Why Palestinians Protest
magicwatch comments on May 15, 2018:
the irony is that this is a link to Amazon, and the only winners from war are the profiters of war

It is a link to a book on recent historical research.
Best way to combat antisemitism is by firing live rounds at unarmed kids, Israel confirms
Mooolah comments on May 15, 2018:
"Palestinians " are Semites. Palestinians have a country. It is called Jordan. 98% of Jordanians are "Palestinians". Israel is the only country there that changes governments by ballot. Israel is the only democracy in a region ruled by kings, sheiks, dictators. Now they aren't Moslem terrorists. ...
Krish55 replies on May 15, 2018:
Jordan is not Palestine. That is an Israeli myth and excuse. Just look at the historical maps of the Mandates. Israel is by def. racist and is only and ethnic democracy, like the Confederacy or former South Africa.
Does anybody think that moving our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem will increase the possibility of a...
Kafirah comments on May 15, 2018:
Not only do I not believe it will foster any peaceful resolution to the conflict, I believe nothing will until there are no such thing as Palestinian people. Until Israel has completed their genocide of the Palestinian people and taken over their entire country uncontested will the conflict end. ...

Nikki Haley walks out of U.
crazycurlz comments on May 15, 2018:
I actually have a lot of respect for how Nikki Haley handles herself in the UN. I, personally think the UN should be dismantled and called into question. So many of its leaders are dictators guilty of human rights violations in their own countries. This guy, Mossab Yousef Hassan, son of one of the...

Socialized Medicine for the Rich and Powerful
cmadler comments on May 15, 2018:
So her health care is funded by her spouse's employer, just like millions of other Americans. I don't really see the big deal here. Are you suggesting that employers shouldn't permit spousal coverage, or that the federal government should stop providing health coverage altogether?
Krish55 replies on May 15, 2018:
The point, as is obvious from the post, is that it should be available to all citizens!
Making the Drug Unneccessary
JimG comments on May 14, 2018:
Social justice, economic stability, free education, and economic equilibrium would all be useful to serve that purpose.

Is God a Replacement for our Dad?
AsAbove comments on May 12, 2018:
I dunno, but it's a very comforting thought to some, to have parent that will never go away, and eventually take you"back home" to some ultimate home with your *real* parent.
Krish55 replies on May 12, 2018:
An illusion can be comforting! That's why it persists for so long!
Positive Thinking: A New Secular Religion?
JustKip comments on May 12, 2018:
Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right. — Henry Ford The only thing that makes positive thinking work, is that it makes changes in the attitude of the one doing the thinking, and they become more likely to keep trying. The problem with it is in thinking that your ...

Why Was An Honors Philosophy Doctoral Candidate So Stupid?

Having a college education does not automatically make one intelligent.

@josh23452 true, but she's both. However she lacks emotional intelligence, which is often more important than intellectual intelligence!
Positive Thinking: A New Secular Religion?
Stacey48 comments on May 10, 2018:
Are you talking about "the law of attraction"? I read a bit about it. I think it could easily go in that direction. Manifestation of our thoughts. I think our reality is based on how we perceive it, but I don't think we can make things happen just by thinking about them in the right way.
Krish55 replies on May 11, 2018:
@Stacey48 you said earlier that reality is based on perception. When these victims experienced horror, was that based on reality or mere perception?

birdingnut comments on May 10, 2018:
You are mistaken. The "placebo" affect alone proves that what we think affects us. People who have visual feedback can even regulate their heart beats, blood pressure, etc. We are ultimately made of energy and everything is connected. We are contributing to creating our own universe. ...

I didn't say that all of PT is BS. Religions have their value too but are also full of BS.
Glass half full or half empty?

If you're discussing liquid in a container, you're not discussing the philosophy behind the question. You are criticizing philosophy without understanding it.
Krish55 replies on May 10, 2018:
Since you are so enamored of Philosophy, it would be appropriate to discuss the issue at hand rather than make personal comments. Please explain your last paragraph.

Glass half full or half empty?
Connolly42 comments on May 10, 2018:
Half-full implies the mathematical addition of "positive." Half -empty implies the mathematical of "subtraction" or, negative numbers. Please stop trying to be philosophically "astute" when the basics clearly apply.
Krish55 replies on May 10, 2018:
Pointing out the manipulation of words to support a desired philosophy of life is not being pretentious.

No wonder you left the glass half-full!

Krish55 replies on May 10, 2018:
You are mathematically correct as far as positive and negative regarding mathematical meaning. However this is totally different from positive and negative with regards to social meaning. The milk example illustrates this difference!

Uncorrugated comments on Apr 28, 2018:
We're talking semantics again. I believe lots of claims. The reason I believe is because I have assessed the evidence for those claims and understand that it is sufficient for me to accept them as likely to be true. I agree that you can believe for good reasons or bad reasons, but provided you...

Of course we're talking semantics. And we have to - if we care about meaning!

Petter comments on Apr 25, 2018:
It looks interesting - but how does it relate to countries outside of the USA? To Britain, France or Spain for example, where police brutality is (nowadays) severely curtailed and the welfare state has become strongly rooted?
Krish55 replies on Apr 25, 2018:
I show that the more social-democratic the country is, the better its education system.
