Now he's bailing the world? I'm done with Republicans!
Stethoscope replied to Marty McFly's topic in Current Events
More like what's wrong with the people who run the party. Special interest and religious backgrounds makes a bad mix, they are dipping in both with dirty hands. -
Essentially all of these religions are just theories of humongous speculation. Everyone of these scholars and followers have their own ritual about how who we are, who's above us and what rule's are commanded upon everyone. But it's all based on the "eyes" of these authors of illustrious books. How in the world can we make fact of these accounts? Religion is but an ongoing quest for much of the human race to actually define what their God/Entities promised them, if they did this and followed that. It's fine to that, just don't it all over the place. Don't parade it around with such ignorance and such lack of proof, it's getting really, really, old. Science is kicking the ass of these "noble men". With technology and free will, the free man can attempt to debunk these mystics, but enjoy and learn about his existence.

The fact is she made a choice, and whether it will help the child out or ultimatley cast her into prison or worst, is unknown. It's like saying you don't tip a waitress at a restraunt. It's certaintly a nice thing to do for the waitress, but there is no moral to it, no obligation.

It was neither good nor bad. The point is she chose to help those children out and that was her moral. No, one forced her to help them, she did it because she wanted to.

The Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism
Stethoscope replied to ctrl y's topic in Metaphysics and Epistemology
I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm apathetic about the entire idea of Creationism. That I acknowledge what theorists say about where we came from. I personally I know the facts of what science has done for us and is our only means of explaining our existence and how one piece of mass formed into another. We have so much time to dig even further by the accelerating change of our technology. -
Because people choose to live.

The Evolutionary Argument Against Naturalism
Stethoscope replied to ctrl y's topic in Metaphysics and Epistemology
The key is not to assume so hastily about naturalism, we don't know everything about anything just yet. Yes, we know a lot and that's all we know. Once we takes the next steps (technology, theories, etc.) we progress on our understanding of anything. If that makes sense? -
There is no moral code saying you have to help others, you can't find one. Therefore man is a complete individual, he is not bound to others.

We are rational animals, it's evolution. The dominance of species.
-
It's wanting to live, as human beings have the ability to.

(warning: pseudoscience) 3200 miles per gallon
Stethoscope replied to Ehre's topic in Engineering & Technology
Water could actually be one of the best options in my opinion, there was a man named Stan Meyer who reportedly achieved this. there even a video on Youtube about his car. -
Vatican: Aliens could be free from sin
Stethoscope replied to DavidV's topic in Intellectuals and the Media
Wow the Vatican is ridiculous. -
People who know Objectivism or people that have an understanding of it need to come out speak about these things. The same way you would go out against censorship and "taboos" that some people do not like, but have it enforced anyway.
-
Yeah I do realize that, if the Founding Fathers knew of Objectivism this country would be awesome.
-
By taking a look at the constitution, is it safe to say that the Founding Fathers had a clear philosophy that was Objectivism? And if so when did this country stray from that path?
-
Yes, that's the whole point to do what you will as long as it does not impede on others.
-
These two must go hand in hand, governments or collectives who have the power over individuals are at absolute fault. What gives those people the absolute right to take their ideas and stick it into the face of the individuals and say "This is the way to live"? I mean can we agree on this? What are your thoughts?
