Re: Tyrannicide and the Supreme leader
Pathetic paranoid yank fucks. Don't worry about Korea. Most of the world's population would like to blow y'all up too. If we went back in time, I'm sure that you would be among those who opposed Churchill, while chanting "Don't worry about Hitler". You are amazingly unserious and biased a...

Tyrannicide and the Supreme leader
Would it be licit to assassinate Kim Jong-un, the President and Supreme leader, of North Korea? That the Supreme leader is a tyrant in a rogue state is factually self-evident. Economic sanctions have had no deterrent effect on his goal of getting a nuclear weapon that can strike the territory of th...

Re: Epidemic of Sexual Aggression
Here is a remarkable essay on the current epidemic in the U. S. It presents a Catholic theological perspective on the problem. What other perspectives are plausible? https://www.thecatholicthing.org/2017/12/16/about-our-epidemic-of-sexual-aggression/ I am just floored by this resignation due to sex...

Intersectional Feminism
Is it likely or unlikely that a normal guy ( one who desires to love a female, to marry her, and to beget children with her in a monogamous relation ) will ask Lara Witt for a date if he reads her article before-hand? https://everydayfeminism.com/2017/12/intersectional-feminist-first-date/ https://...

Re: Race versus culture
Do you stand with the Rohingya because they are an Indo-European people resisting an onslaught of Orientals? Or do you reject them because they have fallen to the Semitic cult, Islam? Do you stand with the Uyghurs because they are arguably of Caucasian race, a remnant of the ancient Tocharians, or ...

Re: The False Mirror: A Brief History of Prejudice
"If prejudice can be overcome, can it not be avoided altogether? Following Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer showed that all understanding is ‘permanently determined’ by what he calls pre-understanding. In the end, he says, all understanding is always “reflection of a given pre-understanding...

Re: Xenos: Jacques Derrida on Hospitality
It is refreshing to find philosophers, Derrida and the author, grounding their thoughts in biblical ideas. More needs to be done in the subject of the philosophy of religion.

Re: An Education In Diversity?
Here is the conclusion of the essay: "Whatever view we take, reflecting on this case helps us realise that liberals need to be more cautious in making claims to neutrality, and more honest about where they fail in this aspiration. We must also make sure that our arguments attend to the reality...

Re: Sexual Assault on a Corpse
