This is just gross. If people want to make pilgrimage of Jesus's life, they would: hang out with people on the edges of society; form radical ideas about what it means to exist as a person; form radical ideas about God and godhood and the divine; speak those ideas unafraid; commit to those...

The fact is, until those who demand that we "do something" discuss what "thing" they want "done", as long as that silence is pregnant, it's a silence pregnant with something dark. It doesn't matter that it wasn't said, except for the fact that NOTHING has been said about what to do beyond "make...

Slavery isn't any better than execution... And let's be real, when Nazi Germany ran out of slave labor positions, they started shoveling everyone else into the gas chambers. I'm not seeing much difference in the long run, especially since the path to the smokestacks often runs through a work...

Smokestacks offering black smoke to the blue sky.

The silence when someone objects to the existence of a human being is pregnant with something and it sure isn't puppies.

Say loudly "someone needs a diaper change Wheee---ew"

I personally suspect there is no such proof. I think it's quite the point that it doesn't matter if we were created when we are here now and capable of interacting with and working to build upon the world we exist in. Looking past hope into faith is a fool's errand. There is always room to...

When Dahmer is not blamed for what he does, he will still derive greater satisfaction from murdering people because it doesn't matter whether he is blamed or not, he just really likes killing people and doesn't care what others think. Not even stopping to try to make excuses for it Dahmer...

@peacegirl you are the one that said I implied autism is a sufficient cause. We're done at this point.

Ha! Hahahaha! Intelligence absolutely has a lot to do with it. Although we should be quite clear here: Managed to fight clear because I was intelligent, but while intelligence is often necessary to think clear of that affect, it is only rarely sufficient: you need at least a few things you like...

Yes, they came into the world via the birth canal of the parents who fucked so as to produce them. Yes, they were born that way, and while SOME may have some outsized ability to be intelligent enough to think past their deficiencies, many will not. Perhaps for some this is a function of...

Vogon poetry at its finest (such as a container of milk aged to a fine 6 months in the open air).

That's not really why they do that. More humans came into exist at a time in this world where there was a lot to fight for and the world already was a world wide wasteland. It's what we are physiologically adapted to and for: a hard existence where people can and do take whatever they can...

Yeah, it all only starts resolving when you try to fit in "ought" at some point. Some people suck at resolving ought. Most people do. Many people decide it doesn't exist in the world, blind to the fact that they generate it by resisting the actions of the world on the particular stuff of it...

Some walks of life hope for a world wide wasteland, an eternal tire fire of suck as the world circles the drain, and finally dies.

It is not an Ad Hom to say "you are a piece of shit and I hate you, therefore fuck you and go to hell", though. "Fuck you and go to hell" does follow "you are a piece of shit and I hate you". In fact either follows from the other, generally. This is what I would say if any member of the Trump...

And yet again I find myself wondering that folks can't grok the concept of autonomy. I'm pretty sure I've laid it out quite well, that when someone asks whether something "acted with free will", they are asking whether the subject acted autonomously, or under external direction. Both...

"Quick! Gotta make a 'both sides' claim to try to claw back some dignity after being mocked so thoroughly over our rape claims..." Sadly, such recuperation is not available when some autist or another identifies and loudly describes your behavior.

More, Ad Hom is in the family of Non Sequitur. "It does not follow from the fact that I am ugly, that I am wrong."

>but you are not following the reasoning No, I'm following the reasoning to why it fails, namely the bait/switch. My wills are as free, or not, as they happen to be. No will is entirely free. No will is entirely constrained. It's not a binary all/nothing metaphysical thing. The kind of freedom...
