YOU: I'm not asking anyone to change their mind about it. I thought the purpose of this thread was to have an Objectivist change my mind. ME: you're asking someone to change your mind about it The original abortion thread, for one. It's almost entirely a discussion of Objectivism versus collectivis...

You two are NOT helping me convince my brain that my dream last night that everyone was posting explicit pictures of themselves here on pweb was, in fact, just a dream! Please tell me it was just a dream! Uh... yeah, it was just a dream. Just a dream... *whistle...* But seriously. We can make that ...

If you don't work, you don't eat, as the saying goes...

more of the same
I maintain, the only thing that sucks more than boys is girls (even if just barely).

Please. Boys WISH girls sucked more.

That is what you meant, right?

Satya

Maybe it's an issue of carbs.

Venison is downright awesome. Deer hunting is important, especially here. The herds can get huge and cause problems for drivers, farmers and other animals in the ecosystem. So I don't have a problem with hunting as an act of conservationism, and a lot of the meat goes to local food pantries which is...

Satya

This might be "moral philosophy", but whatevs. Wisconsin has an avid hunting culture. The U.S. in general has long history with hunting. I however, do not. Despite living in portions of Wisconsin well-acquainted with the hunting world, I've never done it. I don't plan on doing it. Unless I...

Aren't you , being a Wisconsinite, Canadian-Lite; same great taste, fewer calories?

Wisconsin is the full-calorie version. It's Canada that is Wisconsin-lite. "Wisconsin" and "fewer calories" doesn't jive.

Satya

Currently turkey and gravy and mashed potatoes.

I understand the hypocrisy of the U.S. Christian population; this is not a problem that begins and ends with healthcare and immigration and for us - we actively contradict vast portions of Jesus' teachings in much of our politics. For me, at least, in the issue of illegal immigration, it's not a mat...

Zombieland was indeed an instant classic. There were times where it felt like it was a bit contrived for the sake of displaying as much gore as possible - basically the idea that there were "zombies" not "people" and therefore it wasn't gratuitous to show them being horribly muti...

This falls under the heading of Religion and Moral Philosophy (politics - a branch of philosophy.) Recently, at least in the U.S., there has been nonstop discussion of further government involvement in the health-care industry. We already have Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and so on, now the q...

Objectivism is the only religion or philosophy I know of in which I have thus far failed to find some redeeming quality or aspect. So you found "redeeming" qualities in communism, fascism, slavery, Satanism, Voodoo, Wicca, Islam, Tarot and Astrology, Gnosticism et cetera... But not Object...

I probably have a broken picker

Well there's your problem.

Dear Bob, I'm so weird so sometimes. I almost always look back on social interactions shortly after completion and think, "I never see people talking/acting the way I did... why did I do/say that?" Maybe it was homeschooling or being naturally introverted and not getting the immersive 'pra...

I mourn this news.

"You people", huh? Us EG people?

I thought this was a Warhammer thing at first.

I want to be be a bear. RAWR.

Guns ARE scary. But lots of things are scary. Carnival rides. and SATs and job interviews and visiting in-laws. It doesn't stop us from doing those things. And lots of other things are scary too. Zombies. Politicians. Murderers. Rapists. Rioters. Looters. Thieves. You know what they all have in comm...

Satya

Thankee kindly. I've never grown my hair or facial hair out, really. It's always been a close shave and a short buzz. I only did it on a bet but I kind of like it and other people seem to as well. I might keep it. The color is a little weird though, my hair is medium brown, looks darker the longer i...

Don't forget that on this day in 1955 Dr. Emmett Lathrop Brown hit his head on his bathroom sink and had the vision of the flux capacitor, which made time travel possible. Just so you know. This is why I don't believe in coincidences. Last night, no s***, I had a dream about a flux capacitor and ti...

What the hell. Like, 3 posts all day?

Neil deGrasse Tyson!

Satya

It's what I would consider one of the "good" martial arts. Of course, I take it because the teachers are good, both very open minded and use whatever techniques will work, regardless of what art/country it may have originated in or what it looks like. We fall under the heading of Dr Masaak...

Miracle Whip and Mayo people may not like it, but they're basically the same. GROSS.

I forgot sauerkraut. It's big here too.

There's this Jack Daniel's flavored brown spicy mustard that's awesome on deli sandwiches, and for hotdogs and burgers, Secret Stadium Sauce is pretty good too.

Satya

No, not condoms. Condiments. Before I start more heated, convoluted and important debates that will eventually degrade into thoroughly enjoyable flame wars, I thought I'd start slowly with something benign. I was just eating a delicious turkey bratwurst (Wisconsin state law requires every citizen co...

(( Mods: feel free to move this wherever; it fits under "Science", "Philosophy" and Milagre. )) So all I keep hearing lately, in just about every medium, is this "2012" thing. Documentaries, movies, TV dramas, religious messages, books and so on.. What's really up, anyw...

A still more glorious dawn awaits...

A morning filled with 400 billion stars; the rising of the Milky Way...

Yeah, he's an icon for sure.

I've always had a remarkable sense of timing; I don't believe in coincidence anymore.

And I'm flattered you consider it fortunate...

I'm sure any PWebber worth his/her salt has seen these two videos, but why not. http://symphonyofscience.com/ Shame on you if you haven't already. Watch them both now, and go sit in the corner and think about what you've done. Did you know that Bill Nye studied under Carl Sagan? Did you know that th...
