re: Quote of the day

Pandemics don't give you ANY rights; during a pandemic everyone is in the army. Wow, that's super dumb. So all one has to do is declare something a "pandemic," and we automatically ignore any duty to present logic and evidence, and we erase everybody's rights, individuality and choice? Go...
