No, we need to fix this error in the US constitution and make DC residents fully enfranchised citizens, at long last.<br /><br />“You under6that DC is diffrent is not supposed to be a state.”<br />I understand that the founders of our country made some big errors and omissions, many of which have been fixed by later generations, and now it is up to us to fix the mistake they made with DC.<br /><br />“It's not like Bush was out looking for him”<br />I think you mean “not”. Bush failed to plan to catch him when he invaded. Then Bush got distracted by a huge second war based on lies. Bush was a disaster for our country, his failure to get Bin Laden being relatively minor compared to his enormously harmful war and banking meltdown.<br /><br />“Unless he changed policy and directives that made it easier to find the guy.”<br />Obama made the decision to act on incomplete information. Obama also made sure the strike force went in with extensive training, heavy firepower, and a layered backup organization that was able to wreck a chopper and still keep fighting and still extract, and get refueled midway back and make it back home.<br /><br />Obama make gutsy decisions to act on incomplete intelligence, violate Pakistan’s (a nuclear state) territory, and dump Bin Laden’s remains at sea (denying supporters a pilgrimage site and sending Bin Laden into oblivion).<br /><br />Of course Obama did not write and execute all plans himself, he was the executive, he reviewed plans, set the priorities, enforced availability of resources, and provided the top level authority to act by making key decisions.<br /><br />But then, Obama was a great commander in chief who, among many other acts of fine leadership, honored our POWs, not like scum Trump who denigrates our POWs. <br /><br />“Also didn't Rewanda happen on Clinton's watch.”<br />America was not attacked in Rwanda. America did not prevent the Cultural Revolution in China, the purges in the USSR, or a number of other human catastrophes. Our first priority is our own national defense. We also act with our allies. From time to time we act on humanitarian grounds, but there is much too much humanitarian misery in the world for the USA to fix.<br /><br />“The sole superpower couldn't be bothered why isn't BLM upset about that?”<br />Because the organization BLM is a money making scam based on lies. The organization BLM spreads lies that are believed by enough people to generate many millions of dollars in donations. Those donations then go to salaries and “consulting fees” to the liars that operate the organization BLM.<br />StardustyPsychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493629973262220492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-63849755989481075812020-10-09T18:02:11.625-07:002020-10-09T18:02:11.625-07:00Unknown
“Now you wish to tear it apart using any p...Unknown<br />“Now you wish to tear it apart using any pretext.”<br />Huh? Where did you hear that, on Fox? Or maybe it was a Trump tweet?<br /><br />“What about when red states start splitting like cells.”<br />States have split several times but it has to be approved by the state and by the US congress (house and senate). So, in modern times that is very unlikely to happen.<br /><br />Folks in NoCal want to split from SoCal, but, then cooler heads prevail and it will almost certainly never happen.<br /><br />“You add states to get rid of the EC red state advantage”<br />Nope, our constitution has built into it a gross injustice, taxation without representation. DC statehood would solve that problem. Puerto Rico is bigger than a third of present states, and is a US territory populated by US citizens. What is wrong with a US territory populated by US citizens becoming about the 20th largest state?<br /><br />“I note also that you called it Obama's seat not a seat on the people SC that Obama picked.”<br />It was Obama’s seat in the sense that every seat is the pick of the sitting president at the time the seat is vacated, except the Republicans packed the court by refusing to do their duty. Now, in the most brazen show of gross hypocrisy in modern history, the Republican want to pack the court with another Trump seat.<br /><br />The Republicans are court packers. They used the filibuster to create large numbers of vacancies during the Obama years, and then they filled them during the Trump years.<br /><br />The Republicans are court packers. They refused to act on an Obama nomination with nearly a year to do so, yet they are rushing through a Trump pick days before the election, or even as lame ducks they have already announced..<br /><br />“Why are certain people scumbags? Because they don't behave the way you like?”<br />Your words, not mine. Your strawman.<br /><br />“It can only improve if there is an objective standard if we know it through reason either reason must change or our knowledge is there another option?”<br />Hmm, that sentence is not entirely clear, but no, we have no absolutely provable objective standards, only reasons and principles agreed upon by convention.<br /><br />“But that begs the question of who's standard if any is True.”<br />No standard is absolutely provably truly the best. Morals are relative, standards are relative, we figure things out the best we can by reason and convention.<br /><br />Our original constitution was written to create a government such that land owning white males 21 years of age and older were the only people who could vote. Most people today would agree that extending the vote to all races, both sexes, and 18 year olds represents positive and good progress. Can I absolutely prove that progress is good? No, nobody can, but if you have reasons to go back I suspect nearly all people would consider those to be bad reasons.<br /><br />“It's not just the adding of states it's how you are doing it if the anti slavery side wanted to start the war earlier all they had to do was pack the union with free states.”<br />Yes, there is a strong correlation between former slave states and present red states. Pretty ugly.<br /><br />“Adding one red one bleu would be ok.”<br />Indeed, adding a red state is like adding a slave state. Adding a blue state is like adding a free state.<br /><br />“Otherwise it's going to make tensions worse. If you have the best arguments why are you in a rush?”<br />Because slavery was wrong, slavery hurt millions of people terribly, and slavery needed to be abolished ASAP. The destructive results of minority presidents such as Bush and Trump have hurt millions of people terribly and need to be abolished ASAP.<br /><br />It is the fact that my arguments are best that makes getting rid of these ignorant destructive minority presidents so critical.<br />StardustyPsychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493629973262220492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-23610800090443625002020-10-09T15:08:42.508-07:002020-10-09T15:08:42.508-07:00Unknown
“Is Julián Castro not mainstream did you n...Unknown<br />“Is Julián Castro not mainstream did you not see the debate where his cry was "reproductive justice."<br />Is he not mainstream? Was he not part of Obama's cabinet?”<br />No, I didn’t see that debate. <br /><br />“You apeal to the constitution specifically the 14th amendment. To abolish the electoral college.”<br />No I didn’t, the 14th amendment, as well as the rest of the constitution, is there to protect the minority after elimination of the EC, just as it protects other minorities who do not presently get extra voting power.<br /><br />“Does not the constitution contain writing making the electoral college system?”<br />Yes, and constitutionally enumerated rights and provisions commonly come into conflict with each other. To deal with that laws are passed, lawsuits are filed, arguments are made, and court rulings are made.<br /><br />But since the EC is enumerated in the constitution, it would require a constitutional amendment to abolish the EC.<br /><br />“Are you saying that ancient/"outdated" = bad”<br />Depends on the subject, but mostly, yes, that is the dominant trend. Aristotelian physics was awful, the Five Ways by Aquinas are preposterously argued, the Christian bible is cover to cover fiction (Genesis is fiction, Revelation is fiction, and nearly everything else in the bible is fiction). Slavery, racism, wars of conquest, superstitions of all sorts, and on and on have been around for thousands of years and remain very bad ideas and very bad practices.<br /><br />There are some good things people figured out or expressed long ago that remain good, like the rudiments of math and logic, some insights into human nature, some art, but most of the ancient explanations and practices and beliefs are awful.<br /><br />“Turns out that when you live and work almost in the middle of no where and it's colder than most places on earth almost none of your CO2 reduction suggestions work”<br />False, but I did say that some solutions work better in the more sunny states.<br /><br />Wind energy works well in all climates, but storms and ice can temporarily require stopping the turbine. Solar works well during the summer but is not practical if piled with snow (although heaters can melt the snow and may well use less energy than is produced). Electric cars work in all states but for short periods in a few states it will get too cold to leave them outside overnight (a garage is fine and the batteries produce heat while driving and the typical battery will work down to –20C or below so conditions have to be quite extreme for an electric car to stop working).<br /><br />Fuel economy standards work great everywhere. Conservation by legislation has been extremely successful in saving Americans billions in personal fuel costs as well as being a huge factor in American energy independence.<br /><br />“There is some Christian persecution Jack Philips”<br />No there isn’t. Jack Philips runs a public accommodation business. Public accommodation businesses are not allowed to discriminate. If person X has a religion that says not to serve black people in his public accommodation business the state will require person X to serve black people anyhow. That is not an attack on the religion of person X. Person X is still free to believe and say black people are non-humans. The state has standards of non-discrimination in public accommodation businesses and nobody gets to make excuses to run a discriminatory public accommodation business, not Jack Philips or anybody else for any reason.<br />StardustyPsychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493629973262220492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-3229509582512254302020-10-09T13:54:53.094-07:002020-10-09T13:54:53.094-07:00geo

