    This is knowable without a scientific study...

    As I said in my original post, everyone obviously understands that the percentage isn't 0, and understands why. But the idea that homosexual couples have less children than heteros…

    gasp YOU MEAN THE SLAVE OWNER POINTED TO THE CURRENT LAWS TO DEFEND THEIR POSITION!?!??! Well that worked out well in terms of their history, lmao. Please, keep telling me how the …

    Dude, so right that I can't slam that upvote hard enough... I'm just saying, if we can't have exactly a 40 hour work week, and we can't do it exactly for every person alive, then o…

    omg, you're so right! The blogger had to be scouted by the agency, which used agency resources, therefore the blogger is totally liable for that risk!!!!!oneoneoneneoneshiftoneshif…

    No one is saying that current laws aren't bullshit, they obviously are. The point is that that if Uber goes away, it won't stop people from paying for rides. It's a bit like claimi…

    ahahahahahahaha. You mean you can't define free will in those terms!?!?!? Who would have guessed....

    You pulled those numbers out of your ass... The truth is that 99% of the population believes that homosexual couples will have less children then heterosexual... The surprising res…

    I'd like to buy "what is stockholm's syndrome for 500 alex!". https://www.britannica.com/science/Stockholm-syndrome The better question. Are you implying this doesn't exist and the…

    How can we know that eggs are tasty unless a 3rd party tells us! I won't quote the science, I'll simply say that things are knowable outside of a system...

    If I were to engage with you in a serious manner, it would imply that I agree with your view that the only morality is that which is in the constitution. But I fundamentally disagr…

    I would like for you to define 'free will' in such a way that it cannot, in any way, include slavery. And you must do so by not explicitly defining it as 'not slavery'. go.

    It's almost as if defining anything as a "mathematical truth" is definitionally wrong and anyone having done so should be called out as a liar. Only the person who responded to the…

    Thank you, I took the same issue you did when reading this. There are not "truths" in mathematics, it's literally a system of logic with definitions at the bottom (axioms) and then…

    I don't know, anything that implied dogs being raped would have been rejected by me, a layperson who grew up with dogs. Your argument seems to be more about "because some people we…

    Maybe this particular study, but I have to say I believe it in general. I remember working for a manufacturing company where I drove a forklift (during the summer). One of my most …

    I guess slavery is worth having since someone, somewhere, "chose" to do it... Wait, what's that!?!? Are you saying it's acceptable for society to make decisions for those who don't…

    Are you SURE you're not stupid? Fine, maybe you're not stupid, but the alternative is immoral. One of those is under your control the other is not. Which do you want to choose?

    Why would it be unethical to cut out the middle man?? Oh nooo!?!?! How dare I hire that blogger directly, I'll go to jail/be fined for not going through a hiring agency!?!?! You re…

    When you can imagine a slave owner making the same argument ('it invalidates my business model!'), said argument kind of becomes a positive. I mean that seriously. If your business…

    that's the wrong attitude. That would be like a layman hearing someone say "general AI isn't possible, their claims are bollocks" and someone responding with "maybe that's true, bu…

    I just want to say that this is an attitude that's come up over time and as an older person it baffles me. To explain, college curriculum's require atleast 1 public speaking class.…
