I try to keep it simple and distilled in a few sentances because internet browsers don't read polemics really. You believe in work ethic don't you? that's a form of ideal, you could sit around and list off all the reasons why other people slacking off can justify your own reason to engage in...

you're not really paid to think That probably sounds really mean but I mean it, people aren't trained or given reason to think about philosophy in general, so it just doesn't come up alot.

I agree that many people in western culture have that mentality chaos but it doesn't have to be like that. We aren't driftwood in the sea, we can make choices, as conscious entities we are the closest things to gods there are, we have the power to create. We are capable of free will, I see it...

Exactly opposite of my opinion, and why renaissance thought patterns work great for science but in area's where hard and fast deductive measurement aren't an absolute indicator of possible reality, Plato's concept of ideals is superior in my opinion. Ideals are all we have to give conceptual...

Malakriss is flirting with moral relativism, everyone can be shown to do wrong somewhere so you can't have any ideals.

It's like we offload our thinking to computers now, you know how to put an input in and get an output out, but not having practiced doing complex things in your had makes your ability to analyze the world around you suffer.

They really need to teach a classical education, Without understand how to think people are merely reduced to being told what to think. Even exploited 18th century industrial age workers had more exposure to classical thought, as a society we are no longer read quality books like we should, that...

So all those people who only had enough money and vanity to freeze only their own head finally have real hope now?

Television "news" isn't news, it's entertainment, the catchy action jingle at the start of most news programs should clue people in.

So snowdens gigantic mistake was not being in the country he wanted asylum before going public.

So the new america that has to compete in the global economy and whose wages are being eviserated by free trade agreements exactly as ross perot tried to warn america about, this america is where poor immigrants are going to come for the american dream that no longer exists? even having a...

The way we are heading into a police state tanoomba could have an exciting new career in thought policing!

well maybe if we could see the secret records from the secret court we'd have a better understanding.

I think there where alot of complexities that helped bring intelligent life on the planet and tend to imagine intelligent life as being extremely rare. One thing I think most people also discount is the help the moon gives to producing a stable environment for complex life to grow up in as...

Why The FISA Court Is Not What It Used To Be http://www.npr.org/2013/06/18/191715...-it-used-to-be The top secret rules that allow NSA to use US data without a warrant http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013...ithout-warrant They also claim that "[l]ike a wiretap, the target [of FAA...

pre meditated murder is not "self defense", and you did implicitly imply that woman where justified to pre meditated murder because they can prevent their own deaths, otherwise bringing that up was asanine and pedantic.

So you're saying woman are psychics now and can kill people based on pre-crime foresight? a call for vigilantism is kind of absurd, do you even realize the Pandora's box that kind of legality would have. If Progressives weren't fucking retarded and realize gun restriction hurts woman the most...

You know what you are tanoomba, you're a salesman.

Fuck that Frenchman I know why we hated him too to the point where Roosevelt said he had all the qualities of a dictator.

however apparent that is, even if it's like a 4% chance it's noteworthy enough to ponder outloud. as a comment of it's own merrit it's pure supposition.

Man, I wonder what her thoughts on defending the constitution are.

Or your Schtick is getting old.

You wait socialized medicine has a pattern to it, next step down the road they are gonna go after doctor salaries.

It's often a sign of close minded thinking. "The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. "I don't understand this person. So they're crazy." That's bullshit"

I didn't say those things. Yoo argued that they reserve the right to do that, if deemed necessary, they said that not me. The question was deliberate in purpose to illustrate a way of thinking, not to be taken as a literal which you keep trying to make it. Do you think the president should...

The point is he didn't argue that it was illegal he argued he just didnt see a reason why the president would want to do that, but he left it open that the president could do that if he thought he wanted to. The question was asked by the congressman out of frustration to illustrate the scope of...

And we are in a war zone now chaos " the war on terror" grants government all kinds of powers they wouldn't normally have, here is the lawyer who wrote the legal framework for the Essentially illegal during peacetime war powers like NSA spying that are now being codified as the new normal for...

The CIA tried to kill Charles Dugalle while he was democratically elected president of France FFS.

The government has assassinated or attempted to assasinate many people before, I don't know how you can say that murdering a journalist would be above "the worst people have seen from government" , they have literally tried or have succeeded killing other nations democratically elected headers...

It was probably an accident but who knows, I think the idea is to examine if it's possible, CIA is all about what's possible not what's probable after All. They literally have access to the best technology in the world and have the military industrial complex to build them things. The majority...

No chaos I was just giving evidence that reporters are killed all the time, not that Obama is killing them. Your tact today is to straw man everyone's post I see

would you feel safe in a google driven car (presumebly at that time will also have internet connection) if you where a reporter? especially reporting on the government in an adversarial manner(the way it should be). reporters have a high rate of death for obvious reasons...

Apparently these are part of the findings from obama's investigation into gun violence ordered after sandy hook 1. Most gun deaths in the US are due to suicide, not violent crimes with guns or accidental shootings. This is a said statistic, but again, this goes back to mental healthcare, not...

Obviously

Beslan school crisis should have no meaning then then either 32 gunmen.

So in other words you are as stupid and gullible in thinking as the courts where?