As for "uninteresting", if people behaving differently by transitioning from an assigned gender is uninteresting to you, why are you in this conversation?One Browhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938816242512563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-65934392551050829532020-10-08T02:25:26.566-07:002020-10-08T02:25:26.566-07:00https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAtheism/comments/dtv5...https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAtheism/comments/dtv5yj/the_potential_danger_of_edward_feser/<br /><br />What are your thoughts on this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-14411079054908303942020-10-07T18:28:23.757-07:002020-10-07T18:28:23.757-07:00Gametes are binary, not modes on a spectrum.

You're either one that can impregnate or one that can be impregnated (defects aside as discussed already).<br /><br />I don't care what you think of property dualism (personally, I think it's yucky). Either mental states (gender in this case) are completely divorced from brain states (physical sex in this case) as is the case in substance dualism, or they are identical (eliminative materialism), or somewhere in-between. One cannot completely separate mental states from brain states and remain a materialist, and one cannot conjoin them in some fashion and then insist that "gender" is unmoored by physical sex unless, as stated already, you want to make gender a word that just means people behave differently, which is uninteresting.<br /><br /><br />T Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287822708519943071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-90658607957233328832020-10-07T17:14:08.449-07:002020-10-07T17:14:08.449-07:00T N,
Before I get any further in this discussion,...T N,<br /><br />Before I get any further in this discussion, I want to make sure we are using words in the same way, in particular, "material". In the essay you linked to, Feser says, "But just as solidity is nevertheless a physical property of a system of water molecules, ..."<br /><br />Now, do we agree that solidity is a property of how these groups of molecules are arranged, and not of the individual molecules? In particular, does this mean that differences in pattern and shape are considered to be material differences for the purposes of this discussion? If so, are the properties of having a particular arrangement and shape just material properties? Whether I hold to some form of property dualism, or not, will depend on this answer.<br /><br />As for binary sex differences, biologically we have, at the very least, a bimodal distribution in the variety. It is at least as wrong to look only at the modes and ignore the rest as it is to say all points on the spectrum are equally likely.One Browhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938816242512563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954608646904080796.post-7659825441690613862020-10-07T12:04:07.298-07:002020-10-07T12:04:07.298-07:00@BalancedTryteOperator:

Truth as a particular is not: there are plenty of ugly truths."<br /><br />In Thomistic Metaphysics truth is a transcendental above every genus or species. It is always beautiful, although particular acts, to which a truth can refer, and which do have genus and species, can be ugly. It is always more beautiful to know what is than to not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
