You don't understand shit.

I was way ahead of you.

Your "Chinese environmentalist beaten after calling on official to swim in polluted creek" is not relevant to the question.

If you've got a question, I'll answer it, but I'm not going to waste my time looking at bogus videos à la Bill Wiltrack. Is this okay for children to view? http://video.xnxx.com/video1760469/violent_forced_sex Again, I'm not interested in looking at your stupid fucking videos. It is not the functio...

Why do you people always allow Boob to derail every single thread? I have to say I usually enjoy a discussion here, but all too often Boob gets in on the act and everyone piles in and ignores the topic. I've done that too, I admit. Well Boob is an easy target, if that is what you all want then go a ...

I am insulted you call me immoral. I am not name calling anyone or calling anyone immoral. I have my opinions about morality and you have your opinions about morality. So since you do not know me don't make judgements on me by calling me immoral. I didn't call you immoral, so why are you calling me...

My example of the mirror image may not be a good one, but it did lead me into an epistemological enquiry (albeit brief) that followed. There are many problems in psychology to do with perception and reco...

It is true that categorization is partly dependent on culture, personality, etc. Science's job is to take all those factors into consideration. I don't think so. Science creates its own system - one that does not take those factors into consideration, but seeks to invent its own that works regardle...

You can lead a horse to water.....

assume you knew that you were looking in a mirror, and that in fact that image you saw was one of the most recognisable you know. Were that not the case I would have to conclude that you had damage to the fusiform area of your brain. No. Try it yourself. Recognition is not knowledge. I am asking ho...

1. Categorization should be based on what there actually exists in the world, including our own mentality. It is not the case that we can invent a label and then look for the content. I would be willing to bet that you are to blame for accepting categories based on invented labels just like everyon...

What do you mean by, it all depends on context all the best, rantal If I am sitting down writing a post. I still know how to ride a bike; I might know of a particular bike. But I would not have to be currently conscious of that. Just like, I bet you know of numbers, and now how to count, but you we...
