Re: Going 50/50

You are moving to conservative countries where women lack the economic freedoms you enjoy. You don't know what you are talking about. These women can own land and houses over here. As a foreigner, I cannot. They can get government jobs over here. As a foreigner, I cannot. And so on. Having local ci...

Re: Going 50/50

Yeah, but when women anywhere (West or East - doesn't matter) demand equal rights What exactly is it that a man is allowed to do that a woman is not? Is there really even one law that favors men over women? On your world-view? Put family second to economic freedom, apparently. Everybody can work, t...

Re: Going 50/50

So in summary - you like being a free rider. All upside - no downside. Reward without risk. Sounds like the West has figured out where to ditch its incompetent gamblers I guess that everybody was a free rider in the 1950ies in the West when most of these risks did not even exist. There's even an in...

Re: Going 50/50

How's that any different to Western alimony? Alimony is something for nothing. I do not have unconditional obligations. They don't exist here. https://www.foxnews.com/media/passport-bro-growing-number-men-ditching-american-women-overseas What is a passport bro? Growing number of men are ditching Am...

Re: The Soundness [???] of Godel's Argument for God

You are too pedantic in this case. As I had stated there are two senses of 'proof' i.e. 1. strictly mathematical 2. ordinary sense. what is wrong with you? How do you prove the liguid in the glass is really water i.e. not anything else. Surely you have to refer to science and there is no need for p...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

I'll take that as a yes. I'll take that as utter mathematical incompetence. On the plus side, I can speak English. In which English dialect is a part of the whole identical with the whole?

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?

You always have to explain everything to IC twice because he likes to leave the first explanation out of what he quotes and pretend it wasn't written. I don't think I've ever seen himn argue in good faith. Since you don't buy into objective morality, I don't understand what your gripe is. Good fait...

Re: What could make morality objective?

P1 If X is morally wrong, then X is morally wrong. P2 X is morally wrong. C Therefore, X is morally wrong. That's a slam-dunk. I agree! This is so banal it doesn't even need saying. It's just the first law of thought - identity. So why do you keep rejecting it? Why do you keep saying that the argum...

Re: What could make morality objective?

cos it's the premises and arguments that count, regardless of who makes them. How many times do you need me to demonstrate that you are lying about believing that? If premises and arguments counted you'd have conceded the objectivity of morality by now. You know, given the sound/valid argument pres...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic

Your understanding of ' critical thinking ' in confining it to communism is so shallow; So lets remove all confinements. Is critique of critical thinking itself critical thinking or not?

Dumb empiricist.

The necessary conditions for the existence of reality are necessarily NOT real.
