Wow such passion chaz :P You got much faith in you... I do not thrive of Faith. Faith is for the takers of the Blue Pill. That is the resort of the hard of thinking. Faith is pursued by those that are cerebrally challenged. If you translate 'faith' into religion i.e Christianity or Buddism then you...

Thanks for this thoughtfull reply, I agreed on the most you put out and will quote what I didnt agree on. You simply do not understand how capitalism works. It is not bullshit. Capitalism runs on high prices. It makes economic sense to destroy food. WHy do you think they are doing it? For fun? Capit...

In 1989-90 then I was of 8 years old, then I desired in the utmost deepness of heart to have bananas. A kilogram of bananas cost then 125-325 rubles (1-2euros in todays money) And we couldnt afford it. Today I may go to Eden (a supermarket) and buy me some or some grapefruit; ananas; kivi. What was...

I read the last question of the month in Philosophy now and it gave me many insights and thoughts. It still resonates to make it short with the story of Adam and Eve being in the garden of Eden happily ever after till knoledge of self appeared that they are naked. - Thus an animal had to die to offe...

Because he doesnt mean it by heart but by tradition like the pharisees who are now mocked for being ignorant and cruel but the christians arent any better. We have made the Lords prayer into a tradition like to the budhist the turning of the prayer-wheel counts for a thousand prayers without prayin...

I've been thinking. Why is it that we have so many labels about gender. That there is an age issue about knoledge, what one can now or not. Or what values one can have atall without explaining why.... Is the picture from the inside the same as the picture from the outside. For instance if a man and ...

It's rubbish because "eligibility" was not an issue; that's why I put it in quotes. The freedom part was ment with an ironic sarcasm This does not advance your argument about who is 'ELIGIBLE TO TALK PHILOSOPHY". Just because people watch TV, does not make them INELIGIBLE to philosop...

So happy for you that your here to talk philosophy.

Please post here your thoughts about who has the right to philosophise and on what terms. On Sokrates days it was thought that only the wealthy landowners are eligible because they are free and dont have to work like slaves. Because they have so much ample free time, they see life and the nature be...

Specifically Philosophy of mind: To be most eligible to talk about philosophy one should have learned (studied) through an experience about a subject rather then being taught it. They have ideas and concepts that they came to conclusions about by going through the experience. The people that learn ...

You seem to be having a conversation with your own confused views. THis statement is based on your false assumption that humans have souls, but animals are somehow excluded - which is stupid and banal. You deny other mammals a soul so that you can feel free to eat them. How unutterably childish of ...

... As a Christian all other empathy outside of Christianity is lower to me. Just a mere instinct like with the remark of animals. Only he who is on high-ground can view what is on low-ground. :wink: How very Christian of you. :wink: So you want to represent the oposite that there is a greater empa...

I have always had empathy and so have you. It is a normal human response to the recognition of our own species - able to imagine our place in the mind of others. But you are confused if you think religion can give you an innate emotional response - such an idea of beyond preposterous - you would ha...
