Good reference, thanks! + Rep
Hey everyone, I'm looking for resources on the French Mandate of Syria, specifically on the division of Syria into distinct sectarian regions. I'm attempting to draw correlation between the modern...
What the :wub: was up with those conquistador helmets?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Please delete this thread at once. It slanderous against Best Korea.

And that, in a nutshell, is why democratic representation will always fail to produce the optimal candidate. The general electorate isn't politically informed enough to make such important decisions...
Well, what is truth? It is the absence of error; it implies perfection. Have we stumbled across anything that meets that criterion? More importantly, have we conquered the Cartesian Evil Demon? "I...
I just saw Pacific Rim. It felt like a fanboyish homage to robot anime. Other than that, it was pretty "meh."
What?
Firstly, I think this site is one of the more intelligent sites I've personally stumbled upon. Secondly, individuals in the higher IQ categories are actually fairly unproductive members...
I used to try to be civil and respectful when I was naive, before I realized how pervasive stupidity really is.
I don't know where you're from, but here in Southern California, people actually...
You know what's even sadder? The difference between my IQ and the average person's IQ is the same as the difference between the average person's IQ and the IQ of a bonobo. What's worse is I am...
It's the history of all empires, don't single out America. Britain is the guiltiest of all.
And I laugh at what they called "democracy," which was really just an inclusive plutocracy.
Sorry for taking so long to respond, Uni stuff and such. Also: I don't want to cluster:wub: the thread with (too many) quote bubbles, so I'll address a synthesis of each argument you are making,...
GO "DOKI DOKI" EVERYTIME.
"Democracy is failing" is a blanket statement, Exarch.
It wouldn't render high tech warfare impossible if we had the capability to intercept or disarm missiles mid trajectory.
Yeah, screw those 17th century idiots like Descartes and John Locke. What did they ever accomplish?
Nope. I'm slowly dying on the inside.
You two should co-op a book.
How can you be so cruel?!? SSFs and corporations are people too (legally)!
It would be easy to manage under the context of a federalist system. What's more, I would say the human race would function better under cohesive management.
But think about this: when we begin...
According to Ralph Cudworth, the creator of the term theist, theists "affirm, that a perfectly conscious understanding being, or mind, existing of itself from eternity, was the cause of all other...
Or there are people who think that a unified human race would function better...
No. You are an atheist if you simply believe that God (not god but God) has a <<50% chance of existing. Many Christians are atheists by this definition.
There's a lot of people that are interested in a one world government that are the farthest things from hippies you could ever imagine.
I wonder what standing up for what you believe in accomplishes, exactly?
Ok. Space is a vacuum.
its not important to several branches of philosophy. In fact, some linguistic...
I don't necessarily agree with this. Gender identity is a rather complex physiological and psychological phenomenon. What's more, the debate over nurture vs. nature is still ongoing in psychology,...
I legitimately misunderstand what it is you are trying to convey, in this part.
How exactly is what I'm saying discrimination? What I'm ultimately saying is that the concept of gender...
It means that your search for objective moral truth is ultimately purposeless, because, even if you find it, it will ultimately be your society that dictates what it is you can and cannot do, unless...
What everyone else views you as (culture and stigma) plays a large roll in gender identity. For example, there are tribes in the South Pacific that have a "gender-neuter" role, in addition to a...
What do you think "suspending belief" means?
The distinction is pretty simple. Atheists assign the probability that God exists (i.e., the theistic God) at << 50%, whereas theists assign the probability that God exists at >>50%. Agnostics simply...
Both, and more. I am a citizen of my locale, a citizen of my state, a citizen of my country, a citizen of my continent, a citizen of the world, a citizen of the Solar System, a citizen of my galaxy,...
He doesn't even discuss moral nihilism in a conversation about Ethics? That would be like discussing Epistemology without discussing Skepticism.
Dunno man, you're not really convincing me. The Biblical narrative is pretty explicit about slavery - your example in Colossians is pretty straightforward, I think.
Rejection of the Hadith is like rejection of the Midrash - it's not okay for most sects. You are very secular, indeed.
I never said anything about 'Subjective Morality.' What I said was that, even if there was such a thing as objective moral truth, it would be irrelevant because society will inflict its moral...
I'm of human ancestry.
Basically, as the ability to switch between genders becomes more and more advanced, gender won't be as big of a deal. If it becomes cheap and simple enough to become common, things like gender...
