• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    But if someone were to come up to me and say: "Revealed religions are untrue because there is many mutual exclusive holy scriptures, therefore all holy scriptures are untrue, and thus all revealed religions are untrue." I wouldn't be like, "Yes totally!" I would be like: "I think you...

    Abortion

    ^^ Mhm! Well, I mean, I can't connect any property rights over the foetus to you nor can I justify your interests for prime consideration in the foetus' fate in a logically expressible manner. (re: What Butterfree said.) I think you are. :) Nah, I probably should have made it clearer why I...

    Aww, well I can help you in the next one if there one! Not math though, I suck at that. x3 The universe is basically the sum of a transcendent consciousness' thoughts. Which, observing the universe, we can assume about the what-could be called God: 1) God's consciousness is possibly based in...

    Well, basically: Pragmatic- An object is real if it affects other objects, a piece of information is true if it is meaningful and can function as such, common basic beliefs (human beings able to observe and reason fairly accurately, existence of other minds and external world, self-consistent...

    Abortion

    Um, no problem, always happy to help! =D Well, I'll try to be more helpful by presuming your position as inflexible. I can't really rationally justify rights from you to the foetus, but I can rationally justify your emotional investment, and your emotional state should be a consideration in...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I accept your re-presentation of the arguments as logical, but I didn't have any actual dispute with the spirit of the premises, merely how they were laid out and demonstrated, which was what Shinji-lover was criticizing in the disputes of the premises offered.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    And if the lighter skinned person is wearing more clothing or sunscreen than the darker skinned person, wouldn't this proposed universal be violated? The *causation* is skin protection, but in the particular people there is not a universal *correlation*.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Well, I'll bite. Let me see if I understand what you are saying, that is: Ax. 1: Observations of the existence of race is not unethical, and in fact, the concept of race is real. Ax. 2: Estimating differing potential based on race when related to environments that predispose race is not...

    Obviously, considering you are the one who is laughing, I would be in a better mind to ask you. Actually, you introduced the closing sentence as a logical principle that served as the foundation of your argument, and thus it was eligible to be subject to the scrutinization that I employed...

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    I never claimed that majority opinion was good and right, and indeed, I remain steadfast in maintaining that there is an absolute value of what is good and public opinion does not wholly reflect it. By you believing me upholding government-as-majority as something that is good without me stating...

    Political Compass II

    Well, I decided to take the test as I would normally take it: And then I took it imagining a totalitarian state that afforded everyone equality and happiness and freedom at the small price of censorship and harsh punishments, which got me this: Compare those to my original one: And here...

    Abortion

    Sorry, I thought you were. =( You probably shouldn't make her feel bad, because it is not likely you will get a good result from pressuring someone into doing something they may not want to do, as you are not the one who makes the final choice on the matter. =/ I didn't say that, as I have...

    Manliness is a subjective value and thus no one is an authority on manliness, including you. :3

    Well, someone probably would have if you would haven't said: Which asserts that: a)Any objections to your premises are irrational because they are objections to your premises. b)Any debate involving the objection of your premises are not worth debating because they come from irrationality...

    Abortion

    Well, I suppose this needs philosophy. For my epistemology, I will suppose there is two different levels of truth (truth is defined as a piece of information that is applicable in predicting behavior or people or objects and is thus valued over false information which has no such qualities.)...

    Abortion

    If you consider a foetus a child before it becomes one, than yes, the sperm-donner person should have input to the potential-foetus-baring person's decision, but if you consider a foetus a parasite inside the potential-foetus-baring person, than the sperm-donner-person has as much say about as...
