i would never use another person as my avatar
I only use people who are worthy of having my personality associated with them.

I have to assess the merits and shortfalls of logical positivism.

Why do I have the sense that loud speaking is inherently a European trait?
No, she isn't speaking loudly. She isn't loudly telling her daughters she'll bash their heads in if she has to exit the "fucking shower". She's shouting at them, with all the emotional connotations that entails.

 Of course, I'm not claiming it isn't skewed in one direction. But to deny that it exists is ridiculous.

So, the baby's about two weeks old now. Lovely little thing. . . I imagine, I haven't met it. As many of you already know I've had problems with this neighbour before (our houses are literally attached) and I can hear her at pretty much all hours of the day screaming and swearing and hollering at the top of her voice at her daughters.
Well, it was bad enough while she was pregnant, and after the baby was born the daughters went to their grandma's for two weeks. Now, however, they're back and it's just as bad as ever. It can't be healthy for the baby.

I make assumptions on what you post (Or leave out), not on anything more.
Apologies, misread you. Thought you said "consider", not "show".

« on: January 08, 2015, 11:36:56 AM »
But perhaps try to show both sides instead of just the bad.
Well now you're just making assumptions about what I think, although I can't especially blame you for that. I have absolute, unending respect for the reformers of the faith like Malala Yousafzai and Maajid Nawaz. Unfortunately, you can't afford to not focus on the bad because it insists on presenting itself in the good--such as shooting Malala in the face when she wants an education.

First off - is there evidence to show the trio are from ISIS and not another terror organization, like Al-Qaeda? You're missing the point. I wasn't claiming that the murderers in this instance are ISIS-supporters. I was saying it's so ridiculously easy to denounce violence that some of the worst groups in existence do it to each other. I'm happy that they've issued these statements, of course I am. . . It's just not going to do anything especially worthwhile. It'd be like giving Putin a hug because he's also denounced the attack; I'm not under any illusions that the fundamentalists in my own country are going to disappear and we're going to link arms and sing kumbaya, just because of these denouncements. I also didn't post it because I didn't come across the news story; I don't think you can blame me for that one. EDIT: I really don't care if Saudi Arabia denounces this attack by the way. I'll care when they stop cutting off thieves hands and forcing women to veil themselves. I'll care when Saudi Arabia isn't a fucking barbaric shit-hole.

I would like to add this to the thread
Before we get the troll who says to just nuke all of the Middle East after this.
It isn't difficult to condemn people like this; even al-Qaeda doesn't like ISIS. A few Muslim "leaders" in the Western world are so unbelievably inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Ford was one of the best Presidents the U.S. has ever had, never mind just in comparison to Carter.
Carter was shit.
http://us-presidents.findthebest.com/compare/3-4/Gerald-Ford-vs-Jimmy-Carter
Aside form the Iran hostage crisis and Carter being hesitant on using military force, he was still able to deregulate certain areas of the economy, broker a treaty between Egypt and Israel, created the Department of Energy, reformed civil service in response to Watergate, deregulated natural gas prices, and signed the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
And it was Ford who held off from Congressional demands for extreme stimulus measures--correctly--under the advice of Alan Greenspan, began the deregulation that'd contribute to the growth of the 1980s, handled the Mayaguez Incident and established special education. Ford was a good President because he managed to take over from Nixon and the Watergate Scandal and keep the government going, despite the prevailing stagflation.

So basically your argument is "I can laugh at people freely and say how excited I am to see that their family member is dead because I am a huge cunt."
Yeah. The law shouldn't be able to stop anybody from just being a cunt.

As terrible as the events in France were, it's pretty fucking empowering to see the response there has been.
I'm unbelievably proud of Jyllands-Posten, after all the bullshit they went through in 2005. If we can say one thing about these attacks, it's that the victims didn't die in vain.

 The French police are converging on the suspects after they supposedly robbed a service station in the north of France for fuel and food. On top of this, the Irish media is being threatened with legal action by a Muslim scholar if they reprint the cartoons in question. And a Muslim politician from India has offered the attackers $8 million. Despite this, Charlie Hebdo is going forward with their issue next week--printing more than double their usual circulation. And a German satirical magazine has said "If you shoot at satirists, you only make our work more relevant" and they put a satirical notice on their website telling the terrorists when to come and get them. Also, a Danish newspaper, Berlingske, is going ahead with printing the cartoons. But the best part? So is Jyllands-Posten, the Danish publication that saw its cartoons illicit a response of extreme violence from protesting Muslims way back in 2005. I hope the French police find them, and I hope they put up a fight. I want to see them die. Spoiler Here are a bunch of satirical cartoons drawn in solidarity by other cartoonists.

That does not mean, however, you can shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater and cause a panic.
Except the claims about God hating faggots are propositional sentences--they make claims. They are assertions. And the best way to counter assertions is with reason and proper debate and laughing your ass of at them when they say this stupid shit. Shouting "Fire" in a crowded theatre is just being a cunt and causing severe, unnecessary risk.

Colonialism is dead and should remain so, but to deny it had quite clear benefits is to be ignorant of history.
Although, I'll concede Indochina was probably shit. . . I mean, it was owned by the French, so it was probably shit.
I don't like to use this to get one over on the frogs, but we undeniably did a better job than they did <.<
But the Belgians take the biscuit for the worst.
Shhhhhh, I think Flee's watching us >.> <.<

Should all immoral acts be made unlawful? Or what is the difference between morality and legality, at least in terms of what you would have as an unlawful act if it were your decision?
There are a great many moral norms government shouldn't enforce; they should stick to the most obvious and basic sins of 'commission', if you like. For instance, if a doctor drugs a girl with an IQ of 130 and reduces her IQ to 70, that's worse than if a girl with an IQ of 70 isn't given a drug which'd raise her IQ to 130--despite the result being numerically identical.

Do you consider philosophy an essential field of study for a generally well-rounded education, or a mostly defunct school of thought that has very little place in modern academia and industry?
Essential. There's always at least one 'area' of philosophy relevant to somebody's studies, I imagine.

cus countries like greece, italy, and romania
Yeah. . . No. It's the European Central Bank's fault.
Isn't it true that having smaller countries added in weakens the Euro? Or at least weakens the EU economy?
Yeah, having Greece in the E.U. fucked them up during the sovereign debt crisis. But something like that isn't nearly bad to cause their current situation.
