Can you elaborate?
Sure. Persuasion depends on the audience, specifically persuasion to action. You will never convince a man who values "blue" to support "red",...
Apologies if you thought I was trying to ask you a "gotcha" question, I admit I haven't read Locke and was simply asking for some clarification....
So according to Locke, once I'm finished brushing my teeth and put my toothbrush back in its holder, I no longer have a natural right to it...
Take a step back and ask yourself what does this even mean. What does it mean to be correct that "blue is the true color"? This is not a...
This conclusion seems to follow from your own definitions. I've never seen them anywhere else. Prima facie it seems to be a bit awkward to say...
Lol wut? If the government doesn't value blue, it's pointless. No compelling argument is going to matter. The word "should" is not part of my...
Very questionable, and not comprehensive. I'm not going to look, this whole framework is woefully inept at establishing anything. I never...
Yes I understand the distinction you're trying to make, so-called "victimless crimes" vs actual crimes. Asking where abortion falls in that...
Ugh there is so much wrong with this. Let's just focus on one piece, shall we? You cannot support your value systems with logic and/or evidence....
I don't see what your overall point is, I'm afraid.
Well, sure, I agree that property rights have existed for thousands of years. But surely you're not equating this notion of "conservatism" with...
I can help you understand. We don't live in the "land of the free".
The reason why estimating the effectiveness of self-defense with a gun is difficult is because they are usually "non-events". In most cases...
It would be irrational to ask for such a thing. That's what laws are, the "legislation of social norms". All laws. That's a non-sequitur. The...
It's really not that socialist, taking the "real" meaning of socialism as worker ownership of the means of production. There might be outliers and...
There's a difference between an assertion of fact and an assertion of value. "Logic/evidence" is needed for the former, but not for the latter,...
You dodged this question: You responded, but you didn't address the question. You hold up Roe vs. Wade as a source of authority, which logically...
You're missing the point if you think I need to "justify" my preferences, or show why they are "best". I don't. It's an aesthetic and psychic...
Dodging the question. Can't handle your own logic applied to yourself? Oh, so you deny the supremacy of the supreme court? Then why appeal to...
I'm not sure why you're bringing this up, this idea of "respect". I certainly didn't, and I don't see how its relevant. The meaning of a law is...
What if Roe vs. Wade were overturned? Would you become pro-life? You're smart, you can figure that out.
Well firstly, Nietzsche isn't against anyone being "selfish". Modesty is a Christian virtue. But also, Nietzsche's not so much one to proclaim...
The best is to have a culture where anti-abortion is a trending value.
