Philosophy Now Forum

Ammendum: humanity is diverse. To propose that we may all fall under a common ethic is what are known as 'golden ages' of culture, and they always achieve such commonwealth by somehow successfully denying that humanity which does not conform to the commonwealth's norms. One could say the every one ...

And chaos begets chaos too. Come on Barb, you got to be leading me on. You know better that this. You and he both, are equally free to speak your minds, how ever you want. You choose text he chooses photos. You want to write a never ending journal of colorful ideas, and he thinks you're 'beating a ...

All he has to do is take that profanity off Philosophy of mind and not bother me. I don't bother him, I could haunt him throughout the forum as he does me. Just get that crap off and he will not hear from me again. In the early days of the internet, during the Blue Ribbon Campaign. one of it's wise...

[quote"lancek4". An absolute truth stance sounds good. So does this mean ethics? How will this come about? Do we enforce it? Who gets to decide? I have thought at times that some people should nnot be allowed to have childeren for various ethical reasons, like if the parents do meth and l...

I hear you Barb. But he should be allowed to make his opposing belief known, just as you have. Actually I find his photos to be kinder than words. I'm sure he could muster up some words that would be far worse. Can you talk to bill? Maybe! Address his issues if you find them to be incorrect. It wou...

... Keep in mind that I came to this belief on my own, and thought I had an original idea, then subsequently I read Kant to find that he thought it prior to me, though his thoughts were more complete than mine were. Philosophy is a bitch that way. :) It really wasn't a bitch as far as I'm concerned...

Having and supporting a relative truth system, allows you to have your ‘own’ way, and as far as ‘your’ belief system goes, it’s fine, I encourage it. But as far as those topics that can directly affect ‘others,’ I see it differently. The only true solution is to unify, with an attempt at absolute t...

Barbara, I'm sure that you understand that he is making commentary as to the substance of your persistence. Not that I really think an explanation it's necessarily required, but his secondary image is meant to parallel his original image of a man 'beating a dead horse.' I'm sure you're familiar with...

Impossible. Airships filled with hydrogen or helium are more likely to be the replacement. Ah! Now this is an idea I've been trying to punt for a long-time as truck-haulage of goods in our country is a joke, a nuisance, a danger, a health hazard and a waste of fuel and tarmac. As far as I can tell ...

You know I hear you Bill. As I've said before mankind cannot see life for the self. He'll understand once it's too late, such shall be the ends of the dumbest animal on the planet.

I've been sharing Koko's story! Again, Thanks for the tears Bill, as they open my minds eye.

Good!

I understand that I should have snipped the irrelevant part of the message. My excuse is that I can't touch-type to save my life, so sometimes I'm lazy and just kind of slop one together. Even a sloppy message takes me much time!

SOB, I'm sorry Barb but you may not like nor understand how I respond. I am in blue only! I responded to IzzyWizzy's message only! So your explanation of Zeno is irrelevant. I hope you didn't spend too much time formulating your argument, and had a pre-canned version by the ready, I would hate to t...
