It's illegal now yet there is still rampant abuse and trafficking. Even without regulations decriminalizing it would only reduce the amount of abuse already actually happening since the women would then be able to get help from the police or public services without being arrested 364

Serious / Re: Your Thoughts on GamerGate?« on: October 17, 2014, 01:26:39 PM »
Wow, both of those articles were so one-sided it's not even funny.
How do they actually know the guy who threatened Anita was even related to gamergate? She's been facing heavy criticism since she debuted years ago, mostly because she's pretty much the new Jack Thompson (who also was subjected to death threats, mostly for being a liar). Everything I've seen from the actual Gamergate side has been about journalistic integrity, not anti-feminism save for those like Zoe Quiin who try to use feminism as a shield to cover up their corruption. 366

I just looked it up and it seems the story originated from India and is shared in Jain, Buddhist and Hindu lore, not skepticism.
Personally it sounds like stupid hippy crap to me. How could the blind men all be considered "partially right" when they were all completely wrong? 369

Serious / Re: How plausible is this statement?« on: October 14, 2014, 03:00:37 PM »
I'd say it's hypothetically plausible. Just look at how the few uncontacted tribes in South America and Indonesia are treated, a lot of countries have laws barring contact with them for similar reasons.
Thought the part about there being interstellar aliens so near us is less plausible. 371

A while ago some fans tried to create a full conversion to turn Skyrim in a LOTR game, but after a year of work they found out that Skyrim literally couldn't handle the middle-earth worldspace they created do to a hard-coded bug, and they got a cease and desist order from Warner Brothers.

When you describe paleontology as "eyeballing scattered piles of bones" and then specifically state DNA or anything other than fossils are not involved in the theory, it's in no way "well thought out."
Serious is for discussions and debates, not science lectures for the willfully ignorant. 377

Serious / Re: Why Do People Get Upset About Removing the Pledge?« on: October 11, 2014, 04:18:50 PM »Craig Rock isn't even presenting an argument for a theistic God. He's saying that the Universe would've had a prime mover, and then calling whatever that may be God. That's what I thought he was trying to say too, but in the last few posts he clarified he was talking about a theistic god and apparently just doesn't understand that there is a difference between that and a prime mover. Hell he even just tried to invoke the Ontological argument, which in addition to having been rebuked by Anslem's own contemporaries totally contradicts his previous claims that humans do not know what God is. 384

Dear Me, this whole time I've managed to think your were really trying to make some kind of serious argument and just and a poor grasp of words. But your really meant exactly what you said exactly the way you said it? I think I've fracking trolled myself. 385
Serious / Re: Why Do People Get Upset About Removing the Pledge?« on: October 11, 2014, 03:40:42 PM »It must have taken the supernatural for our universe to exist as it is. We know God must exist in order for everything else to exist. Something cannot come from nothing, not naturally anyway. You didn't answer the question. Why do you keep calling God "him" if you don't know what it is? You seem to be taking a lot of liberties with definitions which is having the effect of making you sound self contradictory. First you say belief in god is a secular since god could refer to anything that caused the universe to exist, which I agreed with logically purely in your own terms but disagreed with on the basis that your definition was not the common or 'correct' one. Now you keep using terms to suggest you think the unknown force behind the origins of the universe must be some kind of intelligent being, which contradicts your original statement. 386

You kept saying you don't know what God is and that you only defined him as being whatever force cause the first motion, yet you then keep referring to it as "Him" and say he has power, as if to suggest you think he still exists and that creation was some kind of conscious decision. Which is it? 388
Serious / Re: Why Do People Get Upset About Removing the Pledge?« on: October 11, 2014, 02:00:06 PM »For the Universe to exist as it if today, you would require something quite supernatural. Perhaps. Things like the big crunch, multiverse theory and even some things we do know exist like dark energy and virtual particles (which is matter that seemingly comes from nothing) are technically supernatural within the broadest scope of the definition since science does not yet have a valid explanation for them. However like I already said to call it "God" would imply it has intelligence and retains control and influence over the current universe, especially in the context of swearing to a pledge under it. At least this is what the vast majority of English speakers would use to define God, but if everyone was like you and made up their own definitions for words our language would become so convoluted and disjointed noone would understand eachother. That's why we have dictionaries. 389
Serious / Re: Why Do People Get Upset About Removing the Pledge?« on: October 11, 2014, 01:38:05 PM »I recognize that we do not know what God is, only that He must exist. Only if you dilute the meaning of the word 'god' to the point that it could be anything. By that line of thought I could call the universe itself God, or even call myself the god of my personal perspective. However God, especially when capitalized, has a very specific connotation with the vast majority of English speakers; an entity that created the universe, is in some way conscious, and has moral authority. You can assign whatever arbitrary personal definition you wish, but you can't go and assume everyone else uses that definition instead of the standard one I just gave. Language doesn't work like that. So in short; this whole deal is an Semantic dispute, quite easily the most pointless of disputes. I see now what it is you're trying to say and can see the logic in it, but you completely fail to grasp that as a human construction language is not infallible and that you can't just declare you're own special idea of what a word means as being truer than the common meaning. You may think the word 'god' can be whatever you wish since you don't know what it actually is, but you must realize that the majority do think they know what it is and that is where the common meaning comes from. So no, "under God" is not a secular term since almost everyone except you thinks "God" refers to a supernatural entity, and ultimately the meaning of a word is dependent on what the majority agrees too not whatever vague ideas individuals attribute to it. That's just how language works. And like Vincent said, we already have words like "universe" or "nature," however nice you may think it is to consider those synonyms for the word "God," it's totally unnecessary and only generates confusion. 390
Serious / Re: Why Do People Get Upset About Removing the Pledge?« on: October 11, 2014, 11:50:13 AM »The definition of God is a supreme being, among other predicates, whom exists. That's one of the most blatant displays of circular logic I've ever seen. "How do you know God exists?" "Because some people who wanted to define the word 'God' define it as a being that exists" "Why did they define it as a being that exists?" "Because he exists" "How do you know God exists?" Ad infinitum. It doesn't help that the definition you gave isn't the common one, I already gave you both of them and neither had that silly "he exists" clause. And here I was hoping you were trying to use the Ontological argument, that could have actually been interesting. |
