You can't define "better," that's kind of the thing.

I don't understand your point. Morality is relative because you can't define it. The only way you can end human suffering is to end human existence.

And I really dont know what the Klan has to do with it lol. Wouldnt they just continue to interpret the meaning of "better" to suit them regardless of the Officially Decided Definition of "making the world better?"

WWWP 05-07-2020 05:31 PM

There are as many different ways of interpreting "making the world better" as there are genders.

The klan cant justify their treatment of black people as a means to make the world better when you include ending human suffering in the list of what better means.

It's lol cause it's self-congratulatory basic bitch entry level ****. Oh wow I'm so smart I figured out how the Holocaust wasn't objectively bad. Like, congrats, now keep wading through the philosophy kiddie pool until you've arrived at at least chest level edge.

Im pretty sure you and I (and most people on this forum) could sit down and come up with a list of things that constitutes "better". At that point we can make objective decisions with respect to the goal. It's not about some absolute definition its about agreeing upon the usage of the word before arguing about it. When we are debating and we each say better, it should mean the same thing otherwise the discussion is futile.

No bill that is signed into law should be allowed to have more than 1000 words.

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 08:53 AM

Refer to Bill 2.0 for more details. Coming soon TM.

but ya don't know nuthin' because you devalue things like philosophy

it's actually a bad relationship with Science when you think it can applied where it really can't


Yep

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 09:28 AM

Care to explain? I dont see how im moving any goal posts.

Edit: Where does science come into this exactly? It's debate 101. If you cant agree or accept what a person means when they say something the discussion cant even begin to happen.

Donny, you're out of your element.

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 09:33 AM

I know, youre anti-logic. What was I thinking.. derp

Why make progress when you can sit there bitching and getting off on your misery?

OccultHawk 05-08-2020 09:52 AM

You’re back on that old fallback again?

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 09:54 AM

I mean im trying to have a convo but they just say dumb****. So ill go back to saying dumb****.

This place is pretty boring when the only person worth having these kinds of discussions with is frown. At least when we disagree we can have a good back and fourth.

Frownland 05-08-2020 09:55 AM

inb4 10 pages of back and forth over the false dichotomy between trying to improve your life and addressing how external influences have impacted your life.

Y'all remember when we did that every ****ing day for like three months straight? That sure was fun.

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 10:00 AM

Dont worries, im done. This was a good reminder of why people get trolled.

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 10:07 AM

Yeah, no ****. Thanks for pointing out the obvious and ignoring the larger point.

Calm down Philosophy 101. Just because you're not making the connections doesn't mean they're not there.

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 10:09 AM

The thing that I said does not conflict with that point.

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 10:31 AM

Ethics can be measured objectively when you attach it to a expectation/goal, which is what we always do when discussing ethics, morality, etc..

The argument is always that X is or isnt ethical/moral because of Y subjective expectation/goal. When Ys usage is understood by all parties in the discussion you can absolutely make objective statements about Xs morality/ethics. The people dont even have to agree about each others view of Y, but they need to accept(for arguments sake) what the other people mean when they say Y.

Otherwise you end up with sitcom dilemmas where people are like, "did you hear?", and the other person is like "yes, omg!" but they are actually talking about two different things and then it leads to drama.

Frownland 05-08-2020 10:34 AM

If x + 2 = 4, then x = 2

DWV: Well what you're not considering is that 2 + 2 = 4, because what you're saying doesn't make sense.

WWWP 05-08-2020 10:40 AM

Lol

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 10:46 AM

Sick dodge.

That’s what I told Exo about The Rolling Stones

Saying you don’t like the Stones is to me a lot like saying you don’t like The Clash. As an opinion or a statement of fact about what you enjoy or whatever I’m incredulous. You might as well tell me you think two plus two equals five.

It’s not a knock on you it’s honestly how my brain processes it. I don’t get it.

See Downy - we’re a lot a like

Thanks for connecting the dots frown

Hey what’s the topic today?

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 10:57 AM

Yeah, too bad Frowns formula is whack.

WWWP 05-08-2020 11:16 AM

I bet you meet dumb people wherever you go

DwnWthVwls 05-08-2020 11:19 AM

Nope, I get my fill on MB.

Its funny how you think because I disagree with people that I think they are stupid.

Frownland 05-08-2020 11:23 AM

That is pretty funny ngl

I think certain people think having a supposedly good job gives them immunity.

After Pence’s stunt at that hospital, if he dies over the next few weeks - omg the joy I will feel. If both him and trump died. I would be ecstatic beyond words.

It hurts me that she's that attractive and works for that Norman Bates reenactor. But that's worse, and by worse here I mean vomit-inducing, is that she married that goblin, Stephen Miller.

Even if Obamagate is true, how exactly would it be treason unless you have a fascist allegiance to Trump?
